I once wondered aloud how they get tanning beds to emit vitamin D. I then immediately corrected myself by saying that it was photosynthesis, which is technically correct, but doesn’t sound right in the context of animals. I did not feel smart.
saying that animals do photosynthesis is like saying that radio signals transmit power. yes, they literally do, but it’s so miniscule that it’s practically negligible. it’s essentially only a signal that’s being transmitted.
