My Pet Clam’s Only Trick: Eating Salt [Video]

By ( ) Comments

A clam’s no pet, they said. Get a pet rock, they said. Well, the joke’s on them! Wonder Clam can eat salt all day and all night! Next, she’ll learn “shake hands” and before you know it, she’ll be catching frisbees and jumping through hoops. Soon, she’ll be doing a victory lap in front of the judges after she’s named “Clam-of-Show.” They’ll see who’s laughing then. That’ll show ‘em. That’ll show ‘em all!

    Salt water is 3.5% salt.

    Salt is 100% salt. 

    Go home, make a 3.5% salt solution and wash out your eyes with it. Then, take some pure, dry salt and rub it across your eyeballs. Then get back to us with your results.

    Au contraire, non touché. Logic fail.
    Who says a clam’s “foot” is comparable to a mammalian eyeball? It would be pretty uncomfortable if I used my eye to say… dig through sand, but I don’t think that’s a problem for clams. It is in fact a basic part of clam life. Also, we have, uh, “clammy” parts that are totally unharmed by pure salt. If you insist on using human parts for comparison (again: not clear that’s even legit), why is it better to use an eyeball and not… a tongue?Not that I’m some clam expert, I’m just saying: this logic blows. If you have specific knowledge that pure salt is somehow instantly torturously harmful to clams, then just SAY SO instead of using bad analogies and a snarky tone.(Nice way of saying: If you don’t actually know wtf you’re talking about, and your logic skills aren’t all that great, maybe be a liiittle less confident in your assumptions and maybe tone down the tone? Especially when you’re assuming someone you’ve never even met is a patholocial jerkhole. Yknow, unless it gets in the way of feeling superior.)
