I believed a weather forecast once and tried to make a 100 km crossing in a sailboat. The marine was still claiming 0 to 1/2 meter waves when I turned around. A freighter captain radioed the weather station with his location and a report of 5 to 10 meter waves shortly after I turned to go back. That ocean was not flat.

Not an illusion, actual example of the curvature of the Earth. You can only see 2.9 miles at sea level. These power lines extend further than that, hence the Earth is blocking the lower parts as they get further away. And, yes, the curvature is way more visible at altitude.

Atlit Yam is a 9000-year-old submerged Neolithic village off the coast of Atlit in Israel, in the Levantine sea. Underwater excavations have uncovered houses, a well, a stone semicircle containing seven 600 kg megaliths and skeletons that have revealed the earliest known cases of tuberculosis. // Its about 8,300 to 8,900 years old according to google. ~8,600 years ago the sea level was about 20 meters lower than it is today. According to the Wikipedia article Atlit Yam about 8-12 meters beneath the sea. Interesting! // just two Reddit comments I found about this, I did not fact-check them.

Phobias can significantly impact people’s daily lives. Whether it's a fear of heights, spiders, public speaking, or enclosed spaces, they can elicit strong emotional and physical responses. According to Christopher Paul Jones, a phobia is “an automated, overactive response where the brain instantly associates fight, flight or freeze to something that isn’t proportionally dangerous or is relatively benign. Examples of this could be seeing a spider, not being able to go outdoors or being unable to get into a lift because of the reactions these things induce.”

- Sweating
- Chest pain and tightness
- Increased heart rate
- Hot or cold flushes
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
- Feeling dizzy, faint or light-headed
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling like you are smothered or choking
“In terms of how phobias get created, they can be influenced by several factors, such as upbringing and lifestyle; however, the main one is conditioning, as shown in the study of Pavlov’s dog.
Pavlov demonstrated that dogs could be conditioned to respond to certain stimuli. In his experiment, he rang a bell and presented a dog with food. After a time, the dog began to anticipate food when it heard the bell and would start to salivate, regardless of whether the food was present. The dog’s response demonstrated the basic principle of classical conditioning. Unconditioned stimulus (ringing the bell) became conditioned stimulus, which led to a conditioned response: salivation. It is the same principle for humans.”

“Seeking professional help when dealing with phobias is really important,” Jones shared. Coping with intense fears on our own can be challenging, and having the support of a trained professional makes a significant difference in the journey towards overcoming them. “While some things fade over time, like a fear of the dark going away as you get older, most will not, so telling yourself to suck it up or just power through isn’t usually enough,” the therapist added.
“Many traditional therapies, such as counseling, can often be ineffectual as it involves rationalizing your fear. Generally, tools that tap into the subconscious and change the conditioned response are preferable. I personally recommend an integrated approach using various tools, as everyone is different, and this is what I do in my practice.”

Ya according to studies we have begun to see this is true. We are close to the highest level that the oceans reach. Within 5 meters actually. It can only go up so high before triggering a cooling cycle which deposit more ice on the poles and again lowers the sea level as much as 260 meters
Load More Replies...
If you’re someone who’s trying to overcome your phobias, Jones has some useful tips for you. First of all, it is important to figure out what you are really afraid of. “A lot of the time, people think they are afraid of one thing when in reality, it’s actually something else.”
“Getting clear on what has to happen for you to have a phobic response and spotting differences is a great exercise to facilitate this. For example, if you are afraid of lifts, ask yourself, ‘Would a glass one be better or worse?’ If a glass one is better, it’s likely you are claustrophobic, and if it’s worse, you potentially have a fear of heights. It’s the same with flying. If you think flying is more dangerous than driving, what is the difference in your mind between the two? It’s about finding that contrast and going from there.”
Once you have done this step described above, you could then use a “reconditioning technique” to replace the negative trigger with a positive one. According to Jones, one technique that can be very effective is anchoring.
Here are the steps that you can follow:
- Decide how you want to feel – happy, confident, calm, etc.
- Remember a time when you felt this way.
- Choose an anchor you can do easily, like squeezing your fist.
- Visualize the memory and relive it in as much detail as you can, and as the confident feeling grows, squeeze your fist, releasing it when the feeling starts to subside.
- Test the anchor by squeezing your fist to see if you can naturally access the positive feeling.
“If it doesn’t work the first time, repeat the steps above, as it may take a few tries to reach the desired positive state. When it is strong enough, it will override the negative feeling and take it out.”

