Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?

[–] denial@feddit.org 83 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 months ago

Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.

Only two legs and too many houses. Slimy, yes.

Phylogenetically, they're still tetrapods.

A couple who make real-estate influencer videos?

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but it can be filled in with "house".

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Clam? I'd put them at like 0.25 slime, though

Nautiloids? They have a shell, are slimy, and have tentacles ("feet")

Hermit crab should work? It feels more 'house' than a regular exoskeleton

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago

It doesn't have slime to be yes on the slime axis.

Four appendages, is slimy, and has a house...

Is it the average landlord?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus with a lot of legs/limbs removed.

I guessing there might have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautiloid, now extinct that had "only" 4 legs.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's Longhorn Cowfish.

The hexagonal plate-like scales of these fish are fused together into a solid, triangular, box-like carapace, from which the fins and tail protrude.

a nautilus, as long as you accept tentacles as legs

Although, they have more than 4, so I guess they wouldint be featured at that particular point

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

A well lubeicated turtle

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What about no legs, no slime, and a house?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bro, that's a regular old house.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How'd you get a house with no slime?

I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah turtle goes in that corner and them armadillo or something for 4 legs, house, no slime.

Octopus, they typically go into objects and close them tightly like a shell, and no doubt about legs and slime.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] Soup@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.

A middle class couple with a food fetish?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'm more concerned with the partials on the scale. 3 legs, maybe slime, and 0.25 house?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Great… now I have to go fill them all in….

🤔

Would an armadillo count as 3/4 of a house?

As a turtle fan it's always cool when you can look at a diagram and suddenly spot a turtle on it! 🐢

It's like looking at the H-R diagram and going "ooo, Discworld would be right about there, possibly"

I don't wanna meet anything that is slimy and has four legs. That is pretty much how games like half-life start.
