Pretty sure that’s a universal opinion.
I have one of these at home.

That makes me happy, those plushies are so cute! I showed the post pic to two people and both said "Ew," I think their cuteness detector is broken.
Looks like you found the first item for your Christmas wish list!
For sure, and I like the earrings, too. Really cool site in general, thanks for sharing!
Damn there’s a 15” one
Yeah it never occurred to me that anyone might not think they're cute
I mean. They’re basically microscopic Flying Bison.
HOW have I not seen that before?
With a body like a vacuum cleaner bag & face that looks like a jacuzzi jet, they’re about as adorable as they come!
That's a really spot-on description.
No you are not definitely the only one
Aw relevant username
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Cute, little, brown lunch bag
I like how they're wrapped in paper
That's probably an artefact of the electron microscopy preparation. Irl they're translucent and they're even cuter when they move: https://www.shutterstock.com/cs/video/clip-1039663166-tardigrade-high-quality-footage-video-water-bear
You are.
Not.
Noooooooooo
i want a dog sized one as a domestic robot, and various tools can come from the torso bag as needed.
Put a hard hat on a star-nosed mole instead.. It may not be as useful as a robot, but it will look like it knows what it's doing.
Nightmare fuel tho
Not enough legs
Looks like someone wearing a costume to disguise as a bacteria :D
Now I can't unsee it, remind me of those T-rex costumes.
Relevant:
Fucking hell, they are the most alien looking animals on the planet, they're amazing.
I mean, I don't disagree, but also let me introduce you to Centurio senex. Also quite alien-looking!
Looks like bat bukkakke porn, got any more?
The bats or the porn?
They attract each other with songs and raised facial flaps... What's porn compared to that?
Release the bats!

It's wild that the folds in their "skin" seem to have genuine creases even.
Nope. My neighbor is a tardigrade expert in fact. Retired Marine Biologist Professor.
Do they have a bunch of tardigrades at home? Or marine life in general?
Nope. They are retired and spend lots of vacation time in Cabo. Used to be avid scuba divers.
It makes so much sense for a marine biologist to be an avid scuba diver. As a therapist, when i retire, I will go to Cabo, sit at a café, and people watch. That's the same thing, right?
I’d say so! I’m pushing 50 and still not sure what I will be when I grow up so who knows what I will do if I ever retire lol.
You still have plenty of time to decide :)
If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home || Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne? || Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn. || These are the things that I never will learn. ||
