The Left would add an "M" to the LGBT... list. We conservatives would start building a wall at the seaside to keep them from entering the country illegally.

Obviously an intelligent species on our level isn’t around in our environment. If mermen live in the deep dark abyss it’d be cool.

But that would mean their environment is exactly opposite of ours. We both would find each others worlds poisonous.

People would put them in places where they could look at them

Sailors would go, "we fucking told you?"

I'd think it would be really cool

Sadly they'd be monetized.
