A speculative evolution project that takes place inside a McDonald's cup
I stumbled upon this spec evo video and it reminded me of the weird stuff I'd come up with in middle school, and I mean that in a good way. This gets at the heart of what I like about conworlding as a standalone hobby, seeing people's rough and raw unfiltered imagination.
I think my only qualm is that he pretty quickly ignores the conceit of this being a microbiome inside a Micky D's cup, like there's not much done with the fact that the "land" is crystalized sugar and the "water" is soda or that photosynthesis and conventional vision shouldn't work in the dark. But again, the fact this is rough around the edges is part of why I like it.
