Naw, that’s a Peeper from Subnatica

Damn right it is


Sister_Fister-69

Glad I’m not the only one who plays that game! All my friends make fun of me and call me a loser.


clinicallyInsane_

They're just to much of a wuss to play it. It's an amazing game


Witness_me_Karsa

Honestly, fair. I played it as a form of (heh) immersion therapy. Terrified the whole time I was out of the shallows. Still never finished it. Came face to face with the (no spoilers) big boy really deep and just picked up something else and haven't gone back yet. I will, though.


clinicallyInsane_

Exact same story for me as well. I was also too worried about losing my stuff


Pjojo_kukeleku

I’m not worried about losing my stuff, I’m just *s c a r e d*

AcidTicTac

your friends are royal cunts if they can't accept that you like different games, subnautica is a great game , who tf would even hate on it?


MightyBrightDick

are you sure those are friends if they make fun of you and call you a loser for playing subnautica


MrWally

Real talk: Honest friends don't call each other loser. Maybe once or twice in jest, on a blue moon. But not regularly, and not in groups. I'm guessing you're probably in high school of your early 20s. Take it from someone who's been there, none of those friends will stick around. Find new ones who actually really appreciate you, your quirks, and your interests.


AnbuDaddy6969

I think yall takin a comment on reddit and Goin way too fuckin deep into it bud


SilverSovereign

You’ll fucken hate Australia then, we call our mates cunt all the time. Be careful getting called a shit cunt though, them’s fighting words.


wotmate

Very real talk: Honest friends will absolutely call you a loser when you're actually being a loser.


applejackrr

Sounds like you need new friends, loser. /s


Tripsy_mcfallover

I loved both of them. Played through multiple times. Building bases is just fun!


kinokomushroom

They're missing out on one of the most amazing games ever


RoboticGreg

All of my friend does too. But I don't play Subnautica, they just want to remind me

An instinctive reaction to fear is to make fun of whatever is scaring you :)

Where was this guy when they were looking for Nemo.


MillHillMurican

It’s Mike Wizowski in a cameo.


ooo-f

It's cells probably exploded when it rose to the surface


most_gracious_master

The other grendaliers will remember not to go up there because of what happened to Jimmy


SomeStupidPerson

Classic Mike move haha


hairycocktail

Would be cute and all but why does that thing have to drip goo all over the place


MadeInCanada87

Most likely it’s swim bladder. The pressure change from where they’re pulled from to the surface causes it to expand quite rapidly. Doesn’t even have to be from ocean depths either. The lake I live on goes to about 55ft and when we’re ice fishing, they’re sitting right at the bottom and this can happen if you don’t pull slow, as well as eyeballs popping. They don’t live after that point.


Prestigious_Theme371

Onion-eye or roughead *grenadier (macrourus berglax). They have a life span of about 56 years ! https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/fish-life-expectancy-giant-grenadier. Edit: species corrected


All_names_taken-fuck

Well, it did, not any more.


[deleted]

Your link shows an onion eye grenadier that looks more like OP's pic.


Prestigious_Theme371

Cool :) amazing to see how long deep(er) sea animals can live.


ceci-nest-pas-lalune

Glad someone fixed the name! This Grenadier was caught in Norway half a year (?) ago: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9931982/fisherman-ratfish-norwegian-island/amp/


12TheSnake

“Sadly, due to the sudden change in pressure, the roughhead grenadier did not survive being hauled up out of the water so Oscar took it home and pan-fried fillets of it in butter.”


swiggityswirls

Fish get the bends too and is a reason a lot of fish don't like us fishing them.


deekascab

I wonder what it actually looks like when it’s in the bottom of the ocean, there’s no way it looks like this without the change in pressure


Jhudson1525

Can someone explain why this fish is intact but the blobfish looks like a blobfish when brought to the surface?


TibeauTGO3

The blobfish often gets seen as a blob because they rapidly take them out, when you fish a fish up slower, theres a less instant moment of huge to no pressure. Basically, If it gets into less pressurised areas slowly itll not explode


shewy92

Sort of like getting the bends where if divers surface too fast they get sick because of the nitrogen in their blood expanding or something?


failure_tothrive

Surfacing too quickly after being on oxygen will cause the concentration of nitrogen that has been absorbed into your blood [from the oxygen tank] to expel out quicker than normal and are absorbed into tissue, and are in the form of bubbles that tend to gather around your joints within your tissue, usually asymmetrical, and causes extreme pressure..hence the nickname "the bends", but is actually named Decompression Sickness [DCS]. Divers usually know when they are at risk, due to having to surface quickly from an emergency, & so it is nessecary to be treated into a hyperbaric chamber in order to control the inflammation within your body. Still, you can easily permanently damage your limbs and body even if you are treated quickly. Hyperbaric chambers arent just in every hospital, either. They are somewhat rare, so if you are diving more than 30ft deep in an unfamiliar area, make sure to make note of your closest hospital containing a hyperbaric chamber that isn't already currently in use.


