Ancient history is still history

      Cool, cool. Now tell me why megalodon died put while the sharks who live today also lived beside it. Checkmate grandpa.

    2. My grandshark also always tells me that the younglings have it too easy…
      In his days his everyday swim to school was 100km through icy and low-oxygenated water.

      EDIT: Also he told me to tell you he had to dodge Orcas along the way

    3. This is funny cause it just proves the little guy had what it took to survive.

      Of course commercial pet fish need a 100 things to remain alive

      But stuff like plecos? Water optional lol.

      We have cheetahs and leopards while smilodon died out

      We have asian elephants while giant straight tusks died out

      We have pandas while short faced bears died out.

      Sometimes, it’s the underestimated guys that had what it takes.

      Pandas are 7 million years old, cheetahs and leopards are older than mammoths and smilodon and still alive.

      I say this cause I see alot of slop content on how “cheetah are F tier!!!!! Pandas would be extinct if humans didn’t show up!!!!” From YouTube channels that are probably bachelors who never really applied their knowledge and are just grifting and spewing bullcrap just so the views click.

      These muppets actually contribute to conservation decline as some people reflect their opinions. Where reintroduction of cheetahs to india is having some push back online because apparently they are too frail to survive.

      Tell that to my Pleco. That Bastard survived at least 3 apocalyptic events that left my aquarium dead multiple times.

    5. Any fish born after 2.6 million years ago cant cook, all they know is aquariums, eat manufactured food, and 7.0 ph water.

      Actually it’s not, history begins when humans start making records and telling a narrative. This is quite literally prehistoric.

    7. >Die if the pH changes from 7 to 7.1

      Meanwhile humans with a blood pH of 7.35 to 7.45 exactly

    8. Also worth mentioning that you chose a goldfish for this picture, a type of fish that’s incredibly hardy and can survive a large ph range and quite bad water quality

      Fun fact, we coexist with the largest known animal and plant living things of all time.

      Also didn’t megalodons go extinct from like a 1⁰ drop in ocean temperature at the beginning of the last big ice age cycle?

      pH is the negative log of the proton concentration, so actually there’s a huge difference between 7.0 and 7.1

      now do the inverse where you represent all ancient fish with the lamprey-like Conodont and the modern fish with the Tiger Shark
