    Sorry, what?? There are no hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean???

    Fucking biologist needs to go back to school.

    There’s no life at hydro thermal vents at the surface of the ocean because there are much safer and more reliable ways to get energy, but there are absolutely areas of active geothermal extremes at the surface of the ocean.

    Hell there are hydro thermal vent remnants in the coastal ranges above sea level.

        Terrible pop science, and people who are happily ignorant as long as it’s for the lulz.

        I’ve studied enough oceanography to know that this is bullshit.

        But if you want a community that isn’t critical of bullshit, well there are plenty of religious organizations that would love you membership.

      Look, I’m not a fan of them either, but you can’t go around referring to members of parliament that way.

      The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that

      Wow, speaking truth to inaccurate "meme"s gets community disagreement? You guys are a bunch of ignorant sheep.

        Setting aside the issue of intelligent sea worms, why is the meme inaccurate? The point of the meme is about a professional confidently making an inaccurate claim, why would you believe any of the other information they state is more accurate than the claim they made?
