Who knew salad could be so sweet?
These cookies are simply too beautiful to eat.
These astounding cake creations are mesmerizing to watch come to life.
The bony fish are characterized by their dark-bodied appearance, with the females having a luminescent protrusion from their heads to lure prey in the darkness.
Here is a news report.

Marine wildlife photographer David Jara Bogunyà with the NGO Condrik Tenerife said the sighting was a "dream come true," and recalled their early fascination with the anglerfish.
"When I was a kid, I had a book with some deep-sea creatures, and I loved the illustrations," said the photographer, adding,
"They were crazy to me. The animals didn’t look real."
Condrik Tenerife confirmed to local Spanish outlet Marca that the anglerfish died, suggesting it had been previously injured.
Marine biologist Laia Valor told the EFE news agency, “There could be thousands of reasons why it was there."
“We simply don’t know. It’s an extremely rare and isolated sighting.”
Here is footage of the wayward anglerfish being filmed before its final moments.
Although the species appears menacing with its intimidating teeth, social media users found themselves crying over the helpless anglerfish that made its way to the light and died.
One user digitally animated a short called "The Brave Anglerfish" set to Taylor Swift's song "Cardigan."
…Which didn't help the internet hold back tears.
Other animated depictions followed.
And the dam finally broke.
One viral TikTok clip showed a woman bawling her eyes out over the story, and the floating caption reads:
"Full moon energy is my sister fully losing it over the angler fish storyline and destroying our family's emotional stability."

People found the heartbreak relatable.

Another viral clip showed a TikToker explaining the story to her boyfriend and barely managing to articulate her thoughts through the tears.
“This is not about a f'king anglerfish," her boyfriend says to her, to which the woman tells him to "Stop" and confirms that it is.
"It was curious. It wanted to see the light that it didn't produce itself for the last time," she explains, emotionally choked up.
Users shared their grief.

Marine scientist Bruce Robison shared his theory with National Geographic about the anglerfish's death, suggesting that it likely consumed something with a swim bladder or gas gland, and therefore, rose to the surface.
Other theories included that underground fissures may have forced the fish to continue rising, or a predator eating and then spitting it out near the surface of the water.
Or maybe she just wanted to see the light.
The New York Times Best Seller is described as a "simple, sweet, and semi-autobiographical narrative" about a girl who wishes to be rid of her freckles but learns to accept them.
The 2007 book, which eventually launched a series of follow-ups, was inspired by her son starting to reject aspects of his appearance, which reminded Moore of her childhood.
"It is a great shock for me to learn that my first book, Freckleface Strawberry, has been banned by the Trump Administration from schools run by the Department of Defense," wrote Moore in the post caption.
She continued:
"Freckleface Strawberry is a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different 'just like everybody else.' ”
"It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community."
According to the DoDEA's website, the federal school system is "responsible for planning, directing, coordinating, and managing prekindergarten through 12th grade educational programs on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD)."
The globally positioned DoDEA operates 161 accredited schools in 9 districts located in 11 foreign countries, 7 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
Moore said she was "particularly stunned" since she was "a proud graduate" of Frankfurt American High School, which is a DoD school in Frankfurt, Germany.
"I grew up with a father who is a Vietnam veteran and spent his career in the #USArmy. I could not be prouder of him and his service to our country."
"It is galling for me to realize that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a @dodea_edu school will not have access to a book written by someone whose life experience is so similar to their own."
"And I can’t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that cause it to be banned by the US Government."
"I am truly saddened and never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of speech and expression is a constitutional right."
She concluded the post by giving a shout-out to PEN America for alerting her to the disappointing news.
Social media users were gobsmacked by the news and couldn't process the reality of the situation.

Parents of children studying in Pentagon schools serving U.S. military families received a memo stating that the DoD was examining books that "potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics.”
The memo obtained by The Guardian also noted that a “small number of items” were identified and held for “further review.”
DoDEA spokesperson Will Griffin issued a statement explaining:
“As part of the review, books potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics as defined in the Executive Orders will be relocated to the professional staff collection for evaluation."
“During this period, access will be limited to professional staff.”
While the DoDEA has not confirmed whether or not Freckleface Strawberry was pulled from shelves," Griffin told CNN that any books haven't yet officially been banned.
“At this time, we are conducting a review," said Griffin, adding, "No materials have been permanently removed from our school libraries pending completion of the review."
Officials conducting a "compliance review” of the library books comes as Trump cracks down on DEI and other anti-discriminatory initiatives put in place by the previous Democratic administration.
