Marine biology's most bizarre reproductive strategy gets the SpongeBob treatment! Male argonauts (a type of octopus) literally detach their reproductive organ—called a hectocotylus—and send it swimming off to find a female. The meme portrays this as a naval operation, which isn't entirely wrong. The male's penis does indeed navigate solo through the ocean like a tiny sperm torpedo on a mission. Nature's way of saying "I'm interested but not interested enough to swim over there myself." Talk about commitment issues!
