Yes on religion.
100% ...... but thats the world we are in now ..... everything is exaggerated to push a point .... might be good points sometimes - might be horseshit other times
why would they stop at once if they thought it made them better in some way?
so are we sponges or mushrooms? .... ffs, make up your mindThe sponge is the earliest, most primitive multicelled animal, Sogin says. Some scientists believe the ability to grow different cell types started animals on the evolutionary road to becoming humans. With just a few kinds of cells, only loosely connected, the sponge manages to produce a variety of asymmetrical shapes, from cups and fans to tubes and piecrust shapes. Sponges survive handsomely on their own and can even shelter other sea creatures: Scientists found a large sponge in the Gulf of Mexico hosting 16,000 snapping shrimp and 1,000 other aquatic animals. The sponge’s cells, its calcium carbonate or glasslike silica spicules, and the mass of collagen that forms its visible body all create a network of tunnels and chambers, with little flailing hairs called cilia on the walls that wave the water through and filter out plankton and waste. No matter how large the sponge, it can eat only what its individual cells can absorb.
Sponges are also the earliest sexual reproducers; most are hermaphroditic, producing both eggs and sperm, which they release into the water. The sperm drift along until they find their way into the tunnels and caves of another sponge. But the sponge has other reproductive options. If you push one through a sieve, breaking free its individual cells, these cells will drift until they find each other, then stick together and create an exact genetic duplicate of the parent. If wounded, a sponge doesn’t need to grow new tissue; it simply moves old cells into the wound to close it. These techniques have helped sponges survive at least 500 million years. A few have remarkable capabilities. One, living in a Mediterranean underwater cave, traps small crustaceans with the sharp, glassy spikes jutting from its body, then surrounds them with its cells and digests them.

When microbiologist Mitchell Sogin decided to trace human evolution to its roots, he had no idea he might find sponges.www.discovermagazine.com
Incorrect @I’m a Cooker Baby…
F**k of merkin.
Dude, no one takes you seriously. Not even those you suck up to. It's the way you try to humiliate people for brownie points. You recognise this and that's why you're going out of your way to appear reasonable to others right now. You're a clown show. Have a beer and chill.
Gary seems to go off his rocker without beers. And I love my depression!
I’m off the beer at the moment. It’s bad for you.
Fair point. Beer me!
Not as much. Going to pack it in at the end of the year. It’s a f**king stupid habit.
i didn't watch the video, so i have no idea what he said
