A unicellular organism from the Phacus genus. It uses an eyespot-like photoreceptor and a flagellum on the front of its leaf-shaped body to navigate toward light sources.
“the moon is made of cheese” is obviously a myth, but over-exploitation of the moon’s natural resources led to a catastrophic depletion in cheese deposits so now what little cheese remains is of low-quality and next to impossible to extract
also most of the moon cheese you see for sale these days is artificial; if you read the fine print, it’s “produced under moon-like conditions”
authentic lunar cheese is incredibly expensive ever since legal harvesting was outlawed in the 1990’s to allow cheese deposits to recover, but the black market demand has ravaged what’s left—illicit cheese harvesting is incredibly dangerous and something like 4 out of 9 cheese smugglers actually die within three years of taking up the trade
part of the reason the moon cheese ecosystem collapsed is because of anthropogenic contamination of near-surface milk aquifers (milkifers) in the 1970’s. insufficient decontamination methods used on cheese harvesting equipment and spacecraft resulted in the introduction of terrestrial bacterial species that displaced, out-competed, or directly killed huge swaths of the indigenous bacteria, slowing the lactification process tremendously.
further degradation occurred due to large mining operations disrupting rennet mole habitat and migration routes; as many moles were unable to access their traditional whelping basins, populations became isolated and suffered genetic bottlenecking that decreased overall fitness, litter size, and rennet production in most remaining populations. efforts to expand the gene pool by reintroducing captive-raised rennet moles have been met with some success; due to slow maturation, rennet mole studies have not been done beyond F5 generations to assess long-term population stability.
the scientific community mourns the tragic passing of our respected colleague, premier moon cheese researcher and conservationist Dr. Nadia Ardavan, found dead from a head wound at her field station on September 14, 2020. Dr. Ardavan was an outspoken proponent of moon restoration efforts and a self-professed “rabble-rouser” who frequently found herself butting heads with corporate interests. investigators found evidence of a struggle; foul-play is suspected in Dr. Ardavan’s untimely death. she is survived by her sons, Cosmo “Bullrush” Ardavan-Mackenzie and Caligula Ardavan-Jalaqua, and her widow, Dr. Miriam Jalaqua. Dr. Jalaqua requests that donations be made in honor of Dr. Ardavan’s life and works to the Rennet Mole Conservancy.
british colonizers destroying centuries of moon ecology
Why not just harvest the other moons? There is more then one moon in the galaxy just saying.
Only Earth’s moon, Luna, produces cheese. It is unlikely that other moons within our Solar System have conditions favorable to creating cheese deposits on a geologically noteworthy scale.
Emerging evidence suggests that the layer of ubiquitous red dust covering the surface of Mars is actually paprika–the desiccated, pulverized residue of a primordial Capsicumious Period. Ancient jungles of pepper once covered the Red Planet’s surface in a lush carpet of dense vegetation. Unlike the widely extolled moon cheese, Martian paprika is generally considered of vastly inferior quality to fresh paprika made from Earth peppers.Â
Does that mean Europa is a soup? It gets blasted by a large amount of radiation so I assume that means it always in a microwave. I am really interested and am considering studying the other moons, and our own, to see if they could be used for future emergency food reserves.
Unfortunately not; only Earth’s moon has been proven to produce edible foodstuffs (Martian paprika is pending FDA approval and is unlikely to pass). There is, however, a recently-discovered exoplanet, colloquially known as “The Meat Planet”, described here:
The Meat Planet may be too far away for humanity to visit (or taste) in the foreseeable future, but some scientists hypothesize that Uranus may be edible, though bacterial contamination of acquired samples makes experimentation inadvisable.Â
This is fucking stupid, the Moon is NOT made of cheese, cheese is processed from Milk that you get from Cows or Goats. Neither abimal existed when Rocks formed in space
The Moon isn’t “made” of cheese any more than Earth is “made” of soil–it’s something that’s produced through natural processes similar (but not identical to) the cheese we get from cows and goats. We are still unsure whether the Moon’s milk deposits were there when Luna was formed or if they arrived later; it is possible that lipid-rich asteroids first brought the building blocks of dairy onto the lunar surface and infused the crust and mantle with the chemical components that would ultimately lead to the synthesis of groundmilk and the eventual formation of moon cheese.
So wait, I might actually get to eat Uranus?
Theoretically, and with proper decontamination measures.
