Consider the shortspine thornyhead, Sebastolobus alascanus, also known as the "idiot fish" or "idiot cod"

It can live a hundred years idk if it's so dumb? Apparently it bears that nickname because of its googly eyes

This fish grows up to two and a half feet long

It is edible but how could you? 🥺

ALso, the "Kinki" (in the Fruits section) is Channel Rockfish, a bright red little buddy who also goes by the name "Shortspine Thornyhead", which makes me giggle whenever I think of it. Very tasty, but definitely fish, not fruit.

Round pupils (like those in the shortspine spurdog (Squalus mitukurii) at the top) are often found in deep-water species. Slit vertical pupils are common in species like the sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) that experience bright and dim light.

Yes I went out of my way to figure out if this was a bad translation or just funny out of context and turns out it's the latter, the fact that the japanese name looks like "kinky" is such a beautiful coincidence too

How can I focus on work when I know Jimothy the raccoon is out there being the short king he is? 🥹🦝

I nominate Portland as a second home if Seattle doesn't treat him right.

"imagine being this fish" i at first parsed as meaning "imagine looking this feminine & still getting called shortspine thornyhead" & was very confused about which drag queen you were subtweeting

Some words (and symbols) are permanently polluted. We don't have to use them anymore if we don't want to.
