Makes you wonder if you’re blobby because you’re in the wrong environment.
How can it be in pain, and be a corpse?
Why not use both and turn it into a 2 panel meme?
Me when I have water
Me when I’m a human living in the modern world
So I don’t need to lose weight, I just need to live somewhere with 1,470 psi of pressure.
Then you need to gain bone structure
What worst, is i found the depiction in children’s book. It’s kinda sad the myth doesn’t get corrected as much because people justify it as entire different thing.
In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies
i will never see butterfly depictions the same again
Didn’t see that coming. In retrospect, I should have noticed that a long time ago… Thanks for the info
Interesting!
Thanks for making me one of the 10000 today
Damnit, I’m going to see this everywhere now, aren’t I?
Yep.
You’re welcome.
Is kerning the spacing between letters?
Between any typographical characters, but yeah, basically 🙂
I can’t wait to ruin this for every single person I know going forward. Thanks!
Neat, the alive ones look way more similar to moths.
Oh wow, thats very interesting!
I mean, they’re still kinda goofy looking when alive.
“Wait don’t take the photo I’m not rea…”
Are you reading this, ConcernedApe??
I feel like if there’s anyone out there who would use this new information to make right by the Blobfish, it’s him.
Maybe those blobfish are magic. I’ll hope for them!
Aliens do an Earth drive by, use a tractor beam to yank a human specimen through the mesosphere, log the name of the species as blisterface and fly away.
Remembers me…
Boris Johnson?
Can we. for once, not bring Trump into everything?
But he’s mentioned in the fish’s name.
He looked so much younger then.
From the thumbnail I thought this was a naked ass
But a photo of a normal-looking fish has extremely limited entertainment value.
I wish people brought this energy to the meat industry
The name information is incorrect.
Psychrolutes is the genus, not the species.
Psychrolutes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Psychrolutidae, the fatheads and toadfishes. […] There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus
The binomial name of the blobfish is Psychrolutes marcidus. But realistically, “binomial name” is not always the same as “proper name”. There are a lot of animals whose common names include misconceptions, or even insults. Just look at the information about Psychrolutidae (that’s the Family) above. “Fatheads” sounds insulting, and “Toadfishes” aren’t toads.
I wouldn’t have even bothered looking this up, except that the artist wrote the “proper name” so poorly that I first read it as “Psychrd Lutes”. And the second reading, I misread as “Psychiro Lutes”, due to the weird “R” that looks like none of their other Rs. I read it correctly the third time, but I have to wonder at the wisdom of not writing it clearly when you’re trying to emphasize how it is spelled.
That’s not entirely correct either, because apparently “blobfish” can also refer to the wider Psychrolutidae family, also known as fathead sculpins, meaning that other species from the Psychrolutidae family get referred to as “blobfish”. So blobfish != exclusively Psychrolutes marcidus, which makes OP’s post more accurate than your comment.
This was news to me, thanks for sharing this OP.
Stardew valley lied to me!
Stardew lied a lot lol. Starfruit for example, only looks like a star in cross section, but i guess the actual starfruit is hard to represent in pixel.
I always assumed the Stardew starfruit was a special fruit that just happens to share a name with our starfruit.
true. I think the star representation is fine because eating it the slices are basically stars so its valid artistic license.
as for blobfish, u can argue its dead when u catch it but aquarium and ponds exist so that’s kinda sus
This is a “you” vs “the guy she tells you not to worry about” meme format
