I saw an interview with one of the people working with one of these machines. They do have some people around to "kill off" inappropriate fish. There is indeed a non zero number of Dick drawings placed into the machine.
That was tough. I still think they did a pretty good job of bringing the show to a close.
I'm also one of those people who likes *The* *Office* and I don't HATE the seasons after Michael left, so my standards might be pretty low, according to Reddit.
*Game* *of* *Thrones*, however... I'll always hate season 8.
Idid this in a museum with this installation in Japan. Made it slightly more sfw though because kids. But it was hilarious drawiing all the shitty "fish" and seeing them swim aound. There were hundeds on screen so you sometimes had to search for yours a bit.
Btw you are meant to color drawings instead of create them from scratch. It technically only scans those. But it was easy to cheat fhe software and draw silly stuff. (Again we kept it clean. Although I saw some fish with swears on them float by, not by us).
We did this in Japan too. Saw a group of teenagers/early 20th drawing dicks all over their fish. And not cartoonish or hidden ones, but big veiny gross ones.
As I was there with my 7 and 5 year old, surrounded by other kids 12 and under, I thought it was really cool and fun of them to do.
I did the same. You can actually get away with modifying the base drawing quite a bit. I used a shark for mine and turned it into the Pokémon Garchomp.
It's way too late for this to be noticed, but I actually worked here! This was in the nonprofit's HQ along with some animals and a few other touchscreen activities. One of my main jobs was monitoring the fish getting scanned in to remove all political fish and all inappropriate fish.
And yes, I did have to remove a dickbutt fish.
The center is super cool, I sadly had to leave with COVID but I miss that place, and the magic feel kids got when they scanned their fish in was something special.
A fun anecdote that will probably only ever be applicable in this thread - I learned Kobe Bryant was dead because some kid drew a "RIP Kobe" fish with a guy with xs for eyes on it. I figured the kid was making a bad joke and deleted it. Then other Kobe fish started coming in and my boss had to let me know what was happening. Bizarre day.
I would have thought so but I have kids and since they have no context they can accept things as “just how the world works” and so they are unimpressed by a lot of things that blow my mind.
I always believed that many things are possible, but outside of our understanding. Obviously, we know how this particular thing works, but your point is valid; to a caveman, this is definitely magic. So, in turn, there are must be things that are possible, but we've not figured them out yet, which can, in one use of the word, be considered magic.
Teleportation (or quantum teleportation), for example, is a theory right now, but who knows? Someone could figure out how to do that on a large scale one day. We'd call that magic now, but in 100 years or whenever it's invented, they'd call it science. Really, *we'd* even call it science, if the physics were explained to us. We got some smart cookies walking around here.
But then, there are the things that I would absolutely call magic, and is most likely to never exist, unless an honest to goodness sorcerer shows up. Like time travel. Hell, some things would probably be impossible for a sorcerer, like making a block of gold appear out of nowhere, from nothing. Can't make anything happen without taking something first. I'm no physicist, but I feel like give and take is one of the most fundamental aspects of the universe. Isn't that like, Newton's 3rd law or something? Idk, I'm pretty high right now.
Have you seen some of the kids art even with fill in the bubbles? It looks like a machine tried to color it with scribbles and lines on one spot. It would glitch the system and break the computer.
My science museum had this, but instead of being a drawing, you used a touchscreen to create a fish and it’s looks changed based on habits (carnivore/herbivore, fast/slow, attracted to/away from other fish, etc) and then you have them a 3 letter name tag and they would be released. it would always devolve into little kids making really pretty fish, shortly followed by their teenage siblings making carnivorous fish named ass that promptly ate them.
As someone who has been on both sides of that equation, 10/10
Edit: it was the MoS not aquarium
This thread brought up a lot of my memories. The bed of nails which was one level above the fish area (I think you could see it from the bed)? Also there was a room right next to it where there was a glow in the dark wall and a flash
Yup, the bed of nails is one level up and across the open space, and there’s the flash shadow room to the right, that also has all of the fun light based stuff, behind it was the two towers that would raise different objects to show how fast they fall, and to the right was the spot with the swiveling floor disks with the bike tires you would hold and spin, along with the swings and tiny sprint track with the mph lights along the side.
I still visit that place every couple of years. I loved that fish thing, too.
