[@elisabethschmerzler963]

I’ve always wondered if giant or at least huge squids were common knowledge when Jules Verne published 20,000 leagues under the sea. It’s pretty interesting to read now since a lot of suspense of what the creature is in the beginning has disappeared due to our knowledge of squids so you basically spend the entire first half of the book going “Yeah that’s just a squid.”

[@toastedt140]

The giant squids wouldn't have been in his novel if they weren't well known at the time. 20,000 Leagues under the sea was written about 9 years after the capture of a specimen in France that made international news. Your average potatoe farming peasant probably had no clue, but the burgeoning middle class and rich would have heard of them.

Are there any other authors or works were influenced by scientific discoveries of their time?

The ocean is a more viable place to explore compared to outer space. The chance of finding alien creatures in the deeb is higher than in a vacuum that's incalculably larger than the ocean.

[@b0ark1ng21]

Not exactly "alien", and the part about space being massive is the whole reason we want to explore it. We want to explore it because it IS hard!

[@limyarplane1991]

exploring the ocean in any significant degree is generally considered to be harder then going to space though, its insanly hard to go to the crazy depths unlike in space its almost impossible to stay down there for any significant period of time.

[@leonhardable]

​@@limyarplane1991no. just simply very very wrong. we can not reach alpha centauri, and will not be able to do so in the lifetime of anybody born at this moment. we have hoewever already reached the most remote part of our oceans. but exploring other deep holes isnt likely to lead to makor breakthroughs, so we just dont do it for now. every scientist on earth would right now trade in a kidney to know what orbits beteigeuze, while most dont care enough to pick up a book about earths second deepest trench. space is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder, probably factor 100

[@limyarplane1991]

@@leonhardable hi i said "going to space" for a reason, this does not mean exploring other planets going outside our solar system or anything else. just the process of getting into space and we as a species achieved that far before we where able to go to thoes depth's. not to mentioned that we can stay in space almost year round threw the iss while staying underwater in the depths for any period of time is currently still not realistically feasable.

[@machtmann2881]

@@limyarplane1991 You're decreasing gravity going up into space while increasing it by going down into the ocean. That makes development and research harder and more dangerous for extended periods of time due to increasing pressure. Still, you're probably more likely to find creatures that you can study by going deep into the ocean rather than going into space.

[@Ajay-pj2hv]

@@El_Fabricio that's another interesting point because I've read many books where hoards of insects/small creatures that attack in unison and seem to act as one are also referred to as monsters. So it's not necessarily only big creatures that are referred to as monsters but it can also be anything horrifying or out of our ability to control

[@ledfarmer100]

This video would be much better with names and actual pictures / videos of discovery

[@kvd1]

The real life kraken is likely an omnivore. Feeding on what ever is available. Including foods we don’t expect cephalopods to eat, like plant material and certain animal carcasses. Unfortunately this diet even includes pollution , like plastics, and that is the main threat to this animal. Unlike the nomuras jellyfish, the giant squid often grows and reproduces slowly, when food is scarce. They can live for up to five years or even more. If food is abundant they will grow faster and reproduce slightly quicker and eventually die out after reproducing. These squids will eventually eat their mates after mating(like mantises).
