    And yet when I give myself auto-brewery syndrome to keep myself permanently drunk people insist I have some kind of “serious medical problem”.

      You can live in a symbiotic relationship with your company’s break-room policy, but you can’t become a host for workers of your own. It’s really unfair.

    That is really cool!

    Also chlorotica does not mean what I thought it did

    I recently saw a vid about these things. Another interesting thing they can do is voluntary decapitation. The head can survive and grow new organs, possibly because photosynthesis gives them the energy to keep going and growing.

    “Stealing”? Am I “stealing” fat from the food I eat? Since when is retaining some components of what you consume equivalent to theft?

      Yes you are and you need to be stopped.

        I would have gotten away with it, too, if not for you mean cows

      It uses the chloroplast as the algae uses them. It doesn’t really it them it uses them to photosynthesize. If you took the wing off the chicken and used it to fly you could say that was stealing its wing

      I assume chloroplast is much more complex than fat and we do actually have fat within our body, while the slug doesn’t naturally grow chloroplast.

        Am I stealing chloroplasts when I eat a salad?

    I think the creators of Bioshock were correct to base the plot on seaslugs.