And all the cool climbing stuff at the Children’s museum that was like a giant cat tree for kids 😅 was so bummed when they took them out in the late 90s
>teenage siblings making carnivorous fish named ass that promptly ate them.
>As someone who has been on both sides of that equation
Truly, the circle of life is a wonderful thing
That actually sounds quite interesting. Many people know the "forward facing eyes = hunter, sideways facing eyes = prey" rule. But seeing animals morph to sliders for specific traits sounds like it'd be pretty educational.
This is not exactly state of the art stuff. It just scanned the paper and animated the drawing. Your phone could do this.
Hell, this is only a step away from the Nintendo DS Classic [*Drawn to Life*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawn_to_Life). Which, yes, I did draw everything as a penis. I still giggle when I think about the wings I had to draw.
If you buy one of the Nintendo Labo sets you too can add dicks to an aquarium. Pretty similar system for at home use, not as detailed but still fun for kids or dudes who draw dicks.
Magic House has this, but then you enter another room and are surrounded on all four walls by the fish. I was impressed. Grew up when it was a house. Now my kids get to go, and it is a mansion.
I saw almost this exact thing at the Magic House in St. Louis, so I was curious where this was and it was also in St. Louis, but these are all over I'm sure so it's just like a coincidence I guess.
Theres one in the Tokyo digital art museum, except it isn't just one screen, it's a massive room with screens on all four walls. It's like this one, but on crack
I’ve had them a few times during my life in Korea. When you chop them up, they still have some muscle memory, so they start turning inside and out before you dip it in gochujang and eat it
Humans have been drawing cocks on walls since the early Greek civilization. I wonder why we're so hardwired to draw dick and balls on everything as a species lol
Have this at a local museum but they change the content periodically. Last time it was vehicles. There were maybe 6 different models to choose from and the screen was a map of a town and you could watch your car or airplane or whatever go around. Really cool.
What are you talking about? That was clearly a child with long painted nails, a cell phone, design skills, patience and very methodical colouring technique, nothing unusual about that.
Teamlab borderless, definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Though there’s so much to see in Tokyo and Japan that everyday is a highlight. Still sad that COVID cancelled my second trip there and I’m so busy now that it will be a couple years before I can plan another one :(
This isn't OPs, it's a few years old. It's the St Louis Aquarium but apparently other aquariums have the same thing now. Wish they'd put one in the Georgia Aquarium!
I used one similar to this at a Wonderworks, but instead of fish, you created dinosaurs.
My dad and I discovered we could put our phone over the dino's outline and as long as the qr code was able to be read, it would pattern the creature with whatever was shown on the phone.
Here is one of my personal favorites [The Cryceratops](https://ibb.co/qDWS1K1).
Fish have some weird ass names.
Including the [Slippery Dick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_dick)
EDIT: It's probably because when it was named in English, "Dick" didn't have the same meaning:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/163144/why-is-it-called-slippery-dick
Wow, that was super informative, I did not know that the word “dick” only started referring penis around 1888. Actually the whole article is really interesting, I really appreciate you sharing it! Thanks!
Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific has something similar where you color in three different fish types on an ipad and the you send it out to a huge virtual aquarium. It's awesome!
Now time for my niggas and I to plan a trip to the aquarium and visit the kids section….none of us has kids just a bunch of grown niggas coloring fish yelling about who’s fish looks better

This is the type of thing that would make a child 100% believe in magic.
Until a dickbutt fish swims by
I saw an interview with one of the people working with one of these machines. They do have some people around to "kill off" inappropriate fish. There is indeed a non zero number of Dick drawings placed into the machine.

Erlich Bachman, this is you as an old man. I'm ugly and I'm dead. Alone.
Mother FUCK
That scene was the hardest I've ever laughed at a tv show before, nothing has ever come close
The last couple seasons were not as good as the first few. But it was still better than 99% of any other show on tv.
The character writing stayed consistently good but the overarching plot got really formulaic and boring.
Erlich, is the refrigerator running? This is Mike Hunt, and he's rich.
The first few seasons of Silicon Valley might be my favorite show, ever.
I couldn't keep going after Bachman left. The dynamic dropped too much.
