Makes you wonder if you’re blobby because you’re in the wrong environment.
Perhaps I do belong isolated in the deep dark sea.
In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies
i will never see butterfly depictions the same again
Damnit, I’m going to see this everywhere now, aren’t I?
Yep.
You’re welcome.
Is kerning the spacing between letters?
Between any typographical characters, but yeah, basically 🙂
It’s the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.
Oh wow, thats very interesting!
I can’t wait to ruin this for every single person I know going forward. Thanks!
Thanks for making me one of the 10000 today
Interesting!
Neat, the alive ones look way more similar to moths.
Didn’t see that coming. In retrospect, I should have noticed that a long time ago… Thanks for the info
I wish people brought this energy to the meat industry
How can it be in pain, and be a corpse?
Those were its last words
Why not use both and turn it into a 2 panel meme?
Me when I have water
Me when I’m a human living in the modern world
What worst, is i found the depiction in children’s book. It’s kinda sad the myth doesn’t get corrected as much because people justify it as entire different thing.
“stop depicting blobfish like this, and blobfish isn’t what it’s called”
That specific one, as depicted, is blobfish. Blobfish is not a species, it’s an individual. Like Greenboots.
This was news to me, thanks for sharing this OP.
Stardew valley lied to me!
Stardew lied a lot lol. Starfruit for example, only looks like a star in cross section, but i guess the actual starfruit is hard to represent in pixel.
true. I think the star representation is fine because eating it the slices are basically stars so its valid artistic license.
as for blobfish, u can argue its dead when u catch it but aquarium and ponds exist so that’s kinda sus
Remembers me…
He looked so much younger then.
From the thumbnail I thought this was a naked ass
Can we. for once, not bring Trump into everything?
But he’s mentioned in the fish’s name.
Boris Johnson?
This is a “you” vs “the guy she tells you not to worry about” meme format
Good od Earthworm Jim…memories and RIP Shiny
I had no idea too but then came across a random Vox video about high pressure where they mentioned it.
I then did a little research and wrote the article below:
https://tohippo.com/the-blobfish-is-not-as-ugly-as-you-think/
I mean, they’re still kinda goofy looking when alive.
“Wait don’t take the photo I’m not rea…”
I spread this information anytime I can find it to be relevant. This and the incorrect myths about goldfish memories and short lives are so annoying to me. I love my fish friends
The name information is incorrect.
Psychrolutes is the genus, not the species.
Psychrolutes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Psychrolutidae, the fatheads and toadfishes. […] There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus
The binomial name of the blobfish is Psychrolutes marcidus. But realistically, “binomial name” is not always the same as “proper name”. There are a lot of animals whose common names include misconceptions, or even insults. Just look at the information about Psychrolutidae (that’s the Family) above. “Fatheads” sounds insulting, and “Toadfishes” aren’t toads.
I wouldn’t have even bothered looking this up, except that the artist wrote the “proper name” so poorly that I first read it as “Psychrd Lutes”. And the second reading, I misread as “Psychiro Lutes”, due to the weird “R” that looks like none of their other Rs. I read it correctly the third time, but I have to wonder at the wisdom of not writing it clearly when you’re trying to emphasize how it is spelled.
That’s not entirely correct either, because apparently “blobfish” can also refer to the wider Psychrolutidae family, also known as fathead sculpins, meaning that other species from the Psychrolutidae family get referred to as “blobfish”. So blobfish != exclusively Psychrolutes marcidus, which makes OP’s post more accurate than your comment.
