Pro tip: check if you're in a meme sub before taking any posts seriously or making judgements of peoples intellects. Big loser energy bud.

"In the east and center, Ran saw icy terraces stacked like steps, while the west looked smoother, with channels and scooped depressions."
icy terraces = ancient cities beyond comprehension, thank you very much.

Excuse me but Ill keep my alarmist hyperbole thankyou verymuch!
Those unknown structures?
Using sonar, Ran mapped 54 square miles of ice underside beneath Dotson Ice Shelf. The maps revealed flat plateaus, terraced steps, and teardrop-shaped pits, all carved by basal melt, melting that attacks the ice from below.
In the east and center, Ran saw icy terraces stacked like steps, while the west looked smoother, with channels and scooped depressions.
None of these terraces or teardrop pits show up on satellite images, so they had remained completely hidden until Ran’s mission.
You're not the boss of me! I'll do what I want!

Antarctica is a continent, you can't send a sub underneath it. Ran discovered previously unseen structures beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.
The Arctic is covered in floating ice, you can send subs under it. Well, it's covered at the moment, climate change is working on changing all that.

Get yer P-90s ready, boys. We’re about to go snake huntin’
Earth.com is, in my experience, ridiculously clickbaity and sensationalist. The open-access article recounting this (that the OP article just regurgitates) is here. (I know this is a memes community; don't @ me.)

That thing looks a bit like a giant red squid.
Do you think an actual giant red squid would know it wasn't?
That device is now at the bottom of the sea after a squid made sweet love to it. 🐙 🦑

Meta question: can someone enlighten me on the source/background of the image used for this meme? Is it from some movie?
