The researchers made a total banger of a video of it. Turn the bass up.

that was dope
Incredible Video. Thank you for sharing
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/iceberg-breaks-off-antarctica-revealing-104553716.html
to save you a click, they found an ecosystem where they didn't really expect to see one but it's not a great big novelty, just the normal sort of "never seen that species before" kind of novelty that comes with nearly every trip below the waves.
it's very funny how this kind of thing constantly repeats, and then you look at the horror and it's utterly mundane and kinda pathetic
elephants aren't afraid of mice, but humans are apparently so desperate for horror that we'll be spooked by jellyfish
I am spooked by jellyfish entirely without horror.
100 squid sized chuthulus? Or 1 chuthulu sized squid?
Yeah, I was wondering what about a tentacled animal would be so exciting, given that there are so many other tentacled animals out there already...
Ok, I don't mean this is as specific criticism of OP, this is a general gripe.....
but come on y'all. this is science memes and nobody bothered to link to the actual press release from the organization?
https://schmidtocean.org/thriving-antarctic-ecosystems-found-in-wake-of-recently-detached-iceberg/
Stop lazily sharing images of cool sea creatures without bothering to share the source of them, especially since this particular organization livestreams their ENTIRE dives on youtube, they have HUNDREDS of 5+ hour or so long recordings of their ROV dives all publicly accessible.
https://www.youtube.com/@SchmidtOcean/streams
It is really starting to piss me off that people will share an occasional meme-ified finding/photo from this ROV/organization and be like "wow so cool" and no one bothers to share the youtube of the organization that is literally livestreaming HD definition video of them DOING THESE DIVES. This extends from people who show me memes made from images from these ROV dives all the way up to supposedly professional news organizations lazily writing an article on something this organization found and not linking to the public video archive, stream and source of the content. Seriously, am I crazy? Why isn't the fact that anybody can watch these dives and see all the cool sea creatures being discovered by scientists for themselves repeated in every article by a news organization about something the ROV discovered? They are amazing and the camera on the Subastion ROV is insanely good, the footage is gorgeous.
I am mad because this is super fucking cool and people would rather just clip a picture or too and be like "ooooh deep sea" while not linking to one of the only organizations on earth and one of the only ROVs on earth, doing these dives regularly and sharing the info... while the deep sea is about to be strip mined by deep sea mining companies before we even understand it.
Please do better y'all, share and watch the fuck out of the deep sea, but I challenge you to stop being superficial about it.
The horror of the deeps meme is a funny one I guess, but it is boring, it is boring to call the deep sea "alien", it is no more alien than we are. What is alien is our sense of disassociation from these places that are as much a part of earth as anywhere else on this dying planet...
Science is under such incredible threat, as are ecosystems especially ocean ones, show this shit to your kid, watch it yourself, this is incredible stuff and it makes awesome background TV!
I, for one, welcome our new Cthulhu overlord.
Still better than Trump
"At The Mountains of Madness"
I wouldn't want to show the Old Ones the current state of the world but I'm sure they will appreciate the warmth
Old Ones "Yeah, we're going to have to take a pass on this planet."
Old ones going mad at the state of this planet. Tbh same.
Rise from your grave... Altered Beast, anyone?
Power up!
I always hear the wolf howling despite it happening quite a bit later after that phrase.
First thing I thought of too
"Rise from your grave and save my daughter!"
Kraken? Cthulhu?
IA! Fthagn!
Haha Blood, I understood that reference
...Not sure if you're serious, but it's an Altered Beast reference. Blood is "I live again"
Shit, you're right. I'm am a dumb bass!
mind flayer
THE DIRE_WOLF_PACK SHALL RETURN MFRS AROOOOO BETTER GRAB YOUR MFN WOLFMATES AND PREPARE FOR ULTIMATE GLORY
AAROOOO MFRS
Ia, ia Cthulhu fa'tagn?
Yes... Ha ha ha... Yes!
sickos be like
How crazy would it be if it was those tentacled creatures that talked to me during a hypnosis session
You are their envoy! You are their messenger!
Tell us, oh enlightened one! What is the ancient ones' word?
"Stop trying to pull me off. The headaches are because you keep trying to separate us."
Was it at a MAPS session?
If by MAPS you mean 'mind-altering-psychoactive-substance' no. Just regular hypnotherapy. With scripts and calm music and all.
I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD prior to it, so I sort of chalk it up to my wild as shit imagination doing crazy stuff with the prompts. I was probably 14 at the time?
It's also only happened once, was pretty damn vivid, but more fascinating than creepy.
The thing said to me "stop trying to pull me off. The headaches are because you keep trying to separate us."
where are the worms?
Okay, who sang The Song of the End Times!?
