Perhaps one of the biggest fish tragedies of all time is that tunas, the large, fast, powerful apex predators of the open ocean that have evolved to be perfectly hydrodynamic thanks to millions of years of evolution, with fins that can be retracted into grooves in the body for maximum smoothness, which can heat up their swimming muscles and brains and eyes to become even more efficient hunters, who are in fact several species of fish, the largest of which (Atlantic bluefin) can reach four meters in length and rivals the marlins in being the largest perciform fish.....
....are just kinda known as a food item by most people. Like cod, this animal should be a symbol of raw power and speed, not fish dinner time
Greetings to everyone and anyone who sees my post! My name is Pumpkin Patch!
Blue Province is a cozy indie game set in a town destined to be sacrificed to the chaos deity! It's art style is inspired by Gameboy games. The game is character focused, and takes place over five days.
It's going to be pretty short, likely around an hour long. I am a decent percent through the making of the game, and I hope to soon put out a trailer and a demo for it!

you know you've hit a new low when you become sad and jealous reading about a pair being close and loving together because you would never have something like that
Divers free a Megamouth shark from a fishing net in Tateyama Bay.
The Megamouth is a large deep-sea shark, rarely seen by people. Despite reaching a considerable adult size of 4m-5.2m, they are the smallest of the filter-feeding sharks, which includes the Basking Shark and the Whale Shark.. Their large mouths are lined with bioluminescent photophores, which are thought to attract plankton and fish to the slow-moving shark.

to all my researchers, students and people in general who love learning: if you don't know this already, i'm about to give you a game changer
connectedpapers
the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you're looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!
for example: here i search "human B12"
i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of "b12 levels" and "fraility syndrome"
here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it's position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)
you get a few free graphs a month before you have to sign up, and i think the free version gives you up to 5 a month. there are paid versions but it really depends how often you need to use this kinda thing.
I was thinking recently about how "alt" subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything
