I don't mind the ad so much but the title of this video set out to answer the "how" and I didn't see any answers. I got as much fact out of the title as watching the whole of that video.

[NeoAnguiano]

[JABofLEGENDS]

[dave]

except you never explained anything; the whole video felt very vague and redundant.

[ExopMan]

I did research on this topic and some related ideas...the original "mussels glue" exploration was over 20 years ago. It is not really a new idea.

Am I the only person who read sea organisms as orgasms. . .?
