IIRC a study did show that does fuck up a lot of them. I can’t remember if they are temporarily or permanently blinded, but it’s not great for them.

And then shows the world you look like a muppet, when it was really not an issue in the dark 😤

lol ... it would be like an alien species flying around in a floating spaceship over a city and using a floodlight that emits powerful xrays to view everything around it, blasting everyone with radiation that will make everyone sick and unwell .... all the while the aliens capturing documentary footage of this planet full of life they've never seen before.

Ah, they seem to communicate by vomiting and bleeding from their skin. Interesting...

I recently went through a 1 pound bag of pulled pork in a single sitting. That, was fun.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe you but my fun had Aliens and radiation poisoning

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah my fun had spiced apple cider infused pulled pork and meat sweats. I think we are talking about basically the same thing here.

Technically accurate, it's just millions of thousands

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 18 points 3 months ago

It's like saying Julius Caesar is dead for over sixty years. Technically true.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can’t we make super sensitive camera sensors that make sense in such dark environments?

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 35 points 3 months ago

We kinda can, but they sort of require the frame to be still, which is not a thing in the deep sea.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought they claimed to enjoy photons. Fake fan!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 months ago

I would react like this too.
