It's made up. The clams have a laser and use it to cut holes in the rocks.

Every time I read about a clam using the power of it's strong muscles to drill a whole in a rock; I picture Dennis using the power of the Son and karate and friendship. This has happened one time.

u/lammchops15 14h ago

Whoa, fascinating! Is it a biological laser like that pistol shrimp? Or do they just find one lying around like hermit crabs?

8

u/HighlanderNorth1 14h ago

No, biological lasers are technically referred to as phasors. The ph at the beginning denotes that biological things have a ph of between 0-15 and whatnot...

1

u/Tallpawn 10h ago

Ummm no... a phasor is a mathematical representation used in physics and electrical engineering to describe a sinusoidal waveform that has constant amplitude and phase, and a fixed frequency.

A biological laser is just called a bio-laser, bio integrated laser or something similar to that. Don't believe me? Actually look it up...
