It's owl face
I saw a giant sand sloth (two eyes and one nose) and can't unsee it 😅
I see it too lol
I was like who ai-generated they chihuahua into the worm scene? until I saw it just looks like that lol.
Yea. But why the picture is like.
( ° . • )
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I don't see how this thing could burrow into sand? It's sand, not flour.
It's the Sound they make and a phenomenon called Sand liquification . Basically it means that Vibrations and Air turn Sand in a liquid like state.
Ah, so that's the "drill".
Huh, that could actually work. Though unlikely at this scale
Maybe its quicksand with just the right density for worming.
The people run quick for quicksand tho.
Yes, my idea is that the sand is dense enough that anything lighter than a huge gigaton worm would not feel the fluidity. Like insects walking on water.
Anyway, I just searched it, thinking that someone else might have an idea, and it turns out that the biological explaination is that they're not worms, but legless lizards.
Maybe the sand is the opposite of a non-newtonian fluid, is solid at rest but becomes basically fluid with vibration
Though I imagine sand would naturally behave this way if it isn't packed too densely
I'm out of the loop with Dune news. Is the plan still that Dune Messiah will cover the second book (of the same name) and there'll be a Children of Dune TV show? Or am I just speaking fake news?
I think the Dune: Messiah movie is still in early development but the idea would be for it to cover the second book, yes. The TV show is based on one of Brian Herbert's prequel books about the origins of the Bene Gesserit 10,000 years prior to Dune 1
It puts the spice on its skin or it gets the worm again!
Would you ride me? I'd ride me.
I'd ride me so hard
I don't want to have a popcorn bucket 3-way :(
Fun fact. If you take the lid off one of those buckets and cut off the bottom of another, you and a bro can Eiffel tower a popcorn bucket. Like a Chinese finger trap..
The third person destroys the sacred intimacy of the bucket ritual.
Who Ronnie? Nah he's a cleanup guy. For some reason likes to take the buckets home. We don't ask. He just brings em back clean.
How? There's not really a single worm seen in the entire Dune: Messiah book. Seems like they're just going to deviate from the books even more than they did in part 2.
He already admitted that messiah kind of sucks from an adaptation standpoint. I personally agree. Maybe he's straight up rewriting parts of it? Will be interesting to see, I trust him though Mofo can't seem to miss
Great; more extended sequence CGI montages, coming to your nearest IMAX theater.
I'm good after 2 worm sessions. Thanks.
