Why I’d Throat a Cactus Before I Go In The Ocean .... " ditto "

Like a lot of you know I've developed sort of a phobia for the ocean and discovering some of the "creatures" down there is straight up nightmare fueled

The reason why the ocean is way scarier than outer space is because we know for sure that the deep ocean is not devoid of life.

[@Vincisomething]

I don't know if dying in the ocean or dying in space would be worse- especially the deep ocean. Either way, there's probably no one out who can save you, but at best, it'll probably take seconds to die or at least fall unconscious. Something about someone floating away helplessly in space to never be seen or being in the middle of the ocean (at the surface or in the deep) with no sight of land around you creeps me out.

[@mxnokuma4335]

​@Vincisomething Oh space will kill you in the most painful way possible. You're basically slowly exploding from the inside.

@voidragongork Completely overshadowed by the thousands of years of people being lost at sea

[@ghostdragon2282]

@@Vincisomething both of them are the same in that you're either lost, stuck in something that keeps you alive while drifting away, or you die fast the moment they fail

[@mongeau98]

@@Vincisomething The low pressure would initially boil off most of the water and what was left would freeze, halting any biological processes. Depending on the trajectory of the corpse, there might be some warming from the side facing the Sun, but all this would do is accelerate the rate of water loss, leaving only a dried husk.

Funnily enough, I used Subnautica as exposure therapy. Though it did take me days to leave the shallow reef area.

The more I learn about the ocean the more convinced I am that Lovecraft was onto something... And about the cone snails the really messed up part is that each one has a different cocktail of toxins so two snails of the same species can have completely different venom, hence why there is no antidote.

[@KraniumZzZz]

I absolutely love casual geography, hes so fucking funny and so creative with his euphemisms

[@raymurray3401]

Casual geographic has great content and his use of references tho usually quite dark make it so much more entertaining to watch and actually learn something. Still amazes me how he manages to actually track down all this information.

[@Vincisomething]

I remember when I was a kid on vacation with my family, we were by a lake and my dad told me about a lady who got paralyzed just by stepping on something in the water. New achievement! Thalassophobia unlocked.

[@ShadowFox178]

I recall that people are studying the dynamics of the Manta Rays filter feeding as it requires no physical filters just hydro dynamics to filter particulates. Interesting technology coming from the ocean. Oh as for cone snails. They have a very unique system that allows them to on the fly create venom as needed per situation. Like on the fly chemistry distillation. Brady Haron from Numberphile interviewed a toxicologist from Australia about it. Both the cone snail and the stone fish were main topics.

[@leoaskham6564]

Just wanted to point out that 'Big fin' thing is basically like a ghost leviathan and we're the player: •We (probably) both see the juvenile one first with no idea of their full size. •We know little to nothing about them. •They're only found in hardly accessible locations. •They look like aliens.

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

I tried the whole "contront your fears about the ocean" to get over my thalassophobia and if anything it just made things worse because it just made me realise my fear of the ocean is 100% justified, and anyone who doesn't fear the ocean or what it contains are the real ones with issues.

[@navoral]

Ay, ay, ay, woah, woah. Chill, chill. Just because some people love the ocean don't mean shit. After all, we're pretty fucking curious almost everything. You know the saying put a group of men unsupervised and there's a cookie in the floor, poison and whatnot and nobody told the men. You know damm well one of them will pretty much eat it.

[@brigidtheirish]

@@navoral Hell, even if they do know it's poison, at least one of them is going to dare another to eat it, anyway.

[@navoral]

@@brigidtheirish oh shit, i didn't thought of that. Yeah, that's the absolute truth. God, why are we so simple creatures and yet we still hell on earth living.

Out of personal curiosity, have you looked into the sheer extent of bioluminescence in the deep sea? Fascinating and beautiful stuff.

[@14megasxlr]

Hey, Player 3 isn't a cuck, he's just a good wingman!

[@abaddon7558]

Manta Rays are also doing migration, but there is catch they are using underwater "milestones" to find their way, like on a tresor map "after that moutain turn left to North-East until you reach the coral forest, etc", I remember seeing a picture of two Mantas swiming near a poity rock that bottom disapeared in the ocean deepness, and I thought "oh wow they are like planes before GPS came in, or space ships in sci fi settings having to go from one solar system to an other...", probably one of the coolest sea creature, that and the hammer and pistol shrimps (first one is just fabulous)

[@brigidtheirish]

The mantis shrimp is, to quote The Oatmeal, "Ghengis Khan bathed in sherbet ice cream." It is "the harbinger of blood-soaked rainbows." This kind of shit is why the ocean is one of my favorite places to *never visit.*

[@arubatorion_]

the existence of box jellies clues me in that I will never feel safe in the ocean ever

[@brigidtheirish]

Just avoid Australia. And most of the Pacific.

