@mms Downdetector-dot-com is crowdsourced I believe, and my hot-take-hypothesis at this point is that a lot of services rely on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure all at the same time, and when one goes down, these services go down as well.
From there it's easy for folks to make incorrect assumptions.

Before anyone mentions how reliable Google Cloud is, here's a massive outage from June this year:

If you're a journalist writing about this Azure outage, don't forget to ask Microsoft how much of their code is "AI-generated".

Folks, it's all okay! It was just an inadvertent configuration change [that happened to bring loads of services for millions of users down]. No biggie.

Look, this is the level of professionalism we should expect of Microsoft at this point.
They had a separate global outage of Office 365 (or whatever it's called this week) *this month* already:

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/03/01/microsoft-outages/3061740867107/Not to mention smaller ones, like the one in US-East that prevented admins from accessing the admin center:

@rysiek Next time itโll be an advertent change, just to keep it fresh.

They should at least reduce the "365" by one, for every outage.

Microsoft will have to hike the price again just to keep the ratio at 1:1!

There's also the notion that sailors developed the idea of mermaids from seeing pinnipeds like seals or manatees from far away, and with a bit of longing and loneliness thrown in. I think it is far-fetched to suppose that people who live by the sea would be unfamiliar with everything that lives in the water. I don't think a sailor would not know what a seal looks like.

There are a couple of other thoughts here. One is that there's a topological similarity between a mermaid and a woman in a long skirt. Both obscure the bifurcation of the legs, uniting them into a single entity. It's hard to imagine that there wasn't some influence of the image of a woman in a long skirt on the idea of a mermaid.

I might be overthinking all this, though. It might be that mermaids and sirens and tritonesses and so on were just a way to sneak some bewbs into your classical art.
-
But if you think of mermaids as enchanting creatures that entice sailors to crash their ships onto the rocky shore, then the womanly half is more like the lure of an angler fish than anything else. An attractive extrusion to entice prey.
-
I think there is some conflation of sirens and mermaids, although I guess the original sirens from Greek mythology were more birdlike.
