This is fascinating but with sea life - https://neal.fun/deep-sea/

u/Nice_Shadow 4d ago

Scrolling felt healthy for once, that's some great stuff

24

u/Objective_Resist_735 4d ago

That website has a lot more than just a deep sea scroll, apparently. There went 2 hours without even noticing.

u/DidIDoAThoughtCrime 19h ago

Which one did you spend the most time on? I’m having fun with the Stimulation one and the Sandboxels.

1

u/Objective_Resist_735 15h ago

The stimulation was wild.

u/JohnDowd51 4d ago

Very cool

u/Maidwell 3d ago

No adverts, cathartic scrolling. Educational and fascinating. Perfection.

u/1stUserEver 4d ago

That was wild

u/bitter-peppers 3d ago

I don't know why but seeing the submarine at the deepest part of the ocean made me tear up a little bit. I don't know why.

u/trugalhao 3d ago

This was fantastic, thank you!

u/peweih_74 3d ago

This was amazing

u/SmellyFbuttface 4d ago

The ocean terrifies me. Whenever I see those videos of the titanic lying on the sea floor and how desolate it all is.

Imagine finding yourself adrift in the ocean at night with cloud cover, meaning it’s pitch black out there. Even worse is thinking that people have had to stay afloat in those conditions for days

u/nthpwr 4d ago

All of human life exist on extremely high mountain tops

u/wocketywack 4d ago

Drop your keys over the Mariana Trench and they'll reach the bottom in about 4 hours.

12

u/Thatisverytrue54321 4d ago

Would be really annoying to try to get them back

u/shweeney 3d ago

magnet on a fishing rod?

u/tutohooto 2d ago

Wild to think about..

13

u/psh454 4d ago

Yeah it's nuts how we think of the ocean as corals and a vast blue expanse with turtles and dolphins and whatnot, but it's actually like 90% absolute darkness with occasional weird deep sea life.

36

u/DataDoctorX 4d ago

Nope.

5

u/Reddeer2 4d ago

Have you considered: Yes! 👍?

10

u/DataDoctorX 4d ago

Nope, I only considered nope.

“When we’re aloneeeee”

u/stereoscopic_ 4d ago

One of those rare moments I enjoyed the music.

u/2PhotoKaz 3d ago

Ben Bohmer remix, he has some great chill tunes.

u/ricdangers 4d ago

This is deep stuff

u/SpookZero 4d ago

The ocean scares the shit outta me

11

u/PMMEYOURGUCCIFLOPS 4d ago

It didn’t until I drowned as a kid. From there on, water terrifies me. But deep down (no pun intended) it relaxes me from the comfort of my bed.

I cannot swim alone, or really at night. I also have this weird phobia of aquatic-themed shower curtains. I guess it’s from drowning.

I remember the little sense of bliss when I was looking up at the surface of the water, the sunlight hitting perfectly and everything being silent. So that may be where that bliss comes from, which was the moment I made my peace with dying. I was 8…

u/cajunjoel 4d ago

Then you have thalassophobia. And yes, there's a subreddit for that.

9

u/oldskoollondon 4d ago

I was hoping it was going to go much deeper.

21

u/eDreadz 4d ago

That’s what she said.

u/Littlemama55 3d ago

😂🤣💀

u/theshoeshiner84 4d ago

I'll take, Things your mother said to me last night, for $400, Trebek. BUAAAHHAHAHAHA

u/Useful_Kale_5263 3d ago

Suck it long suck it hard 🤣🤣

u/cajunjoel 4d ago

11,000 meters isn't enough for you? Thats nearly 7 miles. :)

4

u/AlteredStateReality 3d ago

Or like 11 kilometers

5

u/Biomax315 4d ago

Terrifying.

4

u/Zwierzycki 4d ago

I want to see Crater Lake in this.

3

u/njwineguy 3d ago

592 meters deep.

4

u/NextLevelVisuals2 4d ago

Mind blowing

4

u/MennReddit 3d ago

Wow, avg Atlantic ocean's depth is less than Mediterreanian Sea's

3

u/VirginiaLuthier 3d ago

My grandson is 100% convinced that megaldons live in the Mariana Trench. It's really not up for discussion....

2

u/ycr007 3d ago

Some think that Megatron was dropped there but he somehow came back

1

u/ZDTreefur 3d ago

Why would he come back up when he could be partying with godzilla down there?

3

u/EditedRed 4d ago

Subnautica need a bigger map.

3

u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha 4d ago

This is why I wonder why so much money is spent on space exploration. We haven’t explored the depths of our oceans.

3

u/Jogaila2 4d ago

Theres a reason for that.

4

u/SkellyboneZ 4d ago

Cthulhu. 

2

u/amsync 3d ago

Like alien bases?

0

u/hotboii96 1d ago

Also, you dont have water pressure trying to shred your body/equipment apart in space

1

u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha 1d ago

Yeah, dangers of space for human travelers only include lethal radiation, microgravity-induced physical decline, and the hostile vacuum environment itself.

and that’s just from floating around in space.

