Fish reacts to icthyologist reacting to megalodon surviva...
General | Posted 4 years agoThis is my personal reflection on this video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p_Z_d6N4-w&ab_channel=AVNJ and i'll be going into detail on both of their "facts", theories and opinions.

"As time goes by more and more people find evidence that seems to suggest these sharks might not be as dead as we thought they are."
This sentence isn't wrong per say, but it is misleading.
You gotta read between the lines here and truly understand the meaning of each word they say.
Yes, as time goes by, we do get more evidence that might suggest things. This is pretty much the entire nature of evidence in general. It's a scientists job to analyze that evidence to find the correlations, causality and accuracy of the evidence to see if it truly is what it appears to be, whether it's still true, but can be interpreted a different way, or in fact whether the evidence was collected in a manner that obscured its true value and lead people to draw the wrong conclusions. That's kinda what I'm doing here right now. I'm taking the statements they have offered and breaking them down into their components to see if the overall picture is accurate considering all the data presented. The sentence that was presented to us very much falls into the category of the data itself being accurate, but its interpretation confused, and now i've seen it from another angle you can see how you can interpret something else from the data that was presented. This will be very important moving forward, as i've watched the entire video already and, trust me, this rule applies to almost the entire thing.

Okay so the original video proposes "This shark appears to be much bigger" and our supposedly knowledgeable friend responds that "it's impossible to measure something in a water environment." and technically both these arguments are true, as long as you take them literally. The problems for both arguments lie in the details here. However the shark may appear doesn't really matter compared to what it really is, and to say that it's impossible to judge the shark's size is just as much an assumption here also. First of all the statement that you can't measure something in water is absolutely true, but this shark isn't actually in the water, and that makes a big difference and i'll explain why. In a body of water with no reference point to compare to, there is no scale, but, at the surface of water, you can actually use ocean spray as a guide, since it follows a particular pattern that's relative to the size of water molecules. Using this you can actually measure the size of the shark, but i'm sorry to disappoint, this is no megalodon. Its certainly a very large great white shark, but it's not in fact larger than any of the sharks we've already seen and its size pales in comparison to that of a megalodon. Also if you look closely you can see that the thing in it's mouth is a seal pup and we know exactly how large those are for the young coloring it still has in the image. This lines up with the data from the ocean spray as well. A certainly large great white, but nothing spectacularly large like you'd expect from a megalodon. Let's move on.
-
"because nobody has managed to disprove it just yet, we can conclude this might be true."
Well, this statement was intended to be true, but misleading, like before, but unfortunately they should have done their research a little further than the most vocal of individuals, because it is in fact outright false.
Many people, like the reviewer of the original video, have proposed the water scale argument, which obviously would prevent anyone from being able to disprove the video, but then again they wouldn't be able to prove it either. Saying that it may be something due to lack of concrete evidence, is just speculation, and not in fact a fact, and so for a channel literally called "Factpedia", this is looking pretty shady.
There have in fact been several individuals, that have used the analysis i just gave, to accurately measure the shark. In fact, that's where i myself got the evidence i needed to measure the shark here. You should never really say that nobody has done something by just glancing at the people involved. Often more than not, you'll find someone smart has done the math, but didn't want to get mixed up in the flame war going on, so they did it outside of the public gaze. It only takes a little rummaging around to find where people aren't looking to see the information you need for yourself. Data-finding pretty much operates on the same rules as shopping around for the best deals. The first things presented to you are gonna be probably the worst choices, so you have to keep looking to find the good stuff on the back shelf.
-
Next, we're presented with a photo of what appears to be a big shark, but you'd have to be pretty darn stupid to believe it to be so. Not only can you see an obvious kink in the body shape, which makes zero sense for a streamlined aquatic animal to have, but you can in fact see the individual patchwork of the material used to make the creatures skin. I'd love to see their explanation as to why this shark has a perfectly rectangular grid pattern of scars on its body matching its perfect orientation, because surprise surprise water is fluid and the chances of something that uniform existing in perfect alignment out in the middle of the ocean with no manmade control systems in place is so improbable it's less believable than the concept of a megalodon existing today.
-
The theory that the megalodon still exists, but in an area we haven't observed, is actually a lot more likely than you think. That place being atthe bottom of the ocean, not so much. You see, as the reviewer says, living that far down presents several problems to do fluid pressure, temperature, light levels, food supply and probably many more factors still untested by science. The reviewer claims that the shark could not have adapted to such conditions, but i don't know where he gets this strange idea from, since there are in fact sharks that have done exactly that already. Their matabolisms have slowed right down to allow them to adapt to a food shortage as well as seriously cold temperatures, but obviously these sharks don't in fact live down there. They only use this space for protection on occassion and, wouldn't you know it, they avoided being detected by science for quite some time because of it. Part of the problem is that electronic equipment used to monitor aquatic life gives off an energy signature into the water and sharks don't like it. This means that some sharks will actively avoid human testing equipment, and they can sense it from a long distance away, so the odds aren't exactly going to be in our favor here. It's not all doom and gloom however, as more modern technology gives off a weaker signal than before on account of it being more energy efficient. This has allowed us to discover these sharks that previously avoided us and maybe in time as technology improves further we will find more sharks that have been hiding in the deep water.
Also, the species of coelacanth that lived millions of years ago did in fact go extinct, but that's only because it adapted over time into the modern coelacanth. Scientists were still right in their statement, if you take it literally. It was believed that they died before adapting into the modern variation we see today, but that was just a hunch based on the fact that we haven't seen any evidence of carcasses brought closer to the surface. It was never really stated to be the case, since scientists knew already that it could still be around and we might find it if we looked hard enough. That of course turned out to be the case. There is in fact nothing to say that in a similar way the prehistoric megalodon could have adapted over time into something that avoids our detection. The most obvious laughable part of all of this is that we know already of one such adaption, that being the great white shark. We kinda already know that basically the megalodon just adapted to be smaller in size over the years and now exists as the great white shark. Yes, i know that's an oversimplification of the facts here. To say that a shark like the megalodon still exists you're basically saying that there are still huge great whites out there. Coelacanths used to be huge, but they adapted to be smaller. We know of an adaptation where the megalodon did the same. Coelacanth doesn't prove anything other than what we already know to be true. Great evidence that.

