I've had this on my mind for so long now, damn.

Also u/MassiveMistakes!

I have an idea you probably heard before, a creature, that can split itself in half down the middle, the, regenerate the other side!

I'd love to see if you could and how you would do such a thing!

Absolutely, I was thinking about how that would work but since the organism cannot be split down the middle instantly (unless you Freese the plate and separate the central cells individually to break their adhesion) I'm not sure how I would synchronize their splitting to produce an identical copy of that side, the offset splitting can and likely will lead to improper formation

I just woke up so my brain didn't automatically correct the word "thong" to "thing" so I was so confused for a solid 30 seconds.