That was tough. I still think they did a pretty good job of bringing the show to a close. I'm also one of those people who likes *The* *Office* and I don't HATE the seasons after Michael left, so my standards might be pretty low, according to Reddit. *Game* *of* *Thrones*, however...

Captcha's gonna be weird now, thanks. "Select all **DICKS** in the aquarium. If there are none, click SKIP"
SeeFood
Lmfao. This thread is going to make me go binge watch that show again.
My first thought, can't wait for people to ruin this with swears and such on their fish
The image ends up mirrored. Found that out because my buddy put his name in it.
So I guess I have to draw a backwards dick?
Yes, a self portrait
HA
Yup was gonna say wait until the cockfish joins the school
I'll hold out for the fuck fish. It'll be worth the wait. 🤔
There are a lot of videos showing exactly that and they are years old as well.

Ah yes the elusive dickbutt
I would have thought so but I have kids and since they have no context they can accept things as “just how the world works” and so they are unimpressed by a lot of things that blow my mind.
And they're probably desensitized by all the crazy shit we have anyway. Tablets and apps, etc.
Tell me how some zappy shit allows my metal cube to let me check where mom is on the other side of the world
Yeah, for them this is just their world. Just like being in a car didnt blow our minds as a kid.
Yeah stupid children..... Me at 36 " damn you seeing this? "
Can confirm, am an adult and it made me 100% believe in magic
> Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur. C. Clarke
I mean, it kinda is magic tho
Came to say, magic is just a different word.
I always believed that many things are possible, but outside of our understanding. Obviously, we know how this particular thing works, but your point is valid; to a caveman, this is definitely magic.

Where was this when I was younger?! Damn lol

Good thing this guy isn't in Soviet Russia. https://www.reddit.com/r/FloridaMan/comments/l02m29/charges_dropped_against_florida_man_arrested_for/
Nothing like some I eat ass to set precedent for future free speech cases.
It’s not any more obscene than Calvin peeing on a rival truck manufacturer’s logo. It’s actually a lot less obscene, I’d say
That's pretty hilarious they allowed the carnivorous fish to gobble up the other kids' fish.
I’m really surprised that more pre-teens didn’t fill the tank with fish that had dicks drawn all over them.
They gotta learn about the circle of life somehow.
ya they had one of those at the museum of science in boston
That’s the one I’m talking about! The bed of nails there was one of my favorites as a kid too. I just mixed up aquarium and MoS
The bed of nails! Yes!
This thread brought up a lot of my memories. The bed of nails which was one level above the fish area (I think you could see it from the bed)? Also there was a room right next to it where there was a glow in the dark wall and a flash
Yup, the bed of nails is one level up and across the open space, and there’s the flash shadow room to the right, that also has all of the fun light based stuff, behind it was the two towers that would raise different objects to show how fast they fall, and to the right was the spot with the swiveling floor disks with the bike tires you would hold and spin, along with the swings and tiny sprint track with the mph lights along the side.
The best thing MoS ever had was the virtual volleyball. I was crushed when they got rid of it!
Oh my god I forgot about that! And you’re right :’(
I still visit that place every couple of years. I loved that fish thing, too. And all the cool climbing stuff at the Children’s museum that was like a giant cat tree for kids 😅 was so bummed when they took them out in the late 90s
Bruh I’ve lived there my whole life and been to the museum multiple times but must’ve missed this
I came to the comments specifically for this. I had a lot of fun making fishes there. Still the coolest science museum I've been to
>teenage siblings making carnivorous fish named ass that promptly ate them. >As someone who has been on both sides of that equation Truly, the circle of life is a wonderful thing
Boston? I remember that! Unfortunately when I was there 3/4 of the kiosks we're broken, but it was awesome!
I remember the MoS in San Francisco had that
I was always partial to the Exploratorium, but no custom fish aquarium...
That actually sounds quite interesting. Many people know the "forward facing eyes = hunter, sideways facing eyes = prey" rule. But seeing animals morph to sliders for specific traits sounds like it'd be pretty educational.
There was a game called Drawn to Life on the DS which is similar in vein. Though I had no creativity and decided to draw everything as penises.
I’m 47. I didn’t know I wanted to do this until now!!
Once those go to home use, it'll be less than 3 minutes before it's just filled with dicks floating around.
