One time I shared a post that contained (unbeknownst to me) incorrect information about how big anglerfish are and people sent me anon hate about it for years and accused me of being the center of a conspiracy to spread fish-based misinformation, I would occasionally get messages in my inbox out of the blue like "You're a terrible person for telling lies about fish and I hope you die," and I think that that more than anything else is the real Tumblr Dot Com experience

Anyway anglerfish are fucking huge. They're born the size of a Ford F250 and grow up to be six times taller than God.

no, you're thinking of sunfish.

That's less than half the size of your average anglerfish

anglerfish, at their absolute largest, barely exceed a centimeter in length. i hate you and please delete your blog

natalieironside

That's technically true but who's to say how big those centimeters are

ofbodiesofcities

are they smooth?

natalieironside

Every which way, just like their very close relative the shark

Centimeters are related to sharks???? 😯
