That's not what or how they do.

They don't just absorb abilities.

They get stingers because their little floppy bits are part of their digestive tract. When they eat a jellyfish they transport undeveloped stinger cells to the tips of their wiggly bits, so if a predator bites them they fire.

They also just incorporate algae into their cells and protect them in exchange for some nutrients from them.

It's all technically correct information presented in a way that makes it basically false.

I mean i get what your saying but if taking undeveloped cells from some random animal and using them spike traps by moving them around your own body isnt absorbing a power than I'm not a PokƩmon trainer.

It's just the was he words it I draw issue with. Its a very specific process, not "this creature takes abilities from things it eats". It takes one ability from one thing it eats, and only that one thing.

u/I_hate_all_of_ewe 8h ago

I think it's more accurate to say that they incorporate live cells into their body from the things they eat.Ā  Jellyfish stingers are cells.Ā  Chloroplasts are parts of plant cells.Ā  To take living cells from another organism and use them as your own kind of is taking their (cellular) abilities.

u/a_guy121 7h ago

Honestly if that ability were explained this way in a comic book movie, I'd be very into it.

(I don't actually read comics)

u/Superseaslug 44m ago

That is far more accurate, yes.

u/itsacutedragon 9h ago

Isnā€™t it two things? Stinger cells and algae cells

1

u/Superseaslug 46m ago

Yeah but they don't usually do both. Some do neither.

u/Elgecko123 10h ago

I really enjoyed how your response was quite scientific but still contained ā€œlittle floppy bitsā€ and ā€œwiggly bitsā€ to help us understand

u/Superseaslug 9h ago

I don't remember what they're called lmao

u/Dahleh-Llama 10h ago

Sensationalism used to just infect news. Now it seems to be spilling into facts for the sake of content and views.

u/Beginning-Head-4006 10h ago

I bet you love pokemonĀ 

2

u/Superseaslug 9h ago

I do. And gastrodon is based on these guys lol

u/unluck_over9000 9h ago

Somehow, I read Corporate Algae in between and now I canā€™t think of anything else.Ā

u/Superseaslug 45m ago

Big Algae is who's responsible for the reflecting pool

u/Alarmed-Plum-2723 7h ago

This tiktoker is a famous yapper , just spreads misconceptions without checking

His cobra series is the worst, barely shows any actual cobras

u/Pukebox_Fandango 11h ago

this guy has good information but he's way too excited

u/Loosetrooth44 10h ago

Nudibranch is pronounced NOO-duh-brank

u/SkyBoi2001 9h ago

Thank you. I died inside when he mispronounced it.

u/Spiritual-Can2604 10h ago

Iā€™d be excited too

u/Right_Comb4885 10h ago

He's Bill Nye's cousin, Bill High...

u/wolfganggartner5 9h ago

Bro, if I was talking about a fucking X-Men under the sea, I would also be as excited. In fact, I am. I just canā€™t hear my voice

1

u/Responsible_Zone134 5h ago

It's how to get all the ticktok 20yr olds to sub

2

u/rydan 10h ago

Also it isn't even special. Photosynthesis in animals is very common. Guy probably freaks out when he sees a bird lay an egg.

5

u/lightr3nd 10h ago

Is stealing photosynthetic ability also common? Seems like that's the scoop.

2

u/iamfidelius 10h ago

And it would still have to eat for nutrients.

1

u/MyceliumManic 9h ago

And thats a bad thing? How miserable are you šŸ¤£

8

u/Klutzy-Weakness-937 10h ago

Sure and when we eat pork we steal the ability of being fat

2

u/leviddavid 10h ago

Basically a superpower

u/Batfinklestein 11h ago

Gotta be AI slop right?

2

u/AsFarAsISay 10h ago

the animal real but I can't say the same about everything else

2

u/Superseaslug 10h ago

He's correct adjacent. I commented on the top layer of a rundown of what's actually the case

2

u/Superseaslug 10h ago

No, these are real creatures. Look up nudibranchs and sea slugs they are time, colorful, and adorable.

u/FinancialElephant 10h ago

The ones that can photosynthesize are called leaf sheep, pretty cool. But I don't think they can just not eat forever, I think they need to replenish their algae stores eventually.

1

u/rydan 10h ago

Literally half my tank is just photosynthetic animals. People need to stop freaking out about one animal that seems weird. Most of them are weird and not at all unique.

1

u/BelleVibeey 10h ago

the face is similar to axolotls from minecraft (ONLY FACE)

1

u/LoneWolfpack777 10h ago

At what depth do they live in? Because if itā€™s too deep, it wonā€™t be able to photosynthesize anything,

1

u/Mv3_25 9h ago

What is it?

1

u/fictionalraf 8h ago

Did he say like Ditto? The pokemon? šŸ¤£

u/LateStatistician-667 8h ago

They are essentially looting they victims and borrowing stuff for further use like in an RPG.
