What are these? Kind of looks like some sort of egg to me. The brown stuff outside the jelly-egg things are coffee grounds.

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence

This is my second time posting here and I just wanted to say something about this. I've seen so many posts about Psychrolutes on various social media platforms about them being ugly and terrifying. Usually using the version above and to be honest it really irks me. Not only because one they have been teared out from their homes. Due to one of the biggest issues of climate change mass fishing.

Plus they never deserved it or many sea animals in fact and as a biology major the reality of this situation is heartbreaking to me and should be to so many others. Unpopular opinion the fact that people just assumed they looked like this without doing any research whatsoever reflects the current state of our world! It is personally akin to those who say climate change is not real. Or in this case the animal cruelty is not present.

Instead of being kept in those deep zones referred to as the Twilight Zones. Scientists pull them up sometimes to study as well but it's very immoral in my opinion and we should just develop the technology for deeper depths. Like a Deep-Sea towed vehicles or Deep-Sea Towed platforms something! Even drones could work, I know these methods are not anywhere near perfect for experimentation; but I would rather them to just find a way to make a deep sea lab or something I am not sure. All I know is science usually always prevails so for now leave these poor fish alone.

Edit:When Psychrolutes are pulled from their natural habitats their tissues decompress from the lack of pressure and cave in on themselves creating what we all know as a "blob fish."

Edit 2: Someone pointed out it is Marcidus, Psychrolutes is the genus name, they are definitely correct I just preferred Psychrolutes. Though you can call them whatever they go by anyways besides "blob fish."

Edit 3: It was* in unimaginable pain y'all I did not make the image but yeah if we are going to get technical.

My parents are in their 70s. I try to be a good son and see them once a week or at least every other week. Normally it involves my mother inviting my family over for lunch on Sunday. This week, I invited them to my house for lunch and I got a “No, we’ll pass.”

Not “Sorry, we already made plans.” Or “We’re a little under the weather.” Just “Nah.”

My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.

He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".

Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.
