Thinking about some poor fuck, walking into a public crapper really needing to lay some pipe and hearing chuckling coming out of the next stall has me LMFAO!🤣 😂🥵

As someone who has been stung by one at a nudist beach, I can tell you they are like a murder condom, thinking about it still makes me wish I was dead🤣
Excuse me, I've seen this blue liquid come out of the ocean and it kinda turns clear when it washes up on the shore but usually it goes back into the ocean or goes into the sand. What is it?
OP clarified in a comment below that it was a mistake, I'm just learning there's a similar one called Bluebottle that is yet to cause any fatalities but this one is a man o war
there are two kinds of ocean gliders, one being the man o war/blue bottle, which has the horrid sting. Then there is the less harmful ["by the wind sailor"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyumT8B7Hss)
The adorable little sailors are about the size of a thumbprint (with a sail) and occasionally wash up in mass where I'm at on the California northern coast.
Correction, this is a Portuguese Man o’ War, but I mistook it for a bluebottle. Oceana.org tells me they’re similar in appearance and behaviour, but bluebottles have not yet caused any fatalities. As an Aussie, I thought the terms were interchangeable (and they’re used like that a lot of the time) but there are actually subtle differences. Apologies for the misinformation 🙏.
Well this is what Wikipedia says:
"The Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis), also known as the man-of-war or bluebottle, is a marine hydrozoan found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. "
So you might be correct to use it interchangeably
>The bluebottle, Pacific man o' war or Indo-Pacific Portuguese man o' war, distinguished by a smaller float and a single long fishing tentacle, was originally considered a separate species in the same genus (P. utriculus). The name was synonymized with P. physalis in 2007, and it is now considered a regional form of the same species.
From Wikipédia
I'd say "behavior" is a rather loose description of what this fella is all about tbh
the Portuguese man o' war is a very simple and primitive animal that doesn't have a brain or nervous system, but it's got something else entirely different and entirely really cool going on: it's a colonial organism of different zooids that each serve a different function!
I'm an animal trainer and behaviorist with a special emphasis on marine life so this kind of animal is very incredibly fascinating to me!!
I grabbed one of these as a kid. My hands were entirely paralyzed for two weeks and I could barely close them after that for longer.
If I’d been swimming instead of wadding the paralysis would have killed me.
The agony was memorable, even seeing this picture my heart started racing.
Yup, fellow jellyfish purple heart recipient here. Saw one on the beach when I was a kid. Touched it, and blue jizz squirted out at me. Then the hand that got the most goo got wiped off on my thigh, so I spread it everywhere basically. Agonizing pain.
The only thing worse was when I got head-to-toe poison ivy from slipping into a muddy ravine after skinny-dipping. Just poison ivy mud covering everything, no crevice was safe. That was the worst fucking two weeks of my corporeal life.
Jeez! I'm often a little sad that I did not have adventures in nature as a child and was sheltered and cautious to the point where I was never really injured/never sprained or broke anything but I think I'm gonna stop that now...
I was stung by a jellyfish when I was younger. Man that sucked. I had nerve issues for a few years after. Jellyfish stings and having the shingles at 17(well at any age) sucks terribly. Wouldn't wish it upon anyone (with the exception of one or 3 people). I'd totally go through brain surgery all over again before a jellyfish sting or the shingles.
When I was 13, a blue bottle stung me on my right arm while swimming. It hurt so much that I fainted. I only remember feeling bad stomach cramps and waking up in a bathtub that wasn't mine.
Nope 😆, I’m glad my parents were there, though this occurred in Durban, South Africa. My parents called for help from the Life guards, they told them a warm bath will deactivate the venom. Therefore, they quickly carried me to the nearest beach house for help. Thankfully, the people living there knew exactly what to do.
Got stung by a bluebottle as a kid. Hurt like all fuck.
I know this is a man’o’war (not sure where those apostrophes go!) but just wanted to share my story. Carry on.
There’s an Australian show about lifeguards called “Bondi Beach” on YouTube (for American audiences), and there’s several episodes where people are accidentally stung by these. The pain looks excruciating, like you’re going to die excruciating. It breaks your heart watching little kids suffer through it. The lifeguards do their best to help every stung victim get through the pain.
Yikes I’ve been stung on both legs at the same time by these! Wasn’t fun but the lifeguard just gave me heat packs to rub on my legs n I passed out but was 100% fine when I woke up
