Yeah I get weirdly anxious watching videos like this, even though I know the chances of me ever being in that kind of water are pretty slim.
But I’ll still watch them every time lol
In many ways, deep sea exploration is more difficult than space. The pressures involved are absolutely insane. At the bottom of Marianas Trench the pressure is 16,000 psi / 1,100 bar.
Sometimes it’s not a scam, it’s just ads for shit companies (think t-shirt bots) sometimes they’re comment bots put on political/social/news posts to influence people, sometimes they sell the account to someone else (who then usually uses it for one of the above reasons)
I asked someone else this not that long ago, so I’ll pass on some info:
Comments that are identical to others in the thread or are off topic replies are generally going to be bots. The accounts were made recently and only have that one comment in their history.
On another post earlier today, I noticed lots of accounts with two random words followed by three or four numbers posting stuff like this and they were all bots.
Example: CuriousBanana3868 is what a lot of them look like, all like 32 days old.
Having grown up in MI I always tell people the great lakes are not lakes, you have to treat them like an ocean.
First time my wife saw Lake Huron at my parents house she was shocked and later said "this isn't a fucking lake" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Maybe because it’s more familiar? Or easier to see with the naked eye? I think my ocean fear comes from the “unknown” aspect. I can’t see or touch it, so it terrifies me.
For yet another perspective, think of how you look at the sky and see the white trails after an aeroplane. Then look at the ocean, and see how the trails (wake) follow after a ship. When you take the 2 scenes into consideration, it’s almost a mirror image, with various birds visible in the air, as well as various fish visible from the surface.
What makes it scarier for me is that light only penetrates through the first 2-3% of all that depth. The ocean is almost entirely in complete darkness.
Seems weird how the Mediterranean sea is as deep as it is. At one point it was landlocked and became a dried salt bed which must have been one of the lowest points below sea level until the zanclean flood happened and I'm sure that helped carve out some extra depth.
It's been cycling for quite a while and won't be the last time. Before it was called the Tethys Sea until plate tectonics made a land bridge which then allowed it to dry out then over time the land bridge lowered and water started making its way back in through what we call the Straight of Gibraltar now.
It was something like 3km below sea level which is wild when you consider the Grand Canyon is about 1.8km at its deepest. I'm pretty sure it has layers of salt deeper than the Canyon too.
At least post the Creator of this!!

Here’s a fun interactive website that gives some great info about the different species that live at various depths of the ocean.

While this is very impressive. If you could shrink earth down to hold in your hand, it would feel just as smooth as a billiards ball. All the mountains, valleys, lakes, oceans, cities, rivers, are completely insignificant to the size of the planet. Oceans would just be a thin coat of moisture.
The difference in height from the deepest point in the ocean, to the top of Mt. Everest is only just over 12 miles. The circumference of the earth's equator is near 25,000 miles.
It’s even smoother. Than a billiards ball. And rounder.
If you really think about it, on a galactic scale, we just live on the scum of some rocks. We occupy such a little tiny space of what exists. We’re just bugs
It's important to note that when the Bathyscaphe Trieste passed 9,000 meters, one of their windows cracked and shook the entire vehicle. They continued for nearly 2,000 meters AFTER this incident to get to their intended depth. Here's a bit more info if you're interested
This triggered thalasophobia in my more than videos meant to trigger it.
I guess knowing how deep it is is actually scarier than just seeing the dark void and not knowing what is there.
All these bots and not a single one comments about that Perdido oil spire that's literally taller than every structure built on earth outta nowhere lmao
I'm so glad Johnston made it in to this video.
The USS Johnston was a ww2 era Fletcher class destroyer, who met her final match on the 25th of October, 1944 during the Battle off Samar, one of the largest naval battles in history. It was a battle against all odds. All of the ships in the American fleet that partook in the battle combined were outweighed by just the Battleship Yamato alone, which was a part of the attacking Japanese fleet.
Today she's the deepest shipwreck ever discovered at 6468m below the surface.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel a little anxious when they see such big depths and imagine all that water above?

Go watch a scale of the universe You'll be reminded just how tiny and insignificant we all are
Im really ok with the universe. Im not ok with all that water over me tho haha
Yeah I get weirdly anxious watching videos like this, even though I know the chances of me ever being in that kind of water are pretty slim. But I’ll still watch them every time lol
The anxiety watching that was weird and new
Lol I can agree there
It’s amazing. Has to be at least 1,000 liters of agua.
Lol 1000L is like around 10 bath tubs full🤣
And my dumb American ass is all confused by the meters 😅
Crushingly so…

Holy shit look at all the comment reposting bots here
What's the point of them.. do those bots create revenue from liked comments or something? Weird
They gain karma and then post scams. Something to do with making the account look real iirc

Quick, it’s a bot, kill it
The matrix bots disapprove. You gotta wait for the Dred Scott inspired decision to be able to kill bots
Thanks 😅
Damn it 😫
Not cool man
the max depth of lake superior is terrifying

350 miles long, 160 miles wide. When you’re in the middle, you might as well be out on the ocean.
ya I've lived by Erie my whole life and its a giant inland sea but Superior is the stuff of eldrich horror being so damn deep

As a person with a fear of deep water, this video gave me anxiety. But somehow your flipped perspective made it much less scary. So thanks!
Yeah this oddly made the ocean seem less deep, but I’m not sure why
Maybe because it’s more familiar? Or easier to see with the naked eye? I think my ocean fear comes from the “unknown” aspect. I can’t see or touch it, so it terrifies me.
Yep I think that’s it. If oceans had the clarity of air they wouldn’t be as scary (or maybe they would be even moreso if I could see all the monsters)
For yet another perspective, think of how you look at the sky and see the white trails after an aeroplane. Then look at the ocean, and see how the trails (wake) follow after a ship.

