It is hours and hours of the most powerful non-fiction hallucinogens you can possibly take but also it is very calming and relaxed often with a friendly science narrator.

In a way I guess it is like going on a field trip with Mrs. Frizzle but from the slightly horrifying perspective of actually being on the field trip.

The deep sea dropped so much acid it just got stuck down there, and at this point nobody fucks around down in that neighborhood when it comes to being as absolutely fucking weird as possible.

Scifi movies don't have shit on the actual real deep sea.

Microplastics

plastic bags

Wrong.

The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.

Real facts: The gnarliest thing about the first submersible to touch the bottom of the Marianas Trench was only down for like, 30 minutes IIRC, because it had a glass porthole and they were unsure of its stability (even though it was hella thick and had a pretty small diameter), but they wanted it to be able to observe what was down there. But when they hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of silt and they were unable to see anything for the whole duration they were down there. Oof.

Actually, it's sand or rock. The water is on top of that.

A submersible with dead billionaires.

I learned about brine pools recently and I'm fascinated

Wouldn't the bottom of the ocean NOT be water?

And dirt

David Byrne was actually the first person to discover this during a Once in a Lifetime opportunity

So it’s just water all the way down? Then why are all these geologist types talking about some mythical “crust” and “mantle” nonsense? You should probably talk some sense into them.

Would it really be the bottom if there was just more water

Sand!

I wouldn't wanna know what cuthulu monster lies dormant on those depths
