Tell me why there shouldn't be some super giant Lobster at the ground of the sea.
Lobster can only die if they are eaten.
The bigger it becomes the less likely it is it will be eaten.
Lobsters grow indefinitely and also have no age limit.
So why exactly is it impossible that there's a thousand year old giant lobster somewhere in the sea?

>>17010100
because immortal or not, like all things, lobsters need to feed and breathe. low enough to not detect a giant cthulu lobster is very unlikely for said cthulu lobster to sustain itself.

>>17010105

Lobsters are omnivores. They can eat anything from Plankton to mollusks to fish to other lobsters to even their own shed skin.

A monster lobster would eat literally anything that comes its way.

OP, thit is a very likely possibility. We have explored space so much more than our oceans. But everything is going to shit. Precious treasures lie at the bottom of the sea. Too bad we are burying these treasures with industrial residue. Your super lobster, if alive, won't live for much longer.

I think at some point, it would be so big that its body would need so much food to keep functioning it would probably stop growing. I think It would probably get bigger than any lobster we have seen though

Lobsters are not immortal. They can only become so big until they don't have the metabolic energy to molt again. Since they molt once a year after a certain point, inevitably, Lobsters who haven't been caught, eaten, etc. will die when they attempt to molt at too late of a stage in life. The problem is, biologists have trouble determining the age of a lobster since they a widely varied amount of times at a young age. Tough as fuck and fascinating, but not immortal.

>>17010136
*they molt a widely varied amount of times

Sorry, I'm fucking tired.

>>17010022
But it is simply a lobster.

We can just kill it and load fire helicopters with butter

If an animal were isometrically scaled up by a considerable amount, its relative muscular strength would be severely reduced, since the cross section of its muscles would increase by the square of the scaling factor while its mass would increase by the cube of the scaling factor. As a result of this, cardiovascular and respiratory functions would be severely burdened.
However, the buoyancy of water negates to some extent the effects of gravity. Therefore, sea creatures can grow to very large sizes without the same musculoskeletal structures that would be required of similarly sized land creatures, and it is no coincidence that the largest animals to ever exist on earth are aquatic animals.

We don't know.
There are lifeforms, even complex lifeforms, on this planet that are functionally immortal. There's even more than one that have been documented as occasionally growing younger. Evolution has just granted them just the right tweak and there you have it. They have their disadvantages, they're always niche species, they are not apex predators in their respective food chains, etc...
The point is that it's possble. Just not commonplace, or for some reason we don't yet understand as practical for the survival of most species.
Giant Lobsters, however, are not possible. There's this physics equation that has proven that no animal with an exoskeleton can grow past a particular size (that's dependant upon oxygen levels in the environment and gravity) and don't think there's a loophole hidden away in the deepest of the deepseas, down there it's the intense pressure that makes any body that isn't mushy a liability.
I don't see that happening.

>>17010100
>only 10% of the ocean has been mapped

seems suspicious as fuck, if there were some aquatic animal down there smarter than us of course they wouldn't fucking say anything. if the world is ever going to end i believe this is how it will happen, no meteor or illuminati bullshit, but sea people rising up and enslaving everyone.

>>17011747

>>17011965

>>17011977
like this?

there are 2 real problems for a giant lobster.

oxygen levels. the oceans are not as productive as they were most likely a long time ago. while it might be able to get to be the size of a bus tops anything bigger than that isnt going to happen

also lobsters are not filter feeders or predators but bottom feeding scavengers. i doubt one half the size of a buss would find enough to eat

There's a common misconception that the longer an organism lives, the bigger it gets. This is actually only true for a small handful of organisms, like fungus and shit. Animals stop at a point where their genetics will allow (influenced strongly by environment, too).

