I will forever be weirded out by the fact sand dollars, starfish and scallops are actual living beings. I mean, I don't know what else they could be, I never thought about it. Their remains were always just a thing to me. Never thought of where they come from.

Then my ignorance was ruined. Ignorance is bliss, people, bliss!
