  I read a science fiction story where the human crew lands on a planet populated by intelligent alligators. The alligators produce hundreds of babies at a time. The Queen invites the humans to dinner and offers them a stew made from her own offspring…

    How is that ever going to provide more energy than you put into it? That makes Matrix levels of sense.

      Just think how inefficient most of what we do is. Most of our modern society is based on indulgence or complex societal norms (very inefficient from an energy perspective!). It is frankly absurd to think we would do anything only based on its efficiency… Similarly, an intelligent alligator society may just eat their young out of fun or because of societal norms.

      I assume it would be a delicacy served for special occasions. Or a desert.

      Maybe it’s just a delicacy.

      Although the alligator has a heavy body and a slow metabolism, it is capable of short bursts of speed, especially in very short lunges. Alligators’ main prey are smaller animals they can kill and eat with a single bite. They may kill larger prey by grabbing it and dragging it into the water to drown. Alligators consume food that cannot be eaten in one bite
