Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!

These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.

This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.

New plush project: a six inch (2x life size!) plush Willis from my Webcomic Awful Hospital. The comic is now ten years old, but this will be its first plush project! I decided to go through kickstarter and stuffedanimalpros like my past plushes, because I get to keep a bit more that way than if I did one of those makeship or youtooz ones. I might still try those for my next thing! A different thing!!! This needs around 50 orders to get made, and will use most of the $2500 initial budget to product a run of 100. Just the one batch! 100 people can get a Willis maybe, and that's probably it!

This also helps sustain my general existence while working every day on multiple things (but mostly still to do with Mortasheen)

Ashore and fish are different creatures and walking fish are certainly a thing only in fairy tales and art.

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like

huge fan of when the good guys are themed on dark colors and spiky scrappy punk aesthetics and the bad guys are themed on light colors and angelic imagery and order. always such a banger.
