photosynthesis?
We require too much power for it to suffice alone, but it would be nice to have as a hybrid source of energy!
Someone did the math for photosynthetic cows and they would only get about 1% of their energy requirement. It’s not viable.
Cows farm out their photosynthesis to things that have far more surface area than they do.
What about symbiosis with algae
It’d be nice to have one big leaf on my back that I could use for shade and a snack. Doubles as an umbrella for rain.
Have you considered just carrying a big leaf around?
Looks like the caterpillars have found their way to Lemmy…
