While there are indeed a lot of fish in the sea, it’s not easy for plankton to meet people. These microscopic organisms are often overlooked by passing snorkelers and scuba snobs. Typical asexual reproduction means these spineless creatures are in desperate need of friendship and guidance. This is something that’s harder and harder to find.
However, as sea levels rise, it only makes sense that human beings widen their net of potential buddies. Instead of limiting one to dog parks and cat shelters, we should be looking towards the ocean.
Only recently have plankton begun to realize just how boring their existences are and have. They have been around for 2 maybe 3 billion years. Which means there was a time when they didn’t have to worry about speed boaters and annoying fisherman invading their marine sanctuaries. We overtook them about fifteen or twenty years ago, with the advent of the Internet and online gambling.
Who doesn’t need a new friend? Planktonic love is defined by going outside of your species, even considering a pal you might not be able to see or hear. That’s okay. Real friends don’t have much to say anyway. They are content to just be.
