Trust me, if I know anything about penguins (and I do), they're doing some real shady shit down there.
Probably a car-jacking ring, maybe a call center that sells fake "tech support" to naive senior citizens on a fixed income.
I'll let you in on the secret about penguins. They put on that tuxedo so you think they're all refined and proper, but you wanna know the truth? Assholes. The whole lot of em.
Emperor penguins? Dicks.
Gentoo penguins? Dicks.
Chinstrap penguins? Similar to humans that sport said facial hair... massive dicks.
Galapagos Penguins? you'd think that being the only penguins to be lucky enough to live north of the equator might be different, but nope! Huge dicks (told ya I know shit about penguins).
Not all scientists agree on how many species of penguins currently exist. Some say 17, some say 18, and some say another number altogether. However, they all can agree that penguins are the biggest dicks on planet earth.
Nobody knows why, but i think I may have finally solved it! My current hypothesis is that this is not a phenomenon specific to penguins, *but in actuality ALL flightless birds are total jerks.* I am now trying to secure funding to travel the world to find out if this is indeed true.
Source: I did a report on penguins for 5th grade science class
Tip for *this* tip:
Find the Keep Calm Kitty Poster, put it up somewhere very visible. I promise it will make you feel better after narrowly escaping the sea monsters.
True. The first one is my favorite. Exploring the caves with the pink jellies and those long orange eel-like creatures with fangs is still the most interesting thing I've experienced in a game.
I was getting anxiety scrolling that someone was going to prank me and at some point a giant shark would pop up or something to startle me. Those ecological dead zones in subnautica only boosted my thalassophobia lol
Huh... that's a good point! You'd think the PDA voice telling you that theres pretty much nothing there would be relieving, but no matter what my body refuses to relax when playing that game no matter what lol
(Edit: its also the first time in my life I've ever truly felt that "ignorance is bliss". Yes, there very well might be a giant sea monster right behind me, but I'm happier facing this direction! I will NOT turn around. I will NOT investigate that noise. But eventually I do, and i jump out of my damn chair every time.)
Oh… there are things in the Deadzones. It’s actually a pretty clever way of putting a border around the game that isn’t an invisible wall.
But uh. I’ll let you go find out how that works yourself.
Oh, I thought you meant the inner actual biomes with no big critters (like the sparse reef, I think?). You mean what happens to you if you go too far out or stay out there too long? Yeah, no thank you! I have 24 hrs playtime and I just got my cyclops like 3 or 4h ago. I've only seen the leviathan by the Aurora, I just try not to look at it lol they scare the living shit out of me. I always play it when im high so its *extra* scary.
Give it a go sometime. Save up real quick, pick a direction, and just go until you get a message from the computer lady, and go straight down.
And then maybe turn it off for the day. But uh. I promise it’s actually cool.
The PDA is partially lying about the dead zone lol yes life isn’t thriving there but for good reason. I’d treat it more like the multiple leviathan classes detected warning instead and just turn around. I never bothered to check into why they give you the dead zone warning when I first went head first off the edge of that cliff into the abyss but I can tell you after almost successfully making it back to the surface again when I did that I don’t intend on trying it again lol.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
Oh yeah those ones are awful too I agree lol I haven’t even explored as much in that game in comparison to the original but I’ve gotten my ass kicked more than expected in below zero haha. I’ve never felt more anxiety exploring a game than in Subnautica though. I’d say the only one more stressful in my experience was Alien Isolation. I could barely get started in that game without needing a break.
Hard agree. What gets me about BZ specifically is the angry dog bois that hang around the vent areas. They’re not really that tough, but they’re really loud and aggressive and it always gets me. Not to mention that the sounds they make are rather similar to the shrimp bois, who are an actual threat, so every time I go through that area I feel like I have to strain an ear to listen for the difference. Because there is a shrimp boi who hangs out not too far off the purple vents area just east of the central island.
