Whatever's Wrong with Me, it's Working.

TL;DR

Hank Green's quirky enthusiasm for mola mola fish drove over a million views, so he's answering fan questions and selling a second shirt.

Key Points

• 1.The mola mola's gelatinous interior is mostly collagen and water — not fat-based, so it can't be burned for energy like whale oil or olive oil
• 2.Mola slime is not well understood, but the high concentration inside their mouths and digestive systems likely protects them from jellyfish stings
• 3.Mola are relatively resilient to climate change because warmer, nutrient-rich water with fewer fish actually increases jellyfish populations — their primary food source
• 4.Oarfish, like mola, are deep-sea jellyfish predators that grow very large, but are harder to study because they never surface, making satellite tagging impossible
• 5.A new "Whatever's Wrong with Me, It's Working" shirt was designed by Pepper Raccoon, and everyone who orders either mola shirt gets a free Moola Colola sticker
• 6.Pre-orders exist so the exact number of shirts needed gets printed at a local screen printer — no overstock, no shortage
• 7.Hank plays Connections live, correctly grouping comic strips (Far Side, Peanuts, Blondie, Bloom County), Teddy Roosevelt phrases (Rough Riders, Bull Moose, Big Stick, Teddy Bear), and terms for gray hair (Salt, Pepper, Silver, Distinguished, Fleck)
