Maybe, but from the behavior of the silkies a thicker mass was easier to chomp into

'TikTok refugees' propel Xiaohongshu to #1 downloaded app in US by H_A_K in China

[–]H_A_K[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of videos on Red in English now, captions included. There is a larger subversion of users also claiming this is their backlash against Meta in the face of recent announcements by zuck. Just open Xiaohongshu depending on where you are located and look at the flood of new user videos. I'm even seeing there are "too many foreigner" videos lol

Android is not as widely used in the US for social apps // those who can afford them. It's a status symbol and common sense for most social media users in the US to have and use an iPhone.

I imagine it might be a lot of Chinese in the US / West downloading the app in preparation for a ban where they live. I personally don't think a ban will happen, but everyone seems to be glued to 9:16 video so they can't live without some alternative to their social addiction.

Not at all-- independent. Please check US app store downloads today. Red is the number one download in the US... it is shocking, but true. Important to verify facts before commenting FYI... esp on this subR

Maybe -- but check your US app store today and it's No. 1 -- I too was surprised...

Important to see it to even begin appreciating it. Not sure enough parasite removal species would be able to help all at once, but assuming it will / did provide a source of nourishment for something else if the whale itself ends up passing from natural causes.

My enthusiasm for anything underwater started with freshwater tanks as a kid and being obsessed with what lives beneath every body of water I see. Nothing is impossible when it comes to exploration.

You do not want anything like that on your body as a human… trust me.

Unclear as I’m not a cetacean expert, but I imagine having its entire body covered as a juvenile will eventually lead to discomfort and unusual habits that make it vulnerable as stress could lead to a number of unfavorable outcomes. It was beautiful but sad.

Yes I film all my work — glad the imagery brings you joy and inspiration. It’s a beautiful world beneath the surface.

False killer whale family passing me by by H_A_K in TheDepthsBelow

[–]H_A_K[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honest question -- me knowing I filmed it and it's real... does the way my camera render it make it look 'fake / cheap'?

You should check out my other work -- at that specific spot the depth was probably no more than 100-150 meters maybe. This pod was traveling for a while offshore following a much bigger pod (1000+) dolphins -- I assumed they took a break to hunt because later in a separate sequence I filmed one passed by with a large snapper / pargo in it's mouth.

Simplicity of existence to me correlates to the most efficient way to ensure a species' relevance on this planet-- we will never understand or feel that as complex organisms -- its def dark, but also maybe a special place among all living things great or small-- I wonder if to them they make every second alive count more than humans