"Only 15% of the ocean has been explored, because the rest is just barren space."
I must pull out the "as we believe so far." card here, because we actually don't know whether that unexplored space is in fact capable of harboring life. When you think about it there's an obvious reason why we don't. It doesn't look like it could support life and it would be a collosal waste of time and resources to search the whole area to find out whether we're wrong when the chances are we may be wrong only for a very small portion of the area we checked. That's not to say that megalodon is hiding there, as for a start that would mean it would need to have adapted quite drastic changes to live in those conditions, which is far less believable than the concept of it living simply too far down for us to reasonably find it. Ocean life we know does travel across these areas but they never stay there. It's far more likely that sharks might be avoiding us and dipping into these areas when they sense us coming just for the moment while they return to the kinds of areas we expect to find them sufficiently far enough away that we can't research them. Certainly a large shark would need a hefty food source or a very slow metabolism to live for any considerable length in such a place, where food is apparently scarce. For something like a megalodon this is unlikely unless the area is harboring some form of food source they could utilise that we are yet to discover.

The world war 2 photo catches the image of 2 fins sticking above the water. The funny thing is there's nothing to suggest that they belong to the same animal. it could simply be the dorsal fin of 2 different orca swimming together as they normally do. The fact this was found in the ocean off cape town is kinda damning in this respect since its home to a lot of orca and the chance of seeing two orca fins popping above the water in this alignment is vastly more likely than it being a giant shark, not to mention that it would be particularly dangerous for a megalodon to live in these waters in the first place what with all the orca swimming around that of course are well known for preying on sharks even when their prey is larger than them in size.
"Some marine biologist said it."
"Source please"
"no"
Fantastic argument lol.

"They could be in the Mariana trench"
That would require some extreme adaptation. It's much more likely they're just living near the coast as they used to, but we've just managed to miss them so far. That's more likely than you think. We know of several shark species that were swimming around in areas we'd already loojked in and just didn't happen to find earlier by chance. Ocean exploration is costly so we aren't monitoing the oceans 24/7. If it's not there at the exact moment we go looking, we might just miss it. Let's not forget the size of this creature. If it's living near the coast it would have to be sufficiently far away from the coastline just to prevent itself becoming beached. From the shore it's gonna be pretty hard to make out the difference between a whale and a megalodon. Coastal observation make up most of our observations because they require little money and effort. Actually going out there to dive and bring monitoring equipment to document it is a lot bigger task. Fish like all animals are animate. They literally move around. Chances are they see something strange and move away from it rather than bother interacting with it. They have the liberty of choice when it comes to where they want to be and they have no reason to stick around when there's something unpredictable nearby. It's not necessarily a fear, but rather that they can't be bothered dealing with that today.

About the Google Maps image...
What on earth am i looking at? Please explain. Which part is meant to be the shark? You can't just show the image without explanation. It's not obvious what we're looking at.
If you mean the outlined area, yeah it does kinda look like Hawaii and without some sort of scale to guide us it might a well be, not to mention it could just be a whale.

The 1800's ship finding more modern teeth...
And you found them where? Icy waters? You know we've found mammoths still preserved in ice even today. Maybe, just maybe, a magalodon became frozen in ice and thawed out a few thousand years ago.
-
"This video footage of a large shark, must be a megalodon."
Remember as i said before that you can scale it using a reference point? We can identify the fish species swimming alongside the shark and use that to scale how large the shark is. Funny thing is, these fish are actually relatively small in size. This isn't even a large shark lol.

