The ocean plays host to a peculiar party of wild, marine sex life that’s perhaps quirkier (and kinkier) than you can fathom. But is human behavior interrupting these raunchy reproductive acts? Take a deep dive with marine biologist Marah J. Hardt to discover what exactly goes down under the sea — and why your own wellness depends on the healthy sex lives of fish.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

I thought this was a TedX talk when I first looked at the title. Then I watched it and it turns out it was a TedXXX talk

Yeah, kill a guy because he’s pointing a taser at a cop? Take a life to avoid a little electrical shock? Sorry , your pigs are out of control gun-happy murderers. Murderers. Terminate the pig and all who are so easily driven to murder citizens. Wonder if the pigs are squirming in their mud pit by now? Digitally enhanced video , means finding ways to exonerate the pig, nothing else. Wendy’s should relax their policy of vacating the parking lot by calling the cops. Wendy’s is responsible for this just as much as the murderous pig.
Abolish Qualified Immunity for police and politicians, until that happens, nothing will change.

Remember when you looked at TED talks like, you had to have an amazing actual deep meaningful insight into something? That was relevant to anything at all? Neither it was at least 6 years ago at this point and just my God 😂

Don’t blame “Climate change” on humans. Its bullshit.
Acedia

If you truly think that you are far to uneducated on climate change to make such a statement. Roughly 97% of all researchers in this field agree that climate change is happening, is man made and is dangerous to our society. The other 3% are mainly single researchers (instead of institutes) with ties to companies that would profit from a decreasing care about climate change.

Here’s another thought, since it’s healthier to not eat meat (including fish) just leave these sentient beings alone and let them have their lives.

I could recall my days in school in our biology class, laughing hilariously when our teacher taught about reproduction.
BTW, I never cared about fishes for I don’t eat sea-food and fishes scare me.
