I just 💚 them and think they're neat.

It's not Plants vs Zombies fanfic?

Are fan shirts available?

A disorder I'd like to develop.

I should steal some chloroplasts.

We might have seen the same video 😄

You can live in a symbiotic relationship with your company's break-room policy, but you can't become a host for workers of your own. It's really unfair.

Especially Ayn Rand.

I assume chloroplast is much more complex than fat and we do actually have fat within our body, while the slug doesn't naturally grow chloroplast.

It uses the chloroplast as the algae uses them. It doesn’t really it them it uses them to photosynthesize. If you took the wing off the chicken and used it to fly you could say that was stealing its wing

Am I “stealing” fat from the food I eat?

Yes you are and you need to be stopped.

I'd say, yes, you are literally consuming your food to take anything of value that your body can extract from it, often at the cost of everything for the thing you're eating (but definitely at the cost of the parts you eat). Like I'm a bit baffled as to how you can consider it not a form of theft. Hell, I'd even argue it is the purest form of theft there is and quite likely the original theft that only scavengers, photosynthesizers, and other life forms that survive on non-biological sources of energy aren't thieves in that manner.

Water/Grass is pretty good defensive typing as well.

Bees (and relatives) do it too. If you need to deal with a wasp nest or something like that, do it at night and their defense will be much less enthusiastic.

When I last dealt with some, knocking down the (small) nests would have a guard harass me until I moved about 10m away from the nest during the day. At night, it would just buzz me a bit before settling back down to rest without me even moving.

Note that I'm not saying it's safe to harass a nest/hive at night, just safer than doing it during the day. The ones I dealt with were small enough that I only ever saw a single guard plus one worker, and even during the day, sometimes I'd just fight the one guard instead of running, since it's hard for a single wasp to sting you if you can track it decently and manage any fear. Trying to deal with a large nest could still be fatal at night.

Next? Plantoids have been a thing for ages. And yea you can even be photosynthetic, makes your pops consume less food for more energy

Cmiiw don't corals keep the algae alive instead of just keeping the chloroplast?
