Thanks for the link! This is really awesome.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Thank you, I came here to say the same thing. The problem isn't that we don't glow, it's the fact that our eyes suck.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also you are a flying squid and not a glowing squid, so its no wonder that we/you don't glow.
