made a really big poster about whale falls for uni this semester. enjoy
[ID: A digital illustration, titled “Anatomy of a Whale Fall”, depicting many different sea organisms feeding on the skeletal carcass of a whale on the sea floor. A key at the bottom labels each animal. The listed animals go as follows: “starfish, sea urchin, flounder, hagfish, osedax, sleeper shark, squat lobster, barnacle, venus clam, octopus, rubyspira, sea anemone, vrijenhoekia, neanthes, shrimp, sea cucumber, lobster, bristle worm, siboglindae, eelpout, scotoplanes, giant isopod, cow shark, grenadiers, and atlantic sea nettel”. The next three images are all closeups, showing different portions of the drawing in detail. End ID.]
I think more people need to learn the phrase “I don’t know enough about that to have a strong opinion” its literally a cheat code for awkward conversations
its ok if you actually do know a lot about the thing and/or have strong opinions about it btw. you can just lie
