Scientists film deepest ever fish on seabed off Japan | CNN

I just can't even imagine how harsh that environment is on those tiny fishies ! Like, 27k feet under water? It's crazy to think about them swimming around calmly like they own the place . And the fact that they've been living down there for so long without us knowing much about them is just mind-blowing. I mean, we're still discovering new species all the time and it's like our planet is hiding secrets from us . The tech behind these sea robots is insane too - $200k for one machine? That's wild . But at the same time, it's amazing that scientists are pushing the boundaries of what's possible to learn more about our oceans and the creatures that live in them. We really need to protect those ecosystems before they're gone forever .

I cant believe its been so hard for humans to get down that far with all those tech upgrades...think about it, 27k feet under water and then you gotta use some robot thingy to look at a tiny fish just chillin on the seabed...its kinda amazing that these researchers managed to break through the record with such awesome pics of this little guy

I'm low-key impressed by these researchers! They've basically cracked open the secrets of the deepest ocean on the planet . I mean, 8,336 meters is just insane! And to think, it's not even like they were exploring some abandoned shipwreck or something - it was just a regular ol' snailfish chillin' on the seabed .

But what really blows my mind is that these researchers used robots to get this footage . Like, they didn't even need to take any humans down there, which is crazy considering how expensive it'd be. $200k for one robot? Yikes! But I guess if we wanna learn more about the deepest parts of our ocean, we gotta invest some serious cash .

It's also pretty cool that these researchers were able to get footage of snailfish behavior and stuff . I mean, it's not every day you see a fish just hanging out on the seabed like it owns the place . It really highlights how adaptable deep-sea creatures are, right? Like, who knew snailfish could be so chill down there?

I'm thinking... what's the real reason they're so interested in that one fish? It's like they want us to believe it's just about exploring the ocean and learning more about its creatures, but I'm not buying it. Have you ever noticed how often "breakthroughs" happen at just the right moment to further some "important" research agenda? This snailfish is probably being used as a pawn in a much bigger game... maybe they're using it to test out some new technology or study its genetic makeup for some sinister purpose. I don't know about you, but my mind is racing with all the possible reasons behind this discovery and it's giving me chills!
