    Fun fact I like to share with everyone who enjoys shrimp. Up until the 90s 80s they were very difficult to breed in captivity. They just wouldn’t reproduce.

    Until someone figured out that it you cut out one of their eyes, they will readily breed. Nobody really knows why, but they snip off one of the eye stalks on the females to get them to breed.

        The fear of death does tend to make creatures want to reproduce.

        It is fucked though.

          That’s not it actually. Current theory is it has something to do with the overall decreased sensation of sunlight indicating it’s mating season or something. They won’t develop mature ovaries with both eyes.

            There’s also hormones they think are removed when the stalk is removed.

            But really, no animal likes being injured. And they have no idea what else is going to get cut off.

            If some other thing that’s observing humans cuts the dominant arm off a man without any access to females, they’re going to suggest doing that limits how much they want to masturbate.

            When in reality they just can’t masturbate anymore.

              Clearly the subject of the study is unfamiliar with “the stranger”

        According to where I learned it, in high enough densities in concrete tanks, some shrimp would grind their own eyestalks off on the side of the tank. Some farmer put two and two together.

      There is an indoor shrimp farm in Indiana. Really. They also claim they farm sustainably.

      https://www.rdmshrimp.com/

      Downside: they don’t shell them or cut any bits off or anything. That’s your job.
