Would you fuck a whale's blow hole?
Is that something that you've thought about? Something that turns you on?

When I was in high school, I blew my knee out playing football. My career was over, and they had me heavily drugged on pain meds. One day I was really high, and was just watching discovery channel and a program about the deep sea vents came on and that's when I realized I wanted to do that. Haven't looked back ever since. Just love the ocean and the beauty. My favorite place to have been is Alaska by far.

Do whales like things on their blow holes?
With dolphins it's well established that they enjoy having sex for fun and pleasure.

Why are corals called cnidarians?

Favorite phylum?

>>715013364
Well since it's a breathing hole prob not, but it's true dolphins love sex. The largest dolphin is the killer whale, and they have been seen masturbating

this is a field that I'm interested in, is it worth pursuing? is the money decent enough are are jobs available???
>>
>>715011599
Do you have crabs?
>>
>>715013481
The name Cnidaria comes from the Greek word "cnidos," which means stinging nettle. When you touch these, you can usually feel a good sting. I think coral wise it's talking about coral such as fire coral that sting and burn on contact. Slid bare ass into a group of that when I was working in the Caribbean.

how come you only hear about marine biologists? do other branches of the service not have biologists too?
>>
>>715013909
It depends on what you want to do with it. I've learned that a marine biology degree can get you into A LOT of places. You just need to love what you do, because it is a lot of paper work and studying. I love it because of taxonomy and field guides. But you get to see some amazing things, a few months back I did a necropsy on a killer whale, and that was a blast.

Yeah, I was going to bring that up next. Would blowing a load in its blow hole cause problems for it? Like getting a deep throat bj from a girl and blowing into her lungs.

That's a tough one. Honestly I can't answer that. I feel like if its destroying the population it should be cut back, like with north pacific right whales, but by no means should it be stopped.

My wife studied environmental science, geology, and is now working on her masters is karst-hydrogeology (caves, groundwater, aquifers, etc)

How do you feel about ocean acidification? People worry the most about climate change/global warming, but IMO, and the vast majority of the opinions of her colleges, ocean acidification (which has its roots in climate change/global warming) is going to be the real thing that wnds up fucking us all

>>
>>715015743
As Sylvia Earle said: “No Water No life; No Blue No Green.” Ocean acidification would absolutely fuck humanity. The biggest world food source would slowly die off and we would be in big trouble. Global warming melts the ice caps, and that will do some damage. I've seen that doing ringed seal research. But humans can adapt to global warming and rising sea levels. But if you take the fish out of the sea, we lose a huge food source.
>>
>>715016024
I'd say go for it, #Dolphinequality
>>
>>715016329
>>715016545
Do either of you believe acidification could happen fast enough to do major harm?

Life, both plant and animal is highly adaptive. I think most life would adapt just fine to slowly changing conditions, and new life would evolve too.

Serious question.
So the icebergs are melting and the sea level is raising and hurricanes and other disasters are happening more frequently. If the earth will be all covered in water some day is it possible we'll develop fins and gills realy fast? And actually live underwater and start a new civilization of mermaids and mermans?

You made an argument that it's defective culture, yet you indicated there are no successful blacks in the world who certainly aren't living in a homogeneous culture.
>>
>>715018972
There are no successful blacks in the world without whites helping them. The black culture is inherently problematic, the only thing that can save them is white people. That's why the more black people adopt white culture the more successful they would become.
>>

Oh I can't be that specific.
I'm on the other side of the country.
But under 100k, probably not.
But have a look, get on a real estate site and look at properties and prices.

Because sometimes people who don't live where you do matter too, and their livelihood may impact your life so maybe we should just not destroy the reefs and let them vanish

they don't get the bends. divers get the bends because if they took a full breath at 4atm and surfaced, it would be 4x the volume of a full breath at 1atm

if you have 1 full breathe of air at surface pressure (1atm) then at 4 atm you'd have 1/4 breathe of air in your lungs due to the compression

So now the corals are causing the storms?

Aside from that absurd notion, trying to change the seismic activity and the weather patterns that actually do cause extreme tidal fluctuations seems like a bit of an impossibility.

But sure, change the laws of nature rather than just not living in a bad climate zone.
