> "Our new study shows that this supply may only be sufficient to sustain a very small population of microbes weighing a total of only a few kilograms at most – equivalent to the mass of a small dog," Affholder said. "Such a tiny biosphere would average less than one cell per liter of water over Titan's entire vast ocean."

Assuming for a moment that some life does exist in the subsurface ocean, I imagine it would be most likely that you would then expect to find very, very rare, but highly concentrated pockets of life?

Unfortunately I couldn't read the linked study because I was stuck in an endless CAPTCHA loop of trying to find an image of a refrigerator among a varying set of only helicopters, ships, and avocados. I feel absurd just writing that.

The one I got told to me find refrigerators and then never showed me a refrigerator. I clicked "skip" many times and it just kept going until I gave up.

You probably misread it and it said to pick objects that go inside the refrigerator, so you were supposed to pick the avocados.

You don’t put avocados in a refrigerator in many countries of the world. IF you do, they will just go brown without ever becoming ripe.