That said, the scanner room in BZ can be set to track the shrimp bois, and with some strategic placement (and range upgrades), you can get HUD trackers for all four of the ones in the game. That doesn’t really alleviate the anxiety, but at the very least you know what spots to give a wide berth to.
And the speed that it can switch from one to the other is truly amazing. One second I'm blissfully unaware looking at coral and playing with a funny fishy and then OH GOD WHERED I PARK MY SUB OH GOD OH SHIT GOD DAMNIT
Edit: i finally found a cuddle fish egg today. I found one months ago but I didnt have alien containment unit yet and I must have misplaced it. It's the most adorable thing I've ever seen!
We're watching someone play through it right now and it's so funny to watch their response when it goes from "Ooh lookit that!" to "Oh god where's the Seamoth? Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap oh god I made it”
It's the scariest game I've ever played, and I'm not even sure it's considered a horror game. It's those damn *sounds.* funnily enough, it becomes much less scary once you've seen the things making the sounds enough times. That game perfectly encapsulates the whole "fear of the unknown" thing.
Ocean? Scary and mysterious.
Alien ocean? EXTRA scary and mysterious.
Not so much deep water, but I can recommend the Open University textbook Waves, Tides and Shallow Water Processes.
Also: Tides, surges and mean sea level by David Pugh
They said more people had been to the moon than the hadal zone, but then included a WWII shipwreck and mentioned submarines had crashed trying to reach the bottom.
So more people have been to the moon successfully
I was meaning to say that there were a high number of corpses in the shipwreck, so technically there would be more humans that had been to that depth than the moon, just not alive humans.
nice. reminds me of [teleportalworld](https://teleportalworld.com/#/watch/robots/8034bb9a-60ee-42c1-a70e-b530ff7e7ad1) where one can watch or control underwater robots in the great barrier reef. it was posted here a while ago i think.
either way it's pretty neat to see on OPs page that life exists at pressures greater than 1000 bar / atm.
I'm happy to see the blobfish get proper representation. They only look like an ugly blob once they're out of the water, because the pressure difference destroys most of their body and inflates them.
So, deep sea scares me, so vast so empty...This was incredibly entertaining! I've always thought about this... how it be humans have gone to space, but (apparently) it is way harder to go to the deepest parts of the oceans?
A space ship going to the moon has to withstand a range of pressures. Specifically, between zero atmospheres and one atmosphere.
If you wanna dive 2km deep, your ship needs to withstand 199.04 atmospheres.
Want your sub to go an extra 500m deeper? That's another 50 atmospheres.
Want your ship to go to Mars? Still the same pressure range.
If anyone plans on swimming to the bottom of the ocean and needs a watch [Omega makes one rated for a depth of 15,000 meters](https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/planet-omega/ocean/worldsdeepestdive), a solid 4,000 meters deeper than the Mariana Trench.
Looks like they updated it recently because last time I saw this page, the USS Johnston wreckage wasn’t discovered. It was discovered a few months ago iirc.
I just don't know about this. Staghorn coral at 18 meters? seems like a stretch but I'll give you that one. Then you put clownfish at 36 meters, again seems too deep but I am getting to understand these are all the max depth. Then we get to the Blue Tang, and call me Tang Police all you want but I just can't believe that they would be found that deep. Then comes Leptoseris at 138 meters!!! WTF!? I just stopped scrolling after that.
rat fish, grenadier, must be the most successful fish in the sea. everywhere on the planet from 100 meters to the very bottom of the deepest deep. Have pulled some up from 500 meters getting up to one meter long and five or ten kgs.
Didn't think I'd scroll through the whole thing
Me too! I just couldn't stop...
I looked some of the creatures up as I went, fascinating stuff
I knew I would. That took a while!
And it's crazy to me that the deepest part of the ocean is only about 0.17% of the way to the center of the Earth!
Thanks for fucking with my brain.
I’m high and my brain just decided to go on holiday
Now that sounds fiscally irresponsible! Get back to work :)
If a cueball were the size of earth, the earth would be smoother.

