they exploit various forces of nature and mobile creatures to
propogate, reproduce, & nourish themselves. They aren’t
wasteful and manage their resources optimally!

invented them - imagine my joy when I discovered that shoes
with wheels exist!

attention to expressions, gestures, and random motion in the
background
