omg did u see this??!! scientists just caught the DEEPEST fish on camera lol 27k feet!!! i mean who else can say they've seen a creature that's literally from another world and it's like, how do they even survive down there with no eyes or swim bladder?! its like magic and we need to know more about these creatures ASAP! the japan trench is sooo cool and i'm low-key jealous that i didn't get to be a part of this epic research

Ugh, have you seen this news ? They just captured a fish that lives in like, way deeper than anything else on Earth ! 8,336 meters is insane, dude! But here's the thing... why are scientists so obsessed with studying these creatures? I mean, isn't it already pretty clear that they're some of the most resilient beings on the planet? It seems to me like we're just scratching the surface (no pun intended) and there's a whole lot more going on beneath the waves.

And have you noticed how expensive all this research is? Like, $200,000 per lander . That's some serious money for basically sending robots down into the dark depths of the ocean. What are they really looking for in those depths that we can't see ourselves? Is it something sinister lurking beneath the waves? I'm not saying that's what it is, but... there has to be more to this than just pure scientific curiosity, right?
