narration: "my dad always used to say, on earth we have perfectly normally sized animals, no giant versions of animals anywhere. but man's greed will cause the animals to grow giant and become very mad about that." #monsterdon
PR guy has no useful skills for resisting a giant mosquito draining, unlike our 150 pound, 45 year old all-american slabs of tackling and blocking over here #monsterdon
the giant animals are just all here already and everyone is just fine with that except the football guys. is this like the wicker man where the moral of the story is "dont go to other places and disrepect the local customs" #monsterdon
how is not everyone on this island already gigantic. surely one person would have tried it, and then if one person is a giant, you can't very well remain not being a giant yourself #monsterdon
ok now go back and tell everyone about the giant chickens because holy shit there are giant chickens and a food that makes things giant over there and that seems important for people to know #monsterdon
so it makes everything big by just doing a global linear scaling of all tissues, including tissues whose material properties change with volume scaling like exoskeletons and membranes and stuff. so that's why the maggots are so tough, their normally very squashable skins are now hard as bone from being scaled 100x #monsterdon
so that would mean that each individual hair follicle would be scaled as well, and rather than being a large mouse with same-size fur, it would be a giant mouse shooting out big rope-width hairs that would impair the normal utility of hair, so eventually all giant mammals should lose all their hair because their extra-thick skins should provide insulation anyway #monsterdon
listen up football champ, when you go back to the island where things are mysteriously growing very large, why don't you spend even one second making a plan for what to do about things being very large. #monsterdon
giving absolutely no stage direction to the bacteriologist so she is just standing there with a blank smile, unmoving at all times she is not talking #monsterdon
