pictures of people who seem to have figured out how to live

Business Insider, smelling something fishy with the assumption that the clam was lapping up the salt, asked marine biologist Hans Ulrick Riisgård from the Marine Biological Research Centre in Denmark about what was really happening.

“The poor clam on the kitchen table sticks out its muscular foot in a vain attempt to dig itself into the sediment where it normally lives,” Riisgård told Business Insider. “The salt on the table just sticks to the wet foot but is not eaten by the clam which is a suspension-feeder.”

Another marine researcher from the University of Sydney, Brian Bayne, is reported as saying the clam is really just trying to survive.

“This clam, stranded on someone’s floor, is trying to dig itself back home.”

I had thought that something like that might be the case but was trying to be optimistic. PUT THE CLAM BACK IN THE OCEAN YOU DUMB PPL. Or eat it.
