Boaty McBoatface from 2016 ... it feels like 10 lifetimes ago.
here's the images
I was hoping for something more like this:
Personally I'm betting on Nessie having camouflage skills like an octopus, and instead of squirting ink they can create the equivalent of an underwater dust cloud. That would absolutely explain these photos.
Edit to add: /jk since apparently that wasn't obvious 🙄
And it knew to react to an unmoving camera how? It just perfectly puts out its camouflage cloud every time it passes a camera? You realize that makes zero sense, right?
Um, you're taking my comment way too seriously. I replied to a cartoon picture. I literally just made up a silly explanation that would fit the photos. Please take a deep breath and go touch some grass.
Oh shut the fuck up. Telling someone to touch grass after spouting your delusion? People like you need to be told to shut up more. We shouldn't entertain your nonsense. Trying to call it a joke after the fact is the only laughable part.
Wow. You have issues mate.
Nah, I'm just done with handling ignorance with kid gloves. It's how we got to the state of the US today.
You clearly put forth your unsubstantiated theory that Nessie has active camouflage and it totally explains the murky photos. You took the LACK of evidence and used that as proof of something even more extreme and requiring of even more proof. When asked a very simple question like "well then how would it work with a stationary camera?" suddenly it's "well I was just playing make believe, you need to touch grass!"
Nah, fuck your goal post moving ass.
You clearly put forth your unsubstantiated theory
you need better reading skills. their comment was incredibly clearly a joke. You're the only one here that thought it was serious.
You've clearly not been on the Internet long if you haven't seen someone spout that exact line of bullshit as absolute truth before.
Maybe save your jokes for your comedy hour instead of thinking every discussion needs your half assed jokes? This isn't the meme community.
You’ve clearly not been on the internet long if you can’t recognize the most basic of sarcasm. It’s literally a foundation of the internet.
"Aliens"
Lol its a hoax anyway....
Yeah, but when it's clearly a hoax and you have someone going "yeah, but still, what if it's really X?" it makes it really clear how badly our education and mental health systems failed.
Well so long as you're not ultra into it its fun and w/e. To me its same energy as planning for winning lotto. Yeah it ain't happen but it will be cool. Its purely distraction in something possibly wonderful. Sometimes I think if the people that go too far just really dont want to come back.
No, it's delusional. Writing fictional stories is fine. Trying to warp reality and evidence to fit your fantasy is delusion. "This would be cool..." is not the same as being told why you're scientifically wrong and then going "but what if it were true anyways because I want to believe?"
It's the same shit with Bigfoot. As more and more "evidence" is debunked and the case becomes more obviously just a mistaken identification at best you get these whack jobs talking about how Bigfoot is a dimension jumping shape shifter. Not because they have any actual evidence, but because "this is the only way to explain why we got zero pictures despite decades of trying".
Imagination is fine. Delusion is not.
Hmm I thinking earth is flat as delusion cause thats a fact vs big foot where its more fun and "harder to disprove". Though I bet you mean the dudes that ACTUALLY believe and make it their personality. Very similar to religion. Your lack of evidence to disprove doesnt mean it doesn't exist.
man that game is cool
Omg, a camera with a flash cube - so it would have been able to take 4 flash pictures.
I had that exact same camera when I was a kid. My favourite part was putting in new flash cubes. Dude when the Kodak Disc came out we were wetting our pants, that thing had INFINITE FLASH
It's the camera my mom used, too. It was super popular, it seems like every family had one.
Taking pictures was such a different experience in those days, knowing you only had as many pictures as was on the roll (like 20 I think it's what we bought), and you couldn't see how they came out until you had them developed.
Helps when you're a kid, and not the one paying $2/picture for the flash.
Source. Take the cost based on a 12-pack of Magicubes, divide in 4 because there's 4 shots per cube, and adjust for inflation.
i read that at first as "camera to to set up the loch ness monster" and i thought they were trying to frame the loch ness monster of a crime she didn't commit
They were trying to catch her in a loving embrace with her cousin, the Ogopogo.
That was always a very long distance relationship.
I’ve got pictures of both of them though :D
Shouldn't that be unloched?
You damn fools. You better have tree fiddy ready for the rest of your lives.
So show us the pictures then! Why are you hiding them?! Outrage!
The photos are in the article!
I'm here to do two things: not read articles, and make ignorant comments based on not reading articles
and I'm almost out of articles to not read
You can always write your own contributions!
And at least 7 people upvoted them
There are two maybe four photos in the article, and I genuinely don’t see a source for the rest of them.
What makes you think there are more? The cameras were only ever rigged to take four photographs max
You’re joking right?
No joke! Lots of details in the article, it’s worth a look. The cameras were also rigged via tripwire to hopefully only activate when Nessie physically disturbed them!
Kids...
If you know, you know.
They used a flash that was single-use. When the flash triggered, it burned out and the mechanism rotated. A cube has 4 sides.
So the numbering on the film is irrelevant then?
Likely, yes.
Someone needs to glue a monster mould to the top of that sub...
Shouldn't it be unwatered? :^)
Isn’t it best practice to develop film as soon as possible after taking a picture. Surely the undeveloped picture would have degraded after 55 years?
Did you see the pictures in the article?
You're right, but how bad depends on a lot of factors.
Technically yes, but in favourable condition the film can persist for pretty long time. People have developed films that had been sitting in a camera/cartridge for literally a century and gotten decent results.
My bad, I forgot we were still on Reddit where nothing is serious and everything is a joke.
Oh there will be grist for the mill, whether they “found” anything or not.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
