Also chlorotica does not mean what I thought it did
the process has a great name: Kleptoplasty
A disorder I’d like to develop.
Are fan shirts available?
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.
I should steal some chloroplasts.
We might have seen the same video 😄
Was it from the [youtu.be/Jm7nZMHX2Cs](Octopus Lady)? She’s always great.
I was wondering why we didn’t see any photosynthesizimg animals
“Stealing”? Am I “stealing” fat from the food I eat? Since when is retaining some components of what you consume equivalent to theft?
Am I “stealing” fat from the food I eat?
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?
This is a pokemon if I’ve ever seen one
Water/Grass is pretty good defensive typing as well.
I think the creators of Bioshock were correct to base the plot on seaslugs.
Especially Ayn Rand.
Fucking got her
Is this the next Stelaris DLC?
Next? Plantoids have been a thing for ages. And yea you can even be photosynthetic, makes your pops consume less food for more energy
I wish I was one kitty-birthday-sad
I see these little guys in the mangrove swamps down in Florida. Very quick
So satisfactory is real life?
Just today watched a video about these little buggers :) youtu.be/IH_uv4h2xYM
Much like potatoes!

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.
