    Sorry to rain on your parade, but that’s in a reef tank, dude. The lighting is quite specific to man made lights.

    Not to say that keeping a reef tank is the most ecologically responsible thing to do, but…

      I wasn’t claiming these hats were in the ocean

      It’s that the urchins (like people) are trying to protect themselves but the scientists (corporations) are just gaslighting them for their amusement

            I haven’t seen anyone jump to a conclusion like that since the guy on Office Space.

              You don’t think the hats were for the amusement of people

              The post itself says it’s for protection

                They’re in a tank. They literally do not need protection. They also do not care. The hats fill their microbrain compulsions just fine. They don’t need your absurd “hey, aren’t we all just urchins in hats!?” train of thought.

                They’re probably living their best lives. They’re not being raised for food, they’re not living in a wild ocean… they’re wearing dapper hats instead of the dead husks of their seaborn brethren.

                You could take a lesson from those urchins.
