      Fun fact, the term “7 seas” has never referred to any specific list of seas and is older than knowledge of the Pacific/Indian oceans by western cultures

        I always imagine the Roman’s got confused by all the different names for all the bits of the Mediterranean, such as the Ionian Sea and the Aegean abd the Adriatic and the Thyrrenean and just went: All of them. All seven or whatever. Yeah seven sounds nice. Now stop bothering me about the bay of whatever.

          Because there are over 50 seas?
          But more colloquially, the 7 seas are generally taken to be 7 different regions of the 5 oceans (seeing as most people recognise the southern ocean as the 5th of the traditionally 4 oceans).

          I know you are trolling and sealioning or JAQing off.
          But, for such established facts, you can Google these things yourself.
          And even if you don’t trust most of the sources, the majority will confirm there are not 7 seas.

            You can call me a dumbass all you want. Doesn’t change the real facts. You and your hobby hurt the environment. There is 0 environmental benefit from you polluting the seven seas. Call me a sea lion. Hope the next time you see a dead one you think about what I said.

              Well, I didn’t call you a dumbass.
              I know you are new here. Maybe you are used to Reddit. I find a lot more of the discussions here are done in good faith.

              I definitely hurt the environment. It’s, unfortunately, what humans do. I try not to, but it seems just existing requires it to some extent.

              Also, I’m not a diver.
              I dropped in to this discussion, saw you asking for a source, so I provided easily google-able answers to try and clear stuff up.

              So, check your assumptions, wind your neck in, and chill out.
              Or pour another glass of wine, and enjoy your weekend of trolling.
