Hydra, eh? According to the web, hydra are "virtually immortal" in a lab environment. On the other hand, though I've heard lobsters could be immortal, the web (which obviously is the only true source of info, wink wink) says it's a myth, eventually the lobster will die "from exhaustion during a moult." However I know they can live a long long time, many animals can easily out live humans.
Interesting stuff, thanks for the comments.
Oh ffs. I swear to god we don't deserve the internet. I literally pointed out that lobsters do die. The reason we can consider em immortal is cos they clean up their telomere damage. You colossal idiot. You're trying to trip me up and "expose" me, but you can't even get the fundamentals right...
I'm not trying to do any such thing and I am undeserving of colossal anger as a response. You have severe emotional issues if you can't listen to another person's contributions without feeling somehow "attacked" by them.
And just so you know, though I doubt you'll be capable of understanding it, and "idiot" is a dirty mongrel who tries to make others look bad so he can look better by comparison. And you never can look better, because you can't even get the fundamentals of behaving like a human being right.....go fuck yourself, you vile stupid idiot bastard!
Oh go to hell. You deserve no salvation. I have "severe emotional issues" cos you're an idiot? I'll live. Bar Christ, this is what you're reduced to? I expected more out of those who left Reddit... Like, are you for real...?
