I am rewatching The Little Mermaid and during the scene where prince Eric’s ship is hit by a storm, you can see some shorter shots of the sea beneath its surface and it looks pretty calm, while the surface is absolutely ravaged by the storm.
Is this an oversimplification or is this actually the case?


It’s stupidly difficult to find an answer thanks to the enshittification of the internet. I did find this:

Try Kagi, a paid search engine, it has improved a lot my experience on the internet. You can also set personal preferences to avoid sites, or mark results as slop so other users avoid them as well.
Gotta admit that Kagi has been a breath of fresh air. Worth the cost, and the ability to have your searches use anonymous tokens instead is a big plus as well.
How can you use anonymous tokens
Kagi Privacy Pass.
https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html
So your browser generates tokens from your logged in session. Then when searching it uses a token instead of your session id for your Kagi searches. So your search on Kagi’s end looks the same as every other privacy pass token search, not individually identifiable.
Privacy Pass does not work on the limited Starter plan. That plan is limited to 300 searches per month, so they have to be able to track your specific usage.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the explanation!
