RebelOverlord: Glaucus Atlanticus

Whiskiz: Looks like something out of final fantasy that’d cast thundaga on you

sK0pey: What Pokemon is that?

Jovahkiin95: DYK they eat jellyfish (stingers don’t affect them), and actually collect the poison from said jellyfish to use in self defence?

tickleyourfrontbutt: How long did it take for Megatron to sink to the bottom? Took his ass like 30 seconds to get back out and another 5 minutes to travel to another planet.

igotdickfordays: But what if it was a really big stone?

Lukavian: Unless it was a very small rock. Monty Python taught me those float.

andretti87: Assuming a current doesnt take it elsewhere..

800over: A European stone or an African one?

nomsayin_: Tench is a coldwater fish brah.

YoucantdothatonTV: Knew this was one way ticket, but you know I had to go. Love you wife

rf9134: You’re waiting way too long for stones to hit the bottom. Who’s your stone guy?

BecauseScience: So what exactly would the pressure do to the rock?

Intolerance: I tried this once, but all I brought was pumice.

SsurebreC: [Here’s a nice comparison video of how deep it is.](https://youtu.be/Y2tm40uMhDI?t=48s)

tygrenier: I’ll take that bet (reaches for pumice).

Ace676: [Relevant almost xkcd](https://what-if.xkcd.com/125/)

GordonFr33man: Reminds me of my ex.

buttplayis_bestplay: Tench

dog_in_the_vent: This seems dubious. Depending on the weight and displacement of the rock it might not even reach the bottom.
