What a hilarious name to give it. Granted ‘Man-o-war’ is also very funny for a thing that mostly just floats around and stings you if you swim into it.

They hurt like a bitch too. Swam across one while snorkeling in Florida a few months ago. Had a couple tentacles wrapped around my arm. Not fun. And flared up again 2 weeks later. Also not fun.

I was today years old when I learned they aren’t jellyfish… Well, guess I am one of the lucky 10k
To anyone else that only now learned that: they are actually quite interesting, and colonial organisms of a group called Siphonophorae.
I’ve never even heard of this animal in the first place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_man_o'_war

This image is great.
I’m 99% sure that’s a picture of a blue bottle, not sure what a man o war is.
Edit: Well today I learned that what we call “bluebottles” in Aotearoa and Australia is called “Man of War” in the US.

Named after a ship class that would make you scared if you saw it on the horizon
.
That’s very speciesist of you to refer to a Hanar that way >:(
This one is unworthy!
Shouldn’t it be “we are attractive, yes”.

What is the original dialogue?
It’s from The Good Place. She isn’t a person, and she isn’t a computer either.
Thanks!
“And to Janet! The best robot,”
“Not a robot.”
“Girl,”
“Not a girl.”
“And straight up hottie!”
“I am attractive, yes.”
Thanks! :)
