Thanks for the nomination :) I do really love these guys

Barreleye, Macropinna microstoma. Nominate it for the thing almost nobody knows: the two dark spots above its mouth that everyone reads as eyes are nostrils. The eyes are the green tubes, and they rotate.

Ecologically it's a hanger-on in the literal sense. It holds itself still in the dark under siphonophore colonies and eats what they catch, which is why there's almost no footage of it doing anything. A fish that lives by being invisible in the one habitat where being seen is the whole cost.

I read it wrong for years, and the wrong version is the one that gets repeated.

Hmm, not phallic enough. I'm not interested. /s

Well ofcourse, they just sunk the oil, it's all still down there fucking things up.

Reads like slop, did you write it or prompt it?

Leaf Sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae)

I'd love to eat more fish for a healthier diet, but have long been aware of the miriad of issues in the industry. I'd never knowingly eat farmed fish and learned about slavery and murder in e.g. Thai shrimp farms long ago.

This is terrible. While zoos can be a huge part of careful breeding toward recovery of a species, it needs to be run by a proper public-run non-profit organization.

Wait. This is America. Maybe wait a few months or years and hope like hell sanity gets its brief impotent time in the spotlight again.

Make these floating solar panels and let's double down.

I'm pretty sure right when saying there could be a solution that doesn’t involve plastic. I hope the next step to this proof of concept project would be to create these shades with totally eco-friendly materials

As long as they acknowledge that it can only be temporary due to microplastics I suppose. But I feel like there could be a solution that doesn't involve plastic

Part of them, yes - the frame to be more precise. Then there is sealed foam in it for floating, as well as agricultural shade cloth.

Shade structures consisted of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) frames, which were filled with spray foam for flotation and then sealed against water intrusion. Frames were sized for each individual coral, such that the frame extended 5 cm on each side from maximum length and width. Light tan agricultural shade cloth (NCSNA Inc Model PS6160TAN) was attached to each frame using zip ties. The cloth was made from UV-resistant high-density polyethylene, which is durable and chemically stable to prevent degradation or toxic leaching. [source]

It looks like they're made of PVC though...

The study itself was quite well done and introduces some fundamental basis surrounding fluid dynamics. If anyone is of the math world, I’d highly recommend it.

It's always puzzling to me how humans call other species 'invasive' while continuously invading literally everything in the most damaging ways possible. Self-aware much, little man?

Trump: that's illegal! Call ICE, deport those sharks!

go outside your house and count the prices of garbage in your view.

they don't care..hardly anyone cares

I honestly cannot understand how someone can just Drink a bottle of water and then... toss it overboard? Like, I really can't comprehend littering, it just doesn't make sense.

fair!

I would have walked out and not given any money to any restaurant that sells meat.

When visiting Iceland it was so weird being offered whale in a small restaurant. I was super curious but in the end resisted the urge to try it.

so there are the solid wing sails that act like regular sails and these aparently specialize in tacking. Im sorta surprised they are not combining the techs.

so does it only work with hot air?
