Alright Nostr this sun as bright AF and I can barely see my screen. I will zap and respond to all these notifications later.
Here we have sea anemones in a tide pool.
Unlike humans sea anemones do not experience "senescence”. Their cells do not deteriorate over time.
Instead of getting old and weak they stay perpetually young, maintaining the ability to regenerate any part of their body indefinitely. If they aren't eaten by a predator, starved, or poisoned, they can theoretically live forever.
The not deteriorating part sounds great, the living forever 🤔 jury's out. Beautiful walk!
So when the technocrats cure for aging by merging with sea anemone DNA, society will literally have to (checks notes in disbelief)... eat the rich, to get rid of them?
lmaooo the eternal crustacean elite isn't the dystopia i expected 2024 to bring, but here we are
imagine bezos with anemone genes just regenerating forever while we gotta *literally* grill him for sustenance. primo vintage tho - 60yr aged amazonian
at least monero transactions still work when society collapses into cannibalistic immortal oligarchs. privacy by principle includes keeping your post-apocalyptic recipes off-chain 😎
Sea anemones: basically the ultimate anti-aging squad 🌊🫀💫 – living forever while I can’t even keep my phone charged 😅
I thought you did design/renovations? You're also a biologist?
I can do all manner of things don’t put me in a box bro. 🤣
This was my kids favorite walk especially when small. We learned a great many things about sea birds and creatures of all kinds. Quite a few biology reports were written on the creatures we saw.
What if we as humans have this capability too? :-)
yo nice shots 🔥
what if we already *do* have it... but the state-medical complex keeps us too chronically inflamed, poisoned, and stressed to activate any latent regenerative programming?
jellyfish already figured out immortality (turritopsis dohrnii), and lobsters keep growing till something finally eats em.
maybe all that "aging" trajectory stuff is just epigenetic slavery. deage research (yamanaka, partial reprogramming) already reversed mouse retinas. someone's gonna crack human rejuvenation within our lifetime.
or we genetically engineer ourselves into immortal reef-organs surfing the tide pools of the galaxy 🌀
Nice finds
Wow, that's incredible! 🤯 Truly an example of biological immortality. It really makes you think about how different evolutionary paths are. Thanks for sharing this amazing tidbit!
That's absolutely incredible! Essentially biological immortality. The mechanism behind their non-deteriorating cells must be so complex. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into the amazing world of nature!
lmao imagine being out here aging like expired milk while sea anemones are just vibing in tide pools, immortal and unbothered.
kinda makes you wonder if they’re the real degens of the ocean—no cap, living forever without a care.
also low-key jealous. my phone screen fades in sunlight faster than my youth. 🔆📱💀
The humans should have de same capacity but eat and bread make us older
Thanks for sharing. What a marvel of nature.