[@highwindknight]

3:53 That's not all. Think about it. He also gets bathed in the unused 360 baby batter spillover. And yes, I agree. I'd rather throat a cactus. To begin with, I can use a knife to safely cut off all the sharp spines off a cactus. These things I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near them without risking serious injury or death.

[@brigidtheirish]

The thing with the term "black smokers" is I'm pretty sure they're a specific *kind* of hydrothermal vent.

[@katjosephperez8772]

I like that you called manta rays the big brothers of sting rays, just because it feels fitting that the older/bigger sibling is more self-aware and calmer while the little bro is an aggressive jackass getting in high school fights

[@hmmmooops]

I saw some of these in documentaries as a kid and every time I felt even mild discomfort on my feet in the ocean I thought I stepped on a rockfish and my life was over. Fortunately, I wasn't a smart enough kid to care so I kept having fun in the sea.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Lot of people talking about Thalassophobia, can we just take a moment to contemplate the mindset of the demon who thought it was funny to have Google display images of a searched phobia as one of the first results... Like if you search "phobia of roaches" just trying to learn the overly complicated names typical of phobias (ironically the phobia of long words is an extra long word) then it'll tell you it's Katsaridaphobia but then also display like 6 images of roaches directly under it with no warning.

[@knightofwisdom8851]

This is why ocean IS the abyss

[@DeHerg]

Why would you be "called out" for calling them black smokers? They literally release black smoke! Is this one of those, the Internet loves to play offended, things?

[@davidwalker5990]

When it comes to the ocean don't confront your fears, just accept them...

[@Monsux]

I used to love the ocean when I was a kid. More knowledge my brain gathered about the ocean, more terified I'm for it. In the mean time, I did cure my fear of snakes and spiders, but the ocean scare the sh*t out of me.

I can stay out of the ocean, but I am not cool with hippos just existing. As a kid, I was able to mimic the voice of the little girl singing “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.” I liked it, and my family thought it was very cute.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Casual Geographic is amazing. He has a way with euphemisms. My favorite of his is "A one way ticket into God's Recently Deleted folder."

I'm in the navy, so I have more experience with Poseidons grudge than most. Having a fear of the ocean is a good thing, for fear breeds respect. If you don't respect the ocean, it will make sure you regret your choices

[@TheChillzoneX]

Okay, that would be funny

[@Maruun1986]

If evolution is true, i can totaly understand why we left the ocean in the first place...

[@Juanito_Pecados]

Maybe im the weird one, buy i never quite understood the fear of ocean creatures. Most are pretty chill and quite harmless unless youre being super dumb. The vast majority just look ugly and the really dangerous ones tend to be near beaches rather than in the ocean itself, on top of not being interested in attacking humans at all. (Also, iirc, is more or less debatable if whales would really kill you with sound, given that sound travells differently in water [faster, not necesarilly stronger], on top of the fact that whales actually make less noise when humans are nearby. They can still mess your eardrumbs tho)

[@inkshift_asrielva6083]

and you wonder why we don't send people down in a full suit of armor. oh wait.

[@lukasruston8618]

Damn, they didn't even talk about the Angler fish... sure, it looks horrifying but it isn't really big enough to be a threat to humans (the area around it is more of a threat to human life than it is just because of how deep in the ocean it lives) but then I found out that when they mate, they literally fuse themselves together... yeah, I haven't seen what that looks like and I'd rather keep it that way!

[@brigidtheirish]

And while the biggest ones still aren't large enough to be a physical threat to humans, they're still a *lot* larger than most people expect.

A vast majority of sci-fi aliens are based off things that come from the ocean. The ocean has a lot in common with space when you think about with how inhospitable and unfit for human life it is with one exception: things live in the ocean making it infinitely more terrifying than space.

Clip at 3:44...!: *"and friendly reminder, almost every area monster story ever told was about a whale's p3nis"* A'ight point taken, NOW I KNOW. Or everyone now knows. So either sailors of the old are either disturbed with "whale exhibitionism" or being metaphorical... And also jealous that whale's "assets" are bigger than theirs, and I think that's why whalers hunted them down Jesus Christ if that were true, then sailors back then are the pettiest of the petty. Also didn't know you listen to slipknot

[@katjosephperez8772]

I think the cuck whale is more of a ride-or-die wingman. My guess is that whales being mammals has something to do with it. Like needing air or something to do with water pressure and regulating their organs to be able to dive deep and float up
