one thing that really fucks me up about fishing today is that fish were much larger (and older) back in the day. even shellfish were big as fuck; oysters were the size of steaks. and these days the fish are so much smaller, even the Tuna. it takes a long long time to grow a 1400lb Tuna...
cw: seafood for links in this post
This was because they actually had a chance to grow. There wasn't much demand for oysters before we had the technology to can them or ship them by train.
100% it's the same shit with forests you gotta give things fucking time to grow
They had Krakens and Leviathans and Cthulhus way back. Fisherman were zany. Imagine reeling in Poseidon.
"oh hey Poseidon, sorry about that. Actually before I catch and release ya, a little birdie told me Laomedon wasn't planning on skipping out on your fee for that little construction job you did.
Holy shit, that's what Cracked.com looks like now? It looks like any generic buzzfeed ripoff with 0 soul or personality. I'm surprised it's still around.
more surprising that they're putting out articles in 2024
