The forgotten heroes of oxygen production! While humans celebrate trees for giving us air, the true oxygen-making MVPs are drowning in neglect. Cyanobacteria and algae produce 50-80% of Earth's oxygen, yet here they are—submerged in the depths of scientific obscurity while trees get all the environmental glory.

And that Costasiella Kuroshimae reference? Chef's kiss! This sea slug literally steals chloroplasts from algae and photosynthesizes like it's no big deal. It's basically a tiny green sheep that grazes on algae, keeps their solar panels, and becomes a plant-animal hybrid. Nature's ultimate hack!
