What would you expect from a seahorse though, am I right?
I think the saying about fish not being aware of water is nonsense. People are aware that there’s air around them, without having to know any science. They can feel the wind, their own breath, etc. Fish have that plus they need to push against water in order to move. A fish that didn’t know what water was would be like a land animal that didn’t know what the ground was.
Next you’ll be telling me seahorses can’t talk.
Only stable horses
The unstable ones are mute?
No, Just gibberish
Of course, of course
I think you underestimate our past ignorance. It took many decades of science being taught for the general population to “know” that air exists.
I think the general population always knew that there was a transparent substance all around them which had to keep going in and out of their lungs or they would die - the “breath of life” from the Bible. I mean, even an uneducated peasant in ancient times could blow bubbles underwater and see that there was something coming out of his mouth.
I’ll have you know fish are fucking idiots
I have seen the documentary called Finding Dory and I can confirm this.
Can confirm.
I’m not entirely sure if a fish would actually know what water is lmao
The FOOLS fall for little pieces of plastic with metal in them, so there’s no way they know what water is
humans jerk off to anime so it’s not like we’re that much smarter
No, that means we have transcended the petty limitations of biological sexuality. We are like gods.
We are gods amongst fish
Do you like living in the ether?
Yes, I have good ethernet.
I just realized how odd that name is.
The idea was first documented in a memo that Metcalfe wrote on May 22, 1973, where he named it after the luminiferous aether once postulated to exist as an “omnipresent, completely passive medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves.”
Hmm, I really thought there would be some clever name I didn’t understand, but it really is that
aether.
How many ways can we rewrite the allegory of the cave?
Of the what?
Plato’s cave allegory.
The what?
Stupid seahorse can form complex sentences but can’t analyze the water around him like some kinda simple animal!!
You mean the aether
Right?
I have a friend who believes in magic, and that we can’t see it for the same reason this sea horse is confused about the ocean
Jesus do be like dat
Humans live in an ocean as well.
Air is a fluid!
I thought the seahorse was talking about the microphone
Why would you think that? It literally reacted to what the guy said about water.
You want a shower thought? H2O is just another gas, compressed. We live in the ocean too, just the upper part with lighter gases.
It is not. Both gases and liquids are fluids, though.
Do I look like a scientist to you? I can barely keep from falling into the lower ocean.
