I don't have a phobia of it but the open ocean goes against all instincts when you are in it. I've only done it a few times. You also feel like you're in a giant washing machine if it's quite rough. Looking down though and seeing nothing but blue then black is very unsettling. It's much colder too. I looked down like 3 times and had enough. Diving reefs in the shallows is amazing though, even with sharks 200ft away, i felt less scared.
Imo the Mediterranean 'Serpent Skeleton' is probably the skeletal remains of a whale fall. When whales die they fill with gas and their bodies rise up to the surface before eventually sinking down onto the seabed. Once the carcass is on the seabed it's referred to as a whale fall. the 'serpent' is probably just the remains of a whale fall. There's an instance of a female blue whale being measured at thirty metres long so it could be a blue whale. I don't think it's likely that the skeleton is of a basking shark since sharks tend not to have pelvic bones whereas whales do. Though, from what I've seen other people say the spinal column isn't like any kind of whale species' spines so honestly I'm not too sure but this is my best guess lol
I'm someone with a healthy respect for the ocean, but I figured it'd be fun to share this. I personally have felt the call of the deep before, many times. I always have someone with me when i'm at a body of water cus of it; it doesn't even have to be the ocean. I've had it in lakes, pools, rivers, anything that just goes past a certain depth. Especially if there's any murkiness. It's just this deep feeling of NEEDING to go deeper, to wade out farther. It's like a trance at times. I'm pretty sure i've felt it even as a kid, cus I have memories of going out too far and my parents having to grab me and pull me back, me fighting to try and go out again. I used to dive to the bottom of my grandma's pool and just anchor myself to the bottom for as long as I could, because it was just this need to be there, it was comforting, like it's where I was supposed to be. I took scuba diving classes before and that's always what I would do. Go deep as I could. I couldn't get my certifications due to covid, but now i'm wondering if that was a good thing.
I think That What Makes Spongebob Cool is that when you think about it,Spongebob’s living his dream life. He has a job that he Enjoys and is Compensated for it.He has hobbies that he’s passionate about and That he is able to pretty much live his life and be content with it. Sure his Hobbies Maybe Childish but hey If He’s enjoying it and Not harming anyone and He can Afford to Enjoy it just with friends and family that like him. He is Funny to kids and fascinating to adults
No, not the hubris of *men* , the hubris of yet another rich person who kicked the words of experts to the curb. It's hard to feel bad for arrogance like this.
When I was 14 and entered high school, I wanted to fit in and started making the mistake of acting like SpongeBob. I thought at the time he was the coolest thing people would see and talk about and little did I know that was the complete opposite around. Kinda like mark zuckerberg.
Every time i think an iceberg video might break tradition and be worth watching for once, I'm proven immediately wrong by some loud obnoxious unfunny bullshit. At least you had the decency to do it early enough that i don't waste my time.
Hear me out… most of the areas we’re able to get fossils from were essentially shallow or coastal oceans at best. All the BIG creatures were out deeper, in areas that have been ocean for hundreds of millions of years and we cant dig for fossils
Aquatic creatures cannot simply migrate deeper into the ocean from where they have spent the entirety of their lives. There's let's fish deeper in the ocean to sustain any creature, not to mention the major temperature difference that would kill off so many of them.
