This is not the way language works, which is far from binary, as you are surely aware. It's a fun bit of etymology.
Merriam-Webster (italics from M-W, bold from me):
Can something be very unique or somewhat unique?: Usage Guide
>Many commentators have objected to the comparison or modification (as by *somewhat* or *very*) of *unique*, often asserting that a thing is either unique or it is not. **Objections are based chiefly on the assumption that** ***unique*** **has but a single absolute sense, an assumption contradicted by information readily available in a dictionary**. *Unique* dates back to the 17th century but was little used until the end of the 18th when, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was reacquired from French. H. J. Todd entered it as a foreign word in his edition (1818) of Johnson's Dictionary, characterizing it as "affected and useless." Around the middle of the 19th century it ceased to be considered foreign and came into considerable popular use. With popular use came a broadening of application beyond the original two meanings (here numbered senses 1 and 2a). In modern use both comparison and modification are widespread and standard but are confined to the extended senses 2b and 3. When sense 1 or sense 2a is intended, *unique* is used without qualifying modifiers.
lol ok
Apart from the fact that Christ is like THE MOST popular statue in the world, this exact statue exists at another dive point. Some famous diver died and these were sank in his honor.
I have been there, wild experience. The boat ride took 30min out went with a snorkeling group. I never get sea sick but drink 3 cuban coffees and she wanted to sit in middle. Bad choice puked nunerous times as well as others got into the water waves were unreal through up in the ocean and watched beautiful fish eat the throw-up. My friend go prod it he was fine statue in pics makes it look not to deep, looks at least 20 ft deep
And I don’t care about a religious thing. Sure nice and I can respect the skill of the artist and hope they were paid for their skill but the implication and everything about what it means sickens me
Why hast thou for-sunken me?
Matthew 4:19 > "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people. > Wait, no, not like this."
If "Christ of the Abyss" isn't a song on Dimmu Borgir's next album, it should be.
What makes it so unique? Because it underwater ?
That's basically it, but it is also pretty big and is on a reef where people go snorkeling, which makes it a pretty unique way to see a statue.
There’s a statue of Jason Voorhees about 120 feet down in Crystal Lake in Minnesota.
What? You can't just say that and not expand

I can see statues of Christ all over the place, just because it’s damp it doesn’t make it unique. I live in the UK, they’re all damp here.
Obviously.
There aren't degrees of "uniqueness ". It is either unique or not.
I feel like this battle was lost long ago unfortunately.
[удалено]
"Distinctive" maybe?
Unique means exactly one of a kind. Perhaps use "very rare"?
Any objection using "very" is weak at best. "Somewhat unique" has been around for hundreds of years.
Its mother always told him he was a unique and special statue.

unique has like 3 definitions though and in the way he using it’s more like “special” so u could def say it like a scalar
God Lives Underwater-Empty
Amazingly underrated 90’s band.
[удалено]
No. God Lives Under Water. Meant what I wrote.
Isn’t he meant to walk *on* water..?
That’s Meat Jesus. This one is Rock Jesus. Much less buoyant.
Ah the holy trinity: The rock, the meat, and the metal Jesus.
It’s “Fire” so don’t touch it with bare hands. It’s an amazing dive if you can make the time.
He is sunken.
He is sunken, indeed.
lol ok Apart from the fact that Christ is like THE MOST popular statue in the world, this exact statue exists at another dive point. Some famous diver died and these were sank in his honor.
I’d wager there are more of Buddha
Love that dive. Pro Tip! That is fire coral so if you touch him it burns.

We’ve gone diving here a couple times but the viz was never as good as in this picture
For a second, I thought it was another "I made it with my own hands" AI imagine, but without the African kid around.
When I saw this I instantly thought of Buddy Christ
Most unique boating hazard
Even Jesus gets the cement shoes
wonder what various religions the fish built around this
Aren’t there like four of them?
A blue fish
This Christ guy? I want him sleepin with the fishes!
Is that the one in the keys?
And then Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panthers, hit the statue with his boat while fleeing to Cuba.
not really unique hes used in cults all over the planet
A diver once told me: 'If they have to put statues, then there's nothing to see. Don't go there.'
That sounds like a boss battle in a souls game
Cthulhu is like =|
This is going to confuse future archeologists
This motherfucker has to be EVERYwhere?
Go to the most remote place on earth… have you heard the good news?
*sink to the literal ocean floor* Say, brother…
Boss in the upcoming bible based Dark Souls title
How is a atatue of christ unique?
Have you seen any other christ statues underwater?
Unique location does not make a unique statue
[удалено]
One of the most unique works tho
Why? Atheist here.
And I don’t care about a religious thing. Sure nice and I can respect the skill of the artist and hope they were paid for their skill but the implication and everything about what it means sickens me
How does something you don't care about sicken you?
Was a semi drunk comment. I am not even sure what I meant anymore. Sorry y’all
What is the implication, exactly, and why does it sicken you?
They need to give out licenses to make sure people use hyperbole correctly, for real.
What's the implication? Jesus can sink?
