Coccolithophores!!!!
Jinxies
I love how the eye closeup looks like a terrifying forest with a black sun above.
IWasADrabLittleCrabOnce
#13 isn't chalk... they are coccolithophores, a phytoplankton which grows calcareous 'liths' (plate discs) around its body
Mercenarity
This could be a colorized closeup of natural chalk from calcite formations, which these things can be a part of.
SpiffDeWiff
This this this! They have such cool shapes! I think this one is Emiliana huxleyi, which I would love as a necklace pendant!

The human eye one is def a photoshop with some trees. These are BS

HillOfBeans
I love the macro/micro of Earth A crack in steel is like a crack in the earth. A drop of ocean looks like a mile of ocean.

I feel like the microcosmic world is way more fun with all those shapes, bright colors, and wild monsters.

Where's @OP's dick pic?

That is not caffeine

Could be a crystal, which had been digitally coloured afterwards

Dont forget microwaves and liposuction

Can you elaborate on that?
MayorMcWeed
When we recovered a crashed “flying saucer” at Roswell, New Mexico, we were able to salvage tech, like Velcro, lasers, and fiber optics.
Floppydiscpornstar
Not sure if you are this retarded, or making fun of people who are...
grantavius
I believe the socially acceptable term is now "dumb as fuck".

Stupid conspiracy. The truth is that lizard people from the center of the Earth gave us that tech. Get with the progran

I hate dust!
JarethCutestory
Like a trapper keeper I had once
sgv1
I don't think it's actually that color, but the shapes are interesting
jazzybear
Yeah, they're electron microscope images, so colour's added to make distinguishing different things easier
MegAwwMonster
That photo was colorized after the original exposure. The image from an electron microscope is grayscale.
codenameRadical
It looks like the 80s
ozjuggler
I was told household dust is mainly human skin cells. I suspect that's not a photo of household dust.
roguejuan
Dust looks like if I had a party I would definitely invite Dust over for its psychedelic colors.
IW42
I prefer dust2, personally.
OhhHaiMark
Especially at parties
PearjuiceATX
Sand is pretty neat too, and i think my cat would like a giant crocheted chalk particle

Ohhhh why'd you have to say crocheted. Now I have to do this.

I work on the ocean. This makes me very unhappy.

Okay but why can't you just say what it is instead of giving a number and making me count them just to look at what makes you feel uncomfort

Keep in mind some sea life reproduce by ejaculating into the water so it can carry its seed

That chalk make me uncomfortable. Why is it like that?
TwoFlower68
You're looking at the skeletons of algae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccolith). Loads of them together makes chalk
tugboatcaptain
Chalk rock (calcium carbonate), a pure form of limestone formed in warm, tropical seas about 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous Period
tugboatcaptain
when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth! Microscopic marine algae, called coccoliths, lived in the ancient sea. Their shells were made of calcite.
tugboatcaptain
As the algae died, their bodies sunk to the sea floor thus chalk sediment was deposited, so Chalk rock could be described as a "biological
tugboatcaptain
graveyard!" Over millions of years layers of chalk sediment were deposits caused by compaction of loose sediment into solid chalk rock.

I already don't like going in the ocean. This only solidifies that.
AnnieGitchYerGun
Me, too. I already struggle with the ocean after the ending to Pirrahna.
Rexli78
Piranha are fresh water fish and humans are more likely to prey on Piranha than vice versa.

Aah I wish that game was better than it is. Still a classic

Now you made me sad, when I remembered what it was going to be at first ...
OneVeryNiceDude
I absolutely loved spore when I was young. Played it again recently and found the controls incredibly awkward but the game was alright
JessTheMuthaFrickenMess
I was young when it came out so I was able to enjoy it for what it was. Sorry man.
