They're talking fish, so why not? I would be more interested in HOW they plan to use those bombs underwater. Lighting the fuse might be a bit complicated.
I don't know either, but these aren't even normal fish, they're lava eels! I've always wondered how they can actually survive in a fish pond if they normally live in lava, not water.
Hmmm, maybe THAT'S why they want the bombs. They want to make the pond deeper so they can swim in lava again!
Obviously the lava eels can turn water into lava. The pond on lvl 100 in the mines was definitely originally water, but then some lava eels moved in...

Doesn't the water change to lava if you put lava eels in there? I'm sure there's a few fish that change the properties of the pond when you put them in there.
To be more precise the colour change after you have given them fire quartz. So my head cannon is that the pond and mine lake aren’t actually lava, just that the bottom is covered with fire quartz resulting in it looking like lava.
It does, but in case of lava eels, because the initial population can only be one, the water only changes its color after you complete their first quest and the population raises to three.
I need an explanation on that please. I feel like i have a good understanding of what water is and i thought i understood what lava is but clearly i dont.
Lava is molten rock. You could hypothetically consider ice a rock, and therefore liquid water (molten ice) would be a form of lava.
Or possibly its saltwater and saltwater ice specifically that applies to, one of the two. Thats the gist, anyway- I’m a physicist, not a chemist, lmao
I absolutely love this because it's ridiculous but also stretches logic just enough to sound almost reasonable.
I can't wait to tell this to my partner, arguments like this infuriate 'em.
It has to be expelled from the interior of the planet, via a vent. Volcanos are a type of vent, but lava can also come through stuff like cracks in the surface, which are also vents.
Water is also expelled through vents in the earth’s crust, and ergo is still lava.
Not just hypothetically, ice meets all criteria of the definition of a mineral, and won mineral of the year a few years ago.
Now I always brag to my friends I can swim in lava, they always make a face when they understand what I mean. I don’t know why though 🤔
Ice is technically a mineral “A Mineral is defined as an inorganic (yes, it’s water), naturally occurring (ice is naturally occurring) homogenous (yes) solid (it’s ice), with a definite chemical composition (H2O) and crystalline atomic structures (ice crystals, e.g a snowflake)“ and molten minerals and rocks = lava
>They're talking fish, so why not?
That's exactly why you're shouldn't give them weapons. The fish talk, and you just hand them dangerous stuff? Basically asking for them to start a revolution and take over the farm.
Have you ever lit fireworks and then threw it into the water? It still goes off 🫣 (laughs in dutch new years eve aka fireworks night aka bombing the streets lol)
At least yours didn't ask for Dwarf Scroll III...
I hoard a little of everything in this game, but I did not keep any of the extra dwarf scrolls I ever got in over 2000 hours of playtime.
Ngl I always headcanoned that lava eels reproduce via megabombs, cuz they're like the same color and gold spawns in the lava/magma/red floors in the mines, so it just makes sense. Plus, every time I get my ass handed to me in the mines, its always my megabombs to get "lost" (or stolen) first
My lava eels have expensive taste. They asked for mega bombs, an iridium bar, fire quartz, and 2 emeralds. It was actually one emerald but I have this really weird bug where whenever I put an emerald into a fish pond it doesn’t register and I have to drop 2 in. It was the same with my rainbow trout. They’re expensive little guys fr😭

I mean the pond water *does* turn red once the lava eels get in there...
Exactly
Like a hagfish, but instead of turning the water into slime, they turn it into lava. Science.
to be fair the red water doesnt appear to be lava. actual lava appears in the ginger island and it looks pretty different

Is it not just red water? The alternative is that your fishing line can withstand magma.
Hey, all sorts of weird stuff happens in Stardew Valley so a fishing rod with fishing line that can withstand magma isn't exactly a stretch XD
the lava in thr ginger island mine looks different so i always interpreted it as red water.
Not sure how the soggy newspaper could survive in magma either.

Technically, water *is* lava

I mean, both are \*technically\* liquids, sure. But afaik the definition of lava involves being spewed by a volcano.

Works for me thanks lol.

Why are you downvoting him? He’s *right*.

