Flarian meme:
Spunj with badly photoshopped fins and flippers
"Sessiles are cute. Flippers[1] are cute. Why is this not cute?!"

As noted earlier, harm to creches and sessiles gets a lot more media attention and horror than harm to individual adults. My friend Tea has pointed out that their sessile stage is probably peak adorable[2] to them on a biological level.
Adoption of adolescents shortly after emerging from the sea is also biologically important, so aquatic features would be a kind of cute neoteny, something usually grown out of in adulthood. Some flarians grow fins, some have webbed digits, some have full flippers; and the majority grow out of these traits within a few years on land.

Recently I had a deep and long discussion with a teenager that touched several unrelated topics such as photosynthesis, human (mind) evolution, and the consistency of laws of physics in our universe.
First of all, this kind of talk I will choose over the "small talk" any day. It was awesome.

Secondly, the discussion encouraged me to refresh my knowledge and even learn new things. I got to browsing.

Thus I have learned (or remembered - difficult to say now) that even plants with red leaves have normal green chloroplasts. Just with additional red pigment anthocyanin that supposedly help plants to protect against harsh sun.

Also, I have (re)learned about neoteny in humans. Wow. This thing explains a lot!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny_in_humans
It seems neoteny was (and perhaps still is) one of the major factors of quick and powerful evolution of human brains and high thinking, and thus human civilization.

I should probably look up for the theories of "consistent laws" of the universe next...
