Marine botanist here: Definitely looks like a human wiener.

[–]Scuzwheedl0r 17 points18 points ago

Marine Biologist here, this is an uprooted Sea Anemone (class anthozoa), with its disc everted as opposed to pulled in, as it would be when the anemone is rooted. They do this to escape predators or competitors. ...I'm really hoping you were joking.

[–]meatbrick 27 points28 points ago

Did you mean to type Dickfish? Cause I'm pretty sure it's a Dickfish

[–]nodstar22 8 points9 points ago

do you like to put fish sticks in your mouth?

[–]twoface117 3 points4 points ago

Remember that Spongebob episode when he changed the channel really quick when Gary came? This is why.

[–]nudgeishere 1 point2 points ago

Spongebob is gay?

Hey, I have one of those!

[–]Sferwerda 0 points1 point ago

It fucks up the sea

[–]LegendMerry 0 points1 point ago

I've seen that animal before... I think one lives in my house, should I be worried?

[–]bahamamamalama 0 points1 point ago

Of course they do. I have one. It's about 8 inches long and likes to be petted.

[–]cckcsensei 0 points1 point ago

Also, every mushroom ever.

[–]Pictoru 0 points1 point ago

well...yeah, it's a delicacy in most countries

[–]ReefOctopus 0 points1 point ago

macrodactylus doreensis.

They'll often roll around a new tank for awhile before choosing a spot.

[–]SimplePhantom 0 points1 point ago

So THAT'S where shemales' penises go......into the sea and or into your very own aquarium...

Rule 34.

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah millions of years In exsistance So really what the question should be is Hey I'm 14 and just discoverd life is everywhere in all forms cool... Stop with the " so this exists " every thing we can think of exist we just have to find it or make it .... The human brain can't imagine or create what we arnt the potential vibration of ... So what ever you can conceive is possible .... Is possible

[–]Scriboergosum 1 point2 points ago

Wow, that's, like, really deep, man!

Now go find or create the purple, three-headed, five-legged donkey that can sing opera, the "potential vibrations" of which are clearly part of our being, since I just thought of it.

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

Hey if you think it's impossible for scientist to achieve your wrong.... We clone things now ... And look it up genetic scientist of marine biology created a see thru fish that grows bugs inside of its stomach only to be thrown up and ingested again as food... A self sustaining living fish.... So hey I supposed you have try it before tho .... So your life's your reality and you will never find what you don't look for...... Bye bye stranger peace

[–]Scriboergosum 0 points1 point ago

And there it is. The sure sign of someone losing touch with reality: Perpetual motion. I don't care if it's a motor, a generator or a fish. If you actually believe that it works, you need to read some books on physics. Nothing is self sustaining in that sense.

You might just be a Poe, but that Darryl Anka guy you linked to a video of is apparently not.

Peace indeed.

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

dude Ive seen UFOs and shit split apart in the sky ... I'm sweet dude roiling it up in Australia .... And I'm rich as shit so nobody calls me " out of touch " because I'm successful and all ready traveled the world at the age of 20 .... So um take it or leave it... Peace indeed my brother

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

And about that nothing is sustainable bullshit ... Take a look at the fucking sun next time your outside .... And when that explodes it creates a black hole witch puts of more energy then the sun ever did in its entire exsistance .... Unplug yourself from the TV and meet some people who actually build shit

[–]Scriboergosum 0 points1 point ago

The sun works through fusion, nothing like self sustaining. It has a limited amount of fuel, and when that is spent, the sun "dies". You say as much yourself: "And when that explodes it creates a black hole". If it's self sustaining, like that fish you mentioned, why does it explode, why does it not just keep on going?

And the sun is not a sufficiently large star to create a black hole when it dies, so you've got that wrong too. Also, black holes do not "put out energy" like the sun does, that's sort of the point of the name. It's black because it's so dense that even light can't escape it.

I might have misunderstood your example with the fish, but if you're entertaining the possibility that a being or machine might exist, which could function forever without ever getting any energy from the outside world, perhaps while even producing surplus energy itself, then you're talking about perpetual motion, and yes, you've lost touch with reality. Go see your local physics professor, he'll explain why much better than I could ever do. Bottom line, it doesn't work.

As far as your credentials are concerned I really couldn't care less. You could be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and it wouldn't mean anything in this context. We're talking science, physics, reality (or at least trying), so your wealth and globetrotting lifestyle are irrelevant.

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

take your TV And Internet facts somewhere else .... I know enough my eyes are open .... Please go for a walk out side and get some exercise .... And understand oneday the government lied and suppressed alternative energy "free energy" to make this world stay there way..... But every civilisation falls and life progresses ......... By the way don't be too much concerned about that bullshit left brain Physics stuff.... It's all to keep you in a box I suggest some David Icke for you and your mind............ And for what's its worth Newton didnt believe in sex before marriage and died a virgin

[–]Scriboergosum 0 points1 point ago

TV and internet facts, you say? You do know that it's being teached in schools and universities all over the world, I assume? And that the theories are open to criticism, in fact when new things are discovered and old theories brought crumbling down, the ones responsible for the change are praised, given awards and money for their work.

If you, or someone you know, have figured this world out, go write articles and have them peer reviewed. Tell people how you know, so they can know for themselves as well. Show your experiments an conclusions. Surely you and your friends aren't just making all this up, so you must have some solid evidence, yes?

That you believe the government capable of hiding such information from the public for so long shows an incredible level of respect for their abilities, which I don't think they deserve given their record on keeping secrets. Everything from supporting revolutions in other countries, illegal arms deals, the Watergate scandal to who Bill Clinton had sex with was uncovered. Millions of scientists all over the world have been duped, though? Very impressive piece of work.

Finally, Newton's views on sex before marriage is not that apropros of anything we're talking about, is it? And how much exercise I get and whether you can "explain" me is also irrelevant. If you think you know me, and you feel superior because of it, more power to you. I'm not above that myself, just know it doesn't do anything to explain why you're right and I'm wrong.

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

Of course not ... The only reason this conversation exsists because we don't know each other... I can't do your research for you... And you can draw your own conclusion ..... All I know is you can't never trust someone who hasn't been punched in the face .... And 2 dude I've seen groups of ufos and all sorts of shit in the sky.... Either it's government or extraterrestrial .... But I've seen silent " what looked to be free energy " with my own eyes......beliveing is seeing my friend..... Apperntly it's a galactic rule not to fuck with a evolveing race..... And they don't baby sit for planets who haven't figured it out........call me insane crazy lost the plot ..... But I'm just fine over here thanks and don't have " or could " prove a thing to you or anyone...... You do know your on a planet in space floating around a star..... Take it all in

what makes the apple fall from the tree I wonder??? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW NEWTON LET'S GO GET LAID

[–]Thatswhatshesaid3909 0 points1 point ago

I read your page just to get a character out look .... And I recognised I can perfectly explain you ..... Watch this hes a philosopher called Alan watts it goes for 5 minutes do if you dont want down load it all skip to 2:25 ..... Its not religious .... It is what it is ... You should injoy it since you like to pick holes in everything possibly life changing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VN8jwM4HbI
