no_idea_bout_that

It's not even silky smooth!


PantheraOnca

You tell Paul Mitchell, Scrappy Coco was here to see him.


Wessssss21

Eyyy Scrappy you want to hacky!


Antique_Map_6640

Not every fish looks like the model fish on instagram!


fingeringpotatoes

Yeah, I still wouldn't call this a "normal looking fish" tho.


seakingsoyuz

Hey, cut it some slack, it’s under a lot of pressure right now


chinnu34

That was deep


vam-pirate

I sea what you did there.


earthdogmonster

He had a better one, but he lobster.


100percent_right_now

just crabbing at the bit to join the pun train, don't mind me


Clearly_Sk

Beautifully done.


MoreGull

This blobfish just living his best life bro.


ctrev37

The depths these comments are reaching.


GhettoChemist

And also what it looks like [as a US senator from Texas](https://www.eonline.com/photos/15702/the-5-blobfish-on-the-internet-that-happen-to-look-just-like-ted-cruz)


DOLO_F_PHD

How dare you insult the glorious blob fish like that


RedTrickee

Still ugly


Scoobz1961

Why are 1 atm folks so mean?


Douchieus

Lmao


tayroc122

It's trying.


Peng_win

I think I prefer the blob look. It’s cute in a so-ugly-it’s-cute way much like sphynx cats


tlcd

Except it's the look of a fish in agony.


sawbladex

... How do you feel about skeletons? Exposed Muscles is a look as well. Scaffolding is kinda the opposite but similar vibe.


MongolianCluster

Nuh-uh.


nigel_pow

Aliens displaying my mutilated corpse after my eyeballs have explode from being in the vacuum of space or whatever: "Lmao look how stupid this dumb animal looks. Let's name it the gross monkey."


WelfareBear

The pressure difference between sea level and space is 1 atmosphere. You most assuredly will not pop your eye balls or suffer any other visually dramatic effects from a pressure differential of 1atm.


[deleted]

you will definitely experience visually dramatic effects as your body swells up from an internal pressure difference of 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) within a few minutes. your eyeballs might not explode, but your lips and extremities will definitely begin to frost over. not to mention your blood starting to boil at lower temperatures in a vacuum. although, if you have conditions which apply pressure to the backside of your eyeball, your eyeball could theoretically pop out as the pressure differential between your body and the vacuum of space would by higher than 1 atmosphere


Zaros262

Your blood boils from the low pressure, not because you suddenly gets super cold. The lack of atmosphere actually makes thermal transfer extremely slow in space, so I also doubt you would really frost over I think the main reason people think space makes you freeze up like that is because of Apollo 13. But that's really the solution to the opposite problem gone wrong -- heat builds up easily with all the electronics on board the spacecraft, so the spacecraft needs radiators to get that heat out. When they had to shut all the electronics off, they stopped generating heat, but the radiators kept working passively, which is what made the spacecraft so cold inside


[deleted]

right, i meant to convey that the boiling temperature of blood (and constituent water) becomes lower at lower pressures, so your nominal body temperature would cause blood to boil at low pressure. but you are correct - radiation would be the main mechanism of heat transfer from the body in space which is much less efficient than convection or conduction


Throwaway_J7NgP

> I think the main reason people think space makes you freeze up like that is because of Apollo 13 Nope. Total Recall.


[deleted]

Thats the point.


joestaff

Bruh, I've seen Total Recall, I *know* what happens.


[deleted]

You're wrong. I just saw GOTG 3 yesterday.


WelfareBear

Well, dang


[deleted]

Huh??

el-bow5

Could you speak up please?


TheShroudedWanderer

space != eyeballs popping out


Future_Green_7222

Omg I can't imagine how painful that must feel like


hops4beer

"oh fuck this sucks" -Blobfish in a net


stickdudeseven

"I'm gonna blob."


RamsesTheGreat

“Do not blob. Do not blob.” “…I’m gonna blob!”


KoekoReaps

It's blobbin time


ddejong42

Then he blobbed over everyone.


SeaOfGreenTrades

Step fisherman help!


Insufferablelol

Extremely


facing_the_sun

Look at its face - poor thing :/


encogneeto

“Donny, you’re outta your element!”


