If I had to guess I’d say the pic was taken at the beach somewhere nears Santa Barbara, CA. That island is probably Santa Cruz Island, the oil rigs are rigs, and yes, kelp forests are huge. That wave does look spectacularly clear, though.
There are many ways to spell his name in our feeble language. If you tried to pronounce it in the Old One’s langauage your mind would explode. Its not very pretty.
Probably photoshopped. That wave would have to be really thick to be able to have the fading effect on some of those strands. That’s presuming it was intended to look like seaweed.
He was saying he things it is. So it is a most deserved fail. Seriously even I recognised what it is immediately. Doesn’t make it any less ominous though.
the sloping front of the wave bends the light, therefore you do not see through the wave, but down into the ocean, causing a fading effect. where i come from this phenomenon is 7th grade physics.
The name is a romanization of a language impossible to speak for human tongues. How you do write it is absolutely irrelevant. Cthulhu, Ctulu, Ktulu, everythings the same, an approximation.
But it also doesn’t make Bobo’s suggestion that getting out of a sad-ass landlocked area is the solution. You don’t need to live in a sad-ass landlocked area to have never seen kelp like this before.
Dude, I live on the same MFing island as you do, and I can safely say that just because we don’t get seaweed like that, it doesn’t mean other places don’t.
why does everyone jump to bloody photoshop all the time!… FFS ppl… its a wave sucking up kelp! seriously photoshop wtf… just because you personally haven’t seen it happen before doesn’t mean it can’t exist and there for has to have been photoshopped >_<
well there are sea-weeds (e.g. macrocystis pyrifera, “giant kelp” etc) that go for 45+meters (what’s that in feet? about 150ft?), really fascinating stuff. so yea, cthulhu’s on His way, eh?
The name is actually supposed to be unpronouncable by humans, and just hearing the correct version is said to drive those that hear it to madness. But when people are just talking about it, there are a few pronunciations. The most common is kuh-thoo-loo, but I’ve also heard ka-tu-lu, kuh-tul-hloo, and (the weirdest, but probably most accurate) klûl-hloo. It also doesn’t help that the poster misspelled it (it should be Cthulhu).
This isn’t a fake- it’s kelp, this is from the coast of California, there is a huge kelp forest around there, and when the lighting is correct, you can see it like that…
Yeah, youngsters presume that anything odd or unusual in the world is always photo shopped. Knowhudimean? If it doesn’t exist in their mom’s basement, it must be photoshop.
Why the heck are you guys concerned about seaweed and kelp and Photoshop at a time like this?
CAN’T YOU SEE A COSMIC BEAST IS WALKING RIGHT OUT OF THE SEA?!
To be quite honest those are either this odd type of eel that sticks out of its hole and sways with the currents to catch fish and watch out for danger or is is a lot of seaweed. The latter seems less likely
Hello demotivators
Look at the land
now to Sea
now back to the land
now Back to sea
Surprisingly, that is the real sea
but if you stopped acting like total douchebags and see what Abra did see you could stop being total Dees
Look down
back up
where are you
you clicked the link of the page with the real pic of the sea
What’s in your mind
back at sea
It’s a type of seaweed that gives a tentacle appearance when a wave comes in
Look again
It does kinda look like Cthulhu
Anything is possible when you act like normal people and not a douch
I’m totally bored
WTF source
Seaweed.
Source: The Ocean.
Honestly, just TinEye it.
^Win.
knowing that it is seaweed doesn’t make this pic any less disturbing
agreed…
CTHULU….THE OLD ONE

Used to go to school in SB. That definitely looks familiar.

