@avree0is0dead you dont have to read this lol i just think it's cool
I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.
If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.
If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but weâd never come up with those ears.
If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldnât know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.
We wouldnât know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.
My point here is that we donât know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize theyâd been all around us the whole time.
#i watched a youtube short that said another reason why we know the megalodon is extinct is because of sperm whales#they're also how we know giant colossal squids definitely exist#the long form and short form video versions are on the OceanX channel

in the deep ocean there are things called brine pools, which are essentially lakes of water separate from the ocean water. they're formed when water seeping through the ocean floor mixes with salt deposits, so the actual brine pools themselves are too salty and too toxic for most things to live in. but because they're so mineral rich, there's a bunch of really cool things living around them!
some examples include mussels, crabs, echinoderms, and sea cucumbers.

15 May 2024: King Abdullah II and Crown Prince Hussein attended the main strategy session of the Regional Ocean Summit, held at the King Hussein bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea.
Jordan is hosting the first regional edition of the World Ocean Summit, organised by the Economist Impact, in cooperation with the Aqaba Marine Park (AMP) initiative, the government, and the Jordan Tourism Board.
The summit brings together over 200 participants from around the world, including politicians, officials, businesspeople, investors, experts, and academics, to exchange expertise on means of finding balance between protecting the ocean and fostering sustainable economic growth.
Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh said at the session that green growth is key to Jordanâs Economic Modernisation Vision, noting that topics discussed in the summit highlight Jordan as a distinguished destination for future businesses, due to its talented youth, strategic location, robust infrastructure, and commitment to sustainability. Â Khasawneh added that the AMP will become a hub for scientific research cooperation to preserve oceans and marine life in Aqaba and the world, by providing innovative solutions to mitigate climate change impact on coral reefs and biodiversity. Â For his part, UN Secretary-Generalâs Special Envoy for the Ocean Peter Thomson warned in a recorded message of the dangers of the continuation of rising temperatures, which negatively affects marine life in oceans and humanity at large, ultimately making the planet uninhabitable. Â He commended Jordanâs efforts, under His Majestyâs leadership, to launch the AMP, an embodiment of the Kingdomâs commitment to working towards achieving one of the key sustainable development goals to protect marine life and oceans. Â Due to the Gulf of Aqabaâs strategic location, the AMP includes over 200 species of coral reefs, according to Thomson, who noted that 25 per cent of biodiversity in oceans depends on coral reefs, which underscores the need for their preservation. Â In another recorded message, Prince Albert II of Monaco said Jordan has been a model in the region and the world for its contributions to environmental preservation, noting that the AMP is an example of Jordanâs commitment to the sustainable management of resources, despite regional challenges. Â Prince Albert added that crises and conflicts around the world may make some believe that protecting nature is not a priority, while in fact environmental degradation only exacerbates adversity, stressing the need to preserve resources for future generations, by creating protected areas like the AMP. Â In a panel discussion held during the session, Ray Dalio, co-founder of OceanX, spoke about the Kingâs efforts in bringing to light issues related to oceans and biodiversity protection. Â Both Thomson and Prince Albert II expressed best wishes to His Majesty on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee. Â The three-day summit, which kicked off on Tuesday, addresses timely and pressing topics, including climate change mitigation, marine conservation, blue economy initiatives, and ground-breaking advancements in ocean-related technologies. Â Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan, and a number of ministers and officials attended the session.

