POV:
You're at a gender reveal party and the couple tells you they've baked a cake to look like the baby's chromosomes. You expect X or Y.
They bring it out.
It is a circle.
Their child is an engineered strain of E. coli K12.
You are ecstatic.
Given the abundance of the kingdoms of life, we propose classifying Eukaryotes as "probacteria" to emphasize the fact that they are simply not bacteria.
Sometimes the microbe grows, sometimes the microbe sleeps. Why do you expect microbe to grow every time?Does microbe expect you to wake up at 6am every day? No! That's now how this works, buddy. The microbe can do what it wants, your OD readings be damned.
The vast majority of life on Earth is microbial and the largest reservoir of microbial life exists in the Earth's subsurface.
All bacteria and archaea are queer.
The vast majority of Earth life is queer and lives in rocks.
Happy pride.
