"I'm not going to eat clams because it almost looks like they have a mouth and tongue!


So I'm going to play it safe, just burgers and bacon for me from now on!"

"clams live in both salt and freshwater. That is also a foot, not a tongue. It's trying to move itself not eat"

I got like a bajillion upvotes on reddit for saying that, plus a handful of dumbasses saying "but gastropod means stomach foot".

facepalm

I don't mind seeing pics of old ladies' hairy, sagging vaginas, nor of dudes getting fisted up to the elbow

but this shit makes me

and I don't think I could ever get desensitized to it

EMCE

it's not that animals have tongues that's the issue. It's seeing what looks like JUST A GODDAMN MOUTH with nothing else attached to it moving around on a table. The shit looks FREAKY to me. One thing to see it in the ocean but quite another to see it alive and well on someone's kitchen table.

Am I the only one that watches this video and gets hungry? That shit looks delicious. I fucking love clams....and mussels, conchs, oysters, etc. Gimme!

I just realized this thread and video are the reasons I dreamed about diving for clams last night, and eating them.

That just means it's fresh!

that might mean you're subconsciously a lezbo ^^
or maybe consciously, which would render this point moot

It's still interesting as hell to see that though. It wasn't like I'm a big clam eater anyway

""This YouTube video of a clam "eating" salt is making the rounds on the Internet today, but we here at Business Insider wanted to know more, so we asked some researchers to take a look and let us know what they think. Here's the video for your reference: Researcher Hans Ulrick Riisgård, a marine biologist at the Marine Biological Research Centre in Denmark, said this clam isn't actually eating: "The poor clam on the kitchen table sticks out its muscular foot in a vain attempt to dig itself into the sediment where it normally lives," he said. "The salt on the table just sticks to the wet foot but is not eaten by the clam which is a suspension-feeder." Essentially, the poor clam is just trying to survive! Brian Bayne, a marine researcher from the University of Sydney agreed that this clam is definitely not feeding. "These clams live buried in mud and they get there by digging-in with a large, mobile foot (which looks convincingly like a tongue), he said. "This clam, stranded on someone's floor, is trying to dig itself back home." Clams like this actually feed by filtering small plant particles from the water using their gills, which are located inside the shell.""

i'm pretty sure they could have just used wikipedia instead of interviewing experts to figure that out.

Well now I'm sad for the clam and think the person/people who did this to him/her/it are assholes Fuck with bugs all you want but leave everything else alone, kkthx

7/12/2012 12:52:55 AM

^^appeal of authority.

7/12/2012 12:55:02 AM

Clams don't even have brains, there's no point in feeling sorry for it, it has no emotions.

So you're saying give it the ddd treatment?

Did you never take basic biology as a kid? I'm also going to guess you don't eat lobster anymore (or never did?)

lol I love the chip eating scallop!
