"stop depicting blobfish like this, and blobfish isn't what it's called"

That specific one, as depicted, is blobfish. Blobfish is not a species, it's an individual. Like Greenboots.

Moisturised, Flourishing.

In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies

I mean, they're still kinda goofy looking when alive.

Remembers me....

So I don't need to lose weight, I just need to live somewhere with 1,470 psi of pressure.

Why not use both and turn it into a 2 panel meme?

Me when I have water

Me when I'm a human living in the modern world

Aliens do an Earth drive by, use a tractor beam to yank a human specimen through the mesosphere, log the name of the species as blisterface and fly away.

The name information is incorrect.

Psychrolutes is the genus, not the species.

Psychrolutes is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Psychrolutidae, the fatheads and toadfishes. [...] There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus

The binomial name of the blobfish is Psychrolutes marcidus. But realistically, "binomial name" is not always the same as "proper name". There are a lot of animals whose common names include misconceptions, or even insults. Just look at the information about Psychrolutidae (that's the Family) above. "Fatheads" sounds insulting, and "Toadfishes" aren't toads.

I wouldn't have even bothered looking this up, except that the artist wrote the "proper name" so poorly that I first read it as "Psychrd Lutes". And the second reading, I misread as "Psychiro Lutes", due to the weird "R" that looks like none of their other Rs. I read it correctly the third time, but I have to wonder at the wisdom of not writing it clearly when you're trying to emphasize how it is spelled.

But a photo of a normal-looking fish has extremely limited entertainment value.

How can it be in pain, and be a corpse?

This is a "you" vs "the guy she tells you not to worry about" meme format

This was news to me, thanks for sharing this OP.

Stardew valley lied to me!

Are you reading this, ConcernedApe??

Makes you wonder if you're blobby because you're in the wrong environment.

What worst, is i found the depiction in children's book. It's kinda sad the myth doesn't get corrected as much because people justify it as entire different thing.

I spread this information anytime I can find it to be relevant. This and the incorrect myths about goldfish memories and short lives are so annoying to me. I love my fish friends

I had no idea, now I'm just sad.

So what's Ted Cruz's excuse for looking like figure A?

I had no idea too but then came across a random Vox video about high pressure where they mentioned it.

I then did a little research and wrote the article below:

I wish people brought this energy to the meat industry

Source please or I'll stick to my previously unchallenged image of ugly blobfish
