By ‘eldritch axolotl’ you just mean ‘regular axolotl’ because those things are all some kind of timeless god. This one came out looking a little phallic. I might just think that because my dick has external gills.
so i’ve been experimenting with ways to make the axolotls’ feeding less messy and i found these tiny candleholders that looked perfect but
i put food in one for moony and he keeps biting the sides and going all around it and he can’t figure out that the food is INSIDE
i think he thinks the food is underneath this mysterious new rock HE’S SO FRUSTRATED IT’S THE FUNNIEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN HE KEEPS LOOKING AT ME LIKE WTF IS THIS
How on earth would you feed a city of over 200,000 people when the land around you was a swampy lake? Seems like an impossible task, but the Aztec managed it by creating floating gardens known as chinampas, then they farmed them intensively.
These ingenious creations were built up from the lake bed by piling layers of mud, decaying vegetation and reeds. This was a great way of recycling waste from the capital city Tenochtitlan. Each garden was framed and held together by wooden poles bound by reeds and then anchored to the lake floor with finely pruned willow trees. The Aztecs also dredged mud from the base of the canals which both kept the waterways clear and rejuvenate the nutrient levels in the gardens.
A variety of crops were grown, most commonly maize or corn, beans, chillies, squash, tomatoes, edible greens such as quelite and amaranth. Colourful flowers were also grown, essential produce for religious festivals and ceremonies. Each plot was systematically planned, the effective use of seedbeds allowed continuous planting and harvesting of crops.
Between each garden was a canal which enabled canoe transport. Fish and birds populated the water and were an additional source of food. [x]
Today, where these awesome gardens used to grow, the water is polluted by fertilizers, sewage and tourist garbage. A supposedly more “primitive” people had a perfect self-sustaining system where modern people just dump their shit. Their literal shit.
The Aztec gardens once provided such a healthy environment for wildlife that the axolotl was an everyday staple of the Aztec diet. They were caught and eaten by the thousands and never dwindled.
Today, only a few are thought to exist in the wild anymore. Only a year ago they were almost declared extinct, until just two were found and released.
We may not even know what else already went completely extinct as modern society mowed everything down to make room for hotels and sports bars.
