Single-celled Memes

Ever felt like your dating life is non-existent? Congrats, you've got something in common with bacteria! Prokaryotes reproduce asexually through binary fission—literally splitting themselves in half instead of swiping right. No romance, no awkward first dates, just *bloop* and suddenly there's two of you! Their idea of "getting lucky" is finding a nice puddle with nutrients. No wonder they've got that unimpressed expression—4 billion years of evolution and still no game whatsoever!
