- dumbfoundded 6y agoDo you also think spaghetti looks like worms?
- troymc 6y agoVermicelli translates loosely to "little worms."
- africanboy 6y agothey do not, because that's not what their name means spaghetti = little strings vermicelli = tiny worms
- Iwan-Zotow 6y agoWhere do you think vermi in vermichelli came from?
- troymc 6y agoIt looks like waterfalls, hence the name: cascatelli.
- accrual 6y agoUnsurprisingly the sea slug uses its ruffles for the same purpose of increasing surface area [0], albeit for photosynthesis instead of sauce carrying: > This slug, like other Sacoglossa uses kleptoplasty, a process in which the slug absorbs chloroplasts from the algae it eats, and uses "stolen" cells to photosynthesize sugars. The ruffles of the lettuce sea slug increase the slug's surface area, allowing the cells to absorb more light.

- yellowapple 6y agoI'm suddenly curious how sea slugs would taste with some marinara.
- mycologos 6y agoThis is counterintuitive to me -- if more surface area means more light absorbed, why are solar panels flat instead of ruffled? Or are they not as flat as they look?
- kortex 6y agoNot gonna lie, it looks delicious but has kind of an H.R. Giger vibe. The pasta. Not the sea slug. Though all sea slugs looks like they were made during evolution's goth phase.