"eSports dan Lingkungan: Bagaimana Industri Gaming Menjadi Lebih Ramah Lingkungan"
Industri eSports dan gaming telah tumbuh pesat dalam dekade terakhir, menciptakan peluang besar di dunia hiburan digital. Namun, pesatnya pertumbuhan ini juga meningkatkan dampak lingkungan. Dari penggunaan energi besar untuk server dan peralatan gaming hingga produksi perangkat keras yang berkelanjutan, kesadaran akan pentingnya keberlanjutan mulai mengubah cara industri gaming bekerja. Berikut ini adalah langkah-langkah yang diambil oleh industri eSports dan gaming untuk menjadi lebih ramah lingkungan.
1. Penggunaan Energi Terbarukan di Pusat Data dan Server
Pusat data yang digunakan untuk menjalankan server game, cloud gaming, dan platform streaming adalah konsumen energi yang sangat besar. Beberapa perusahaan besar di industri gaming mulai beralih ke energi terbarukan untuk mengurangi jejak karbon mereka. Misalnya, Microsoft, perusahaan di balik Xbox, telah mengumumkan komitmennya untuk menjadi âkarbon negatifâ pada tahun 2030. Upaya ini termasuk menggunakan energi angin, tenaga surya, dan sumber energi terbarukan lainnya untuk menjalankan server dan pusat datanya.
2. Perangkat Keras Berkelanjutan dan Bahan Daur Ulang
Produksi perangkat keras gaming, seperti konsol, PC gaming, dan aksesoris, juga berkontribusi pada emisi karbon. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, beberapa produsen konsol dan perangkat keras mulai menggunakan bahan daur ulang dalam produk mereka. Sony, misalnya, telah mengurangi jumlah plastik dalam pengemasan konsol PlayStation terbaru mereka dan mengeksplorasi bahan yang lebih ramah lingkungan untuk produk mereka. Langkah-langkah ini tidak hanya mengurangi limbah tetapi juga meningkatkan keberlanjutan dalam jangka panjang.
3. Inisiatif Pengurangan Emisi dari Turnamen eSports
Turnamen eSports sering kali melibatkan ribuan pemain, penonton, dan staf yang melakukan perjalanan ke berbagai kota di dunia. Untuk mengurangi emisi karbon dari perjalanan ini, beberapa turnamen besar mulai mengadopsi pendekatan hybrid dan online. Contohnya, League of Legends World Championship mengadopsi format turnamen online selama pandemi COVID-19, dan konsep ini terus dilanjutkan untuk mengurangi kebutuhan perjalanan. Beberapa turnamen bahkan mengimbangi jejak karbon dengan menanam pohon atau berinvestasi dalam proyek energi bersih.
4. Game dengan Tema Kesadaran Lingkungan
Selain dari sisi operasional, pengembang game juga mulai membuat konten dengan tema lingkungan. Beberapa game kini menyertakan pesan atau misi yang mengedukasi pemain tentang keberlanjutan dan perubahan iklim. Contohnya, game Beyond Blue oleh E-Line Media, yang bekerja sama dengan OceanX, mengajak pemain untuk mengeksplorasi lautan dan memahami pentingnya ekosistem laut. Game seperti ini membangun kesadaran pemain tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan.
5. Upaya Mengurangi Konsumsi Energi Konsol dan PC
Konsol modern seperti PlayStation 5 dan Xbox Series X kini lebih efisien dalam konsumsi daya dibandingkan dengan generasi sebelumnya. Selain itu, produsen telah menambahkan mode hemat daya dan opsi untuk mengurangi konsumsi daya saat perangkat tidak digunakan. Inovasi ini membantu mengurangi penggunaan energi di rumah-rumah pemain, mengurangi dampak lingkungan dari konsumsi energi gaming skala global.
6. Komitmen Industri untuk Keberlanjutan: Inisiatif Greenscreen
Inisiatif Playing for the Planet yang diinisiasi oleh Program Lingkungan PBB adalah contoh bagaimana perusahaan gaming bekerja sama untuk menjadi lebih ramah lingkungan. Inisiatif ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi emisi industri, menggunakan energi bersih, dan mengedukasi pemain tentang keberlanjutan melalui konten game. Beberapa perusahaan game besar, seperti Ubisoft dan Sony, telah bergabung dengan inisiatif ini untuk menciptakan dampak positif pada lingkungan.
7. Peningkatan Perangkat Lunak untuk Efisiensi
Pengembang perangkat lunak game juga ikut berperan dalam upaya keberlanjutan. Dengan meningkatkan efisiensi game dari sisi perangkat lunak, seperti optimisasi performa yang lebih rendah daya, mereka bisa mengurangi kebutuhan energi untuk menjalankan game dengan grafis tinggi. Langkah ini membuat game dapat berjalan lebih baik pada perangkat dengan spesifikasi rendah, yang secara tidak langsung juga mengurangi konsumsi energi.
8. Kesadaran Pemain dalam Gaya Hidup Gaming
Kesadaran individu juga berperan besar dalam keberlanjutan industri gaming. Beberapa pemain kini mulai mengadopsi gaya hidup gaming yang lebih ramah lingkungan dengan menggunakan perangkat hemat daya, daur ulang perangkat gaming, dan mendukung game dengan nilai keberlanjutan. Tren ini menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran akan lingkungan tidak hanya terbatas pada perusahaan, tetapi juga mulai tumbuh di komunitas gaming.
Kesimpulan
Industri eSports dan gaming sedang berada dalam transisi untuk menjadi lebih ramah lingkungan. Upaya ini tidak hanya terbatas pada perubahan dalam operasi perusahaan, tetapi juga pada kesadaran di tingkat pemain dan komunitas. Dengan adopsi energi terbarukan, pengurangan emisi, dan inovasi produk yang lebih ramah lingkungan, industri gaming berkontribusi pada keberlanjutan global. Di masa depan, kolaborasi antara pemain, pengembang, dan produsen perangkat keras akan semakin penting dalam menciptakan lingkungan gaming yang lebih hijau dan berkelanjutan.

