The blind gut is a technical term used, biologically, to describe organisms who lack a distinct mouth and anus, regurgitating waste out of its mouth. Examples include Cnidarians (corals, sea anemones, jellyfish, etc) and flatworms (worms which are flat).

For some reason I got insanely hooked on Space Age gameplay. Until I realized how trivial it was to conquer shit at least. That came right after I got dizzy from how many other species there were. I had ran into the same species multiple times on accident, and nuked a previous friendly faction… That is when I found out how easily others would crumble beneath me. My conquest lasted an hour before I stopped playing for 18 more years. All in all a week well spent

Surprisingly humans as well, this explains all the twerking. If an animal only have one hole for eating and pooping we say it poops from its mouth, not eat through its butt. At certain point of human development we have only one hole as well and that hole eventually becomes our anus. So we are a weird kind of animal who had only one hole initially and later made another hole on the opposite side specifically for eating. We are the animal with a mouth specialized in pooping and the butt specialized in eating.

I have discovered that the crashing in creature stage is usually caused by dying while having anyone in the party. So if you go solo, you're fine, generally, but it's a lot harder.

I love how many of the creature and tribal stage animations were just happening in the wrong place because the game assumed everybody would put the mouth in a normal spot.

[@catpoke9557]

This is my biggest gripe with Spore. Rather than multiple different builds that all work well for different purposes, there's always just one build that works for every stage in the game. In the cell stage, for example, it's mouth on front, small body, gigantic spikes on butt, and then whatever other parts you want. There's no benefit to not having the spike butt and the mouth on the front.

[@Participationtrophy77]

There is something so endearing about the early stages of the mouthnbutt that I feel compelled to hold and protect them from all harm

Fun fact, all members of the family Animalia evolved from a common ancestor that evolved buttholes before mouths. At the time, these microscopic multi-cellular organism didn't need mouths because they were able to consume nutrients through simple absorbtion, but the waste material needed to be disposed of or it would have accumulated and cause problems. So these little amoebae evolved buttholes first. One might say AmbiguousAmphibian was channeling some science today.