Phobias, those gripping fears that send shivers down our spines, have been subject to a variety of misconceptions and myths. The biggest misconception, according to Jones, is that phobias are a sign of weakness or a lack of intellect, and people will use any ‘reason or excuse’ to try to make sense of how they feel. “Another common myth is that facing your fear head-on (exposure therapy) is the way to solve it, and most of the time, this fails, as it is not about understanding, determination, or strength of will."

When something happened in the past that scared you, similar situations can bring back that fear even if they don't seem as scary. The level of fear you experience may not match the current situation because these memories are stored based on how old you were when they happened. So, sometimes you might feel more scared than you need to be because of how your brain remembers those past events.
“An example would be a 2-year-old getting lost in a shopping mall. While it may seem insignificant to an adult, ten minutes is a long time for a very young child as they haven’t been alive that long, so while an adult may dismiss this because it doesn’t seem significant enough, it’s not always the case. With that said, it could, of course, be a major childhood trauma that induces a negative response,” Jones added.
It is important to note that what you are phobic of may not always be the trigger. “If you have a fear of skydiving, for example, it may not be jumping out of a plane that you are scared of; it could be that you fear being out of control, as once you’ve jumped, there’s no going back.”

According to Jones, trying to untangle phobias logically doesn’t get you very far because “they are neither proportional nor rational but based on emotion. The key is to try and ‘talk’ to that part of your mind that doesn’t work on logic. This essentially means tapping into the unconscious or subconscious mind, or whatever you choose to call it, as this is where emotions are stored.”

Makes me wonder: water is very unique in that it's liquid form is denser than its solid form. This is a quirk which is responsible for life existing, since otherwise oceans would freeze from the bottom up. It's also why ice skating is possible, since pressure can liquify ice. But i remember reading that there are other forms of water ice besides the one we're familiar with; the molecules can arrange themselves in different patterns, giving the ice different properties, and now I wonder if at such great pressure, there are other forms of ice on these planets.

It depends Bc we can’t see how deep it is but it might be for the people on the boats

It looks like it doesn't it? If what I imagine I see is right it's incredible and I want to do it!

Standing On Ice With Around 50-70 Meters Of Water Below Me. Not Abyssal Deep But Deep Enough To Disappear Forever. I Know The Ice Will Hold But The Thoughts Of Going Down Remain
AJay 2 years ago (edited)
How does one find out if ice is thick enough to hold them? (Just so you know I live in a place where if we ever experience frozen waterways, something will be very seriously wrong with the planet)

Make a hole. 5-10 centimeters is enough to hold a person, 15 centimeters should carry a snow machine. 5 centimeters is about 1,9 inches.

I think those are burrows maybe for crabs but the tide grew and covered them?

The unsettling thing is the light reflecting in to green tinged eyes...there to the left, just under the scuppers.

A lot if ‘lakes’ are flooded valleys and hollows caused by damming a river for a water source. So tall cliffs and steep hills and forests are eventually submerged.

Um... it's the ocean. Most of the chase is taking place *below* the surface.

I like how most of these look like they're Cthulhu's Insta, but some look so peaceful and serene... and then there's the floaty cars

I once snorkelled in a bay off the Sinai peninsula, with a shark observatory as the only building and only our tour group there. We arrived at low tide and I was following a clown fish trying to get a closer look at it (I'm nearsighted) and suddenly swam over the edge of the coral reef with no bottom in sight. My first thought was 'Aaaaaah, I'm going to fall!' Oh right, I'm floating. My second thought was 'Aaaah, sharks!' and I hurriedly swam back to the coral reef that was quite close to the surface at low tide.