Kolaborasi KI dan OceanX teliti wilayah perikanan Indonesia, termasuk di Aceh
Kapal riset OceanXplorer sedang menurunkan kapal selam untuk meneliti perairan. (ANTARA/HO-OceanX)
Kawasan itu mencakup 125 ribu hektare terumbu karang yang merupakan empat dari 50 ekosistem terumbu prioritas dunia dan menjadi tempat bermukim 15,4 juta warga pesisir. Menurut dia, kolaborasi penelitian tersebut mempunyai arti penting karena peran Wilayah Pengelolaan Perikanan 572 dalam menyediakan ketahanan pangan, penghidupan, dan dampak ekonomi yang lebih besar bagi masyarakat lokal dan sekitar. "Pelaksanaan Blue Halo S mendukung tujuan strategis jangka panjang pemerintah dalam mendorong pertumbuhan produk domestik bruto perikanan, meningkatkan kawasan konservasi perairan, dan menjamin ketahanan masyarakat," kata Meizani. OceanX akan mendatangkan kapal risetnya ke Indonesia pada pertengahan tahun depan. Kapal itu dilengkapi dengan kemampuan mutakhir yang memungkinkan para peneliti mengkarakterisasi secara menyeluruh habitat di berbagai lingkungan laut mulai dari wilayah pesisir hingga laut terbuka dan dalam. Pengumpulan data yang komprehensif itu akan memudahkan pengkajian mendalam terhadap ekosistem laut secara keseluruhan dan terpadu.

"Kolaborasi itu mendukung tujuan yang ditetapkan oleh Blue Halo S, memfasilitasi jalur inovasi menuju pelestarian laut dan mendorong pengelolaan perikanan berkelanjutan," pungkas Vincent. Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi mengungkapkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki potensi ekonomi 1,33 triliun dolar AS dengan tujuh potensi sumber daya alam senilai 0,8 triliun dolar AS (kontribusi 60 persen) dari bidang kelautan dan perikanan. Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan memandang Program Blue Halo S Indonesia sangat menguntungkan karena Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang menggunakan kebijakan penangkapan ikan yang terukur dan berkelanjutan berdasarkan kuota penangkapan dan menghasilkan ekonomi baru dari karbon biru yang mendukung sektor laut.
