Day 23: Silly brittish currency!

Shoggoth actually smells like smelly socks now. And looks tasty...
Added soft drink droplets into cthun out of boredom.

I might need bananas because they take long to digest, because shoggoth is dissolving food way too fast now, and even worse, When i put in water it dissapears within 12 hours, i need a camera to record this. Its like kweeksel all over again... Its time for a little experiment.
The same coin experiment that i did with Kweeksel, which moved the coin.

Im dropping in the first coin.
A brittish two pence coin, seeing how worthless they are.








As you can see, the coin is already sinking. So much for the english currency, by the time i posted this, it was at the bottom of the jar, so luckily i can still see it. A bit. A little white circle is forming around the coin, and it's just 10 minutes in.
10 MINUTES.

  1. I wonder when Shoggoth will go self-sustaining. The goo would have to be able to crawl or put out a smell to attract food in order to survive in the wild at this point.

    On another topic, I hear some 16-year old discoverd some bacteria that was able to digest plastic. He took a sample from a landfill, isolated it for weeks feeding it only plastic bags until only the plastic eating strains survived. They could feed off of a single plastic bag for months. There is a lot of plastic in this world with no competetion for it as a food source. A strain like that could exlode in population over the course of a very few years if left unchecked. Now imagine if that strain could eat organic matter as well.

  2. Would it be an idea to fead it like Snake food, Lice mice and shit, not living ofcourse.

  3. This may be poking holes into the entire project, but why would people assume it would become alive? It woudl be a habitat in which bacteria survive, but the thing itself wont come to life magically somehow.
    I do enjoy reading this, but like I said, its not going to come to life.

  4. Well, it isn't so much that it will "come alive" in the sense of one living organism. As it stands now, the specimen is alive as a colony of bacteria. The expectation doesn't extend much farther than that. You may have taken the term crawl literally. What was meant was actually more similar to 'creep' so that, if left in the wild, the bacteria would spread; growing and appearing to move as the food source behind it was consumed. Otherwise, for the colony to survive while stationary, it would have to attract food to itself or the bacteria would starve to death.
