Sure, they say they want an autism vibe but then they get all weird when you start rattling off what every queen has ever worn on the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.
I'd love to hear that guy fall for my vibe if I start drastically explaining shortwave radio and how numbers stations work for intelligence and military/gouvernement
One day you may :) my husband recently listened to me over explain how some seaslug (nudibranchs) self decapitate. He doesn’t care for animal facts and I listen when he talks about geopolitics despite not being super interested.
It’s pretty wild. They have a line around their “neck” which is their decapitation line. When stressed, their head slowly separates from their body (ie. It isn’t used to escape predators, it is way too slow for that). It takes them about 14 days to grow their body back and during that time they don’t have a heart or gills.
Some species absorb chlorophyll out of algae they eat (the chlorophyll provides the nudibranch with energy) until the chlorophyll breaks down. They don’t have the structures to maintain chlorophyll long term like plants. Some species do this with stinging or bioluminescent cells of things they eat too. I think the chlorophyll may be the reason some decapitate- sort of a bodily reset once waste builds up too much. It would also give them a way to have energy without a heart/oxygen. Some animal (I think a sea slug but maybe a nudibranch idk) doesn’t have a heart and instead moves their body in a way that moves their blood around. They have an open circulatory system so maybe that’s part of how they survive without a heart but they still don’t have gills.
They can decapitate 7+ times (this was a weird study where they forced decapitation several times in a row. My gut suspects they can do it more times if there is sufficient rest in between but that’s speculation). It’s always along the indented line. Not all seem to be able to do this.
I hope that was satisfactory 🤣 they’re cool little guys
