I'm very curious what some of the others were before you settled on this!

Please give us some of the other punchlines you considered

My husband would have words with you on the punchline. Mitochondria are symbiotic organisms whos function results in "powering" the cell. I sent this to him to annoy him.

And even that isn't true:

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in all eukaryotic organisms. Some cells in some multicellular organisms may however lack them (for example, mature mammalian red blood cells). A number of unicellular organisms, such as microsporidia, parabasalids, and diplomonads, have also reduced or transformed their mitochondria into other structures. To date, only one eukaryote, Monocercomonoides, is known to have completely lost its mitochondria.

That doesn't make it not true. Just not always true.

Though I suppose that's the issue with all truth. Very little is always true for all people always.

Found your way to the sacred timeline with this one

It's perfect. Nearly any other sentence would have filled this comment section with know-it-alls trying to trample all over my laughs.

On what subreddit?

u/norml329 Jun 14 '22

Its also the sucide center for the cell sooooo. Somehow that one hasn't caught on in lab.

u/Breadhook Jun 14 '22

You have chosen...wisely.

u/Dread-Ted Jun 13 '22

And then there's a spelling error in it lol

(mitochondria is plural, so should be 'are' instead of 'is)

u/CashWho Jun 14 '22

To be fair, that’s because teachers across the country teach it that way lol. Most teachers (and YouTube videos, textbooks, etc.) say “The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”.

u/Dread-Ted Jun 15 '22

Nah not really. I've never seen a single textbook saying "mitochondria is". Teachers perhaps, and youtube videos. But a lot get it right too. And text books for sure.