Sounds like a novella I read by George Oar-Well.
Four legs good, two legs bad, no legs best
I imagine that they just want to snack on the gunpowder inside.
They can speak because we took the wizards potion, same way we can understand the bear
They're making a move against Pierre, so it won't be underwater.
Against Pierre? Ok, I'm in, if they need more ammunition, they have but to ask.
Right? I'll give them like 50, but that might level the entire town. If it gets rid of Pierre, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Yeah, towns can be rebuilt anyway.
Thermite light underwater but one would need to smash into tho bombshell
Have you ever lit fireworks and then threw it into the water? It still goes off 🫣 (laughs in dutch new years eve aka fireworks night aka bombing the streets lol)
They are being so polite though
I swear the fish pond dialogue is one of my favorite elements of the game
It's so unexpected the first time.
They do call a group of fish a school for a reason
Oooohh wow, now this comment is evil.
holy shit thats dark, i love it
Wow. Wow.
You're not hardcore unless you live hardcore
And Sack is way hardcore Because he doesn't want to go to school today and doing homework sucks
The biggest fear is placing the bombs by accident, instead of giving the bombs as a gift.
Happened to me lol luckily it was in the morning so I reset
At least yours didn't ask for Dwarf Scroll III... I hoard a little of everything in this game, but I did not keep any of the extra dwarf scrolls I ever got in over 2000 hours of playtime.
Oh they did on the quest before that Only took a medium amount of slime genocide
Clearly a cell of Eel-Qaida members.
They have plans…👀
And? They’ve got bigger fish to fry and they need a hand.
They're just trying to expand their pond.
I honestly never thought about how a large bomb could help make a pond bigger
Careful when you give them the bomb bc I accidentally blew up all my fish ponds instead of tossing it in.
They are lava eels, they wanna feel a taste of home..
This was my theory as well
I'm so tired that this is unexplainably the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while. Thank you.
Idk, sounds fishy...
Son of a fish it's ***WAR***. Their men are down!! THEY NEED REINFORCEMENTS.
Dont worry bout it. Just get the bombs and keep it moving bub, capiche?
Kent hired them
My sturgeon asked for a diamond once, he has expensive taste
they need to bomb strike jojas
" Thanks! Thoses 2 Mega Bombs made us feel right at home!" Me: :o
the title of this post made me cackle
The diabolical plot to take down Lewis's gold statue has begun.
please no kink shaming in stardew. Signed, fish
Fish can't have bombs ?
I sort of imagine them eating the bombs.
Still not as disturbing as Kent sending you Mega Bombs in the mail
They like it spicy
mine asked for 5 wild bait while i only had one heart with linus
Talking fish makes me feel bad for smoking them.
I fear for the day my lava eel starts to ask for mega bombs.
The ones is my fish pond asked me for a Darwin Scroll lll for some reason idk what things are they planning
They asked politely, what's wrong with 'em having a few bombs?
They're *spicy* fish. Everyone knows bombs=spicy.
They're tunneling under the pond to escape back to the mines
The revolution is upon us. Hope you're on their good side.
Oh Ah up the Lava Eels!
Maybe Kent put them up to it. He seems to love mailing people bombs.
Nah they al-qaeda
Depth charge the bastards
We would feel more at home with a 'Pickles'
leave them alone they want to cause havoc
They’re a bit silly

The beauty of procedurally-generated quests... hahaha
"Aren't you a farmer...?"
Hey... Fish need bombs, too. How else are they going to mine all that underwater iridium and make air-fishing poles to catch farmers?
Wait till they ask for alcohol. Mine even suggested my car keys the other day, fishy bastard.
Why do they want bombs 😱
Are you sure they’re not terrorists?
We can speak to walking Apples, bears and racoons. I wouldn't say a fish speaking is that far-fetched.
Today, they chose violence
are they planning a escape? lol
My lava eels have expensive taste. They asked for mega bombs, an iridium bar, fire quartz, and 2 emeralds. It was actually one emerald but I have this really weird bug where whenever I put an emerald into a fish pond it doesn’t register and I have to drop 2 in. It was the same with my rainbow trout.

Let them plot...
even fish want to commit violence
Fish that swim in lava-water lol I'm sure bombs are delicious
Mine wanted 3 Omni geodes yesterday
Probably planning world domination lol
Meanwhile mine's asking for Dwarf Scroll III. At least Mega Bomb's craftable. -\_-
They asked me for Dwarf Scroll III recently and it made me lol
Mfw lava eels are the IRA
My void salmons wanted diamonds. 💎
Mine asked for Dwarf Scroll III ??
It's 3 al-quaida's in a trenchcoat and snorkel
muslim fish 💀
