I guess it depends on what kind of sponge, but I think in all likelihood since most sponges have no symmetry that this comes down to the same politics as an agender person choosing a bathroom.

Pretty sure from my B- in zoo that sponges eat from what amounts to our waste hole.
So you are supposed to piss in the punchbowl and drink from the toilette.

They are a single orifice kind of animal. Take a gulp of sea water, sift oit the goodies, and expel the rest
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah. ok. See what kind of biological insight a B- gets you?

Toilette du fromage.

What if you take off the costume? Humans aren’t entirely bilaterally symmetrical (at least not on the inside) and obviously not radially symmetrical so the paradox continues.

Is any animal perfectly bilaterally symmetrical?

Planaria?

Humans are definitely bilaterally symmetrical. Symmetry doesn’t have to be a perfect mirror image in biology.

TIL sponges don’t do punctuation.

Feel like a good sponge costume would allow you to pee right where you are.

I got the “Robert Sponge Rectangle Slacks” version from Spirit Halloween… but it doesn’t hold water when pissing myself :(

Should probably come with a warning about that. Pretty disappointing.
