  Jellyfish are cnidrians which also include corals and sea anemones. Jellyfish are a specific lifecycle stage of medusozoans (their own subphylum), while corals and sea anemones are anthozoans (another subphylum of Cnidria).

  So yup, they are polyps before sexual maturity.

  There is a species of jellyfish which is functionally immortal. When they get too old they simply turn into children again and re-age.

    functionally immortal

    Biologically immortal is the term you were looking for

    • NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No, I meant functionally. As in practically. For all intents and purposes. As in under normal conditions.

      It’s like if I said “You meant ‘searching for’ and not ‘looking for’”, when looking indicates visual searching.

      In other words it’s a meaningless distinction in the usage and I would look like a real dickhead pedant if I insisted you use another word.

    What if they get eated

    • fsxylo@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Then they’ll be unfunctionally immortal.

      This is what I mean by functionally.

    Sort of like humans, but we turn into children again and die. Oh well.

  This graphic is going counterclockwise and I didn’t enjoy that. On the other hand, neat.

  • pyre@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I disagree, time should flow left to right and by the nature of the egg it starts with top-to-bottom. so you have to start on the left, go to the bottom, keep going right, then the jellyfish rises so go back to top and then complete the circle

    • Redfox8@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      But what came first? The jellyfish or the egg??!!

    If you change your orientation, this could still be clockwise

      Yep if I look at the back of my phone, instead of this, it is indeed!

  Jellyfish are creepy and gross, they’re like living sea mushrooms.

  • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Mushrooms are creepy and gross too, when you get to know them.

    source

    • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      fungi are conceptually lovecraftian horrors but in practice they’re basically just strange plants, and i find that neat.

      I hate mushrooms with a passion tbh, not just the way they taste, but even seeing them growing in the wild grosses me out. Disgusting things, I’d eat bugs before resorting to eating mushrooms.

    Nooo they’re so cool. I could watch them all day.

      Fair enough, they just creep me out for some reason lol.

  The proud moment in every jellyfish’s life when the buds come in.

  In stasis, it bends but won’t break us
  Aurelia, majestic as a lion’s roar embodies her
  Terranean, threaten and shield us
  Endanger, recoil and rewind the tapes
  She’s born again
  […]
  Medusa, a haunting allure
  Elusive ectoplasmic residue
  She’ll dance for you
  Inducing hydro-cosmic dreams in you
  Of eternal blue

    I’ve never read this, and I don’t know if it’s even a song or a poem or what… and yet somehow, I get the feeling that they’re lyrics to a TOOL song.

  Well, it’s wild, but there’s not a lot of fuck in it.

    Kinda fit, they have no fuck to give too.

  They also track sunlight so you can predict where they will be at certain times in areas with shade. Example: more likely to be closer to eastern shores in the mornings, further out at night.

    One species is immortal, and just does this cycle again when it gets old.

    the more you learn about how different species work the more your current worldview absolutely crumbles into dust and you see reality for the lawless mess that it is.

    Barnacles are crustaceans, if you slice one in half you see that it’s a fucked up deformed crayfish sitting inside the shell.
