Can someone link me to this info? I already wiki searched turtles and didn't find it. Websearch is stuck on turtle graphics
I guess the web search messed up then. You should search for biology stuff! Not computer science stuff! Turtles are very computer science related creatures, but there's more to them!
Turtle Mode is actually a complicated thing! It's often implemented in two ways: Cryptodira are the turtles that just pull their heads in, while Pleurodira kind of tuck their head inside sideways.
But it gets even more complicated with certain ancient turtle species. For example, we have the snapping turtles. Technically cryptodira, but they don't really enough shell to cover themselves. Not that they need to because they'll fucking go snappity snap on everything on range. Or we have things like the megacephalum which again is a cryptodira turtle but probably can't retract the head because did we mention it's called the Megacephalum.
EDIT: Forgot: snapping turtle copypasta
I’m not trying to be a dick here, just confused. But is this post indicating that you’re old enough and smart enough to know how to use the fediverse but didn’t know that turtles turtle?
Also, like tisktisk@piefed.social indicated, I get results for anything but the animal when I search “turtle mode”. Graphics, EV modes, and even flipping a quadcopter drone, but nothing about neck mechanics in a shelled amphibian.
This is proof that we are all living in a turtle's dream.
This reminds me of the photo about the tanks….
Yeah it kinda makes sense, turtles are, after all, the tanks of the nature!
However, in this photo, the roles are kind of reversed, aren't they? These are just Nature's Tanks, which are unduly harassed by some random thing that literally flew in from the sky!
Events that happen on nature rarely have immediate and direct tangible interpretations on political policy, is what I'm getting at.
Testudo!