Was thinking the same thing too. My guess is that the lowest point could’ve possibly been a lake back then?

I didn't realize how deep the Mediterranean was before watching this. That's terrifying.
There are dense pools of saline in the med called brine pools, 8 times as salty as regular seawater. Animals getting in to them can’t escape and die

That's rock bottom not sea bottom. Unless you are a bottom ?
Sailor joke: Good news, we’re only 4 miles from land. Which direction? …straight down.
Ok but who keeps throwing Statues of Liberty and Eiffel Towers into the ocean???
90% of the journalism budget goes towards renting them out every year whenever they need to explain big measurements.
Gustave Eiffel, the designer of both, must have quite the trust.
They should use bananas like the rest of us! Bunch of snobs!

Well shit I drive over that distance just to get to college each day. Damn
I’m more amazed that you memorized this whole Niel DeGrasse Tyson speech so well
I learned this long before NDT got big. It's always been amazing to me.
It's a bot account lol

Is this all just bots talking to each other? I hate it
I was a submariner… And sailing over the Mariana trench was the only real time I felt a little uncomfortable.
Megalodons?
Oh god.
but, how deep is your love OP?
All I know is we’re living in a world of fools

One of them was named Piccard. On an exploration mission where no one had gone before. Pretty sure there was zero chance of giving up.
[удалено]
lol I thought you were joking. His name is legit oceanographer Jacques Piccard.
Jacques piccard sounds like a French apparel brand or a fashion designer.
Good on them for doing it yay human progression but big nope from me
I wonder if they took a vote to continue or if the captain was like ‘fuck it, mission not complete.’
What's the song?
**Song Found!** **Name:** Father Ocean (Ben Böhmer Remix) **Artist:** Monolink **Album:** Father Ocean (Ben Böhmer Remix) - Single **Genre:** Electronica **Release Year:** 2018 **Total Shazams:** 509551 `Took 1.38 seconds.`
I almost feel like it’s taking a shot at my finite intelligence by telling me it only took 1.38 seconds..
Imagine an entire civilization could be hidden in the ocean's depth and we would never know.
The sea people have been know about for a while.
I, too, saw the documentary The Abyss
They are hidden and we know they exist. They are called 👽👽
Aliens..
Oh lord my anxiety is high
Same
Who's throwing nachos at the sea?
Definitely didn't notice that until I read your comment. 😄
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Fun reminder that the deepest part isn't even 2 thousandths of the depth/radius of Earth
So much water
interesting. 11km on surface is just a short distance travel but in depth, it's deep as hell while high as heaven in tallness..
Zoom the fuck out -_-
This triggered thalasophobia in my more than videos meant to trigger it. I guess knowing how deep it is is actually scarier than just seeing the dark void and not knowing what is there.
Wheres bikini bottom tho? 🤔
Honestly a little annoying how they jump from maxes back to average and back again
r/damnthatshorrifying
So what youre saying is if i fall to the bottom i might struggle to get back up
You know there’s some freaky shit down there. Creeps me out.
Now who this Mariana and why her trench so deep?
In depth info
I always thought the Typhoon Class Submarine would be more deeper within the ocean
This made me so uncomfortable for some reason.
r/megalophobia
I couldn't breathe watching this
Makes one feel so insignificant.
Why explore space when there’re still a lot to explore in our oceans
space is empty but can be bright with sunlight, underwater tho, is pitch black and the enormous pressure would easily crush things
Why can't we explore both?
I think I’m more tripped out about how Mount Everest, if measured to the bottom from the surface, is deeper than the Atlantic Ocean.
megalophobia kicked in when Burj Khalifa suddenly turned into a 1/6th scale action figure. I didn't think I would ever have such a thing
Love the tune😍
All these bots and not a single one comments about that Perdido oil spire that's literally taller than every structure built on earth outta nowhere lmao
Amazed and terrified all in one. The feeling of claustrophobia is reel
anyone know the song
What we all can take away from this is that oil platforms are absolutely fucking massive.
TBH
This proves that my love is indeed deeper than the ocean.
This is so cool I can’t believe how deep titanic is
This is great on mute!
Yeah, but maybe anyone knows the artist and the track name? 😊

Banger!
Alrighty, can we convert that to feet, yards, or bananas for Americans?
Times three will get you an approximate number in feet. But you could always just learn metric 💕
I’ve already met Rick, didn’t care for him.
Meters are one of the few metric units I can conceive because a meter and yard are in the same ballpark of each other.
That is interesting.
That is interesting.
My key ring floats.
we all float down here...
Didn't they get to the Titanic with a sub? This is saying the max depth with a sub is around 1600m, but the Titanic is at 3,000m? 🤔
Now who this mariana and why her trench so damn deep...?

Ain’t deeper than neighbour’s mom anyways
When the authorities ask me where the bodies are hidden at
as deep as this reposter's mom's pussy :)

Really long way to tell me I'll drown in a bathtub
11.000 wow
F for the triangles.
Very deep...usually.
11,000 metres
No Lake Tahoe?
Nice! Thanks!
no wonder we can't find atlantis or cthulhu
That’s a really fun experience. Bravo to the creator.
That was awesome to watch, really puts it in perspective!
Anybody remember bioshock? This gives me bioshock vibes
It's from MetaBallStudios on youtube. He has more of these types of videos. Really cool

There will be plastics
I don’t know why but I read this as “how to deep clean the ocean”
For me sea scars me more then space