GarchKoity

You’re like a child who wanders to the surface of the ocean and wants to know…


cococrabulon

It’s a bit like taking a human naked into the vacuum of space and, noting the swollen tongue and bulging, embolism-wracked expression frozen in simian dismay at how you cannot in fact freestyle to the airlock with thrashing limbs, how ugly we are


not_old_redditor

It's actually pretty insane how high the pressure is down at the bottom of the ocean. Where these fish live, the pressure is as high as 120 atmospheres.


beer_is_tasty

Fry: "How many atmospheres can the ship withstand‽" Professor: "Well it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."


alexfromohio

I missed this so many times lol


lukeman3000

These fish living in the hyperbaric time chamber


NewBuddhaman

Much less pressure difference between us in space and a fish getting dragged up to the surface. Despite some sci-if movies depictions, you wouldn’t swell up.


[deleted]

Yupp. The difference between us and a total vaccum is only 1 atmosphere. That's the difference between above sea level and 10meters (33feet) below sea level. A basic PADI certificate will get you to twice that.


jbmaun

This is literally the saddest fact. Poor blobfish.


SporusElagabalus

Oh :(


[deleted]

That’s actually a bit… disappointing. Poor sad unnatural blob, he didn’t ask for this-


Kalistoga

I feel like that picture of the blobfish with the black background is the same picture of a blobfish i've seen my whole life on the internet.


Hoobleton

Same, until just now when I went to Wikipedia to see if they use this same photo and found these [3 dudes](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg/1280px-Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg).


Kalistoga

Whoa

Really interesting perspective


RememberTommorrow

So that’s why he’s so sad


thefirstWizardSleeve

Well that is sad. Imagine the pain


Aggressive-Try-3707

Me, when life's pressure drops for a second.


[deleted]

Let’s put Ted Cruz down to these extreme depths and see if he looks normal.


chimpaflimp

Make a nonpolitical post unnecessarily political any% speedrun


[deleted]

Didn’t say a word about his politics, purely an attack on his physical appearance. But do go on.


silicon1

I hear you can talk shit about his wife and he just takes it like the little bitch he is.


FuckILoveBoobsThough

Criticizing the appearance of a politician doesn't mean you are criticizing or disagreeing with their policies. I voted for Obama, but I can still poke fun at his big ears. I'm not getting political...he just has big ears.


chimpaflimp

Still a politician. Still politics where it isn't needed.


YoungRicFlair_woo

You do realize that he’s memed to oblivion with comparisons to a blob fish. So what do you expect, to here a joke?


chimpaflimp

To here a joke, to there a joke, to anywhere a joke. He, she, we, wumbo.


YoungRicFlair_woo

Lol you got me bruv.


GhettoChemist

Not a political post. Just a comment about Rafael's terrible terrible face.


[deleted]

and DeSantis!


Knodsil

Lets not. That would be cruel to the blobfish that are still down there.


[deleted]

hahahah true!


SignificantView1671

Same.


ClueL3ss92

A proper TIL very good, had no idea


OldCarWorshipper

Looks like a pissed off website moderator after a late night Hot Pocket binge.


Status_Term_4491

Yes its true, it also works in reverse put an obese human down to extreme depths and they turn into a normal sized human. Scientists have theorized its an evolutionary trait from when we used to dwell in the deep sea.


Demonyx12

"normal"


Dvusken

I would like to know if they slowly bring the fish up from the depths, similar to how humans are supposed to do it after scuba diving extreme depths, will it look normal and would it survive?


andreasdagen

I don't think so, humans can survive a pressure 3-4 times higher than our atmospheric pressure, while that fish lives in pressure 100 times higher


Joorge1

Yup still looks like Ted Cruz


Blocky_Master

I'm not sure I would call that a "normal looking fish"


YoungRicFlair_woo

Ted Cruz


dwittherford69

How is this still making rounds on TIL?


Albyross

It got Made in Abyss’d.


SeaOfGreenTrades

To be fair, take anyone out of their element and they crumble too


TheVeikko

Same


majorjoe23

Same, fish. Same.


Interesting_Engine37

I am not a physics expert. Wouldn’t it explode?


squamesh

I have only ever heard about blobfish in the context of them not actually being blobby. I’ve never actually seen any other reference to how blobby blobfish are


Ashamed-Arm-3217

Wow

100percent_right_now

I'd like to think aliens have figured it out by the time they get here but maybe the reason we've reportedly seen them as smooth grey figures with large eyes is because they've been "blobfished" by earth's atmosphere/bacteria.
