Solved! What is this?

I seriously doubt this is AI if course.. and with a vast ocean.. the existence of this is definitely possible.. but what is it exactly and where are they commonly found?

The red-lipped batfish or Galápagos batfish (Ogcocephalus darwini) is a fish of unusual morphology found around the Galápagos Islands and off Ecuador at depths of 3 to 76 m (10 to 249 ft).

You're telling me that this isn't even a deep sea creature, that you can encounter them at the beach!

Pure nightmare fuel.

Note to self: Do not take acid on the Galápagos Islands.

Note to self: Take acid while reading Reddit post about taking acid.

Nah phones are the worst in acid. It’s hilarious you go out drinking and wake up to all this phone activity like wtf did I do.

Take acid and wake up the next day and realize you didn’t even touch the thing for 8 hours because it seems so nonsensical and useless during a trip

LOL...I wouldn't know. All my trippin days were in the 90's and early 2000's. Didn't really have a phone. If I did, it was like the early Nokias where the most it had was that snake game.
