The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

"Mother, where do dentists go when they die?" asked a young boy at the department store. He was pulling on his mom's skirt with shaking hands. Hands that feared. Feared that he had already taken one too many steps into the irreversible change that is becoming a doctor of dental surgery.

It was not up to him. Across this great land, millions of people become dentists every year through a process that is still as yet unknown to science. No matter what honeyed lie his beloved maternal parent told him that afternoon, fate had already cast that particular arrow. His nascent curiosity into a deviant lifestyle would lead inexorably to being sent to Dentist Hell upon his eventual and premature demise.

Now, Dentist Hell is not really that bad of a place, at least not according to the new Pope. Most people would describe it as pleasant but uncomfortable. When Dante wrote about it, he described it as basically an infinitely long waiting room, with popular hits on the muzak system and one of those little waterfalls. At least, that's on the customer side. Because they had not yet invented competent maxillofacial dental surgery in his time, Dante only had to visit Dentist Hell briefly in order to get a crown adjusted, and was not himself condemned to the supply side. He rated it well on Hell Yelp.

Certainly, your average tooth-attacking professional will be going to a better place than whatever asshole designed the parking lot outside the department store. Damn near ran over someone fleeing the dental school in tears, clutching a smoking Bible.

I'm frankly frustrated with the coal vs nuclear vs solar debate in modern leftist circles. Ideology seems to be blinding us to the fact that the Lego rock raiders solved all this shit with power crystals.

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it
