In a year, one large parrotfish can produce 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of sand, the weight of a baby grand piano.

Most of the sand comes from waves sloshing onto rocks though, right? right?

most of the sand is eroded inland and deposited by rivers

Thank fuck for that!

I had never thought about the reproductive cycles of grand pianos, fascinating

Oh, thank you. 🤗
I’m trying to carve out a little niche for myself. Glad to find you in that niche. 🖐️🤓

Definitely should have been "live off coral".

[-] CustardFist@feddit.nl 16 points 2 weeks ago

Dammit. I always make that mistake. 😣
The grammar checker also shrugs at this. 🤷‍♂️

I laughed a little too hard at this, because I just don’t love the beach. Felt like I should send it to my friends who are beach nuts, but looked down at my toast with honey I was eating and realized how much we enjoy things that are made by the excretion of other creatures.
