Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.
Piranhas are one of those things I thought I’d need to worry about when I was young.ike quick sand and properly identifying if something is good or fool’s gold.
Don’t forget how to put yourself out if you spontaneously combust, and acid rain.
Also black holes or the Bermuda triangle.
acid rain was legit, then the world’s governments actually did something about it and it became not a thing. Much like the hole in the o-zone (at least until Elon’s vanity satellites start failing at a high enough rate to decimate the o-zone) and how we could mitigate climate change if there was political will
The solution to acid rain actually made climate change worse. Well, not directly, just that it turns out that the sulphurs in the atmosphere that caused acid rain were also cooling the planet. With that gone, heat went up quite significantly, and research is being done now to see if we can put that back again much higher and in a more controlled way to regulate temperatures down a bit. We could add additions to airplane fuel, for example, that will disperse it throughout the atmosphere
To your last sentence wouldn’t that get in the way of contrail production though?
Ok Now you have a bucket of piranhas. ?
Classic Wednesday move.
Piranhas have dozens of uses. Food, bait, aesthetics/decor, pranks, weapons of surprise, scissors, evil lairs…
Surprise scissors are my favorite kind of scissors
Forbidden scissors
Then you will love the German fairy tales collection of Struwwelpeter especially the thumb-sucker Konrad.
Here is an English translation of the whole book, although parts of the original humor got lost:
- That dude running with scissors has remarkable dexterity and aim to be able to quickly target thumbs, specifically. Its impressive.
- Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?
- That dude running with scissors has remarkable dexterity and aim to be able to quickly target thumbs, specifically. Its impressive.
It’s even more impressive as this seems to be his side-job or even hobby.
This man is a professional tailor, but in his leisure time he storms like a SWAT team into family homes and his holy mission is to eradicate thumb-sucking everywhere.
In my opinion the huge scissor means, that there are not only little thumb-suckers out there, but also proportional bigger ones and the tailor wants to be prepared for every one of them equally.
So he aquired a special kind of skills in his career, handling the huge scissor.
- Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?
Would you ask questions as a kid if your parents are ok with invasion of privacy and involuntary amputation by some stranger and framing it normal?
Maybe I’d be afraid of the implication, but I’m pretty sure I’d be skeptical if all of my peers and everyone older than me all had 2 thumbs
Then it’s the implication AND peer-pressure to have two thumbs. It’s so diabolical perfect.
SUPPLIES!
They’re almost certainly starved. Piranha’s don’t normally swarm like this
What about barefoot! Those Brazilians are crazy lol
As long as you’re not bleeding or anything, you could safely jump in the water and swim with them!
you could safely jump in the water and swim with them!
But I can’t swim
Ok, so why would anyone want to catch a piranha? Are they tasty or something?
Wikipedia claims they’re quite popular.
Reading more, everything I see describes them as bony, salty and very fishy tasting, best served smoked or grilled to mask the flavor.
Sounds like we’re not missing much.
Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be
Except they’re using protein to catch the protein.
Think I would rather eat 20lbs of piranhas than 5lbs of rotting leg bone
You can get protein from lettuce and apples lol
That’s a novel way to spell lentils
No you can’t lol
Yes, you can. Lettuce has around 2 gramm per 100. Apples 0.3
As comparison beef has 26.
So while lettuce has much less, saying you can’t get proteins from it is just plain wrong.
There are different kinds of proteins build from different amino acids, 9 of 20 amino acids are essential, meaning our bodies can not produce them, so we need to eat them. Meat contains all the amino acids we need in our bodies in the amount we need in our bodies. For vegetables that’s not necessarily the case.
Because of that vegetable protein needs to be very varied and balanced to be a complete diet, and just lettuce and apples is not enough.
In a first world country we can get these vegetable proteins varied and year round with little to no problem, which makes vegan diet a sustainable and morally superior diet.
In the developing world people are generally happy about being able to have a complete diet, moral questions take a backseat to survival and health, so carnivorous or piscivorous diets are far more common.
Pretty sure everyone else understood the meaning behind the sentence ‘you can get protein from lettuce and apples’. You need a certain amount of daily protein intake for a healthy diet and the comment implied you can get those from lettuce and apples. It is technically kinda true if you take it literally, but eating 5kg of lettuce is not practical.
Both lettuce and apples are incomplete sources of protein and could not sustain a healthy diet.
Fish is a complete source of protein.
Sounds like why I dislike most fish to begin with.
It’s that fishy taste that does it to me
Just cant pretend to like it at all
That’s interesting, I really like the fishy taste. If it’s overpowering it can be unpleasant, but in reasonably amounts it’s tasty.
Do you also lick buttholes?
In reasonable amounts, yes
They look like they are 90% gristle and hatred.
The Ann Coulter of fishes.
I can’t tell from the video if the water is just muddy or if it’s actually, y’know, gross. Is it safe to eat the fish from that river?
Also, I’d always heard they didn’t do that unless they were starving. Which makes me think not much is surviving in that water, making me think it might not be safe to eat the fish :/
Though, I imagine if you’re desperate for protein, such things are secondary concerns at best
Brazilian here. Perfectly safe (color-wise; of course it can be polluted as hell despite its color, just like any other river).
Our ground/mud has a different color. Some areas on the south even have a red soil (very fertile, but makes everything about ground level look dirty very quickly): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_soil
There’s great variety of water colors even in the same area, just search for images “meeting of the waters Manaus”:
Wait until you find out how they catch catfish
Don’t they usually set up a sting and invite them out on a “date” where they’re then confronted about their lies and posted to Youtube?
Then Chris Hanson steps out of the shadows.
Then, a bunch of reaction videos and clips of said video are posted after the livestreamer is done reacting , not adding anything to the video to rake in views and ad revenue
How do they catch catfish?
Two main methods, the first is with a fishing pile like normal. The second is to get down into the water and feel up under the bank. If you wiggle your fingers a catfish will latch on, and you can just pull it out by hooking your fingers into the gills.
