Let's get a deep sea thread going
>>17190904
The fact that those things exists scare the living shit out of me.
>obligatory ocean depth to scale pic
I'd shit my shorts if I came across a fucking chair on the ocean floor.
>>17190925
Is there even a backstory to the chair photo? It always creeps me out whenever I'm on a deep sea thread.
>>17190952
It's just rubbish. So much junk ends up in the ocean and some of it actually makes it onto the ocean floor.
>>17191052
Thankfully that makes it less creepy for me, but it still has an unsettling look to it.
It's kinda funny how little we know about the bottem of the ocean.
>>17191082
It's a reminder that not even the deep dark and unseen depths of the ocean are safe from human pollution.
I feel like instead of exploring outer space, the ocean should be main priority.
>>17190925
Is it just not profitable to a company to build something that can withstand such pressure to explore as deep as possible, or just impossible? There has to be something that is strong enough to enclose a crazy strong light and a camera, even transmit back a live/delayed feed like from space? Does anyone know if there's anything in the making for the progression of super deep exploration?
>>17191149
Yeah, James Cameron (the director) has been to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in a mostly self funded submersible.

>>17191158 I want to watch this ASAP. Has there been any progress since 2012?
>>17191224
Yeah, he successfully completed the dive and stayed down longer than anyone else. They haven't tried since because the sub was destroyed in an accident.
>>17191092
THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THAT NIGGA
I wonder if there are any USOs (unidentified submerged objects) down there. Now that would be a scary thing to run into.
>>17191338
im sure theres lots
>>17191251
Damn just finished watching it. I hope they can eventually build another one and explore more, maybe even give him a bigger friggen window lol. In that short dive 68 new species were discovered. Imagine if they could stay down there for days and watch in silence? Very creepy, but this proves with the right minds and flowing funds ($35k a day he said?) we will be able to discover more! Oh and one question, do you know who was filming while at the bottom? Did they make two or something for the angles, or just leave a spare camera on the floor for those few shots?

Why has the titanic not been brought up to the surface?
>>17191131
Why?
>>17192002
wtf with these vids, ive seen one yesterday similar but way creepier, is this is some cult ?
>>17192065
why would they do that, i'm pretty sure it's been scavenged already.
>>17192065
it's not economical to do so, plus picking up tons of metal debrie from the bottom of the ocean isn't an easy task
>>17192002
what cult is this ?
creepy
>>17192024
>You will ride a T-rex Sea-Horse
>you will never see your male T-rex Sea-Horse give birth to a school of children.
>>17192065
Doing so would be one hell of a money pit and a hell of a labor and time consumer with not enough economic gain for the work to be considered. That's not even considering the safety risks of deep sea salvage. Plus no one cares about the Titanic, it's ancient history that modern people have no emotional connection to.
>>17193060
Back in the 90's when James Cameron's movie came out there might have been interest, but now? No way.
>>17191158
It never happened. It's a hoax.
>>17191251
accident, or "accident"?
>>17192086
Because the ocean is smaller, would take less to explore it than space (if humans ever really become so stupid to try to explore the whole space). We know less about the ocean than what we know about space. The ocean is right here on earth, we wouldnt need thousands of years of engineering to make ships to explore it, unlike space. Atlantis, Nessi and other creatures and mythos might be down there
>>17193748
Dealing with the no pressure environment of space is a lot easier than dealing with the hella high pressure environment of the ocean
>>17190924
if anything, it fascinates me beyond measure!
>>17191131
The NOAA does that, as well as many other agencies. Just because space is being explored, doesn't mean the oceans aren't.
>>17191131
you're not alone my friend :)
>>17192065
Oxidation on the surface would eat it up quick style my boy.
>>17193748
We need to make a ship to withstand any depths and conditions the oceans can throw at us. Then that's the ship you take into space. Reconfigured accordingly

Why? they're pretty harmless.
Are there any good deep sea creepy pastas? I ask this every time but never seem to get an answer.
>>17194460
As an offering for good deep sea pasta, here's some pics of huge stuff underwater. Don't know why that's so creepy to me but imagine just swimming around and seeing something huge emerge from the low visibility of the ocean
>>17194460
>Any "creepy pasta"
>Good
Try reading a book.

There's a few to start you out.
>>17194503
Thanks, will look into those.
>>17190904
I kind of want to hug that squid.

Why don't we just use magnets?

How much time it takes if you jump from the top of Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench's floor?
>>17194602
Has Milwaukee Deep (deepest trench in the Atlantic) been as thoroughly studied as Challenger Deep?
>>17194764
I've got a giant squid that you can hug ;)
>>17194481
This picture gave me a strange feeling...
>>17194764
Why?
>>17193748
>>>17192086
>We know less about the ocean than what we know about space.
No we know more about the moon than we do the ocean, not all of space.
anyone got any worth watching docummentaries about the deep sea?
About marianas trench, abyssal plain creatures, all that cool shit
>>17194602
>>17190925
Fuck your american meme numbers. Use meters retarded burgers.
>>17197575
there are some in youtube, search "deep sea" it is a good start. But we haven't started exploring seriously the deep sea, so these docummentarias still being so incomplete.
>>17196959
What did the seal ever do to the narwhale?!?
>>17194602
I didn't know Denver was on top of a mountain...
>>17194977
What can I say? I like books.

It would take the average adult male (75kg) approximately 362 seconds (6 minutes) to free fall from the height of mt.everest to bottom of Mariana trench (assuming it was drained)
>>17197940
Of all the sounds Julia scares me the most.
It's the most unique, it has a sonic signature of a living creature.
A friendly reminder we have only explored 5% of the oceans surface.......
>>17190952
the american navy dumps broken/old furniture overboard when they are on deployment. I'm sure there are many living rooms at the bottom of the ocean
>>17190952
I think it's the fact that it landed on its legs that get me. It just looks too perfect.
>>17190952
>chair photo
what are you talking about? i don't see a chair
Space is more scary than ocean desu

>>17199268
i was just linking the sound the picture was referencing
>>17192002
is this a viral marketing for a game or some shit?
>>17199163
>A friendly reminder we have only explored 5% of the oceans surface.......
3 years ago was 10% and now is 5%, fuck in a couple of years it will be none. How come they're un-exploring the ocean?
Also Julia's record is fucking gay, it doesn't sound like it is from an animal, and the Apollo 33A5 is fucking bullshit pulled out of someone's ass.

This makes me uncomfortable for no damn reason, and I don't know why.
>>17199307
Your sense of scale is being challenged my friend
>>17199293
Huh?
Speaking of bullshit, where did you get the 10% figure from? Your ass?
FYI I got my figure from NOAA.
F.O.A.D.
>>17190925
I will die without knowing what it's like in the depths of the ocean.

You're welcome. And there is no need to apologize. Not that you know how to do so anyway, asshole.
>>17199293
Well it's always an estimate since we don't know how deep it goes.
>tfw every new species found gets more and more fucked up and more alien
>>17197940
Have pictures surfaced yet of the nasa one yet?
