If you ever feel like you have no value, just remember that brain-eating amoebas appreciate you so much :)

Theoretical biology question, what would happen if an organism had all white blood cells? Assume that the white blood cells can carry oxygen somehow (or that it has another way of getting air into/out of the body, doesn't need it, etc.), but every blood cell has the capability of eating foreign bacteria. Would it have a jacked immune system like bats, or would it just be different in a new direction?
(Realizing now you meant every blood cell, but oh well, slime mold time)
A multicellular organism where every cell is an amoeba? Well, you're just describing a slime mold! A very popular choice--it's evolved multiple times (at least seven!) from various unrelated protists (the many kinds of organisms that aren't bacteria, fungi, plants, or animals). As the name suggests, a being made of a bunch of little, voracious slimes is one big voracious slime.
Tumblr media
Probably the coolest slime mold is Physarum polycephalum, which has been shown to be capable of reconstructing the layout of the Tokyo rail system--a system so efficient it took human engineers years to design!
But how did a creature without any neurons solve such a complicated problem? Why, quite simple! It made a brain out of tubes.

I remember when I first came across these weird star things under the microscope, I assumed they were some kind of pointy algae (blame the microscope for giving everything a slightly green hue... wait, is that why bacteria are always portrayed as green?) but it turns out they are amoebae with stretched-out pseudopodia, or “arms”.
It’s a bit more clear that they are amoebae in this photo:

See? Nice and wobbly, the way amoeba should be
*Also, amoebae is the plural form of amoeba. Personally I feel like that is too many vowels but ok.

Hiii autistic reader here again!
Thank you for youre quick answer and no you didnt talk too much ^^ I think thats great actually. And its really cool to know that youre also in the black Butler fandom and the others! I totaly agree with youre answer and I think its really accurate. Thank you again <3 Also if you read the Light novel/ side story of moriarty the Patriot then you probably already know how—(SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER)
—William met and saved a little girl who had a special/uniqe ability in which she could see sounds as colours. She felt bad with it because other children didnt understand it and thought that she was weird. William treated her wonderfull and told her multiple times that her ability was great and that she wasnt a weird like she and those kids thought.
holy shit you're right !1!1?1 😭 i absolutely forgot about helena. william is definitely very caring and accepting about literally everybody (except the bad ones, of course)
