Planarian. Sounds like the perfect new Genesis AI starship (maybe that's what earth is ) scenario.
Adam HER-maphrodite split equals Adam and Eve. If they just hadn't eaten that fermented fruit from the tree, ah but that's the next worldorder religion to found upon. New calendar too. Can you imagine the expression on Adam's face when he head the Creator's next plan to create Eve? You're looking at a face that says it all. YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT.

How did they figure to feed it beef liver? I wouldn't imagine there are a lot of cows on the bottom of a pond, maybe mannatees. But I guess if nematodes like tapeworms eat cows from the inside out, why not other worms.
I wonder what exactly these guys eat in the wild. If I had to guess, living at the bottom of a pond, probably algae. They don't seem suited for hunting cows.

Imagine people with two abilities. One from the planarian and one from the immortal jellyfish. With those abilities, people can't die from injuries or aging, because they'll either regenerate or revert back to being young. This is the type of impossibility I wouldn't know could be possible.

OMG, it's name is so cute! It rhymes with buneary from pokemon. I think I should make a ghost-type convergent pokemon called, planeary. (Planarian plus Buneary, if you don't know what a convergent evolution is, called look it up)

its weird when i put it like this but havent humans basically lost the ability to regenerate nerve cells at the cost of retaining their memory? well at least thats how i look at it because idrk the details

I used to view these videos when I was younger, I didn't realize I was learning bits of information about stuff like the kingdom animalia, stem cells, and stuff. Thanks for helping me with biology

It's interesting to note there's a planarian called the hammerhead flatworm that has the same toxin in it as puffer fish have, tetrodotoxin. They're also an invasive species to the United States.

We had extinctions who wiped out 90 % of life on earth. I can't even imagine how many interesting forms of life existed and perished. All we see today is the result of the 10% who survived.

I now believe a conspiracy theory that at the beginning, there was only one Planaria, but gradually overtime after getting eaten and injured, it kept multiplying.

What happens if you get two handfuls of these flatworms and
Put em in a blender?
Would the worm mush just grow into thousands?

reply

I think as a natural adaptation. I suspect Nature rejected it for complex organisms because it probably leads to too much deformation.
reply

The Flat worm regenerates body parts that are driven by bioelectrical signals that tell it when to grow when to stop growing.

Planarians or rhabdocoela? I found these in my aquarium and keeps sticking on my snails. it has a round head
reply

If we can regrow our heads, and behead ourselves, will my new head still be me, consciously and mentally?
reply

So if you want a clone, your parents should chop you into pieces when you're in the Embryo phase?
Got it!