Way to misspell Cthulhu jackass
There are many ways to spell his name in our feeble language. If you tried to pronounce it in the Old One’s langauage your mind would explode. Its not very pretty.
You do realize that you shouldn’t mention them by their real names , lest you want to die a creative yet horrible death ?
Those names put in print are just approximations so that nobody gets an eternity of pain just for reading out a text aloud…
Isn’t that only Hastur the Unspeakable, He Who Must Not Be Named, master of the air?
Usually, however it is a good idea to never utter the name of an Old God, demon, devil or a Moderator’s name. Nothing good usually comes of it.
forgot the “h” after the “l”, you are soooo dead
Photoshop.
You suck at it.
knowing it’s a real picture, you suck at it. the wave is making seaweed that would normally lie flat on the bottom stand up.
Amazing photo!
Actually Kelp stands upright…
Actually, Kelp stands upright…
Internet fail, sorry for double post
Probably photoshopped. That wave would have to be really thick to be able to have the fading effect on some of those strands. That’s presuming it was intended to look like seaweed.
I see you have not been at the beach very much in your life…
Of course he hasn’t! how else could he have been around to comment “shopped” on every picture to appear on teh internetz?
He said “PROBABLY” shopped. He wasn’t saying it is.
He was saying he things it is. So it is a most deserved fail. Seriously even I recognised what it is immediately. Doesn’t make it any less ominous though.
the sloping front of the wave bends the light, therefore you do not see through the wave, but down into the ocean, causing a fading effect. where i come from this phenomenon is 7th grade physics.
Huh. I thought it was gonna be a Japan Tsunami joke.
na noone on the internet is that cruel.
ching chong ling long ting tong…
Anata ga nihongo de/ taipu o hanasu koto ga dekinainode, Emi, sore wa okashii. I believe I typed that correctly.
Well, that’s how you pronounce it.
Many people are.
The correct spelling is Cthulhu. He doesn’t approve improper use of his holy name, so expect very disturbing nightmares anytime soon.
The name is a romanization of a language impossible to speak for human tongues. How you do write it is absolutely irrelevant. Cthulhu, Ctulu, Ktulu, everythings the same, an approximation.
I’A! CTHULHU FHTAGN!
Azathoth > Cthluhu
U Mad Bro?
Lovecraft: He totally mad
Cthulhu is not mindless, unlike the gods that dance around Azathoth, whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos, Nyarlathotep.
Fine then. Yog Sothoth!
Shouldn’t it be “Cthulhu has awakned”?
No. It shouldn’t.
Is the fourth time that I see something about Cthulhu today around the internet.
I hope is not some kind of signal.
O.K! Who’s been playing Metallica at the beach again??
LOL
He is awake, and you will worship him.
and he will crush Justin Beaver.
Amen.
Beenn watching South Park lately?
A little Doctor Who does a world of good, doesn’t it?
its spelled cthulhu
Seriously people? Photoshop? Have you never seen seaweed before? Get out of your sad-ass landlocked areas, even if just for vacation.
I’ve never seen seaweed like that before & I don’t live in a sad-ass landlocked area. I live on a MFing island! (North Island of NZ)
I’ve never seen your ass but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
^This
But it also doesn’t make Bobo’s suggestion that getting out of a sad-ass landlocked area is the solution. You don’t need to live in a sad-ass landlocked area to have never seen kelp like this before.

A penguin in a tuxedo. (That’s logic for you)
Wait, so penguins aren’t all wearing tuxes?
That’s the logic behind it, yes.
Until you recognise that one isn’t, you’ll never konw.
It’s called KELP, dearest. -_-” Kelp does INDEED look like that. It’s scary as sandwiches.
Kelp IS scary as hell. Especially when it washes up on the beach and it looks like some sort of sea demon from the depths.
Ooh! Aggressive! Someone’s got too much seaweed up their ass…
For those of us who actually work, there is no such thing as a vacation.
Or for those of us from the UK. We only go on Holidays. XD
Where are the narwhals when you need them?
Probably swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, cuz they r awesome.
In fact, they’re the ones that caused Cthulhu to arise again.
They will stop Cthulhu from eating ye.
why does everyone jump to bloody photoshop all the time!… FFS ppl… its a wave sucking up kelp! seriously photoshop wtf… just because you personally haven’t seen it happen before doesn’t mean it can’t exist and there for has to have been photoshopped >_<
Photoshopped? Fugging idjyts.
Go down to the beach.
Look a the waves.
See seaweed.
Get a tan maybe.
?????
Profit.
LOLOL
Summer
well there are sea-weeds (e.g. macrocystis pyrifera, “giant kelp” etc) that go for 45+meters (what’s that in feet? about 150ft?), really fascinating stuff. so yea, cthulhu’s on His way, eh?
Approx. 125FT., btw. 1 metre/meter = approx. 3FT.
how do you pronounce its name? chu-tu-lu?
I’d say kt-ul-u
kt: faCT
ul: tOOL
u: open-end u/o wOO.
kinda. but who dares to claim profoundknowledge of His holy name
Nyarlathotep, the crawling chaos, might.
no wait you meant the kelp’s name? latin XD
The name is actually supposed to be unpronouncable by humans, and just hearing the correct version is said to drive those that hear it to madness. But when people are just talking about it, there are a few pronunciations. The most common is kuh-thoo-loo, but I’ve also heard ka-tu-lu, kuh-tul-hloo, and (the weirdest, but probably most accurate) klûl-hloo. It also doesn’t help that the poster misspelled it (it should be Cthulhu).
His name may be spelled in many different ways in your crude human system if writing.
You’d need several throats to pronounce it. Or gills. It would be something like Kh-Tuh-Loo
khtûl’-hloo
Ka-too-loo
Personally, I say Ka-thoo-loo. I guess it’s different for everyone
I think it’s pronounced CHOO-LOO
^pronounciation!!!! DANG!
This isn’t a fake- it’s kelp, this is from the coast of California, there is a huge kelp forest around there, and when the lighting is correct, you can see it like that…

Thank you for the picture Mr.Cthulhu!

XD My point exactly.
Finally, someone with some sense.
I just shat the Great Wall of China…
Kelp-hulhu?
uh, no. kelp-ed-hulhu?
^Win!
This looks shopped.
I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Yes, kelp photoshopped reality, you will be deleted in 3, 2……
We called it Sin.
Even knowing it’s a harmless, common occurance I would not swim anywhere near that wave.
WHAT IF YOU GOT TANGLED IN IT?! I can’t swim very well to begin with. D:
Kelp! Kelp!, I’m Drowning!
I loled.
“Iä! Iä! Cthulhu Fhtagn!”
