I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven't seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka "raptures of the deep"

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

Guys stop posting so much good art you're making me wanna reblog it all

Dear Followers and Mutuals, if you come across this, should I make a separate blog for my Politics and Arguments? My blog is mostly lighthearted stuff but after my posts about the Israel-Palestine conflict, I can see how that can feel out of place here.

the blog killing axolotl is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on this website because talking about it afterwards sounds like an inside joke or perhaps a prank. like always be on the lookout for the blog killing axolotl. he can kill your blog. it happened to me once trust me.

hey do you remember that time you talked about those Silicon Valley freaks who want to genetically rewrite animals and humanity via AI? unfortunately it looks like a research lab was just founded for this exact purpose and is being funded by a former Google exec, it's called "Future House" and its goal is to "build an AI scientist" by performing LLM-generated "experiments" on living organisms (they have a wet lab), they also call biology a "playground". literally a giant nightmare in the making

Their mission statement includes somehow drawing comparisons to video games, like Minecraft so I get the strong feeling almost nobody involved is a real biologist of any actual integrity or legitimate experience and odds are exceptionally high that perhaps whatever they try to make will destroy them all or otherwise just be so irresponsible and terrible they'll all end up destitute or in prison. I'm willing to bet they'll attempt some pretty unethical things before they get any comeuppance, though, like Elon Musks's fucking monkey brain experiments. :(
