Your point stands undeniable though, he's dumb as shit. Ok, it bothered me so I looked it up, some are multicellular and some not. Some are 50 feet long or some shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae#Uses permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 12 points 2 months ago (1 child) Generally unrelated, but there's a type of algae (acetabularia) that looks like it should be multicellular, its a macroscopic "plant" with a clear if simple structure, with roots, a stem, and a mushroom cap looking plate on top. But, its actually a single celled organism, and unlike many other single celled organisms that are big enough to see, which often have multiple cell nuclei and effectively act like multiple cells just without the walls separating them, it only has one nucleus as well. Algae are weird. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 child) Hmmm I'm simultaneously elated and deeply disturbed that this thing exists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabularia permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago It doesn't help that cyanobacteria exist and are also referred as blue-green algae. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago Yeah I looked it up before posting, and although there are many common types of green algae, (many that are not single celled) the genus Desmodesmus or often clasified as Scenedesmus algae is said to be the single celled version here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valonia_ventricosa one of the largest known unicellular organisms! permalink fedilink source parent
