Tricladida. This order of flatworms is made up of planarians, which are often used as a model organism

Polycladida. This order is made up of free-living marine flatworms, including the pseudoceros

Very strange flatworm.

Sometimes I remember that Planarians (flatworms) don’t feel real. They look like they were designed by a child right down to the goofy expression.

They can regenerate from being cut into the tiniest pieces imaginable (as little as 1/279th). Not to mention there was a whole series of experiments that would spilt their heads in two while keeping the body intact, just for the sake of creating two-headed flatworms.

And you’re telling me a 5 year old didn’t make this up?

Look at what they did to him!!

Also if you’re feeling especially mean you can fuck with the electrical patterns in their cells so that they regrow either a head or a tail in the wrong place. In case you wanted the world’s derpiest boomerang.

"planarian mentioned" ur just like me fr 🥹

I fucking love planarians, just the bestest little guys imo

Gipsoplanosphenodonology Gipsoplanosphenodonology (noun) | gip-suh-plah-noh-sfeh-noh-DAH-nuh-loh-jee |

The interdisciplinary study concerned with the behavior, physiology, and evolutionary adaptations of diverse, often underexplored species including nomadic human populations (gipsied), regenerative flatworms (planarians), and ancient reptiles such as the sphenodon (tuatara).

A specialized branch of zoological research focusing on the comparative analysis of environmental resilience, regenerative capabilities, and adaptation strategies across distinct biological domains, drawing parallels between organisms traditionally seen as unrelated.

Etymology: Derived from the fusion of "gipsy," "planarian," and "sphenodon," reflecting the scope of organisms and lifeforms studied in this field.

Introducing the Bio-Tech Revolution: Evolving Together with Gipsied Planarians and Sphenodon!

In a world where technology is merging with nature like never before, we bring you the next evolution of human potential: the Symbiosis 9X. Powered by the remarkable regenerative abilities of gipsied planarians and the ancient resilience of sphenodon, this cutting-edge biotech will redefine how we live, work, and adapt. Imagine harnessing the molecular magic of planarians, organisms that can regenerate entire body parts, and combining that with the indomitable survival traits of sphenodon, a species that has remained virtually unchanged for 200 million years. Together, these creatures are revolutionizing regenerative technology, turning sci-fi dreams into reality.

The Symbiosis 9X system uses bio-engineered planarian stem cells to regrow human tissue, while a proprietary sphenodon-derived algorithm safeguards your biological data, ensuring cellular integrity in even the harshest environments. Whether you're a deep-space miner, urban jungle-dweller, or simply seeking eternal youth, the fusion of gipsied and sphenodon tech ensures you not only survive but thrive. Forget obsolete surgeries and treatments—now, your body can regrow what’s lost, optimize itself for new challenges, and even anticipate future threats, all thanks to the inherent intelligence of these remarkable species.

Don't let your body remain a prisoner of outdated biology! Step into the future, where the limits of human capacity are shattered, and a new era of hybrid resilience awaits. The Symbiosis 9X isn’t just a product—it’s an evolution. Join us in rewriting the rules of life, where ancient creatures and modern technology meet to unlock an unstoppable, adaptable you!

I HATE (but don't direct it at anyone, or anything tangible) when there's a fish video on tumblr or the like, and there's the little speaker icon you can click for the sound. Of course no fish sounds play, I know fish sounds are elusive and most people on the platform don't have the equipment to record any of them. Sadly all you get, but to no fault of any one person or fish in the situation, you only hear chatter, words of endearment, the pump going BBBBMMMMMUMMMMMMM, or the bubbler going gurglegurgleblipgurgleblipblipblip. I KNOW WITH MY FULL CONSCIOUS that these are pretty much the onlly "fish sounds" the video will contain, but I'm still left wanting something more that nobody failed to provide, besides my mind which expects it somehow.

Hammerhead flatworm, Diversibipalium sp., Geoplanidae

Photographed in Singapore by budak

This species is native to Singapore where it was found and is NOT the invasive hammerhead flatworm found in part of the US. Comments about killing it will get you blocked.

The shape of lines can make a huge difference in how something feels.
