I know it's unfair vilification and stuff but it's also a lot of fun to see old media and stuff where people were SO scared of big animals like lions, sharks, crocodiles and wolves were fully expected to just come and eat you the moment you stepped into their territory. In older media we also made that assumption about gorillas and in still older we thought it'd be whales. But some animals that will actually fuck you up got left behind. Boars will kill you and eat you. They're way more likely to do so than any of those other things actually. Hippos, obviously, got off like bandits always being depicted as cute and dopey. And then there's the squids. Not giant kraken size squids. The eight foot squids that hunt in packs and will fuck you up if you fall in the water at night. I can't BELIEVE people slept on that. It's like all they cared about were the huge deep sea ones we never see. The medium size wolf pack squids were right there.

[bogleech]

Oh some of you don't know about the squids. I talked about them in another thread that went kinda viral somewhere or other but one of the reasons you should not swim in the open ocean at night in many parts of the world is that the water starts teeming with these:

And as you can see it is not like instant death, they too are just animals and they are often just gently curious about the presence of humans! But people who study and dive with sharks will tell you you're safe as long as you stay calm and know what you're doing. The world's leading professional night divers and experts on these squids, specifically??? Stress in every interview and article and paper they write in that you simply do not fuck around with these squids. They know what they're doing and they still all have at least one story of being attacked, in some cases having to be hospitalized. Considering just how rarely anybody puts themselves in the pitch dark nighttime ocean on purpose, let alone during a squid feeding frenzy, it sounds like they're quite a bit more likely to consider you potential food than other marine predators. We also don't know how many fatal attacks might have ever happened, because what humboldt squid like to do with large prey is just drag it away into the darkness forever. The two worst attacks ever proven involved two or three squid at a time latching on to a diver (in BOTH cases they were professionals and knew the risk!) and jetting straight downward with enough force that both divers suffered injury from the sudden pressure change alone, including burst eardrums, nearly passed out and they probably would have died if they hadn't broken free. In general, people who die drowning in the dark open ocean are either never found, or they're found in pieces picked over by enough scavengers that the precise cause of death can only be narrowed down to "the sea." But now you know ONE of "the sea's" possible murder weapons :)

There's a short section on Humboldt squid in Wikipedia's entry for Cephalopod attacks on humans:

Cephalopod attack - Wikipedia

And if you can get past some of Animal Planet's hokey presentation style, this video includes a bit of interview with one of those professional experts who still got nearly squidded from existence:

There is of course some debate about all this, with some arguing that all proven documented attacks occurred on people with reflective diving equipment, which they say the squid must have mistaken for the shine of fish. However, there are lots and lots of people who have to fish around these squids to survive, who do not have access to that kind of equipment, and also have a consensus that if you fall in the water when big squids are out hunting you might disappear without a trace or perhaps just get your head bitten open. With many modern science guys agreeing with this sentiment, this is one case where the "they're just misunderstood sea friends" crowd is kind of outnumbered. The sea at night is theirs and not ours is all. It's not ours during the day either but since we are neither marine nor nocturnal animals we are double fools in the eyes of the squids, which by the way are these eyes:

No for real:

[my-ants-are-anxious]

Absolutely! Also, the Humboldt squid will hunt in packs, sometimes with one flashing brightly to draw attention while the others approach in near unseeable camoflage!

[bogleech]

Beautiful footage of the nefarious sea demons also :)

Also because I can't reblog every addition together:

Okay where's the other 1199

[spiralshellsreblogs]

I absolutely adore Humboldt squid. I saw a doc once where a scientist was cage diving to study them, and one of the squid squeezed it's entire massive body through the cage bars, bit the guy and squeezed right back out.

[bogleech]

Why isnt this an animal that's already long gone viral like honey badgers once did. This is the animal that actually gives no fucks. People really are just that obsessed with bigger squids I guess? But the bigger ones frankly come across as big softies in comparison. One big sea monster can never be as intimidating as a thousand coordinated man sized sea monsters.

This is why I thought that if mermaids had a cultural equivalent to lycanthropy it'd be weresquids. Fun fact nocturnal marine life increases activity on the brightest nights ie the full moon.

[lasrina]

This is all fascinating but I'm reblogging it exclusively for the phrase "got nearly squidded from existence."

This is a MegaStar Gemformers collection.

Starscream is a star-shaped pearl in different colors, and Megatron is an Obsidian.(G1/cybervers→Fire Obsidian；TFP→Rainbow Obsidian; SG→Blue Sheen Obsidian)

I picked Obsidian for Mega mainly because I once watched a SU analysis on YouTube saying that non-fusion Obsidians seem to be more like army-based construction workers — basically labor-class Gems. Not super high in status, but very powerful. And since we also see Snowflake Obsidian having some unique abilities in the show, it just felt like a really good fit.

As for Starscream… no explanation needed. Pearl-coded from the start 💅✨

And their fusions will be like…

I don’t think I have time to draw these but it’s fun to think about it.

Last song: sober to death by car seat headrest

Favourite colour: I like a sort of greyish green, most greens are nice

Currently watching: Wayward (stressful as all hell show but it’s pretty good). Something very bad is going to happen (same deal as wayward). Rewatching the spy kids movies cause those are so cool. Just horror movies in general.

Currently reading: re-reading The Ash House which is my favourite book ever I’ve read it so many times and I wanna see a movie adaptation of it so bad

Current obsession: 28 days later franchise, project sekai, anything aardman related, saw franchise, creep franchise, horror movies, British comedy shows/panel shows, dead meat and razzle (both YouTube channels), I wanna try and get back into berserk.

last song: semi-automatic by twenty one pilots (summoning @thatgenricuser) but fittingly (since prev was listening to sober to death) just before that i was also listening to fill in the blank by car seat headrest

favourite colour: purple maybe i think yeah

currently watching: taskmaster... again. just finished the series 13 rewatch. no way!

currently reading: tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by gabrielle zevin

current obsession: not much to be honest which is shocking for me. i got really into the new skate game and have been playing that quite a lot so probably that or the long standing taskmaster obsession which is just always there

currently working on: i do not 'work on' things. does tumblr i think i have my shit together that much. i wait until inspiration strikes then spend three hours in a creative frenzy and then never touch it again. joking! i'm currently working on a fanfic and some reference sheets for art fight (it's never too early to start)

currently reading: project hail mary — i'm not a super huge fan of the writing style (quippy nerdy white guy sci fi narrator that wouldn't feel out of place in a middle grade novel and gets on my nerves a bit) but honestly i'm getting used to it? the plot is very interesting and i have zero qualms with the amount of science going on which seems to be its biggest criticism so there's that too

current obsession: blood on the clocktower which is sort of wild for a game i've never actually played. but if anyone would like for me to ramble about character interactions and patters games....

currently reading: Katabasis by R. F. Kuang and A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman. Not making much progress on either but its the thought that counts??

current obsession: heated rivalry!!! (and dinosaurs, and medical science but that is always the case)

Favorite color: I like soft cool colors, if I were to narrow it down it would probably be some sort of blue.

Currently watching: I recently started watching the original g1 transformers cartoon on Tubi. While I wouldn’t call it “good” I think it’s a fun time.

Current Obsession: Transformers, love those guys. I’ve been getting collecting figures for the few years, have been reading the skybound comics, and watching Chris Mcfeely’s character breakdown’s on YouTube. I’ve Also been thinking a lot about skeletons lately.

Currently working on: No real projects at the moment. I’ve been thinking about learning to cook, but it’s hard for me to push myself into actually putting in the work.
