That looks like self-propeled bacon.
"existing for no clear reason"
So like every other life form we know of?
Imagine scientists declaring that you are not interesting enough to be technically alive and you have been officially kicked out.
The ocean's condom.
Jellyfish are the ocean's condoms. These are the ocean's big punchy balloon things. Either way Spongebob is having a good weekend.
Has no organs
Looks inside...

...organs.
is there a poop hole?
No but also yes
There's a hole
Topologically speaking, no. This is clearly a sphere.
I am not speaking topoligically I am talking about the poop hole
As the old saying goes anyway
yeah, the mid-ventral butt opening
The sign on the outside says "Entry ^" and the sign on the inside says "Exit ^"
It’s disturbing to me that so many people search for what something is used for or what’s the value or right to life a creature has. The point of life is to live. If you are successful you maybe make a child or split into a copy of yourself when you get enough food.
Purpose is something you accept for yourself. Imposing it on others is diabolically evil when they don’t have a thing to do with your clade. And still, it would be the case that a person would look at an animal and say “what’s the point of you?”
I also find that to be a weird question to consider, as though something must have a purpose to be worthy of existence
In that vein, what is the point of humans? To bring on the 6th mass extinction?
We're really trying, aren't we?
I think try is the wrong world, pretty sure we've succeeded, the question now is "Does anything survive?"
a fanciful answer i heard was that "humans are how the universe perceives itself," and a person could be forgiven for thinking that the point of humans is to do science. closer to the ground, the point of humans seems to be to alter our surroundings to suit our society: kind of like ants. we build, we live, we reproduce, we spread. it's not a good thing or a bad thing, it just is what it is.
What does "point" even mean in this context??

So from the wiki
The monophyly of Xenacoelomorpha soon became established, but its position as either a basal bilaterian clade or a deuterostome remained unresolved until 2016, when two new studies, with increased gene and taxon sampling, again placed Xenoturbella as the sister group of Acoelomorpha within Xenacoelomorpha, and placed Xenacoelomorpha as sister to Nephrozoa (Protostomia plus Deuterostomia), and therefore the basalmost bilaterian phylum<
Seems like "where on the tree of life" is "the first bilaterals" which makes sense. They seem very worm-like in bodyplan. Shit from the Pre-Cambrian can look pretty alien and have shaky relationships to more derived species.
No clear reason? It's because the thing can successfully make more of itself before dying. That's literally it.

Yeah man but does God have a Divine plan for him? Or does he just like have to make his own way? Or is his entire life just like a cosmic accident and it makes no difference if he lives or dies?
It truly has one hole, in that it eats, has a digestive sack, and then vomits the poop
vomits the poop
have had norovirus, know that feel
Kinda like a 2 stroke engine. The fuel and the exhaust all just mix.
It’s gross, but I can’t see any reason this disqualifies it from being on the tree of life.
If the hole doesn't go through, it is only a pocket, typographically identical to a plate.
It eats.
It is thus the primordial consumer.
... kinda does bare a resemblance to what AM turns Ted into...
Exist for no reason? All life has a purpose, and that is to poop. The excrement speaks for itself.
The universe is a chain of cause and effect, and the only way to interpret "a reason" for something without introducing artificial human constructs of morality, is "what caused it?". The process of evolution caused this.
Would.


I don't think any natural thing exists for a reason. That's reserved for things made or at least caused by sentient beings.
