What's going on in the left photo? Does the squid have bioluminescent danglers at the front?

Yeah, it's wild they do actually have large "photophores" at the ends of their arms. More info here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taningia_danae

Taningia danae, the Dana octopus squid, is a species of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae, the octopus squids. It is one of the largest known squid species, and it has one of the largest photophores (light organs) known in any organism.

Holy crap, that's terrifying and so cool! Thanks for the info!

With such statsian measurements, its hard to tell for the rest of us; are the pizzas big for the US or for normal people?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In America if you order the largest size pizza and it fits through the door horizontally, you're legally permitted to eat the delivery driver.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 16 points 3 weeks ago

They've been washing up on shore for over a century. What do you mean 'evidence discovered'?

What used to be considered a large pizza is now sold as extra large and it really isn't as big as an old large pizza its like what a medium was . So this thing has a big ass body and beedie little eyes
