The Deep Sea

I scrolled all the way to the bottom. I thought for sure the last caption was going to say "Epstein didn't kill himself."

Cool anyway, though.

pretty sure polar bears can't dive that deep

“In this particular case, van Meurs and Stirling recorded the polar bear reaching a dive depth of somewhere between 45 and 50 meters (147.6 and 164 feet).”

I was thinking that the only thing that could have made that page better would be that Rick Astley music vid at the bottom.

I don't know if you guys will already have seen because it got a bit of viral traction a year or two back but this but there's an instagram account which is just this Russian guy who works on a deep sea trawler taking pictures of the weird stuff they pull up:

When I was a kid there was a big exhibit about the deep ocean at the Royal BC Museum, and I went and saw it many times. Some of that deep sea stuff is pretty fascinating. It's amazing to think how much of it there is - I mean not only is the surface of the earth mostly ocean, but practically every living thing on land is literally on the surface. It's basically a two-dimensional space, but the ocean isn't just what's on the surface; it's all the three-dimensional space it occupies, all the way down.

I mean I guess of course I spend a lot of time on the water so for me it's easy to be enthralled by it but you forget just how much totally alien space is down there.

I thought they'd have Megatron down at the bottom. 'Course he did escape.

I've always found the unknown fascinating. Whether it's light years away, or a half mile below our feet.