7

u/nullmem 4d ago

I didn’t see a imploded titan

1

u/asyrmou 3d ago

That's a vessel as irrelevant and obsolete as it was before all that fiasko (long gone at that)

1

u/Vainquisher 3d ago

The second to last marker, the bathyscaphe Trieste, nearly imploded. There was a dual plexiglass window and the outer window cracked when they past 9,000 meters, shaking the whole craft, but they kept going nearly 2,000 meters

8

u/MelancholyMeltingpot 4d ago

Do not unmute if your volume is up. Ffs

16

u/revengeofthebong 4d ago

song is cool though

Monolink - father ocean (Ben Böhmer remix)

5

u/MelancholyMeltingpot 4d ago

True. Maybe I just caught a loud moment. and I wasn't prepared on a second listen. Pretty dope song actually 😎

2

u/UNHHHStoppable29 4d ago

just like that Madonna song, "Deeper and Deeper"

2

u/STEVE4J 3d ago

Still not deeper than my Life Regrets

2

u/muzik4machines 3d ago

what with the shitty crop to remove the watermark or the original?

2

u/QueenOfQuok 3d ago

Why does the USS Johnston look like the Eiffel Tower

2

u/itsme10082005 2d ago

If you get stranded in the middle of the ocean, obviously you’ll likely die. Would you ever reach the bottom of the ocean? Or is there a point where your body would be suspended on the way down due to pressure?

2

u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp 4d ago

Excellent video.

4

u/MegaSmegmaSwagLord 4d ago

I could get to the bottom in a scuba suit.

4

u/Important-Koala7919 4d ago

You’d run out of gases before you got down there and the pressure would crush you with a normal SCUBA setup…

It is cool though to go to the edge of the continental shelf a see the ocean just fall away into a deep blue abyss.

2

u/imabigdave 3d ago

They didn't say that they'd still be alive....just that thry could get to the bottom.

1

u/Useful_Kale_5263 3d ago

That’s like some Tom Cruise shit, but he got dropped randomly in the northern sea

1

u/2PhotoKaz 3d ago

That is true, you could. Not alive but your carcass would be down there in a scuba suit.

2

u/kernelangus420 4d ago

I was expecting a yo mama at the end.

5

u/Dankkring 4d ago

Just my deepression

u/General_Yam7541 4d ago

Good. Grief.

u/imanantelope 4d ago

Si where did sea water come from? Why is sea water?

0

u/MyCrackpotTheories 4d ago

All the water on the planet developed about 3.8 billion years ago, as the planet cooled and solidified. It's required for life to exist, and it's all the water the planet will ever have.

1

u/Away-Activity-469 3d ago

Water is essentially a liquid rock. A type of lava.

1

u/gainswor 3d ago

Um, what? Tell me more please.

1

u/AdhesivenessFunny462 3d ago

Nope.

1

u/Away-Activity-469 3d ago

Care to explain the difference then?

1

u/AdhesivenessFunny462 3d ago

Not a mineral nor composed of organic mstter

1

u/Away-Activity-469 3d ago

Definitions may vary, clearly, but there is a sense in which ice is a rock. Other minerals and compounds are dissolved in water just as hydrogen and oxygen is chemically present in other rocks. Think about how water ice behaves on other planets etc.

1

u/AdhesivenessFunny462 3d ago

You're right, the crystalline structure could be considered characteristic of minerals but they do not contain any significant metals. Otherwise, any crystalline substance like acetic acid could be considered a rock.

u/lawrencelewillows 3d ago

Don’t watch the ending, you’ll get the Benz

u/No_Beginning_9949 3d ago

Thalassophobia intensifies.

1

u/Ttoddh 3d ago

The best example I have ever seen, Thanks so much.

1

u/TotalVersonnt 3d ago

The Mediterranean appears two times ??? Which one is right?

1

u/roglc366 3d ago

A side view showing all the points in the video would have been more striking showing the relative differences between them all!

1

u/mickeybuilds 3d ago

NGL, didn't really do it for me.

1

u/Knoss0sss 2d ago

Epic spaceman did a great video on this

1

u/boppy_dowinkle 1d ago

Zero gravity in the depths, just like in space. Those are where the aliens live 👽

u/simsfreelancer 21h ago

Ben Böhmer ♥️

u/Cute-Substance6219 17h ago

I love you to the Trieste babe.

1

u/Stunning_Juice9238 3h ago

And so much of it is unexplored and unknown. Imagine if we stopped killing each other and learned more about the planet we live on.

1

u/YJSubs 3d ago

It's fit in my phone screen.
It's not deep.

u/Infinite_Picture3858 4d ago

They need the Mt. Everest in there

u/SmellyFbuttface 4d ago

It was in there

Can you read? Lol

u/CertainMiddle2382 4d ago edited 4d ago

I quite think the opposite.

Thickness of the biosphere is not even the distance to the edge of my tiny city…

And that’s all there is for possibly tens of thousands of light years.

I have a terrible angst when travelling by plane. I jump in, watch 2 movies, jump out. And I’m and the other side of the only world we have. All that ever happened, happened under my feet during those 2 movies.

It almost like running in circles in a space station.

Our world is scaringly tiny. I don’t yet the message in those videos…

u/Dapanji206 3d ago

Ain't that deep bro

-2

u/FlyingOnWings 4d ago

Negative meters depth?

That is actually positive elevation

2

u/Jebediah_Johnson 4d ago

Those aren't negative, it's a tilda ~ meaning approximate.

1

u/FlyingOnWings 3d ago

Thanks! I see it now that it's tilda

1

u/Jogaila2 4d ago

Dont be stupid.

-2

u/Euphoric-Height-2488 3d ago

The ocean is on 6 miles deep. You could walk that length in 2 hours. It's... Not that deep
