For the exact same reason people post links to other things, it's interesting. It's always been more "hacker" than "news" here.
Incidentally, check out this wacky alien-looking worm that exhibits bioluminescence even though it lives its entire life inside of a tube, so there is no one to perceive it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaetopterus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaetopterus
- dmbche 3y agoOh shit - cool worm!! Edit: Keep being weirded out that comments like this get downvoted. What's the point?

- ezconnect 3y agoIs this worm all over the world or there's a certain climate it can live on. Wikipedia doesn't expand on it.
