Why do only certain fishes posess electric organs? Is it impossible

You will never be a human tazer

>>7765409
afaik these electric organs are basically modificated muscles. Why cant land-based lifefoms develope this.

>>7765409
Why even live?

>fishes

please leave

Sorry

Stick a fork in a mutant electrical outlet

>Why do only certain fishes posess electric organs?
Why do only certain fishes possess organic 'lures' to fool prey? They evolved to be suitable.
>Is it impossible for land-based lifeforms to have these too?
No, anything is possible.
>Would they even work on land?
No, the eel relies on water to conduct its electric discharge. You'd have to be soaking wet at all times and slap a person with your stun-gun arm, which I think we can agree is both impractical and very silly.
>How much do these fishes need to eat to make up for the energy loss?
Thats actually a good question, I dont think it's significant though. They can keep a shock going for up to an hour without fatigue.
>Is it possible to breed humans with electric organs?
Yes, it's theoretically possible but not practical. They'd have to be engineered in a lab.
>And with electric i mean strong enough to paralyze/kill foes
Extremely impractical.
You know what WOULD be cool though? A penis that's been engineered to work like a mineral-mortar instead. Metabolize white phosphorous from bones in external testicle-like organs, keep in a neutral gel until squeezed out in the ejaculatory fashion by powerful prostate-like muscular pulses. Once the mucus evaporates, the phosphorous can become volatile midair and rain pain down on a prey animal. Sick as hell.

What the fuck did I just read????

>>7766695
The bombardier beetle does this although not out of his weewee

>>7765379
But we are already electric OP. Haven't you heard of the nervous system?

> And with electric i mean strong enough to paralyze/kill foes

>>7766739
It's strong enough to paralyze yourself when it stops working

>>7766753
What do you mean?

>>7766775
seizures are just pulses of electricity.

>>7766775
If your nervous system stops working you become paralyzed

>>7766790
So im basically "overcharging" myself? Can my body produce that much electricity?

>>7766829
Not basically overcharging yourself. Often times it's because the nervous system is damaged.

>>7765379
>Would they even work on land?

No. The reason they work in the ocean is that saltwater is conductive. Air is a notoriously poor conductor.

And if i touch my prey?
