Pretty sure that’s a universal opinion.
I have one of these at home.
-
Damn there’s a 15” one
-
Yeah it never occurred to me that anyone might not think they're cute
-
I mean. They’re basically microscopic Flying Bison.
-
HOW have I not seen that before?

-
With a body like a vacuum cleaner bag & face that looks like a jacuzzi jet, they’re about as adorable as they come!
-
That's a really spot-on description.

No you are not definitely the only one

Aw relevant username

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Cute, little, brown lunch bag

I like how they're wrapped in paper

That's probably an artefact of the electron microscopy preparation. Irl they're translucent and they're even cuter when they move: https://www.shutterstock.com/cs/video/clip-1039663166-tardigrade-high-quality-footage-video-water-bear

i want a dog sized one as a domestic robot, and various tools can come from the torso bag as needed.
-
Put a hard hat on a star-nosed mole instead.. It may not be as useful as a robot, but it will look like it knows what it's doing.

Not enough legs
-
Nightmare fuel tho

Fucking hell, they are the most alien looking animals on the planet, they're amazing.
-
I mean, I don't disagree, but also let me introduce you to Centurio senex. Also quite alien-looking!

It's wild that the folds in their "skin" seem to have genuine creases even.

If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home || Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne? || Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn. || These are the things that I never will learn. ||
