Rare 'supergiant' crustaceans pulled from depths of sea

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's evil!! Evil! Evil! Evil!

Did you not just hear what @Vulpes Abnocto Said?
So on topic, was this thought to be extinct?

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

*singing*
It's okay to fish, 'cause they don't have any feelings....

Zerosuit: Not extinct. They simply weren't known to exist at all, at this size. Much like the colossal squid.

 

[smile72]

To be fair it's proven that fish have feelings. To say they don't is like saying a human doesn't have any feelings. Or isn't afraid when you kill them. On topic I hope to one day pet it.

I know, I know, and they've been shown to have the capacity to learn and a longer memory than mere seconds as it was once thought.

Just had to mess with you since we found a nerve.

Nirvana fans will get the joke.

@[member='smile72'], this should help. (To clarify: I completely understand why someone might choose to be a vegetarian or vegan. Calling the practice of eating meat "evil", though, is a step too far in my book).

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone who found this thing made a "We're going to need a bigger boat" joke.

Poor shrimp. Let it go.

I understand the food chain. But you would think an animal were bad if it ate a human, if a lions mauls a human to death it's put down because, it's "bad" or "violent". I think fish are cute.

The only fish I wouldn't kill is a dolphin, they are intelligent. I would never kill anything intelligent, meaning apparently I can kill @[member='tagzard']

I think most times a single lion killing isn't responded to by killing the lion. That's mainly in cases of rogue lions killing humans for sport.

 

[smile72]

It depends where it happens, if they kill a tourist, its normally the end for them. Poor lion.

 

[Valwin]

i would kill any animal if it means it would help in anyway

If it is put down (And it all depends on where this happens, too. I don't think there are many Ahabs willing to run through the plains of Africa to take vengeance on one lion, to use your example), it's only done to ensure the safety and well being of other human beings who are threatened by the presence of this animal. That seems pretty logical to me.

 

[smile72]

I just said that Gahars. It depends also if it's a native and a tourist.

a dolphin is not a fishie, it is a mammal so it's totally ok to murder, just kidding don't murder dolphins you idiot.

Dolphins aren't fish, they're mammals like humans.

On topic tho, I do believe there's a lot of mystery in the ocean, just like the space is a vast unknown, there is still plenty we don't know about the seas and it's creatures, there are some really deep parts of the sea, and most submarines (dunno if there even exists one), can't really reach the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean, in those parts it's much colder and darker than normal (it could be warm tho, but that'd be if there were any underwater volcanos near eruption.
Seeing as it's so dark and cold at the bottom, we have to wonder what kinda of creatures live there, they'll most likely be mutated forms of fish we already know or something like it.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

and most submarines (dunno if there even exists one), can't really reach the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean,

The Trieste made it there, barely.
It's certainly not somewhere we visit on a regular basis.

 

[smile72]

zerosuit connor would you kill a pig? They're very intelligent! Yuyuyup are you referring to me? i never said to kill dolphins. Although I'm not very fond of them.

 

[Gahars]

I just said that Gahars. It depends also if it's a native and a tourist.

Both posts were made at the exact same time. I was responding to your earlier post; I can't predict what you're going to say ahead of time.

Also... Wait, wait, wait. This hypothetical lion kills a human being, and all you have to say is "Poor lion"? Talk about a textbook case of misplaced priorities.

 

[smile72]

Not really, I like animals more than most humans. My priorities are my priorities.

The fact that they're your priorities doesn't make them any less poor or misplaced.
