Camera set up to catch Loch Ness Monster unearthed
-
After he lost, he disappeared from the news cycle for quite a while. It was wonderful.
You're right. I forgot about that. It was glorious.

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?
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.

Same reason people think the earth is flat, the moon landing was a hoax, and that vaccines cause autism?
A lack of critical thinking skills, and general stupidity.
-
No footage of Nessie will ever be found or captured, because in 1991 the dude who started the damn rumor with that one famous photo admitted that it was a hoax. Why people still continue to search for the monster baffles me.
To be fair, this camera was put in the water in the 1970s...
-
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.

You can't call a ship a boat. Shippy McShipface would've been a different topic. Or maybe Chippy McShipface?
There are humans that are named after other animals (Bear Grylls, Tony Hawk, Michael J Fox). We absolutely could have called it Boaty McBoatface.
-
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.
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?

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.

I was hoping for something more like this:
man that game is cool

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.

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.

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 need better reading skills. their comment was incredibly clearly a joke. You're the only one here that thought it was serious.
-

i thought you were playing along with the joke but you really were going "you're dumb actually and stupid" like you believed it

An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.
The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.
It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch's surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.
No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine's engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch's murky waters.
Someone needs to glue a monster mould to the top of that sub...
