    This is like how corporations treat people on given issues

    Instead of lowering emissions, let’s throw our plastic in the ocean

    Instead of cutting off funding to anti-gay candidates, let’s sell rainbow clothing

      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

                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.

    I don’t know how it’s possible to feel more protected when you’re entirely made out of spikes, but OK.

      It’s true. Urchins do in fact use things like shells as hats.

      And some have been dropping hat shaped prints on them for pics.

        I just love (/s) how they 3D printed the hats with plastic. Give them some more plastic why don’t you?

          It’s an aquarium. The plastic was probably removed after a while

    Can’t imagine that extraterrestrial aliens would be more weird than what is population our oceans.
