Blue ringed octopus is extremely venomous and their beak is so sharp you might not even feel it when it bites
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Only good thing is that the venom doesn’t have lasting effects if you get artificial respiration in time.
They put you on a ventilator until it wears off, and then you’re fine.

But how bitey is it? Why would it even want to bite? What if I’m very very gentle?

It’s a blue-ringed octopus, which has one of the most potent poisons known. The person handling it could easily die.

0_0 but also it’s cutes

They have one of the most potent venoms in the animal kingdom and people apparently often don’t even feel the bite. It’s also assumed by some scientists that venomous animals with this warning pattern is the reason some people have trypophobia
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
maybe also wasp nests
justabaldguy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Is that true about trypophobia? Man that would be wild and so cool if so. I’ll need to go read about this…

I haven’t played Scrabble in forever but won’t that cost 3 precious 'e’s?
last time I played it was pre-high school but I recall my strategy was to be greedy with vowels
I don’t think I won though

I once had a hand that was 5 E’s and 2 H’s. On the second round. Not fun

If it’s “envenomate” it would be good for Spelling Bee

That might’ve still been a better choice of game than scabble

Is this a real pic or wtf?

Yeah, this is an old one. IIRC, the lady holding it didn’t know it was dangerous, just thought it was adorable, then when she posted it and ppl told her, she explained she had a meltdown at how wildly dangerous that situation was and she had no idea

I probably would too in that situation, followed by immense relief that I survived it lol

That’s why education isn’t just some nice-to-have luxury. Moments like these should make people go “wait, maybe it’s a shitty idea that conservatives like the Trump regime oppose proper, widely available and cheap education for everyone”.
I sometimes wonder how many lives would not have been lost if those people had known “sea magically disappear from beach mean big wave coming” when that Indian ocean tsunami happened.

If I recall the story correctly, the dude holding it knew what he was doing and did multiple times. Also he was terminal ill so he really didn’t care if things went wrong.
So I guess who knows even more may be relieved if in favour of consensual euthanasia 🤷♂️
OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
This comment section has both this story and another story sqying it was a woman who had no idea and posted it online.
Which one is it!?

If there’s going to be a background story, why not make it multiple choice?
BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Terminally ill people playing with venomous animals is definitely a choice.

It’s the “You can’t fire me, I quit!” mentality taken to a bitter extreme. All for the slightest sense of control over a hopeless situation.

Many life insurance policies pay out for accidents but not suicide. Looks like our friend here is just trying to have an accident.
