    Like many other creatures that dwell in the depths of the sea, assfish are soft and flabby with a light skeleton. This is likely to have resulted from a lack of food and the high pressures which accompany living at such a depth, making it difficult to generate muscle and bone

    TIL I am like the creatures dwelling in the depths of the sea, both flabby and low in muscle mass, but not for lack of food…

    and onus could either mean “hake, a relative of cod”, Hanke says, “or a donkey”. Adam Summers, associate director at the Friday Harbor Laboratories at the University of Washington, concurs, saying onus could easily read “as a homonym of the Greek word for ass”.

    I love how instead of translating it to being like hake they went with anus.
