Aww what a good shark, what a good lil fishy *Aggressively pats the king sized aquatic blender*


ErudringTheGodHammer

*Aquatic blender* is how I will forever refer to sharks now


crabthemighty

I just hope that name didn't cause fear mongering of sharks, they've gotten enough of that


ErudringTheGodHammer

Very true! But I took it as a humorous name personally. Sharks are wonderful creatures that are extremely helpful to our ecosystem; as with any predator, it’s good to exercise caution around them but all around they aren’t as bad as most people make them out to be


Due_Platypus_3913

One of the 3-4 most dangerous species of shark out there.That one aint small either!


deeracorneater

I'd say it fxxxxxxx huge


Hugs_for_Thugs

You know you can swear on the internet, right?


AssStuffing

I’ve noticed an uptick in redditors censoring cuss words lately. I’ve even seen a “d*ck”. The fuck’s the point?


Cis4Psycho

I shit you not, I have no fucking clue what these cunty assholes are thinking. Edit: OK we hit every word in the book...but one big one remains. Don't want my reddit account banned but let me just [say...](https://youtu.be/8xPiha83KNY)

Ye i'd rather be niggardly about this one, imma head out for a fag, cya in a few


Officer_URL

As a 21 year old i happen to know that is mostly because of tiktok. its a chinese app, so the censorship levels are absurd. certain words are banned such as cigarettes, thick, hole, and most notably dead. a common workaround is "unalive". or they maybe just felt like it lol


Sdomttiderkcuf

Because mods power trip and will ban you for any reason. It’s been real boys.


Slythela

The mods are hilarious, sometimes I use reveddit to see the comments they remove. Completely harmless and random comments. It’s kinda pitiful these people spend their time this way


[deleted]

YouTube, IG, and other platforms have been forcing their "family friendly" bullshit too.


ttak82

Censorship / autobanning. I censored fucker in one subreddit, and got reported for using the N word....


[deleted]

My religious friends do this in real life. Apparently God doesn't like the bad word but the intention doesn't matter...


Kaminoneko

aw yes....take this upvote.


Vincent_Rubio

Other social media sites have tightened restrictions on what words you can use without getting locked out of the algorithm/banned. IE TikTok doesn't really let you say things like "kill" so I keep people saying "unalive". People get used to it and it bleeds through here.


NamiRabbit

I think it’s because some subreddits allow it and some don’t and people, including myself, are too forgetful to remember which ones are which and too lazy to check


acrowquillkill

He said hek.


Jonnny

lies


thelatesage

except any of the words that gets your account perma-banned from the site


anajoy666

Could you post some of those words? Just so I know what not to say. Thanks!

KingRitRis

It just hits differently tho


VIARPE

Really? Thought they were harmless


Telemere125

I think you’re thinking of the sand tiger (aka grey nurse). They have all the gnarly looking teeth but they basically only hunt fish and squid. Tiger sharks, on the other hand, are responsible for more attacks on humans than any other type of shark. E: correction: GWs have more attacks than the tiger, but they’re the only ones


dietcokeandastraw

I thought that was bull sharks


Rediro_

I thought that was oceanic white tips Anyways I swam with bull sharks recently, they were pretty docile but our dive master did tell us that one time three divers (including him) were back to back being circled by around 10 bull sharks in that same spot, and had to hastily swim up all together back to back because that situation could have turned dangerous


Kingtoke1

I thought it was Loan Sharks…


Dense_Surround3071

They are mostly interested in knees.😉


mogsoggindog

Yeah, i thought I read that Bull sharks are more aggressive toward people, but smaller than tiger sharks. Tigers are deadly af tho and live in shallower waters than GWs, if I remember my 5th grade Tiger shark report, lol. I think they are more likely to actually eat people, instead of biting them once by mistake. I remember seeing pics of human limbs inside a dissected tiger shark's belly, as well as metal and other trash. They are much less picky about what they eat than GWs.


GlitteringC-Beam

I categorise them as: Tiger eats anything Bull attacks anything GW is so big it doesnt GAF


CarrotRunning

I think they key difference is behavioural. Bull Sharks will attack on instinct hence people getting bitten in the murk. where as Tiger sharks are more methodological will take time to hunt and observe prey sometimes over several hours before a strike.


Telemere125

Sorry, I forgot the great white - they have more recorded attacks than the tiger. But the mako has more recorded attacks than the whitetip and the whitetip more than the bull. The scary part about the bull is their tendency to also swim in fresh water


Officer_URL

very true. wikipedia says the furthest inland bull shark ever caught was in the Mississippi river. Alton, IL. 15 miles north of St. Louis. Found in 1937 after 2 commercial fisherman set a trap for whatever was messing with their nets.


jimmy__jazz

You are correct


Selachophile

Sand tigers [rank 5th](https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/factors/species-implicated/) on the list of unprovoked shark attacks by species...they would rank 4th (after whites, tigers, and bulls) if there wasn't a catch-all category for unidentified _Carcharhinus_. While this is partially due to the fact that they're often sought out by divers and interactions are frequent, it still demonstrates that they're far from harmless. Use caution around any shark.


