This is Horseshoe crab blood and it saves lives 7 comments
under_fire · 4 years ago
"The most obviously unusual aspect of crab blood is that it is bright blue, a consequence of using copper-based hemocyanin to transport oxygen where vertebrates use iron in hemoglobin. Instead of white blood cells to fight infection, many invertebrates have amebocytes, and Atlantic horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) have evolved these to such a peak of refinement that they are of enormous medical value.
Horseshoe crab amebocytes coagulate around as little as one part in a trillion of bacterial contamination. Even better, the reaction takes 45 minutes, not two days as with mammalian equivalents. Coagulan, the chemical that makes this possible, is used for testing medical equipment and vaccines prior to use, without which many more people would die from infections." - iflscience,com/plants-and-animals/how-horseshoe-crab-blood-saves-millions-lives/

pro tip: don't search "tato art" on google or youll get furry fetish porn. I did the digging, and if you want more non-furry non-fetish sci fi art, it's here: facebook.com/TartoHerrera/

i personally liked the clash of the titans movie. I don't think it was exactly accurate to the stories, but entertaining nonetheless

You can't be buried alive accidentally, in first world countries. And yeah, you probably wouldn't survive being buried alive either.

just think, there are rooms like this around the world filled with more expensive things than you'll ever see in your lifetime. People in 1000 years might dig up a garage filled with brand new gaming pcs and laptops
