The very first line is this:

"Scientists have released a study of their 2021 discovery of the world's second-deepest blue hole off the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula coast."

I wasn't the best at grammar, but I'm pretty sure the word "their" refers to the scientists, who found it in 2021.

Who did you think the article could have been talking about discovering it if you were so confused?

My guess is you knew exactly what it meant but were triggered and looking for something to be offended about.

To press the issue, how do you feel about Columbus discovering North America? Keep in mind no one has ever claimed that Columbus was the first human to lay foot in North America.

I'm finding it hard to believe you're not screwing with me now...

Is this a joke? Am I missing some kind of joke?

If not can you please link me the 2021 academic paper in which this was described.

Hint: it doesn't f*cking exist