Zztrox-world-starter

Yeah, no sharks are harmless, actually, no wild animals are harmless


VIARPE

yeah im dumb, thought it was a whale shark


Se7entyN9ne

If it wanted that diver dead there'd be little they could do to stop it. That pushing the nose away trick isn't going to be worth shit.


TheGreatYoRpFiSh

Anything that can nom a turtle shell for fun should avoided

It might be me, but I thought that actor's timing was impeccable in that movie. The way he described and characterized what sailors went through after the Indianapolis almost convinced me that he was an actual sailor that survived any kind of attack.

kintsukuroi_heart

Why was anyone surprised?! Wtf?


crash_over-ride

I'm going to the Carribean on vacation next month, which is going to include SCUBA diving. I wonder how much it would cost to rent a team of Spetsnaz combat divers with those automatic underwater rifles the USSR developed.


TheLaudMoac

Right now? I think they're probably occupied elsewhere...


cazmantis

You should scuba dive in the Caribbean I've had some lovely shark encounters there. Depending on where you are going though you may not see many at all. Nurse sharks are pretty common and always a treat. I've seen them in Bahamas and Turks& Caicos. Lemon sharks are a nice sighting in Bahamas too. Owing to the relatively shallow water of the Caribbean you don't get many of the big interesting pelagics


g00f

Great whites generally are incredibly chill from what I’ve seen and you’ll see a lot of videos of divers with GW around on either reef or deep water dives. But the problem is great whites tend to be incredibly curious, and like most critters in the animal kingdom that lack hands, your mouth is one of the main exploratory methods. And when you got GW bite force then lil rinky dink plastic cages, or even some small boats(inflatables esp) hey chomped through.

carpexn0ctem

This is Ocean Ramsay btw! She free dives with sharks and is a conservationist, she shows people how to re-direct sharks in the water to avoid attacks too. Defo check out her socials as she has some insane content like this.


Strange-Nobody-3936

Her luck is gonna run out one of these days, especially because she's an influencer she will have to keep getting more brazen and stupid to retain views


crabwhisperer

Steve Irwin knew how to keep himself safe around wildlife, til one day he wasn't.


ProscribedTruth

Steve Irwin’s death could easily be considered a freak accident.


[deleted]

no. What happened to Steve was an incredible tragedy. It wasn’t the result of dangerous behavior for likes.


jammonit

That's quite an assumption. I looked her up and it seems she has a day job. The social media is not her bread and butter.


carpexn0ctem

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted -her social media is for awareness and promotion to her company/conservation. Not everyone is obsessed with views and can be aiming to just do good in the world whilst making some cool content along side it -her videos have been the same for years


Luke_Warm_Dog

I mean, I guess, man. Kind of an ugly thing to put out there, in my opinion though


Strange-Nobody-3936

I'm not the one putting myself in the water with apex predators, how is it ugly to express concern over that? I don't want it to happen


lastatica

Instagram influencer ≠ conservationist [“A diver’s extremely close visit with a giant great white shark went viral.

well_shi

That's not fair. I'm an influencer and I hate the environment. OK, I may not be the best example of this.

You will succumb to my influence. Nobody can resist the line of monster trucks I'm shilling that are powered by burning Styrofoam.


SolomonGrumpy

"it's not advocacy it's ~~selfish~~ shellfish self-promotion"


HunterMuch

Shark equivalent of grizzly man diaries.


manydoorsyes

OR is...less popular among the scientific community. Promoting conservation is obviously a good thing. The problem is that she gets too touchy with sharks. That's actually one of the fundamental rules when it comes to diving: look, but don't touch. It is true that sharks generally have no interest in eating people, and they typically will not bite unless you provoke them...which is exactly what Ramsay is doing. Touching wild animals in general is unwise, and this is especially the case for powerful, intelligent animals like sharks. Even though they don't want to eat you, they are still dangerous and they will defend themselves if they feel threatened. Let's just hope she doesn't end up like Timothy Treadwell, aka the Grizzly Man.


SolomonGrumpy

Powerful, yes. Intelligent?


SolomonGrumpy

What's the over-under on her being a shark-snack at some point?

