Breast implies, they give birth to babies, rather than laying eggs, which in turn explains why they wouldn't let me do a TED talk

Traditionally mermaids were thought to live in the Caribbean where the water is like a warm bath. Look up the range of the manatee.

They’re fantasy creatures not whales, dilbert.

And yes I realize the irony.

Tastes like a penny.

they are magical beings, that doesnt apply.

This is a very good idea, but we shouldn't forget alternate theories:

Maybe they have special mermaid skin like dolphins plus those tails look cozy.

teachasaurusrex.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I just think they can’t have those size glands. Wouldn’t they create too much drag while swimming?

"But our mermaids are training for the Tour de France Femmes." Oh, wait, they can't pedal with a fish tail. Well, in any case, please watch the Tour de France Femmes starting July 26. It will be great, I promise.

If you want anatomically correct (and murderous) mermaids, you should check out Into The Drowning Deep by Mira Grant! It’s SO GOOD. Grant writes biomedical thrillers so her science is ON POINT

= manatees 😁

So true. In fact, I've seen more boobs these days than ever in my whole life. I think it's a national boob showing contest or something.

I once saw a series of drawings showing what Ariel would look like in different marine environments. Deep sea Ariel was terrifying!

Mermaids have a fatty layer like humans, but the fat is a more effective insulator. Their skin produces more oil, as well as a unique pigment similar to cuttlefish. This means they can alter their coloration. They are masters at blending in if they want to. Some live on land. The girls have no hips.

Along that theme, I suggest this.

Considering mermaids are, to my knowledge, always depicted swimming by undulating their spine (like mammals) instead of flexing it (like fish; think dolphin vs shark respectively), they're surprisingly scientifically accurate cryptics and your logic holds

Maidmers aren't good kissers.

avadi.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Think of seals and walruses and whales. Even manatees. All are on the thicker side.

vespalien.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Manatees are said to be the origin of mermaid tales, but I suspect Scottish Selkie tales may have predated manatee sightings.