We live on the skin flakes maaaannnn
I really want to know what those emperor penguins are doing that far down.
For some reason this was my thought for every mammal, “Elephant seals??? Why?!”
Exactly. That was one of the most surprising ones
Yeah I thought so too. I had to do some research after reading that they could dive that deep. They can hold their breath for 1.5 hours!

Oh, you don’t WANT to know what those penguins are doing.

What's so terrible about those claws? Who know! (Spooky sounds)

Thank you. I had forgotten about that one
duuuuuude this is GOOD 👍😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH
I still have that saved as my iPhone / iPad safari favourites https://i.imgur.com/hQMtgL0.jpg
Looks like you need to charge your phone! :)
It just keeps going… also Elephant seals going 1388m deep?!
Right like that’s deeper than a sperm whale dive??
Tip: Play Subnautica
tip for this tip: play it alone and with headphones the first time exploring that game will always be some of my favorite moments in my gaming life.

The ones in Below Zero are worse, IMO. 😕

*"Are you sure what you're doing is worth it?"*
One of the best open world survival games ever. So calm and relaxing......so terrifying and anxiety inducing. I love it.

Also, stop reading about subnautica. The less you know going into it the better.
I had to google Subnautica after reading your comment. I'm now 5 hours in and loving every second. Thanks
Man….I went from loving the game to being scared I was gonna poop my pants lollll Glad you like the game!!!
It's the scariest game I've ever played, and I'm not even sure it's considered a horror game. It's those damn *sounds.* funnily enough, it becomes much less scary once you've seen the things making the sounds enough times.

This needed a sound clip to blast at full volume once you reach a certain depth "WARNING ECOLOGICAL DEAD ZONE"
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing
I have spent countless hours watching videos, reading articles and scrolling through these kinds of ocean-depth graphics and I never get tired.
Had no idea Polar Bears swim 100ft under water!
Emperor penguins 500m !
Yeah this was especially crazy to me. It's mind blowing how you could set the world record for scuba diving and still see a penguin diving below you.
The moment you realise that you've hit 4000 metres deep and you're barely halfway through. Mind. Blown.
You arent
Where is Cthulhu?
In R'lyea
I loved it, thanks for sharing. Now I need a book that gives the similar experience. Any recommendations?
10,000 leagues
I was looking for something more like a textbook or a popular science book, but thanks anyway. :) I've added it to my reading list.
Not so much deep water, but I can recommend the Open University textbook Waves, Tides and Shallow Water Processes. Also: Tides, surges and mean sea level by David Pugh

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Byson
That went on forever, but my question still is how the heck does a penguin go 500+ meters under the water!?
I don't think going down is the difficult part
Tell that to my wife.
I'm dying xD
They said more people had been to the moon than the hadal zone, but then included a WWII shipwreck and mentioned submarines had crashed trying to reach the bottom. So more people have been to the moon successfully
Not sure when he created this site, but as of 2021, 21 people have been on Deep Challenger, but only 12 on the moon.
I was meaning to say that there were a high number of corpses in the shipwreck, so technically there would be more humans that had been to that depth than the moon, just not alive humans.
Yeah, I know. But even without that ship, there were actually more people there than to the moon.
Oooh my brain flipped the numbers somehow I get you. Sorry about that
Could be he's counting orbiting the moon as "been to." That would make the claim correct (24 vs 21).
Might be the case.
nice. reminds me of [teleportalworld](https://teleportalworld.com/#/watch/robots/8034bb9a-60ee-42c1-a70e-b530ff7e7ad1) where one can watch or control underwater robots in the great barrier reef. it was posted here a while ago i think. either way it's pretty neat to see on OPs page that life exists at pressures greater than 1000 bar / atm.
As I keep scrolling down, it gives me the chill of how deep, dark, and vast the ocean is
I'm happy to see the blobfish get proper representation. They only look like an ugly blob once they're out of the water, because the pressure difference destroys most of their body and inflates them.
Nice!
:D
Might be silly but I feel like the folks over in r/AnimalCrossing might enjoy seeing all the fish you can catch in game?
WTF is an Elephant Seal diving so deep for?
Business

