YMMV / Thrive

• Aluminium Christmas Trees: Oxytoxin is a real compound, except it is made in some spiders, rather than microbes.
• Ascended Meme: The "Disco Nucleus" meme became an actual example mod made by Hhyrylainen (currently the only full-time staff member of Revolutionary Games Studios ry) himself.
• Dummied Out: Dozens of things were cut in past development eons, too much to count, and it may never see the light of day.
• Memetic Mutation: Even in its current state, there are a number of inside jokes, due to it being around for so long. Examples include:
  • Nike Meat Shoe
  • Blue Cells
  • Disco Nucleus
  • Thrivium Cryptocurrency
  • O G R E V O R T E X
  • Belgium
  • Disturbed
  • "Thrive will take forever to finish"
  • Alien Thirv
  • Uteen
  • R.I.P. Hexagon Cells
  • J Rod
  • Banana Biome
  • Smeltal da Meltal!
  • March 9th does not exist.
• Spiritual Successor: To Spore, or at least it was this originally. Nowadays, it is something much, much more ambitious.
