An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.

The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.

It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch’s surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.

No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine’s engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch’s murky waters.

      Nah, I’m just done with handling ignorance with kid gloves. It’s how we got to the state of the US today.

      You clearly put forth your unsubstantiated theory that Nessie has active camouflage and it totally explains the murky photos. You took the LACK of evidence and used that as proof of something even more extreme and requiring of even more proof. When asked a very simple question like “well then how would it work with a stationary camera?” suddenly it’s “well I was just playing make believe, you need to touch grass!”

      Nah, fuck your goal post moving ass.

        you need better reading skills. their comment was incredibly clearly a joke. You’re the only one here that thought it was serious.

          You’ve clearly not been on the Internet long if you haven’t seen someone spout that exact line of bullshit as absolute truth before.

          Maybe save your jokes for your comedy hour instead of thinking every discussion needs your half assed jokes? This isn’t the meme community.

            You’ve clearly not been on the internet long if you can’t recognize the most basic of sarcasm. It’s literally a foundation of the internet.

              We literally had to invent /s because sarcasm isn’t obvious. Before that, “jk”. Before that emoticons. Yeah, I’ve been around. And we have always had Poes Law. I was there when the ancient magic was written.

              Dude didn’t add the jk until hours after id commented.

                we had to invent /s because subtle sarcasm isn’t obvious. This wasn’t subtle. It was blatant, incredibly clear sarcasm. Poes law is talking about you in this situation. And the jk didn’t matter. they told you in their first reply to you

                Um, you’re taking my comment way too seriously. I replied to a cartoon picture. I literally just made up a silly explanation that would fit the photos. Please take a deep breath and go touch some grass.

                And then you proceeded to double down even harder on believing it wasn’t sarcasm. I’m guessing you were just having a terrible day so shake it off and move on.

                  Maybe check the timestamps and see that they replied it was a joke long after id had the discussion with star. So no?

                  Again, this is World. Not Memes. Default assumption is your speaking truthfully. Just because you made a shitty joke doesn’t mean I need to humor it either. I’m sorry I’m not content with everything being a joke.

                  Boo fucking hoo.
