Whatever it is has lost depth perception. Swimming around down there running into shit.

[–]RonnieTheEffinBear 86 points87 points ago

You're assuming it only had two eyes to start with!

::shudder::

[–]dickwhistle 2 points3 points ago

That'd be pretty neat. An animal that sheds eyes like sharks shed teeth.

[–]goforce5 13 points14 points ago

It most likely didn't have it to begin with. Most sea creatures have eyes on the sides, so it would only run into things on the side it lost. Until something exploited this weakness of course...

Oh my Goodness...did you just type his actual name out?! You're the only other person besides myself that I've seen do this

It was part of my email password for a month or so, until I changed it.

I posted this in r/borderlands2 and not one person got the correlation....

[–]betamaximus 28 points29 points ago

Is there a source? I only ask because I'm curious about whether or not they identified the creature it came from.

[–]instabiili 39 points40 points ago

Tl;dr: they don't know which species owned this eye. It might take a long time before they can specify its species.

[–]conspiracy_thug 60 points61 points ago

my bet goes with blue whale.

1, the eye is fucking huge

2, its blue.

[–]BeffyLove 49 points50 points ago

Giant Squids have the largest eyes of any animal! That's what I'm betting on

[–]Geckos 10 points11 points ago

Random fact (useless talent #41,201): I remember from reading a Ripley's Believe it or Not book from when I was six -- Their eyes are the size of dinner plates.

[–]darkkite23 15 points16 points ago

Giant squids, man. So freaking cool!

[–]MunicipalFace 5 points6 points ago

There's also Colossal Squid...

[–]darkkite23 2 points3 points ago

OH SHIT!

[–]skisslet 1 point2 points ago

that looks like a colossal something...

[–]EmbracedByLeaves 14 points15 points ago

Definitely not a squid eye. It is some sort of fish.

[–]Tattycakes 7 points8 points ago

Source on this information? (Genuinely interested)

[–]Peaceandallthatjazz 7 points8 points ago

Squid eyes have funky pupils

Edit: I lied, its because there was bone around it, I assumed it was cartilage from the photo.

[–]abadonnabananna 10 points11 points ago

Cuttlefish are the ones with the weird pupil. Octopodes too. Squid eyes function the same but have boring ass round pupils. Stupid squids.

[–]allright_thebeckster 3 points4 points ago

Thank you for the correct pluralisation of octopus. I was waiting for it to come up.

[–]Drive-by_Abortionist 5 points6 points ago

Blue whales eyeball is closer to 15cm in diameter. But could only find one source which is kinda sketch. http://www.sizes.com/natural/eyes.htm

[–]EmbracedByLeaves 8 points9 points ago

purportedly a large billfish of sorts.

[–]r721 2 points3 points ago

It seems you are right:

The FWC has yet to release its official finding, but shark expert George Burgess of the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville said he had spoken to one of the commission's scientists on Friday afternoon, who told him "eye in hand" that he was sure that it came from a impressively-sized swordfish.

"I'd say the fish was a pretty decent size, probably more than 10ft in length," Burgess said.

"There was a bit of bone left on the other side of the eye from where it was taken from the animal. That would eliminate a shark because they have cartilage, and on that basis it was likely one of the billfish."

[–]catwithlasers 2 points3 points ago

And this is why I don't go to the beach in Florida.

[–]Poo-princess 5 points6 points ago

I just went to Cocoa Beach for my birthday and the only encounter I had with sea life was a tiny little fish looking for shelter in my cleavage from the crashing waves.

[–]rmhuntley 2 points3 points ago

lucky fish....

[–]Anthaneezy 1 point2 points ago

Because you know... It's Florida.

[–]betamaximus -1 points0 points ago

Cool! Thanks buddy

[–]gloomios 12 points13 points ago

[–]Ghostwoods 4 points5 points ago

Hey, we worked hard to suppress that memory.

[–]heartjuice 2 points3 points ago

[–]TurboGrundle 7 points8 points ago

Lauren (the hands) says "Seems the general consensus of the marine scientists around say swordfish, it's still in our lab though we haven't sent it over for genetic testing."

[–]Kensin 1 point2 points ago

Then you can tell us what that tattoo is supposed to be! It looks like a really fucked up clover or something.

[–]TurboGrundle 3 points4 points ago

Left wrist: Clover. Right wrist: Horseshoe.

[–]Kensin 15 points16 points ago

I'm now assuming she's got pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and blue diamonds in other places not visible in the photo.

[–]GreyLlama 4 points5 points ago

Space Core's eye is green. Wheatley's eye is blue.

If it were any kind of core, it would MORE THEN LIKELY be wheatley. Unless something in the water turned his eye blue and blocked the green LEDs in its eye.

[–]ohgeronimo 0 points1 point ago

The space core's eye in Skyrim is yellow.

I don't know where I was going with this.

[–]spacedicksmakestears 7 points8 points ago

It's the Drowned God.

[–]nutsaq 3 points4 points ago

Everyone is wondering what it is, but the real question is how the fuck did a giant eyeball just pop out?

[–]TDH80[S] 8 points9 points ago

or what larger creature popped out said eye....

[–]whichwitch9 6 points7 points ago

They think it's a 10 ft swordfish!!! Somehow, that's awesome!! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/12/mystery-florida-eyeball-swordfish?newsfeed=true

One body part at a time!

[–]FraterEAO 1 point2 points ago

I didn't know the High Priest of the Great Old Ones had such lovely eye.

[–]Madonkadonk 2 points3 points ago

But he hit his head on the nightstand on the way up. He is going to be very angry when he gets up here, but just stay to his right side and he won't even know you are there.

[–]EdgHG 4 points5 points ago

[–]makerofrages 15 points16 points ago

Wheatley perhaps?

[–]whitmorewartoof 4 points5 points ago

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[–]b00gielove 4 points5 points ago

Something bigger poked its eye out.

[–]Vedda 0 points1 point ago

Kind of funny, I first think of the Pilot in WallE

[–]Suzy_Sweetheart 3 points4 points ago

Experts are saying it is a swordfish eye article

[–]Shezzington 4 points5 points ago

Its the Oracle from Halo

[–]normalboy 1 point2 points ago

In that case, throw it back.

[–]leoberto 8 points9 points ago

The pupil is too large for a land animal. I would rule that out. It could be from a baby one of these :3

[–]BobIV 32 points33 points ago

Well of course its not a land animal...

One of the best sentences ever spoken:

"It was very, very fresh," he told Florida newspaper the Sun Sentinel, adding: "It was still bleeding when I put it in the plastic bag."

(from the article http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/oct/12/massive-mysterious-eyeball-found-florida)

[–]rbslilpanda 7 points8 points ago

Ya'll...it's a giant squid's eyeball. They get to be the size of dinner plates, the largest eyes we know of on Earth...you're welcome, but thank PBS, without them I wouldn't know this stuff...

[–]scdayo 19 points20 points ago

"Because of bone around the eye, we can probably rule out a squid," commission spokesperson Carli Segelson told ABCnews.com.

[–]rbslilpanda 2 points3 points ago

hmmm...odd, well let the weird animal theories commence. It was my hypothesis based on my current animal knowledge...

[–]scdayo 0 points1 point ago

I immediately thought giant squid also upon seeing the picture. Then I got to the sentence i linked to above & was like "well shit"

[–]rbslilpanda 0 points1 point ago

lol, yeah, well who the fuck knows what it is then...

[–]octoale 4 points5 points ago

http://news.discovery.com/earth/squid-eye-on-the-lookout-120316.html

Based on that picture of a Giant Squid eye, I'd say you're right. That was my first thought, as well.
