It's just wild the deeper you go, the harmless yet nightmares to your eyeballs creatures get. Think about it: the biggest threat are squids, any size in fact.
I used to love the ocean and swimming in general until my grandmother, for whatever twisted reason, let 7-year-old me watch Jaws on TV with no context whatsoever. From that experience, I lost my love of sea-critters and gained about 30 years of shark-related paranoia. And then since Mother Nature is one psychotic b**** , she dumped about 30 years of tornado-trauma on top of that because sure, why not. I assume that at some point she decided combining sharks and tornadoes would make a great premise for a movie. Several times. I spent most of my early/mid childhood terrified that Jaws was going to swim up the toilet and eat me in half, ass first. (Jaws was a magic shark, he could go wherever the hell he wanted.) Sometimes he was in the shower. Or under my carpet* He could also turn himself invisible. Took me a few years to stop believing that...Which of course was the perfect time to sling the tornado trauma in there. I digress. The ocean is terrifying. I self-therapied my irrational fear of sharks by watching the movie over and over, videos like this one, and forcing myself to snorkel around in the shallow parts.where there were no sharks, just a whole bunch of hermit crabs. (But it took me actually getting into the water with a whole buncha them thangs in a controlled environment to finally torpedo the phobia. I don't want to clutter your comment section so the abridged version of that story is "I Got Plowed Into by And Then Accidentally Rode a 30 Foot Long Whale Shark For About Four Seconds" I still have a wariness about sharks, but it's more along the lines of a healthy respect for what they can do than fear. Would I ever spend a half second in the deep sea? Hell no, Jaws is down there.somewhere.
Humboldt squids can dislocate your arm with its strength…imagine 1000 of them going after something larger than you. A certain starfish can make slime better than a hagfish…clear, poisonous.
I have been WAITING for someone to call out the reproductive organ on that chimaera's forehead XD I saw this the first time and IMMEDIATELY said the same thing "It's a d-head?!" I love your reactions
I was once asked the question "what is one thing no amount of money could get you to do"? No question, i will never swim in the mother fucking ocean. Aww hell you'll never get me on a beach.
Why? In 90% of it, you'll be 100% safe or dead due to impossibly high pressure levels. The only thing that could hurt you is a curious shark. That's about it 🤔. And they don't live everywhere, only in certain areas 😐.
@@louisrobitaille5810 or stone fish or jellyfish... it's fear of the unknown. I haven't swam in a lake since a snappy turtle latched onto my foot. Oh and sand touching my feet gives me panic attacks
I disagree,I think understanding reality...no matter how weird..can destroy the most (all) idiotic, superstitious, religious nonsense that we teach ! Nature 100%, superstitious religious nonsense 0. Education kills ignorance 100% dead!
This shit gives me PTSD! I was on a fishing trip of the coast of Scotland a number of years ago and at the end of the trip decided to jump in for a swim completely unaware there was shark sightings every so often, like its Scotland, their deadliest creature is cows ffs but i jumped just outside the vacuum of a basking sharks inhale and........... inevitably pissed myself.
I get it wasn't the point of the video, but bro really only scratched the surface on the weirdness of siphonophores. There are other, full-length vids about them that I highly recommend because they are just way too alien to not talk about in more detail. Also, side note about the isopods; he calls them giant ocean cockroaches but they're really more like giant ocean pillbugs/woodlice. Pillbugs are literally land-dwelling isopods; they are in fact crustaceans, not insects. Other than their main food source being dead wood and leaves, part of the reason they like to hide out under rocks and logs is because they still haven't fully evolved the ability to breathe air. They don't require immersion in water like their counterparts, but they still have gills that require a certain amount of moisture from damp soil to work properly.
If I were y'all, I'll make my own sub armed with *torpedoes* specifically just to yeet the Humboldt squids & blow them to kingdom come. Throw in remote-controlled Spear guns for good measure Not only did I do yourselves a favor by wiping out sea menaces one torpedo & spears at a time, but I just made the oceans a bit better place to go in. AND some seafood to eat while at it Torpedoed & blown-up calamaris, anyone?
I don't know if this is your thing, but i would really love for you to react to something from kurzgesagt. Preferably "What happens if the moon crashes onto earth?" Also, yeah, screw the ocean, there is a reason people aren't meant to be in there.
Except there's another fish in the deep that literally uses the darkness to its advantage by not even developing any bioluminescence of its own and whenever it eats prey whatever bioluminescence that prey had will be blocked from ever revealing the fish's location meaning the only way to see this fish is with a flashlight.
He wouldn't go into it, but the reason he wouldn't talk about the mating habits of the angler fish was because of the way that "marriage" goes about. And it is, indeed, a tightly binding marriage. The larger fish? They're all females. The males of the species are much smaller. When two angler fish "marry", they do so via fusion. Literally. The male fish will latch onto the female with its jaws, before excreting an enzyme that melts its flesh and organs, permanently fusing it to the female's body, until what was once a male's body is just a fleshy protuberance on the female's body that contains male reproductive organs.
I’ll be that guy, like this comment if you love the ocean and would actively go out there. I found myself laughing my butt off at these two’s visible anxiety and fear watching this. Hagfish looks like a bomb dish and I own a Frilled Shark poster bc they’re awesome
I can't think of the name of those fish always with sharks, it's symbiotic relationship they clean the sharks and the sharks protect them, so fish are friends, except bloody freaking dolphins the go out of the way to merc sharks
