It's funny when people act like Earth was made for humans. Because like, have you seen the Earth? This place was made for saltwater fish.
Yes humans evolved to live here too, but if we're entertaining the idea that an all powerful deity created the earth for any particular species, it's definitely gotta be something from the ocean.
I'm just saying. If you're looking at a place like "who was this made for?" And around 70% of its surface is not habitable, and actively hostile, to your species, then it's a safe bet it's not you.
It's giant squids. They only have one predator, which is severely impacted by humans, who find the giant squid inedible
No i mean they're actually *inedible,* not like small squid. Giant squid flesh is saturated with so much ammonia it will taste like pure piss and make you violently ill no matter how it's treated!
They're so freaking jumbo-large that they need some method to manage their buoyancy, but since they're deep-sea *squid,* they don't have the environmental wiggle room or the evolutionary starting material for a swim bladder full of air. Thus, they need to manage it chemically. Their solution is to fill their tissues with an ammonium chloride solution that apparently tastes like salted licorice. When they die, they lose the ability to moderate the levels of this floaty juice in their system, so it floods their tissues, making them taste absolutely vile.
"tastes like salted licorice" oh so it's like the Finns and the Dutch who are gonna eat it then.
