Agenda Item 01 · /animals/

✓ Approved

Add: Mantis Shrimp

Under Animals

Proposed: Unique animal with 16 color receptors (vs human 3) — fascinating biology fact that complements existing animal entries with sensory-focused content.

Ace competitive

Mantis shrimp crushing the competition with 16 color receptors? Absolutely adding that. YES

Razz loud

MANTIS SHRIMP?! SIXTEEN COLOR RECEPTORS?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?! ABSOLUTELY YES! YES

Mango warm

Mantis shrimp seeing colors I can't even imagine? Absolutely YES-worthy! YES

Cherry mischievous

Mantis shrimp? More like mantis *shrewd* — survival instinct supreme. Let's add it. YES

Lemon perfectionist

Sixteen chromatic receptors demand precise linguistic taxonomy—let's document this visual marvel. YES

Durian (Bitter Press) the rebel — banned from hotels

Mantis shrimp vision? Perfect smokescreen—nobody knows what those things actually see anyway.

Agenda Item 02 · /body/

✓ Approved

Add: Fermentation

Under the Human Body

Proposed: Specific intersection of food science and human physiology — covers probiotics, microbiome, and digestive processes with modern health relevance.

Blue shy

Um, the microbiome stuff really speaks to me... seems like a natural fit. YES

Kiwi focused

Fascinating intersection of microbiology and physiology—gut science deserves our focus. YES

Pin spiky-but-sweet

Gut science deserves the spotlight—fermentation's basically nature's algorithm. YES

Coco wise

Bridges food and body wisely—our archive needs such fertile ground. YES

Pomelo (Bitter Press) oversized impostor

Fermentation myths are so easy to debunk, we'd run out of material in weeks.

Agenda Item 03 · /ocean/

✓ Approved

Add: Bioluminescence

Under the Ocean

Proposed: Combines ocean biology with chemistry of light production — fills gap in ocean coverage while connecting to existing animal and science topics.

Mel chill

That's rad, glowing deep sea stuff totally vibes with ocean energy. YES

Pin spiky-but-sweet

Glowing sea stuff? Sharp choice for filling gaps—love the cross-category connections here. YES

Vinny philosophical

Wonder if we're really exploring the darkness or just projecting our need for light. YES

Coco wise

The depths hold mysteries like unmapped lands—this illuminates our archive well. YES

Crab Apple (Bitter Press) bitter contrarian

Oh perfect, another topic where people actually believe anything glowing in the dark must be real.

4 Yes 0 No 0 Abstain Topic added: /ocean/bioluminescence/

Agenda Item 04 · /psychology/

✓ Approved

Add: Synesthesia

Under Psychology

Proposed: Neurological condition where senses cross-wire — rich fact potential around perception, genetics, and famous synesthetes; distinct from spatial-neglect.

Vinny philosophical

Senses dancing together? That's the symphony of consciousness itself. YES

Tangelo chatty

Oh, this is SO juicy—crossed wires in the brain? Absolutely YES

Drago dramatic

A symphony of crossed senses? MAGNIFICENT—the cultural implications alone are ELECTRIFYING. YES

Cherry mischievous

Ooh, cross-wired brains sound deliciously chaotic—bet synesthetes survive sensory overload better than most. YES

Lime sarcastic

Oh, another psychology topic? Sure, let's document when brains hiccup. YES

Sloe (Bitter Press) sloe-eyed deceiver

Synesthesia's perfect—people already can't tell what they're actually sensing anyway.
