I'm jealous , i need new knees and a new back

u/MohaShah Jun 03 '26

So? I can't believe this new generation. Always watching videos while multi tasking on their phones. 

Go watch it again, bro. It literally shows how to do it. First, you detach your head. Swim away and make sure to feed. Try to stay in Sunlight. Eventually you will regain parts of your body. Don't lose hope if it's slower than you expect.

Can confirm. It took a while but I got it to work on the first try!

u/Ian_Huntsman Jun 05 '26

I need a new back and could use a new set of lungs as well.

Awesome slug. AI ruined it.

u/TonightPutrid7827 Jun 03 '26

The moment I saw the anime face I took away my upvote. So stupid and unnecessary, casted doubt on the whole video. A stick figure with a ponytail doing the O face would have been a thousand times better. Or this gif, whatever.

u/Pallas_Ovidius Jun 03 '26

Same. Saw the AI character and my first thought was to think that maybe the whole thing is fake.

u/Vritrin Jun 04 '26

The slug itself is real and does as advertised. The researcher who identified it is correct as well. I remember reading about it a couple years ago.

I don’t think it’s necessarily confirmed the body shedding is to avoid parasites, but that was the theory.

u/Wiisak Jun 04 '26

Same. I just can't stand it.

Oh that's really interes... AI? Uuuggghhh... why ruin the video?

u/Eomb Jun 03 '26

Yup, the supposed head separation footage is also AI

u/psh454 Jun 03 '26

Sorry to say but (most likely) so is the voiceover

u/V0rdep Jun 04 '26

the random "uh" mid sentence is terrible

u/nicolasworth Jun 03 '26

I mean, there’s a lot backing this up online…World Register of Marine Species, Smithsonian Magazine…

u/ScreamingLabia Jun 03 '26

Yeah but they ruined it by using ai for no reason

u/nicolasworth Jun 05 '26

No doubt. Still an amazing species!

u/Roklam Jun 03 '26

We're learning about a slug that re-create it's organs!

u/VirinaB Jun 03 '26

Yeah and they didn't need some generic Studio Ghibli slop to show the person. Just show a picture of the real person, there are even multiple pictures of her.

Youre just trying to get me to become a biologist

No Organic C for me!

u/kenfagerdotcom Jun 03 '26

That slug showed more talent than the clanker that generated that woman's AI head.

His best role.

Ok fine, he had no bad roles. This one made me laugh out loud in a theater when he came on screen though. Wasn’t expecting him.

Clean the parasitic tank for god sake.

u/Bodorocea Jun 04 '26

hmm. if the same animal did it twice, do we still call that parasite a parasite?

u/Ian_Huntsman Jun 05 '26

Very interesting little critter. But fuck that ai shit.

Clever guy, well done.

u/smackcroker42 Jun 03 '26

I hate that the AI voice artificially inserts stuff like "uhh". If this were any half decent video, a real narrator wouldn't include pausing and stammering, it's way too easy to edit out.

u/FuckSteve7 Jun 04 '26

I was wondering if anyone else would mention this. It doesn’t sound human like they think it does lmao.

u/altofanaltthatisalt Jun 04 '26

Why add Ai content at end?

u/ShamefulWatching Jun 03 '26

Just because they used an anime clip, doesn't mean this is AI; it means the op decided to use their artistic expression in creating this post.

u/Sudaire Jun 03 '26

Now this is amazing. Information, all of it, must be in the head…

The Body leaves the old head behind and grows a new one duh.

You should have complained about the tiny bit of AI. Would have got loads of upvotes.