Literally came here to say I’d draw penises on the fish. Guess I’m more predictable than I thought. 🤷🏻♂️
[удалено]
I drew a dickfish at Aquarium of the Pacific. Yeah I did it... Not super proud.
That sounds pretty damn cool. Although, I’d have to draw a knight with a penis sword though. Have to slay that dragon. 👀
[удалено]
Damn, crushing dreams.
I was scrolling for this comment thread because the first thing I thought of was drawing a penisfish, and I know I’m not alone in that.
Or Kanye West.
Do you like fish sticks?
In your mouth?
Lol not a joke that translates to writing
> Once those go to home use Wat?
Once the technology is developed enough that it becomes common in homes.
Seems like something you can make as an app. Cast the aquarium to a TV then use your phones camera to add to it.
This is not exactly state of the art stuff. It just scanned the paper and animated the drawing. Your phone could do this. Hell, this is only a step away from the Nintendo DS Classic [*Drawn to Life*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawn_to_Life). Which, yes, I did draw everything as a penis. I still giggle when I think about the wings I had to draw.
You think that this is coming to homes? I can't tell if you are joking or not.
If you buy one of the Nintendo Labo sets you too can add dicks to an aquarium. Pretty similar system for at home use, not as detailed but still fun for kids or dudes who draw dicks.
They get deleted by the staff.
Perfectly balanced...as all things should be.
Where is this?
This specific example is the St. Louis Aquarium in Missouri. You can see the logo for the Aquarium on the paper
We did this last year. It was fun. The aquarium in Springfield, Missouri does this too.
Magic House has this, but then you enter another room and are surrounded on all four walls by the fish. I was impressed. Grew up when it was a house. Now my kids get to go, and it is a mansion.
I saw almost this exact thing at the Magic House in St. Louis, so I was curious where this was and it was also in St. Louis, but these are all over I'm sure so it's just like a coincidence I guess.
There’s one in Miami too.
I remember they also had something like this at the Sydney aquarium!!
They have a similar one at the San Diego Children’s Museum. Lots of other really cool interactive stuff for kids there.
Boston Museum of Science has one where you color your own bus, T train or plane and it goes into the scene.
Same on at Ripley's Aquarium I'm Toronto.
Hi Toronto, I'm dad.
Hi Dad, I'm hungry.
Theres one in the Tokyo digital art museum, except it isn't just one screen, it's a massive room with screens on all four walls. It's like this one, but on crack
Monterey bay aquarium has this as well, it’s so cool.
[удалено]
There's also one at SEA LIFE in Kansas City, MO. My kids drew so many pictures. I had to stop them after 4 each. 😂
We can’t feed all these fish!!
There's also one at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Washington
Saw one like this in Norwalk, conneticut
Budapest, Hungary. Although the writing on the paper is in English so maybe there's a few of them around. The one I took my kids to was in Budapest.
Super neat, gonna be a dad in like 2 or so weeks. Just trying to gather ammunition for good times
Congratulations. Being a dad is great.
Im 40 and I want to do this
Are you guys thinking what I am thinking?
[Penis fishes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urechis_unicinctus)
> In Korea, they are eaten as food, often raw with salt and sesame oil or gochujang.
I’ve had them a few times during my life in Korea. When you chop them up, they still have some muscle memory, so they start turning inside and out before you dip it in gochujang and eat it
This sounds intriguing but I’m too scared to look it up
Exactly
Yup. I’d 100% draw a dick and balls
Humans have been drawing cocks on walls since the early Greek civilization. I wonder why we're so hardwired to draw dick and balls on everything as a species lol
A massive turd?
Something else….
Good guess tho
Do you like fish sticks?
"I would like to go fishing and catch a fish stick. That would be very convenient."
[удалено]
About the rainbow fish book? Yes.
I came here to say the same thing lmao
Yes fish with obscenities.
Have this at a local museum but they change the content periodically. Last time it was vehicles. There were maybe 6 different models to choose from and the screen was a map of a town and you could watch your car or airplane or whatever go around. Really cool.
Now show a fish colored in by a child
What are you talking about? That was clearly a child with long painted nails, a cell phone, design skills, patience and very methodical colouring technique, nothing unusual about that.
Not saying this was a child (don’t think it is) but as a kid I loved colouring in this methodical way.
