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.
Mine was wilderness survival, which I think would still be a thing if cell phones weren’t as advanced as they are with GPS navigation, emergency dialing and location.
I know it still happens and is still a very needed skill specially for those who live out in low populated areas, but I genuinely thought that being lost or stranded in the woods was a super common thing. Like needing to start a fire, finding water and hunting to catch food was definitely an experience I would one day have to go through even though I grew up in a large city and didn’t have a reason to go off the grid often aside from occasional shore fishing.
They’re almost certainly starved. Piranha’s don’t normally swarm like this
But that’s what the cartoons showed.
Shit I forgot about the cartoon… how do I delete my erroneous comment
Piranhas* don’t normally
A grammar Nazi in 2024? I’m surprised. Yep, autocorrect added an apostrophe, good catch. I’m not changing it.
Ok, so why would anyone want to catch a piranha? Are they tasty or something?
Fish are food, not friends
No Bruce, for the last time
They look like they are 90% gristle and hatred.
The Ann Coulter of fishes.
Wikipedia claims they’re quite popular.
So you end up with chowder pretty much.
Damn, and I thought I was smart for making stock from bones
There’s a few videos online of piranhas absolutely stripping animal carcases. Shits gnarly.
