They're not friggin planarians

At first, I thought you meant planetars (from D&D), and I didn't know about that piece of trivia and felt inferior as a nerd.

But no, you really meant planarians (from reality), which is a science word and I now feel inferior because I am a moron.

Planarians are flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) found in freshwater bodies and their regenerative abilities have been documented for centuries (Pallas, 1766; Dalyell, 1814). Planarians can regenerate new heads, tails, sides, or entire organisms from small body fragments in a process taking days to weeks.

Friend, you're not a moron just cause you didn't know about some relatively unknown aquatic creature. You just got out-nerded this time 😎

The really weird part is that I actually did know.

What I don’t know is when, where, or how I got that information.

Are you the alt domain for the person I was talking to or someone random injecting themself in the conversation? Either way I'm happy you acquired knowledge at some point in the past

I'd love to help you with your question, but I have no idea.

[–] mossy_ 4 points 11 months ago

Thank you for trying. Frankly, what would an internet forum be without random interjections from persons with no stake in a conversation.

Just a random, opining on random esoteric knowledge gaining.

Many of us did know from like Middle or High school or some part of our education, but who would have thought you need to think about school to understand Lemmy

It’s called the wolverine effect, I can’t remember where I learned that ironically.

We all know what a wolverine is, but can you tell me where you learned it from?

It probably has a fancy name like “memory source origin amnesia” or something, but it basically goes along the lines of your brain not remembering where you learned something, you just remember the thing.

It’s why propaganda is so effective even on people looking for it.
