They're only flat at the edges, like toasties, like those jackals.
That's what they remind me of.
I didn't understand that explanation, even though it was really good.
So you're saying it grows out of your tummy and then he keeps your original legs, but some new legs grow higher up your body.
And you've got no legs now, right?
You just said you grow new... If he goes right, you grow new legs.
Worms don't have legs.
Haven't thought this through, have you?
Oh, I thought, like, no curries or something.
The thing about the heads coming off and the new heads coming is the new heads have the same memories and we don't understand that.
So they tested this with planarian flatworms, a kind of flatworm.
They trained them up on a half on a rough surface, half on a smooth surface.
And then they got them to find food all on a rough surface.
And the ones who've been trained on a rough surface darted to the food because they like traveling on it.
The ones who've been raised on the smooth surface were like, oh, what's this rough surface?
Anyway, then they cut all the heads off.
And then when the new heads came back, the heads that had been raised on the rough surface remembered to be chill about the rough surface.
It's like a really complicated way of showing they have memories.
