While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration lists entanglement in fishing gear as a primary cause of mortality and injury among right whales, there has never been a death traced back to the Maine lobster industry and only one documented injury from lobster gear since 2004.

I'm not trying to troll anyone, but I have seen conflicting reports and I'm genuinely curious how this evolved. The contrary reports all say that there is no primary source material.

If you Google it, there are plenty of sites supporting the idea. Does anyone know what the deal is?

Finally, an issue that this Reddit community can unite behind! Let's do this.

I think the nostalgia part of the memories is that these things are new experiences at the time we experience them for the first time. Nostalgic is like the more powerful experience we had because it's the first time we really experience these new things. Over time, when we see or hear similar media, it's not that it isn't as important to us, but that we have already seen/heard similar things, so the impact is lessened. We value those original experiences more because of the power they had from being new and compare everything else to it, which fails in comparison because media changes and evolves over time.