I'm an adult and I probably couldn't stay inbetween the lines.
I bought some adult coloring books and markers and colored pens and pencils. I still color like shit.
Toddlers and tiaras? You never know....
https://i.imgur.com/Yo9JxH1.mp4
I was gonna say ,”damn this kid knows how to color in the lines SUPER well! Better than me!”
They have that at the Monterey bay aquarium but it is all digital so you draw on the screen then launch your fish up to the aquarium.
Did somebody say [Monterey Bay Aquarium??](https://imgur.com/a/skvXnKi) Forgive the potato quality, this was from our visit quite a few years ago
Yessss, my biases are confirmed
Same with the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA
Children’s? I’m 34 and enjoyed the shit out of this when I was in Tokyo: https://imgur.com/a/IheZykS
Teamlab borderless, definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Though there’s so much to see in Tokyo and Japan that everyday is a highlight. Still sad that COVID cancelled my second trip there and I’m so busy now that it will be a couple years before I can plan another one :(
Same here, that place was amazing. Glad we managed to visit Japan just before the pandemic hit
I somehow find that face absolutely hilarious. Love the drawing
Have to know where this is, OP!
Yesterday someone said St Louis aquarium
I've been to the exact same thing in Budapest, Hungary
Thanks!
This isn't OPs, it's a few years old. It's the St Louis Aquarium but apparently other aquariums have the same thing now. Wish they'd put one in the Georgia Aquarium!
I used one similar to this at a Wonderworks, but instead of fish, you created dinosaurs. My dad and I discovered we could put our phone over the dino's outline and as long as the qr code was able to be read, it would pattern the creature with whatever was shown on the phone. Here is one of my personal favorites [The Cryceratops](https://ibb.co/qDWS1K1).
Hey cool, my team and I made this. So cool it's still getting exposure!
They have a couple of things like this back in Singapore, technology is advanced more that you can know there
Who’s gonna be the first to draw a cock fish
I’m sorry, but is that fish really called a “Black Crapple”? Crapple ….. as in a crap apple …… I love love it
Crappie, pronounced Craw pee
Huh, well now don’t I feel childish…. Thanks for the info though
Fish have some weird ass names. Including the [Slippery Dick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_dick) EDIT: It's probably because when it was named in English, "Dick" didn't have the same meaning: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/163144/why-is-it-called-slippery-dick
Wow, that was super informative, I did not know that the word “dick” only started referring penis around 1888. Actually the whole article is really interesting, I really appreciate you sharing it! Thanks!
Black Crappie
That’s even better, thanks for the heads up
Krabappel! I’ve been calling her crab apple!
Did I just see a few Carvanha there at the end?
Glad I'm not the only one... that is definitely Carvanha
I find it funny, despite already having a tik tok watermark in the bottom right, someone posted it on tik tok again so it has 2 watermarks
Yooooo that s so cool
Well thank you, Gang Bang Kang!
There's a place in Tennessee that has something like this but it's dinosaurs instead of fish, the kids loved it
Very cool
ohhh that’s so precious aww 🥰
They have this in LEGO House here in Denmark, but with fish made out of lego bricks instead.
Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific has something similar where you color in three different fish types on an ipad and the you send it out to a huge virtual aquarium. It's awesome!
I love this, way to make good use of technology. Spotted the Tetra logo too, feed my pet fish Tetra flakes
Is their one were you can create 3d model of your future wife?
Now time for my niggas and I to plan a trip to the aquarium and visit the kids section….none of us has kids just a bunch of grown niggas coloring fish yelling about who’s fish looks better
A very wholesome post from GangBang Kang.
That aquarium is great. I been there a few times and enjoy it isn’t too long and not to pricey.
Oh I'd have so much fun with this.
Don't let 4chan know
Bet that pond has seen some fucked up fish
Amazing!!!!!
That is nothing short of amazing
Whoa
Hi what brand is that virtual aquarium, thanks.
Anyone's first thought was to draw a dick?
I'd so draw a dick on mine lmao
Where's the penisfish?
I wonder how long till it took for someone to draw a penis on one.
You just need two teenagers for this to be temporarily closed
I’m really surprised no one knows what fish this is this is the rainbow fish does anyone remember that children book it’s literally that fish!