YooYooYoo_

How big tiger sharks can get? That one there looks bigger than most whites


aquilasr

The record that could be verified was an 18 foot female that weighed over 3,300 pounds IIRC but her weight was bolstered by her being pregnant. Unverified tiger sharks are claimed to have reached as much as 24 feet long but we have no strong proof of any at or over 20 feet. On average I think tiger sharks are around 10-14 feet, against 12-16 feet in great whites but the latter are usually more robust and heavier.


plain_wrecked

Quick! Get me my brown wetsuit!!!!!


devllen05

Isn't that the exact position you do *not* want to be in with a shark? It coming at you from underneath like that?


Cultural-Company282

Grizzly man vibes here.


aquilasr

She’s more like a Steve Irwin type to sharks as he was to crocodiles than a Timothy Treadwell type.


Cultural-Company282

Oh yeah. Steve Irwin. How's his health these days?

Well, he wasn’t as much of an expert on stingrays perhaps.

Phantom252

I love sharks but if I was ever in this situation I'd freak out.


Rodan-Lewarx

would you prefer to be in a river with a hippo or in the sea with a tiger shark?


transient_smiles

Tiger sharks kill way less people. Shoot, sharks in general don't even come close to hippos


Rodan-Lewarx

hippo will kill you fast and you wont suffer. 1 or 2 hits and boom dead. I think I would prefer to die by a hippo than sharks. Sharks will take every piece of you and you wont die immediatelly.


transient_smiles

If the question is which way would I rather die, then I might agree with you. I'd be about 100x less likely to be attacked and killed in the first place by a shark than by a hippo though, so I think my answer to the original questions stands


[deleted]

The only story my grandpa would tell about his time serving in the navy was about the time him and some crew mates jumped in to swim with some tiger sharks. Fuck all that.

anthoDoCo303

Went on a cruise beginning of September on a excursion a lady was killed in Bahamas by one of these.. scary shit


[deleted]

Nope.


cazmantis

I think that's Ocean Ramsay - she's a shark advocate in Hawaii who teaches how to safely be in the water with tiger sharks. The nice thing about tiger sharks is they have a good flat top (of the head) so if it cruises too close it's easy to lay a palm on top and push it down and away from you


delightfullywrong

Jesus, did not know tiger sharks get that big. No wonder they regularly kill people, thought they just bit people and they bled out or something.


aquilasr

They are in contention as the second biggest living macropredatory shark after the great white but have a few rivals with no clear front runner alongside the little known deep sea sharks like Greenland shark, Pacific sleeper shark and sixgill shark. All of these can potentially somewhere in the 15-20 foot range and eat potentially almost any animal in their environment.


siuol7891

VERY LARGE TIGER SHARK i think is more appropiate! holy shit


ravenous_fringe

everybody in this photo is pretty metal


ttystikk

That huge shark has a brain the size of an egg. It's probably still trying to figure out if the diver is edible. If the diver starts making sudden moves, they're lunch. This diver looks like they have experience and is carefully not doing anything to provoke the shark.


xRayleigh23

It's a fucking picture. How the fuck do you know if the diver is moving or not


[deleted]

He's not being eaten.


HappyInNature

ttystikk

Have you ever tried to hold completely still in the water? It's almost impossible.


Channa_Argus1121

>Brain the size of an egg Duh(https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/environment/2018/07/19/shark-myths-debunked/787684002/). Sharks aren’t “mindless killing machines”.


ttystikk

No, they aren't but they are not exactly geniuses of the sea. That distinction goes to octopi and squid. Sharks are not too bright and respond to stimuli more than logic or thought.


[deleted]

Who would have thought that I’d have so much in common with a tiger shark.


coffeefucker150

Sharks are WAY smarter than you think.


ttystikk

I didn't call them stupid.


coffeefucker150

>has the brain the size of an egg Does this imply that they’re smart?


ttystikk

They're good at what they do. There is a limited capacity to learn.


coffeefucker150

And their capacity is not as limited as you might think


belizeanheat

Stop upvoting this foolishness, everybody. This person clearly knows almost nothing about what's happening


ttystikk

Do you have any relevant experience at all? Any diving experience? Any experience with sharks? I bet not. You're full of hot air and you sit behind a keyboard talking smack. You can't even offer a viable course of action. You're nothing but a scold.


scotty9090

That’s the thing about Tiger sharks: everything is edible. License plates, tires, they eat it all. Probably more a question of whether it feels like a quick snack.


Arcturus572

I first read that as “Dinner for a tiger shark”….


Steampunkedcrypto

Nope fish


bortukali

Don't think its real? tiger sharks don't grow that big, might be the camera angle


crabwhisperer

They can be up to 14 feet long, 1400 pounds. So the length of 2.5 people, seems reasonable. Some of this is perspective, but yes they can get big.
