I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
This is wrong though. Like obviously it is an animal and no one debates its rough location in the tree of life. There are apparently ongoing discussions if it is a deuterostome or a more basal clade, but that isn’t what the meme is suggesting. Also, there are various described species of Xenoturbella, so you can distinguish them from each other.
And what about the lack of organs?? There is such a great diversity of single celled organisms out there that by definition lack organs (organs are a collection of tissues that serve a common function). So what is the point of even mentioning organs here? The person who wrote this really doesn’t know anything about biology or is trolling.
What species has “a clear reason to exist”? That’s a general question and has no particular connection to this group of animals.
This whole meme is just a desperate attempt to create exciting sounding content for social media without doing enough research.
Unlike humans which are super important and clearly exist for many reasons.
Its reason is to eat, shit, and procreate.
he’s just like me fr

So it has orgasms at least then
Ok you cannot just say “1 hole”. Is it 1 topological hole (aka the thing is a tube), or just 1 hole as the common sense definition (aka the thing is a sock)
It’s a sock:
Typically we say 3 holes. But that’s because we talking about yo mama
Fair enough.
However, your dad is a tube
Damn. You went for the throat! Well played friend
Yer ma’s a Klein bottle!
(im getting slaughtered in here now!)
Does this mean that tube socks are not, in fact, tubes?
If there is a second hole in the sock, does that change things?
I have a lot to consider now.
second hole
You mean the first hole
No, all socks have at least one hole in them.
I mean topologically no, since sock is equivalent to some flat surface.
And to your original question, when you put a hole in the sock, it does become a tube. And a tubr can be seen as a surface with one hole
Socks are just disks
You haven’t seen my socks
An organism with no organs? Wouldn’t that be an ism?
According to this points at entire world history, that’s one of the most dangerous things there is!
The etymological root that is organon means tool and the original usage of organism in English means an organized structure so the purest form of organism is a tool shed which does not need tools in it to be a tool shed.
Thanks for coming to my TedX talk on biological organization
The forbidden churro
Help someone, my vagina escaped!
Oh, there it is.
The ultimate lifeform
Nah, that’s just a strip of raw bacon.
Living churros hmmm
According to other comments, it is less a living churro and more a living jelly donut.
A JELLY DONUT!!?
IDK. It was the first single hole fried dough I thought of!
Wondered where that branch of the family went.
Trump voters. Are not allowed in the house.
So all it needs is breading and a deep fry? I say we rename it to Xenonuggetus.
I read it and immediately thought of Trump and a lot of others that exist for no reason but he was the first that came to mind.
