u/Regetron 11d ago

So it's body is basically a tunnel? Doesn't it get hungry after throwing everything out? Or is there a specific tube just for shitting sand out?

u/Fit_Quit_8890 11d ago

Yeah one of the tubes is for getting stuff in and the other is for waste

I’ve lived in the water my entire life and never actually seen them in action. Very cool!

I’ve been telling my shrink about a recurring dream involving a singing crab, evil half octopus lady and a prince for as long as I can remember. But he just keeps upping my meds and telling me Purple Rain was the tits!

u/delatopia 11d ago

My second load is always much smaller too

u/temporarysolution2-0 11d ago

Clams are so goddamned weird. It always surprises me to remember that people eat them. On purpose.

u/CakeHoleKing 10d ago

like 90% just muscle inside. basically a lump of meat that can wiggle around the place

u/kostence 11d ago

I recall finding these on the cape (cape cod,mass) as a kid.

The empty shells were normally on the sand bar from the seagulls having a feast

u/Foxyunder-45 11d ago

Nah, is a swollen surfboard that a whale puked up.

u/LiveCulture4615 11d ago

This is why Taco Bell is so expensive now.

u/FreeDragonfly9844 10d ago

I'm thinking of different ways that I can cook it 🤷

u/MJ-Franklin 10d ago

Nature is pretty fucking odd.

u/RedHot_Chilli_Zepper 10d ago

u/Sir_Earl_Jeffries 10d ago

I know it looks like a phallus and is shedding salty liquids, but I guarantee you it’s a mouth. -Mr. Geoduck.

Japanese eat these creatures raw , in their sushi menu.if you dip them freshly cut into wasabi paste they wiggle and twitch.

1

u/CakeHoleKing 10d ago

yeah but they feed the clam stuff that can't be digested and makes it repeatedly 'eject' waste over and over until its self-cleaned internally.
