Is the Ocean the creepiest place on earth? (12 pics, 6 gifs)

First of all, it is very deep, so deep, we’re actually not sure how deep it is, which is terrifying to think about.

What we do know is that the pressure is so intense, no human* could make it even a quarter of the way down without THIS happening to his or her body:

This is what most of the ocean looks like:

It’s probably better that it’s dark down there because THIS is the kind of creature you’d see:






I mean, there are ROLY-POLIES the size of your HEAD.

And SEA SPIDERS you’d need a bed sheet to squish!

And SEA WORMS big enough to use as jump ropes!

And whatever the hell THIS is:

Scientists estimate that up to 80% of all living things live in the ocean.

Since there is no sunlight, there are no plants. So nearly everything down there preys on FLESH.

Every freakfish in the deep sea is just swimming around, chomping on anything it can find.

What I’m getting at is this: Nearly everything has teeth

It’s a frickin’ hellscape down there. There are vents of boiling-hot sulfuric acid that would take your face clean off your skull.

It literally snows sh!t.

And there are little to no standards of reality. For example, this is a barreleye:

The worst part is we’ve only explored less than 5% of the ocean.

So basically, we don’t even know what the hell is happening down there.

Thousands of ‘Hacked’ Silkworms at MIT Create a Giant Dome

As the silkworms get older and turn into moths on the structure, according to Fast Company, they are capable of laying over a million eggs — that’s enough to supply the amount of silkworms needed to construct hundreds of more domes. Crazy. Here’s a closer look at the structure:
