When a whale dies and its corpse falls to the bottom of the ocean, entire ecosystems rapidly develop around eating every part of it due to how scarce resources are in the deep ocean. This phenomenon is called a "whale fall" and it's a major source of energy for deep ocean ecosystems.

Sometimes I wonder if a shipping container full of billionaires would have a similar effect.

I mean everything farts, right? What about a snail?

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

It's a delicacy in France. Escargot de poopoo

Due to their plant-based diet, I can imagine that snails fart a lot.

I, for one, think it’s completely fucking reasonable to afraid of deep, dark water. Phobia my ass.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

Some phobias are irrational but that's not part of the meaning of the word

Norwegian fjords are freaking deep. When you're on the shore of Sognefjord, you're standing in front of a 1300m deep canyon filled with ocean water.

We are killing the ocean by increasingly acidifying it. This has been known by scientists for decades.

But have you thought of the benefit? Free club soda!

Sharks are older than trees and the north star.

[–] alakazam@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And some living sharks are more than 200 years old, probably.

Earth's atmosphere is an ocean of gas. The ocean is an atmosphere of liquid. Words are made up.