>>17010100
Short answer: Don't worry, we wont all be eaten by a spooky lobster
Long answer:
>grow indefinitely
No, once it reached a certain size (even it its exoskeleton could withstand the massive pressures of the ocean) it would eventually just crumple under its own weight due to the square-cubed law. Godzillas` existence is physically impossible for the same reason. This is what killed Pacific Rim for me. Oh look a 90-ish story tall kaiju, lets just watch its gargantuan fragile bones, grown in an environment with next to 0 G`s, snap like twigs the second it stands upright.

we have NOT explored space more than the ocean.
space is infinite. space is literally thousands of times larger than the ocean. we've sent a handful of people into the space around our own planet. Literally hundreds of people a DAY go to the ocean. Babies explore the ocean!
just cause we don't know exactly what goes on at the deepest depths of the ocean doesn't mean we know more about what goes on in outer space!

Okay, I'm back. I've given the issue some thought.
Would lobster supremacy truly be bad?
Lobsters wouldn't fuck up the ecosystem. Lobsters don't believe in God, nor do they believe in Death. Lobsters are peaceful creatures. Now, they can't communicate with each other or achieve space travel but it's only a matter of time.

The prevalent lobster habitat is the Atlantic Ocean, where the untimely specimens have been discovered. This ocean's marinescape is close to the letter W: land on either side and the Fire Belt in the middle, dips in the ocean floor.

They'd hide in said dips, in abysses. Their hides are pressure resistant. Wouldn't the cold be a problem? No. The aforementioned Fire Belt, a streak of volcanoes vertically through the Ocean, expels hot water and gas. It would still be relatively cold, but lobsters experience lethargy, a state of cold-induced slow activity.

Then, wouldn't we have seen some by now? Well there have been accounts. But most importantly, a majority of these crevices are uncharted, ruled out as uninteresting. Submarines could also not yet be advanced enough to go to such depths, or they might've been sunk by the lobsters. It is also highly possible the lobsters make hiding places out of bones and molts.

Now, if these giant lobsters are no different from regular lobsters, they prowl the bottom and feed there. And there they find the corpses of other sea creatures: squids, octopi, whales, orcas, dolphins, cods, seals, anything, more than enough food. They might also eat their own young, and molts. Average female lobsters lay 10,000 eggs every year, giant lobsters perhaps a hundred times as much.

Lobsters can live outside water if their gills are sprayed with water; that much is true for regular fragile lobsters. But giant, pressure resistant lobsters aren't pussies. Their gills are sturdier, they could climb up and take over as the new dominant species.
Is the government hiding them? It would be of use to them as an experiment.

>>17016320
>Lobsters are peaceful creatures

lolno, and stopped reading after that.

>>17016277
oceans: 75% explored

>Is the government hiding them? It would be of use to them as an experiment.
lol i love how you threw that in at the end just for tradition
good post man

>>17016277
Holy fuck kid the surface of Mars is not all of space. We know far more about our oceans than say, the atmosphere of Neptune or Uranus, the theoretical Oort Cloud, the Kuiper Belt, or the detailed functions of any star system other star system in our galaxy the Andromeda Galaxy or any other galaxy, or the effects of the background radiation outside our galaxy on any living thing. We have been observing and learning from and traversing the seas as a species and as different cultures for centuries. To say that we don't understand the ocean well enough is fine but don't fucking say we understand the rest of the goddamn universe better.

>>17016351
And if space is expanding, that 10% is getting smaller every second.

The change in pressure from surfacing would make it fucking EXPLODE. I think if a giant sea-monster ever does become known, it'll be a bloated fucking mess floating in the middle of the ocean being eaten by seagulls just like every other deep sea fish that gets pulled up. If you ever work on a fish-boat you'll see it all the time. BUT WHO KNOWS, maybe the Earth itself is just a giant immortal lobster.

Lobsters have to consume more as they increase in size. Any lobster like that would have been wiped out by whaling. Because whale corpses are what creates life down there.
Whale corpses and worms that eat hydrogen sulfide bacteria. That's it, for the most part on the deepsea floor. All the cool deepsea squids and stuff don't bother touching the floor, just floating and shit where other creatures live in bigger numbers than the absolute bottom.
