[@thebiggestpanda1]

@@TheFatalcrest so the way it works is the cards aren’t actually going anything. When you use them, you are trying to contact a demon who will use their power to influence the cards so you draw them in a way that tells you what you want to know. The demons won’t play along with you unless you either steal the cards (you’re willing to sin to contact them) or they stumble into your life (the demon wants to contact you). Just buying them normally isn’t good enough 🤷‍♂️.

To be fair, fish can be very sympathetic and sweet. I kept a sickly albino betta fish for about 8 months. He had a long, lonely life in a dirty cup at a pet store. But when I saw him, he looked me in the eyes. He lifted himself up from the floor of his cup and stared. He lay back down sadly when I put the cup down. I picked it up, and he did it again. I rushed home, prepped the tank, returned and bought him. All the way home, he watched me, very closely. I think he knew I was rescuing him. In those 8 months, I got super emotionally attached to him. Hoshi knew his name when I called from behind the desk (he couldn’t see me back there), he would play peekaboo with my hand on the glass, and shimmer his long fins excitedly whenever I praised him. He learned to swim through a hoop for treats, and he always showed off to my best friend. When I bought a cleaner snail, he lay across the bag as I floated it, and refused to leave. He and Ghost became friends. He would slowly swim around the tank, watching her clean, and never pecked at her long, temptingly wiggly eyestalks. Whenever she invaded his hammock log, even when he was testy, he never snapped at her. He’d patiently wait for her to be done, then dart back in to lie down. He eventually got too sick and chewed and bashed his own fins off in stress. He lasted about two days in a sick, stressed decline, and before I could euthanize him, he burrowed himself into a plant and passed away. Even at the end, he breathed slower and calmer when I had my hand on the glass. He would stop darting around in a panic whenever I sat by his tank, and swim over to see me. He didn’t like my family as much, for he avoided them coming to the glass. But he knew my face. Stars, I miss him. I’m crying a little just writing this. Fish have personalities. They’re really sweet when you earn their trust. I miss Hoshi so much 🤍 Edit: wow, wow, you guys are really sweet. i wasn't expecting anyone to see this comment. thank you for your kind words. I understand doubting what you read on the internet. But, no, this isn't copypasta, and i am a fairly normal, socially healthy human being. im not starved for connection, not by any stretch of the imagination 😅 in defense of fish having emotions: physical responses can be faked in humans. we pretend to be happy or sad, for we are aware of other people's feelings. but animals don't typically exhibit that behavior, and certainly not to the extent we humans do. thus, their physical behavior can be attributed to how they feel and think. physical behavior like faster breathing, fin flaring, darting, nipping, and hiding are all documented behaviors in fish. the meaning of these behaviors is also well documented. Hoshi's behavior observably changed when i interacted with him. i don't know how much emotions fish feel, but emotions play a huge part in our survival drive. feelings of fear and happiness drive our decisions, and the same is true of animals. they exhibit observable habits and behavior, and there is evidence animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for.

Blobfish look normal underwater. When we bring them to the surface, they look disgusting. This is because of the effects of depressurization on the fish. This depressurization basically melts the fish, which is why most above-water specimens die a horrible, likely excruciating death.

[@Zorro9129]

The thing is, other deep-water fish get brought up and they look fairly unchanged, so why that fish exactly?

[@cooldud7071]

@@Zorro9129 Those fish chose a differing evolutionary strategy. Blobfish have flabby, gelatinous bodies which allow for them to maintain a mostly neutral buoyancy. That body gets destroyed upon surfacing, as the deep-sea pressure no longer exists to keep their bodies intact.

Kinda hard to die an “excruciating” death when your central nervous system is barely developed enough to experience the sensation of pain at all

[@cooldud7071]

@@dihexa7256 Scientists currently cannot determine whether or not fish can experience pain. There is a wide array of knowledge in support of the view that they do experience pain. An good deal of information supports the opposite. I used the word "likely" to indicate that, given the growing body of evidence showing that fish do indeed feel pain, the death of a Blobfish brought up to the surface could be excruciating.

[@lostpatrolman9205]

@@dihexa7256 Fish do feel pain, their nervous systems are well developed, after all they use complex organs to detect water pressure changes around. They just don't experience it the same way we do, but that doesn't mean that a fish is ok with getting stabbed. Pain is an important adaption to avoiding dangerous situations, and almost all animals have it to some degree, though it manifests in very different ways. It's important to remember that fish are not super primitive "things" that are simple, fish are a highly diverse, specialized, complex, and and successful group of animals that have a evolutionary history as long and complicated as our own.

Hawai'ian by statehood here. Cook originally landed during the makahiki: a celebration of Lono, the god of fertility, agriculture, music, rainfall, and peace. By all accounts, their deity visiting in human form was overzealously welcomed by the native Hawai'ians, and records from Cook's ship show that they were plied with hospitality: food, women, gifts, etc. They departed just around the time that the makahiki was concluding, unknowingly playing into the Hawai'ians' expectations. And then: the storm, the damage to the ship, and their return to Hawai'i. It was no longer the makahiki. Why was Lono coming back so soon? While not the only reason and probably not even the biggest one, this physical manifestation of their god "misbehaving" almost certainly played a role in the Hawai'ians experiencing skittishness right from the start of Cook's reappearance, ultimately resulting in his death.

[@tiyenin]

PS: Hawai'ian by statehood, not by blood. I'm Asian, which is actually the majority ethnic demographic of Hawai'i and a WHOLE other can of worms that I don't have the time to get into right now. PPS: Popular lore in the islands dictate two funny but contrary stories that conclude this parade of errors. One: the Hawai'ians fully coconut crabbed that bish and his dead compatriots. Two: upon returning Cook's body, Hawai'ians earnestly asked when they would see him again. Recall that this was just a manifestation of Lono to them: killing his body didn't kill the GOD, obviously - just stopped his bipedal form from being such a cock.

17:01 Sad Fact: Over the years, the effect of tourism has made it's mark on Everest. Thousands of pieces of trash get thrown away by tourists hiking the mountain each year to the point the trail looks more like a landfill than an actual mountain hike. A local sherpa made international news by making it his life mission to clean up Everest and making life threatening climbs on the mountain just to take down the garbage left behind. I believe he's collected a whole ton of trash at one point, that's how bad the tourists sullied this local place of spiritual guidance and worship.

This episode is a perfect example of how great it is when the actual topic of an In The Field goes in and out. Like this went from a literal Explorer (on topic), to Living Under The Ocean (kind of on topic?), to facts about Brine Pools (off topic), to what life as a fish must be like (way off topic), to climbing a mountain (back on topic, went full 180), to exploring a book store (partially on topic?), to stealing Tarot Cards and Ouija Boards with a Mouse Trap gag baked in there (off topic), then it goes to video game/liminal space exploration (back on topic?), but then instantly turns around to them spending the last 7 minutes making a Creepypasta (off topic). Just brilliant.

My favorite thing I know about the ocean is that sunfish are so huge and slow and dumb that their survival strategy is just to taste like crap and hope whatever decides to eat it just... Gets bored, and stops, before it eats enough of it's vital organs for it to die. It has no nerve endings, so can't feel itself being eaten, and when it gets attacked it just goes "ah, oh well" and it's so slow it can't do anything about it. Adults are so huge that they only get chunks taken out of them by the biggest predators, so you'll just see huge sunfish moping around with giant holes in them, half their back gone. But younger sunfish, sealions in California like to bite their fins off to make them more disc shaped, and then play Frisbee with them. When they're done, they just leave a finless dumb disc to sit there and wait to die.
