    Slime mold: like that uniquely cool kid you want to hang out with but your other friends just think is "weird"...
  • @QUIRK1019
    I absolutely love the personal touch Tasha's videos have developed. She created a nice niche for herself on one of YouTube's best channels.

    They do seem smart when they solve mazes and such. I had colleagues who were studying these organisms for robotics research. One of the slime molds was named Bob the Blob and having met him I can confirm he was a slimy blob! Almost cute in its own way.

  • Wow, I've known about Slime Molds for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever heard that they're actually Amoebas. You learn something new even when watching videos on subjects you've heard and watched many times already.
  • You see now if someone calls you a Slime Ball, take it as a compliment.

    Slime molds are jerks. They killed my shiitake mycelium pile.
  • @effyelvira
    Once they are able to communicate with Orcas, it’s over for us

    I love these slime molds... They are beyond fascinating and they really challenge our conceptualization of intelligence.
  • @KissyKat
    Hey Tasha! LOVE your kitty Rumi ❤❤❤
  • @slowbro1337
    Had a colony of these peeps pop up a few days ago. They had the most vibrant yellow.
  • @Blabberflups
