This is almost a bit too interesting.

I know, right? I think I need to go look at a beige wall for a few minutes to calm down.

Ah man that's stunning.

How is this mildly interesting?!

I love fluid mechanics and this is absolutely gorgeous.

Dang I think this is really cool. Never really thought about what it looks like under a wave. Have always been jealous of the awesome view surfers get as the surf through the tube of a breaking wave.

Well... You don't really want to open your eyes in the ocean.

As long as you wear eye protection like goggles or a snorkel mask, the ocean is amazing to look at underwater.

What is the scale of this? Am I looking underneath a huge wave or an adva?

oh no. Are you my father?

No, I’m future you.

Apparently he does live long enough to become the villain.

With this kind of conversation we truly have outgrown the capitalist original system.

How does one know if this is a real photo or AI generated?

Are these the same mechanics forming tornadoes? Could a superstorm produce these?

If you mean "fluid dynamics", then yes.

Wow, I wouldn't mind having this hung on my wall to be honest, cool photo.

Wait, so you actually swirl around these tendril things? How strong are they?