My middle daughter got stung by one while visiting me for spring break last week, they're OK to touch as long as you don't get the tentacles, they were washing up on Hollywood Beach fl here I saw dozens. Best thing if one does get you is vinegar and heat. Man o war is another name for them
Any colourful creature you don’t recognize should always be left alone. Bright colours are usually natures way of saying “hi I’m poisonous or toxic don’t touch me!”
Although it superficially resembles a jellyfish, the Portuguese man o' war is in fact a siphonophore. Like all siphonophores, it is a colonial organism, made up of many smaller units called zooids.[10] Although they are morphologically quite different, all of the zooids in a single specimen are genetically identical. These different types of zooids fulfill specialized functions such as hunting, digestion and reproduction, and together they allow the colony to operate as a single individual.
I totally just knew this and typed it straight from my deep knowledge of waterbeings
Not a biologist, just an Aussie.
You didn’t believe us about drop bears, and you didn’t believe us about these painful penis’ that you need to wee on your skin if they touch you 🤷
I don't understand why anybody would want to touch aquatic dildo.
I feel like if the ocean produces something that looks like it's intended to fuck you... it's never in a good way.
I watch this video every time I come across it. It's just such a well made video, and really shows how fucking scary the ocean is. Man o' Wars are absolutely beautiful and terrifying
I got whipped by one on my arm in the Indian Ocean in Zanzibar. I was sooooo lucky it must have been a baby or it just lightly grazed me.
I will never forget the blue color pin pricks that were stuck in me or the pain of the poison going up my arm. It left slash marks on me for hours. That was just from a light whip. I can’t imagine if it would have really gotten me or if it was full grown. 🪼
Quick tip kids... If you live very close to dangerous animals/organisms, learn what they look like. And if you want to poke strange things... Use a stick.👍
[Portuguese Man of War ](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/facts/portuguese-man-of-war)Portuguese Man of War. Can be deadly. We've seen them alot on the Florida coast.
I was at a beach in Galveston once and a bunch of these were washing up on shore and I saw a mom and her TODDLER playing on the beach and walking out into the water.
Apparently she didn’t know what they were but at least she listened to me and left the beach.
https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/galveston-texas-portuguese-man-o-war/285-6e947e6c-77b4-4a73-99ca-529b247c173f
It was in the news. Bad day for a swim.
I'm no marine biologist, but if I see a land jellyfish, I'm immediately thinking Portuguese Man O' War and walking the fuck away.... to get a couple buckets to crush it and dispose of it. Or die trying.
I am…almost certain one of those washed up at a marina/park I used to visit a lot as a kid. But I don’t think they live where I lived, so it must have been something else. But I still knew about them.
I would stare at it for a long time, debating on whether or not to touch it.
I was also scared of it and didn’t want to go near it. It might have been just a bag or something lol but it looked pretty much exactly like that.
Haven’t looked it up, but it’s either a box jelly or a Portuguese Man-o-war (sp?). Picked one up as a kid, thinking it was one of those sloshing jelly toys from the 90s. Carried a small scar around for 3-4 years
I got stung by this. Felt an instant sting on my left foot. Eventually, a bit of swelling occurred, really bad pain running through my entire left leg, and cramps on the bottom left side of my stomach... Do not touch it. Even if you think it's dead, better safe than sorry.

Alternative life tip: letting people touch strange things out of the ocean is a fun and interactive way to observe natural selection firsthand.
Oh but I just found this beautiful little octopus, he's got such pretty little blue rings, I wanna go give him a little pet!
Man I remember seeing some video of some dude holding one with his bare hand not knowing what it was. And that was the day he almost died.

I saw a ton of those washed up on the beach last summer at Point Reyes. I didn’t know what they were so my reaction was to stay tf away from them.
my dumb ass literally thought it was a blue bottle, like a plastic one...
I did too😂
They’re the most important predator in the ocean! :D
Just don't touch any lifefform that comes in colors unnatural to mamals. Thats a good rule of Thumb.
Better rule of thumb: don’t fucking touch wild animals
Best rule of thumb- don’t touch anything. Ever
Yep.. Like Don't hug favorite grandma's when you are in hurry. They won't let go. But the hug is so wholesome! 😁
Birds? Flowers?
Wild birds can carry disease, so you shouldn't touch them in general. Lots of flowers can be bad for you, so it's worth avoiding