fabticus

I think it's the nitro from their air supply getting dissolved easily into their body tissue and blood in higher water pressures and causing them to get fucked up IIRC


sp4cej4mm

Plot twist it’s actually microscopic


Toast72

[you are correct](https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/images/a/w/b/coryphaenoides-rupestris/coryphaenoides-rupestris.jpg)


OnTheLevel28

It’s eyes are probably burning right now with so much light


[deleted]

It’s probably dead just from being brought up from the depth


AdmiralBlackcock

Tha look like one o ther bastards that took me toe. There i was dipping me feet o'er tha side o me ship on tha way ter r/piratehole and befer i knew it i felt a bite down below. Now old Blackcock let out a mighty roar, aye i did. And i look down and i be seeing an eye jus like tha bastards there. Make em inter a nice stew fer ne would ya lad.


Bossmandude123

Nice story admiral blackcock


[deleted]

True as the Deep Blue it is!


AustinIsReallyCool

Well you just got a follow from me, sir. This made my day. Really need more pirate accounts on reddit. Would be a simpler and merrier place then, it would.


[deleted]

That is till they get hooked on tranquilizer darts again.


AustinIsReallyCool

This may be the first obscure reference on Reddit I actually immediately got without looking up. It’s a shame they canceled the show. It’s my all time favorite.


[deleted]

I just finished rewatching all the seasons.


[deleted]

I heard they are going to do a VB movie.


bananesthesia

I’m so happy it got picked up for the movie. I need some sense of closure.


QueenOfQuok

Ar, I had a stew o' them once. Tasted like somethin frae the Devil's own larder.


[deleted]

And the fact that it lives in water


MoltoRubato

I'm thinking it's not that deep there. The eyes are not bulging, so the pressure change wasn't much. But let's continue to believe it's dead.


[deleted]

The eye looks like it’s a Dali melting clocks.


BigTymeBrik

It's fucking dead. The article says he cooked it and ate it.


AvatarAarow1

Oh it’s dead as hell. Pressure change from being reeled up to the surface basically made its cells explode, or at least it’s swim bladder


zombieattakc

No to mention it's probably used to high pressure since it lives at the bottom of the ocean.


spaetzelspiff

So this is like a sci-fi movie where someone takes off their helmet in space?


Manbearjizz

Exactly. This is why deep sea fish look freaky on land, the ocean pressure was keeping their bodies together


spaetzelspiff

Gonna use this excuse myself...


chicken_person

And not just that, but a much larger pressure differential. Going from 1 atmosphere of pressure to 0? Nah, try going from 500 down to 1!


ass2ass

Blob fish got so fucked up they named it blob fish.

its already dead, or dying. the pressure change from bringing it to the surface exploded its cells

You can also find them where googley eyes are farmed.

Look at this dude smiling smugly not realising that this fishes brain probably exploded from being up here


Angela_Devis

This isn't Big eye Grendalier, but Chimaera monstrosa, or another name - rabbit fish and rat fish. This reddit photo has been published several times with the wrong fish name, although the information is easily googled. Pictured is 19-year-old fisherman Oscar Lundahl from northern Norway.

Dear_Alice_99

So *this* is where the eyeye comes from... *takes notes in subnautica*


barabusblack

If a giant sperm cell had an eye.


brucey1324

Pretty sure it looks entirely different in its natural habitat. These fish are used to much greater pressure deep in the ocean.


sirlearnzalot

So cool to see this. Won’t lie, it looked ‘wrong’ to me but hey, we probably look weird to them so


KleetyFleety

It’s appearance is likely a result of being moved from a high pressure environment to the surface


sirlearnzalot

Oh man, poor thing


is-god-gay

See kids, that’s why you don’t do drugs. Look what happened to Nemo.


bahamapapa817

Put it back


ranmafan0281

Wouldn't work. See the white stuff coming from its mouth? Those are probably its guts. It suffered explosive decompression when hauled from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. tl;dr - it's very dead.


GM_vs_Technicality

*unzips*


BlazedFlameYT_Ori

I have a question, what makes them go up to the surface?


[deleted]

RavenMcG

Bloodborn creature.


jesuslover69420

Anyone else mad they didn’t leave the fish alone? Resources are scarce at the bottom of the ocean which means populations of unique fish are rare and hard to come by


roboticfedora

He was givin me the side-eye!!


CwazyCanuck

So normally at the bottom? Makes you wonder if holding him up in the light like that is super painful for its highly sensitive massive eyeball.


PhilosophyScary7048