12 Hours until Shad-geddon
General | Posted 4 years agohttps://old.reddit.com/r/AkiraHEmpi.....il_shadgeddon/
For those that don't know, me and my friends at Capricorn Arms in the Lake Superior region have a chicken bone or two to pick with a particular YouTube vlogger known as Shadiversity.
Now Shad prides himself on being the voice of logic and reason when it comes to oldskool weaponry and warfare and he's done a lot to separate himself from his old mall ninja routes and cement himself within the ranks of other weapons experts on YouTube, even asking their advice on occassion and forming friendships with them.
There's just one teeny tiny problem with that.
Shad is a fake, charletan, fraudster, whatever words you choose.
Now I'm not saying that all of these weapons experts don't know what they're talking about and that mall ninjas are valid in their choices of weaponry and stuff. I'm just saying that Shad IN PARTICULAR does not belong here.
Now why would i say such a thing? Is it because of his routes? He's come a long way, you know? No, it's because of his methods and these have been consistent since right back in the beginning when he was a still a mall ninja.
Shad himself is no expert. His beliefs on weapons are based on half-assed observations he has from weebing around in his garden for a few minutes rather than any practical tests, and the only time he does know something outside of this bracket is when another expert with more knowledge than him has told him that little piece of information and even then it's not always accurate depending on how that expert came to that conclusion themselves. This is because sometimes the knowledge is from research, experimentation and local reasoning and... sometimes it was an off the cuff remark or an opinion that Shad decided to take as fact.
So, in 12 hours we, bare in mind we are a weapons testing facility, with routes that stretch back all the way into ancient human history, including ancient China AND medieval Europe, two locations where pretty much everything Shad has reviewed come from, so we are obviously going to know what we're talking about, are gonna absolutely lay into each video going backwards in date order to point out as many things wrong with what he said as we care to elaborate on.
Just looking at the titles alone of what we have to work with at a glance here there are some really juicy morsals.
i see a vid on mall ninja weapons which to be fair that one will probably be us mocking the "ninjas" in pretty much the same way but we can always add additional input.
something about magic in warfare which just straight off makes no sense because magic can do literally anything and really doesn't have any rules, but we have experts on chemical and energy weapons here so we can ask for their input i guess.
something slagging off Skyrim which is always fun to dunk on considering the average hater has zero knowledge of the world's lore and tends to forget the restrictions of game development.
a video about longbows, which i know for a fact is going to wind up one of our weapons experts and i don't even know what his stance is on it yet.
a video about a weapon Shad himself invented. that will be fun.
a video on stick weaponry which our resident "Fucker" can absolutely destroy him on.
a video on the "wrist blade from Assassin's Creed", which i think you'll find is called a "retractable katar" and we have personal experience in the field on how effective that one is.
a video on "HEMA", which we have just about as much knowledge as there is to get on that subject, including information that is ONLY available to us, so prepare to have your argument ripped right open.
a video about crowbars or to use the technical term they're known as "ravensbeaks" and they were absolutely an effective weapon long before being repurposed as a household tool so i can't wait to see what stupid thing he says on that.
a video about magnet which i personally CANNOT NOT take as an offense with my extensive knowledge on the subject, yet again including obscure knowledge that not many people know.
a video about how to use a longsword, his favorite weapon. straight to kicking him in the balls on that one.
ripping on the double edged axe i see? we all know who's gonna destroy his argument on that.
a vid on Damascus steel. that's a personal favorite topic of one of ours.
a vid on nunchucks, a classic weeb favorite that has a very specific way of working, which no doubt this idiot couldn't figure out and he probably ends up slapping himself all over the place trying to use it.
the "shield sword"? i think you'll find it's officially called a "bastard sword" even if Wikipedia wrongly classifies that. yeah we have an in house expert on it.
Mjolnir and Stormbreaker or rather neither of those two weapons because the idiot knows nothing and we have an expert on exactly how too.
and that's just the first year of vids on an account that stretches back to 2015.
wet your whistle boys.
it's gonna be roast tonight!

a vid on nunchucks, a classic weeb favorite that has a very specific way of working, which no doubt this idiot couldn't figure out and he probably ends up slapping himself all over the place trying to use it.
the "shield sword"? i think you'll find it's officially called a "bastard sword" even if Wikipedia wrongly classifies that. yeah we have an in house expert on it.
Mjolnir and Stormbreaker or rather neither of those two weapons because the idiot knows nothing and we have an expert on exactly how too.
and that's just the first year of vids on an account that stretches back to 2015.
wet your whistle boys.
it's gonna be roast tonight!
