minus-squareFigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year ago I wonder why it was buoyant. Like if it’s just the sheared off end of a cylinder you’d think it would just sink? Something doesn’t have to be buoyant to wash up on shore.
minus-squareDogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s true, however you can see from the barnacles that this object is in fact buoyant.
minus-squareFigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t know enough about this to argue, so sure. We are all just jumping to conclusions though. It could have been partially submerged somewhere else, gathered the barnacles, and then relocated to this beach after a storm. Who knows…
