See, I don’t know if it is true or not but does it matter? This will be implicated into your mind whether you like it or not because you have already read it. If it’s plotted by a writer, that writer has skill because the plot is brilliant. If it’s true, well, it better not be.

I wouldn’t say I’m a religious soul or an over-religious person but I do hope there is something after death. Even if we have to stare into a dark world of nothingness, if we can communicate with each other, I’m cool with it. But this just makes me hope not. Abandonment isn’t the word I would use but that’s exactly why the writer used it. Because it’s rich, and at the same time, faint. What do they mean by God abandoning us? What is that even supposed to mean? Let’s just say this isn’t real. The writer has great wording. I can just read it over and over again. I usually don’t read these lengthy posts on Tumblr but what drew me into this one? I guess it was the picture of the scientist doing the test on the subject.

But, wow. We’ve gotta feel some pity on the fictional subject. I think we can all agree on this: he would have been way better off passing away the common way instead of this long battle. I can’t imagine a single breathing moment without my senses. To not be able to see or hear won’t be completely challenging since you know that other people have lived with it maybe even their whole lives. How would it be like to not smell or feel or taste. There’s no point in eating great food. You won’t even be able to tell apart hot food with cold food or even know if it’s in your mouth, I guess. Let alone know how it smells. I like how I’m only relating it back to food.

What about the weirdness of biting off your own flesh? Weird if I should add. Our minds these days are orginial surprisingly. Well, just a few special ones of us. The very interesting (emphasis on ‘interesting’) ones.

*Cringe*

I’m going to pretend I’ve never read this even though I just said it will be implicated into my brain no matter what. Oh, whatever.

Most jellyfish live to maximum of months if not a few hours but “Turritopsis nutricula” jellyfish have these special type of cells that allow them to change back to a polyps which allows them to bypass death by changing their life cycles, or reversing their life cycles. The only way they can die is from a disease or from a predator.

But today the number of jellyfish are increasing rapidly (like us humans) due to over fishing. Because we over fish, we kill the predators or lower the amount of predators that feed on jellyfish allowing jellyfish time to reproduce and if some jellyfish live up to only a few hours, they only have a few hours to reproduce, meaning the reproduction can be very, very fast. The approximate population of jellyfish is about 200 million right now.

The longest and largest jellyfish in the world is probably the the longest specimen in the world too. I’m talking about the lion’s mane jellyfish. They can grow up to approx. 73 meters long. It’s capability of the “sting-itude” aren’t that high actually. They only cause temporary pain and redness.

Some jellyfish, like the box jellyfish has eyes. Yes, eyes; and their venom isn’t like the lion’s mane jellyfish. It can actually cause problems. The sea wasp, a species from the box jellyfish, is one of the most venomous creature in the world or known as the most lethal jellyfish in the world. But the malo kingi is the one that scares me the most. Unlike the sea wasp, the malo kingi jellyfish is only about the size of a thumb nail, but it is deadly. It not only causes death, but awful symptoms before death. You can get severe pain, vomiting, and a rapid rise in your blood pressure…all that with death.  DEATH.

In my opinion, I believe that jellyfish will live longer than us humans. They have lived longer than us but I believe that they will be here even after we are gone due to their reproduction pace and “the immortal ones”. Well we never know but please enjoy this jellyfish called the comb jellyfish that’s like  a rave party in the deep dark sea.
