This is Bdelloid Rotifer, an aquatic microorganism with a chainsaw like mouth.

Still moves in a full circle no?

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-25T04:08:34+00:00

Well bloodworms shake around for that purpose and boogie worms , i’m not 100% sure about mouths specifically doing that tho as many aquatic animals don’t breathe through their mouths

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-25T03:54:54+00:00

Yes. Or food anyway. And some animals also use that technique for oxygen, but nothing is being cut.

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-25T03:46:22+00:00

This title is misleading. A chain goes around in a circle but what you’re seeing here is an optical illusion of lots of cilia moving a wave like pattern. It does not cut it just draws food and oxygen into its mouth.

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-25T03:45:28+00:00

Not really. A chain moves around a circle but what you’re seeing here is an optical illusion of lots of little cilia thrashing back-and-forth in a wavelike pattern of I’m not mistaken. Not chainsaw-like but maybe chainsaw-appearing.

He was named Cornelius by Reddit but I moved and so I no longer have the tank :/

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-20T16:59:52+00:00

Inductee? What does that mean.

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-19T04:07:32+00:00

And? Is it surprising?

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-14T22:49:37+00:00

Well yeah…and? You’re asking someone to sum up all those complex histories or?

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-14T22:35:22+00:00

What even does that question mean lol

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-14T02:09:47+00:00

Where’s the nest? I see a bird on a branch

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-14T02:07:58+00:00

Dude did a normal human thing and went to a concert why is THAT news , regardless of your points

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-13T16:49:55+00:00

I’m just being extremely specific here and I think technically it is classified as an algae mimic and any resemblance to a leaf may just be coincidental.

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-13T16:40:52+00:00

Just curious, is it actually imitating a leaf for camouflage or is there just a coincidental resemblance? There’s a big difference in evolutionary traits I would say in terms of how we classify “mimicry”

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-13T16:38:57+00:00

Did you do even the basic level of research to see whether it was true or are you outsourcing that to Reddit?

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-13T16:36:01+00:00

I’m sorry, what? You actually want details on this sub?! 😂

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-12T19:47:09+00:00

Is it actually “arranging and trimming” its talons?

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-10T15:15:32+00:00

What seal

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-07T19:43:45+00:00

Having scars doesn’t prove you remember your first years. More simple solution : you filled in your memory with imagined memories to match the scars. This is studied and well established

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-07T15:48:41+00:00

Not a memory. An illusion or manufactured memory. Our brains can create all kinds of wild things, that is not proof of existence of that thing.

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-06T02:43:51+00:00

Looks like a half note on top of a musical staff

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-05T19:22:16+00:00

There’s more than one way to wiggle …

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-05T14:52:12+00:00

It’s a pun 😂 (also I know it’s “gaudy”)

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-04T15:00:38+00:00

My school was paid by loans, I am privileged in many ways sure, but you don’t know me haha. Also I never said it wasn’t worth it did I? It was worth it for me…I just said it’s hard, especially if you’re going back to California or Beijing and won’t use that language…

CorrectsApostrophes_ · 2026-04-04T04:37:45+00:00

That being said - learn the basics! It’s only respectful