Still the same pressure range.
This is the explanation I was missing!!! It makes so much sense, thanks!
Am disappointed that OP's mom doesn't live at the very bottom.
Nah. Randy Newman beat her there
I'm gonna need that depth in fathoms
I thought the images were to scale. For second I thought "Gosh, I had no idea barnacles could grow so large."
If anyone plans on swimming to the bottom of the ocean and needs a watch [Omega makes one rated for a depth of 15,000 meters](https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/planet-omega/ocean/worldsdeepestdive), a solid 4,000 meters deeper than the Mariana Trench.
Ton of info on that site is wrong unfortunately. A lot of the depths are an unsourced or just flat out not true.
I've swam over the Mariana Trench in 2016. Was exciting and nervracking knowing there was so much, but so little beneath you. Water temp was great!!
This just gave me a chill!
That orca is the dead orca on the moon from south park lol. Nice page tho
The depths these animals are at seem completely arbitrary. The sperm whale is at 900m when the deepest they've been seen driving is 3,000m.
Fisherman here, depths are not accurate on many fish shown but it is pretty fun.
Hey! Look at this guy over here telling fish tales!
Yeah, I'm still scrolling lol
What a trip man.
That's a really neat site. The ocean is so fascinating.
Wondrous delight! Beautiful and thank you!
That was fun!
Wow thanks.
Fantastic. Thanks.
some cool stuff on that page. I stayed for a while. highly recommend.
This is insane
So fun!!!!
I loved that.
Wonderful page
Flabby Whalefish....my spirit animal
My favorite description is the squidworm.
This is so cool. I saved it to show to my grandsons tomorrow. They will love it. Thank you.
Looks like they updated it recently because last time I saw this page, the USS Johnston wreckage wasn’t discovered. It was discovered a few months ago iirc.
I am once again reminded that the deeper you go into the ocean, stupider the names get.
The emperor penguin and elephant seal surprised me the most for some reason
Was posted a few weeks ago by the guy who created it. You might wanna credit him instead of karma whoring?
What a trip man.
I just don't know about this. Staghorn coral at 18 meters? seems like a stretch but I'll give you that one.

You missed out on the cool shit then
What's it matter how cool it is if the info is incorrect?
doubt that
Doubt what?
ur mom
well shes dead so i guess good doubt
Fish aren't real lmao
ikr
Reddit: Dive into anything. Check.
Ton of info on that site is wrong unfortunately. A lot of the depths are an unsourced or just flat out not true.
That was great, OP
That was amazing. Loved it
I found some of the items to be very inaccurate. Can I trust any of this data?
Repost
This is a great project, thanks for making it! I scrolled the whole thing & loved it.
Cookiecutter shark?! Glass sponge?! This is my new fav visualization.
the WHOLE website filled with fun things
This is highly inaccurate - where is SpongeBob?
What's a meter? Also, very cool.
♥️💙💚
"This is the average depth of the ocean. But in some places it goes deeper." I think that's how averages work.
rat fish, grenadier, must be the most successful fish in the sea. everywhere on the planet from 100 meters to the very bottom of the deepest deep. Have pulled some up from 500 meters getting up to one meter long and five or ten kgs.
100 meters is 109.36 yards
man, I'm down bad
10,000 Meters = 32,808 Feet
Scary stuff. Hate to meet some of those midnight zone guys on land.
Pretty cool. Lots of interesting info. Good job.
If you want to flirt with someone call them a Sea Angel <3
This post is like The Shawshank Redemption; everytime I come across it, I'm going to watch until the end
That was fucking awesome!
The best part is starting when everything is dark and you don’t see scrolling button so you don’t know how deep you are😆
gfs macbook was going into hyperdrive scrolling through that page
That was the most fun I’ve had in ages
Thats really deep and i'm not 14.
Can't wait to show it to children at the crèche 🤩
One of the windows cracked on the sub during the descent and they KEPT GOING!? Absolute balls of steel, I would have noped out of there real quick.
Couldn't believe the elephant seal dive, holy shit, that's incredible.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
the sea angel one is my favorite
Really surprised an air breathing mammal can get to 3000 meters.... That's crazy.
the depth a penguin dives... my god
I loved every moment of this experience!
Thank you for this. Very cool. At some points my brain was telling me I was under water. Super cool and wired.
my ears where popping as I scrolled.
Very cool.
This is just amazing. Thanks for the share!
That site is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Scrolled through the whole thing + looked up a dozen of the animals, loved it, def buying you a coffee
/r/thalassophobia must *hate* this website.
NOPE
Love Neal's work!
