Fun Definitely Not Made Up Fact: The sea-stars that you find on the beach are actually the disembodied heads sent out like probes by one mega-mother-sea-star that sits miles away at the bottom of the ocean, biding her time until she can finally resurface and enslave whats left of humanity.

Romantically speaking, aren't we all just genitals with attached life support?

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Sea stars? Is this a new name for starfish?

[-] psud@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, it is another name for a starfish

Same with jellyfish, crawfish, and to a lesser extent sea gulls. Now jellies, crawdads, gulls (they are not all by the sea).

A ton of birds are about to be renamed too, they are renaming all birds named after people.

Ah yes. Seastars, the vacuum cleaners of the ocean.

This has to be the work of an enemy stand.
