How many animals have we ground up and put through a sieve into salt water to be this confident about it being the only animal that can do this? I need sources.
basically tiny worms, often shorter than a few milimeters. it’s the name for a whole group of different species, so some are microscopic while some can be several cm long

I think there’s nematodes that we’ve blended up before, but instead you get a bunch of nematodes instead of just one.

“… Why?”
“… sssssscience?”
“Holy shit, they’re all functioning individually!”
“Oh, thank fu- I mean, yeah, that’s what I was testing for. …Do we have any dogs?”
“…”
I mean, enough that manufacturing of homogenizers is a thing. https://improbable.com/2021/05/13/shakespeare-and-the-whole-mouse-homogenizer/?amp=1
is this the biologist’s equivalent of “assume a flat, frictionless plane”
Assume A Perfectly Homogeneous Liquid Mouse
now that’s what i call molecular biology!
I shouldn’t have asked for sources…
I’m trying with a dog now, the hamster and the cat didn’t work…
Ed… ward…
No…
