IIRC a study did show that does fuck up a lot of them. I can’t remember if they are temporarily or permanently blinded, but it’s not great for them.

Aw their eyes went from lil hugs to lil kisses
Why don't scientists just use nods
That's still amplifying light that is there. In total blackness they still don't work. In very low light they generate a lot of visual noise. You'd need to provide some kind of light source for this no matter what.
And then shows the world you look like a muppet, when it was really not an issue in the dark 😤
I looked prettier when you couldn't see me!
So that's where Salacious Crumb has been hiding
lol ... it would be like an alien species flying around in a floating spaceship over a city and using a floodlight that emits powerful xrays to view everything around it, blasting everyone with radiation that will make everyone sick and unwell .... all the while the aliens capturing documentary footage of this planet full of life they've never seen before.
Ah, they seem to communicate by vomiting and bleeding from their skin. Interesting...
For the love of all that is holy, my ANUS is BLEEDING!
I recently went through that scenario with DeepSeek, that was fun
I recently went through a 1 pound bag of pulled pork in a single sitting. That, was fun.
I believe you but my fun had Aliens and radiation poisoning
Yeah my fun had spiced apple cider infused pulled pork and meat sweats. I think we are talking about basically the same thing here.
im taking a 30 minute shit on company time i think i have you both beat here
I'm on unemployment so I'm getting paid to shit post.
Agreed
The scientists:
thousands of years
Technically accurate, it's just millions of thousands
It's like saying Julius Caesar is dead for over sixty years. Technically true.
Can’t we make super sensitive camera sensors that make sense in such dark environments?
We kinda can, but they sort of require the frame to be still, which is not a thing in the deep sea.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought they claimed to enjoy photons. Fake fan!
I would react like this too.
They're selling chocolate?
why i s every deep sea creature the most disgusting thing ive ever seen?
this was pretty hilarious looking.
yeah it's kinda cute in a fucked up way. poor guy getting absolutely blasted.
We would probably think the same about land surface creatures if we evolved in deep sea
Never trust a lung fish
I can't decide if its aww or ahhhh!
