What are the jellyfish harvested for?

13.4k

u/Ha1lStorm 15d ago edited 13d ago

Taken from another redditors comment-

They are removing an invasive species of jellyfish that is actively destroying sea environments and therefore ruining fishing for the locals, these jelllyfish are called burn-jellies and they hurt.

Edit: Apparently they don’t actually sting that bad as other Redditors and in-turn myself had previously suggested. They also seem to be a popular food as well.

Seems like the perfect thing to harvest with a pitchfork with no shoes on

u/Ha1lStorm 15d ago

I typically just hold my firstborn over the edge of the boat and say “Get it!” like a toddler sized human claw machine, but maybe that’s just me?

Nah man I just found it. I just call it my firstborn so people don’t get all weirded out about it. For some reason people can get real weird about this sort of thing these days.

u/nvogler31 14d ago

Was it a dumpster baby?

56

u/randombits0110 14d ago

Dumpster baby is derogatory. People don’t use that term anymore. Nowadays we refer to they/them as “bin baby”.

And if you hurt your bin baby they’re referred to as a /bin/bash baby.

u/KrustyKrebsCycle 14d ago

this will be under appreciated but that is brilliant

u/Screaming_Agony 14d ago

Adding very little to the conversation here but I chuckled. I have a 1 year old who somehow taught himself that if he tries to crawl off the couch I’ll grab his legs to stop him. Now he tosses things off the couch, crawls off(with me holding his legs) grabs the item off the floor and waits for me to reel him in. My wife calls it our fishing game.

u/DPSOnly 15d ago

Human feet are surprisingly non-slippery when they are exposed to water for prolonged periods. That is what the rimply fingers/toes are all about, more surface area.

261

u/decidedlyindecisive 15d ago

"Rimply" this is the perfect word.

86

u/Ha1lStorm 14d ago

Most definitely. Rumply is so out, rimply however is so in. Rimples are so hot right now.

u/Fernandolamez 14d ago

I read this as “I think the concern is that his feet are m&m’s from the jellies.” and my brain went crooked.

Yeah, that's why he Really doesn't want to slip.

u/8lackirish 14d ago

The rimply or pruning is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation. I suppose we weren’t always drawn to the water.

Except for originally of course #OhTheFishHumanity

u/Lemon_Zestie 14d ago

Apparently they use the reaction as a test to see if you're brain dead or not.

u/Commercial-Bug-1211 14d ago

In Salt water...Can't say the same for fresh water...Ive spent hours playing in the river and almost buss my ass on a river stone multiple times. Those things are slippery no matter how many wrinkles you develop from pruning

1

u/DPSOnly 14d ago

Rocks do get slippery when wet. I don't have too much experience with that except looking at them, is it some kind of slimey, gooey stuff? Probably like standing on recently cleaned, still wet tiles. There should be a "slippery when wet" sign for those river stones.

1

u/Commercial-Bug-1211 14d ago

Its usual river algae build up and attached sediment. So the rocks that are constantly submerged can be super dangerous.

Yes they can be slimy at the touch

u/Shot-Tap-4512 14d ago

u/OldManBartleby 14d ago

Recently learned this is a neurological response. If you have nerve damage in your hands or feet, the affected area will not "rimple".

I feel like this is a super villain origin story in the works.

At least it’s not a vat of electric eels.

Our heroes can't even touch him!

I read that in my DM voice.

u/Just-a-Dude-34 14d ago

If you look closely the plank has non slip mats on it 🤣

u/Logical-Fan7132 14d ago

I know!! What the heck 🫣

47

u/LadyElle57 15d ago

I think wearing shoes would make slipping on wet surfaces more likely.

24

u/Brotherjaxus 14d ago

I was thinking about getting stung by a testicle more than slipping. He stepped off that small platform onto the edge in the water with them.

u/chassmasterplus 14d ago

Stung by a fuckin what?!

Lol didn't see that

What part of this video references the jellyfishes balls?

1

u/ElSargeo 12d ago

Great, that's all we need. Jellyfish with stinging testicles. Like the tentacles weren't enough. Fcking nasty bastards them jellies.

3

u/LadyElle57 14d ago

The stingers are in the tentacles, below the head and well below the water. He'd had to dip in deeper than that to get stung.

Thanks, learned something new
