The “Boops Boops in a bucket” photo used to be the main article image on Wikipedia and it tickled me in just the right way, I screenshotted it in 2021.
I went to check on it a couple years later after telling someone about it, and the photo was completely gone from the article! I was so sad. But I still had my screenshot.
Looking now, the bucket photo has returned further down the page!
Looking at the Wikipedia history for this page is funny, there are so many edits for one page for a small little goofy fish. Really shows how much work goes into maintaining that encyclopedia! And looking at the little spats about such things as the color of the bucket, and whether or not it is appropriate to mention such in the caption… Fascinating. EDIT: I keep going deeper. The caption for this exact image has been HOTLY contested. Also it has been said that the bucket is blue, and also that the bucket is turquoise. Also it can’t be decided on if “Boops boops in a bucket” is an appropriate caption because it is literally correct, or if it is “roflcopter nonsense” simply because the name of the fish happens to be silly…
TIL there’s a Swedish website called fishbase that has info about all kinds of fishes.
Are they red, and gummy, and delicious in small smounts?
Also the roly poly kind. Eat them up, yum!
and only sweet-ish?
Though it’s pronounced boh-ops boh-ops, alas.
I know that this is true, but i refuse to abandon the superior pronunciation.
Right.
You say boops, I say boops.
Boops, boops, boops, boops,
Let’s call the whole thing off.
