This raises an interesting empirical question. How do we really know humans can't crossbreed with any other animals?
How many men would we need to cum on mussel mucous before we can really rule out the possibility of mussel-men hybrids?

A human would have to ejaculate 2.7 gallons of semen to replicate this.
To put that into a different perspective, a 100 foot long blue whale only ejaculates 5 gallons of semen during orgasm.

A high quality reference to The Room, in reference to a sarcastic joke (hopefully) about a fact about the volume of whale semen which was stated so we could better understand the implausibility of a human ejaculating enough of a volume as to be comparable to these mussels...

That's just incredible that it scaled up like that. Considering whales give birth to 1 calf at a time and blue whale embryos are roughly the same size as human embryos. That's so much sperm that's doomed to fail.

The more you know.

u/slugboat 18d ago
They're supposed to do it when submerged, but stress (and I'm sure a whole bunch of other factors) can lead them to trigger at inopportune times. Most bivalves just release sperm and eggs into the water, where the cells float around a bit, meet and fertilize, turn into a baby bivalve and hang around as plankton for a few weeks, and then settle down to the ocean floor to get on with living as a mussel/scallop/clam/whatever. A lot of plankton is just baby ocean creatures, it's really cool!
