For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Do you have evidence that oceans were less plentiful in the past? Or are you just taking a contrarian position because it's easy?
Again, I'm NOT the one that needs to provide evidence, because I have made no claims.
The ORIGINAL POSTER needs to provide proof because their "meme" is an infograph with a claim.
You're twisting the burden of proof, so go f yourself for your bad faith.
if you can dismiss the proofless infograph without proof, I can dismiss your dismissal without proof. We can go on recursively all day.
Not now that works. They made a claim without backing. They now need to prove it.
I don't need to prove my claim because I have no claim. My only request was a demand for proof for the original comic.
Look, if this were a publication in a scientific journal, sure.
But it's not. It's a webforum. In casual conversation, you can gesture to the idea that there was more sealife before mechanization, pollution, and industrial fishing becacasue... yeah. Duh. Of course there was.
Your whole attitude has been bad faith from the beginning. I think your curiosity would have gone over a lot better had you stopped before saying "Or is this just wish-fulfillment hogwash?"
I don't see why you had to start off so combative.
