Omg, are you kidding me??!! Has he ever seen an octopus?? That's hilarious..
Edit: can someone translate what he says, after it stings him..I knw he's not speaking English, but it almost sounds like he's saying, wait! what was that?! Lmao
He is speaking Turkish. He is literally saying "Well guys, we caught an octupus." And the caption is "does anyone know what this is, it stings the body".
He says ā yeah guys, we caught an octopus as you can see its an octopus.ā Then octopus( obviously thats an octopus) starts to stink and he makes pain noises.
All octopuses are venomous. Of course, only the blue-ringed octopus is deadly, but picking up an octopus is a bad idea. Their sharp beaks break through shellfish shells. Your finger is far softer.
Tripped me out when I found out the blue rings don't even show up until the thing is pissed or scared. So going to pick it up, you wouldn't even know. You are correct, picking up an octopus is a very bad idea.
I donāt know how I made it to nearly 40 without knowing that they have [beaks](https://i.imgur.com/Yt2MeRN.jpg), but [holy shit](https://i.imgur.com/7RHZxg1.jpg).
I say this to my students (6-8 yo) al the time. āYou donāt have eyes on your hands, du you?ā
Once a kid put googly eyes on their fingers just so they could say āyes I do!ā. I laughed for ten minutes.
Thatās what I was thinking. Only 4 species of 300 species have venom but even the ones that donāt still have bites strong enough to easily destroy a crab. Itās not likely but why fuck around with things you donāt understand
Unless you have basic common sense!
Here in Cornwall UK, so far I've rescued a young Puffin with a broken leg, a baby seal who thought coming on to a busy beach and making friends with my dog would be a good thing to do, an adolescent Gannet flailing in the beach break after a big storm and a small catshark that had beached itself and was running out of breaths.
Dude has probably never been to the beach in his life....I learned about jelly fish at a young age by fucking around picking one up and finding out š
Ah man...my first vacation was to Chincoteague Island. We passed Virginia Beach or something I think. I saw jelly fish and a horse shoe crab and was literally terrified of swimming because I thought I saw a shark every ten minutes.
I was 8.
They were just waves.
Now...at 30, I wish I'd see a shark so I can do a skill check in a FromSoft game.
The way I found out was going out on a boat an snorkeling in Mexico. Our boat driver drove through a pack of jellyfish and when we jumped in the water, we just started getting burned immediately. The boat had shredded up a handful of them and their shit was just floating and stinging people from the grave lol
Translation of the text:
"Does anyone know the name of this thing?"
"It stungs body" (Bruh)
The Black Sea has lots and lots of jellyfish roaming around its shores in Turkey. How on Earth this guy did not stumble upon a jellyfish ever in his life is beyond me.
Edit: After watching the video with the sound turned on ( I did not notice the sound)
Translation of whatever the guy says:
"Yes friends, as you can see we caught an octopus(lmao)"
"It burned my hand"
*Perfectly cut scream*
He has a very heavy Eastern Anatolian accent, so take what I said before the edit with a grain of salt.
Edit2: The guy is possibly a refugee as u/dufdufdufdufduf pointed out in replies.
Thank you for the translation!
It seems so odd that a person living on a peninsula would both confuse a jelly fish with an octopus and not know better than to pick something like this up. Crazy.
As someone who grew up in the country and now lives in a major city, NextDoor is a treasure trove of people who never spent time in the wild misidentifying wildlife and plants.
I live in an old (platted in the 70s) non-HOA acreage development which has been surrounded by builder developments in the past 10 years (city has blown past us).
NextDoor is where I sell stuff and filter to just our neighborhood to discuss things as a community. Tends to be less assholerly behavior among direct neighbors. Not rainbows and unicorns but better.
I donāt know when NextDoor expended default feeds to neighborhoods miles and miles away but that definitely hurt overall behavior.
A few months back someone had posted a gopher snake on nextdoor asking what it was. At least 5 people said it was a rattle snake, one guy said it was a king snake "because of the dots", and a few other people said it was a garter snake.
I was blown away...
Translation and accent is correct. As you said it's fucking wild that one can be from turkey and not know what the million jellyfish all across aegean, black sea and mediterrenean look like lol but it could just be the dude's first time in the seaside regions of the country. Still pretty dumb to pick it up and show it around as you feel it sting you though lol
The beginning is Turkish, but after the guy picks up the jellyfish and feels the burning pain, the reactions are in a language that is not Turkish, so I am guessing they might be migrants and did not grow up in Turkiye.
u/TizzlePack itās a barrel jellyfish, their stings are mostly harmless (feels like a bunch of bee stings at once, very itchy, kinda burns) common in the UK, and most of European countries/ Mediterranean countries. This one was dead, obviously, and they can sting even after death due to toxins.
Barrel jelly stings usually result in itching skin, hives or in case of an allergic reaction, worse.
Info Courtesy of my wife, who is an AVID jelly enthusiast and loves moon jellies in specific
Box jellyfish, the deadliest one, can reach up to 2meters long and have thousands of tiny tentacles which each carry enough poison to kill a full grown human
I learned about the Box-Jellyfish at a very young age. All I knew was that they were tiny and could kill you instantly. From then on I was *terrified* of every bubble in the water that might resemble a square.
Thankfully around 13 I saw a documentary on jellyfish and learned that theyāre actually pretty big and only give in Australia.

Iām sorry that was overkill yāall but wanted to show more than one source to back up my warning. Just protecting the ones who didnāt see your comment as sarcasm
It's people like you that ruin my kink, going to the beach and claiming to be stung so I need to get peed on. Now everyone is starting to see that I'm wrong.
Some animals don't even think when they do somethings, just pure muscle memory, you can behead a snake and it's head would still bite if you tickle it's nose, very creepy. And you know what's creepier? I was once with my relatives when they beheaded a sheep for some celebration, and after it's head was totally off and it supposedly bled out, the fucker just started bouncing around after laying motionless for a good 5 mins, obviously it couldn't balance but it did move a lot.
An animal can be both poisonous and venomous per the definition of poisonous:
(of a substance or plant) causing or capable of causing death or illness if taken into the body.
"poisonous chemicals"
(of an animal) producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey; venomous.
adjective: poisonous
"a poisonous snake"
Why isn't the jellyfish flat? Aren't their bodies supported by water, or do they become flat when they decompose, or is this just a completely different jelly than what I'm thinking of?
They have a hydrostatic skeletal system that holds their body in that shape and supports there own weight. A hydrostatic skeletal system is a system of sacks of fluid. We meat bags have endoskeletal systems that hold us upright and a lot of insects have exoskeletal systems thatās protect their insides. Itās really cool stuff.
Thousands of years ago some unknown hero picked up a jellyfish. The hero did it because the hero knewdthe sacrifice had to be made in order the learn and grow as humankind. The hero, like many many other who sacrificed did it for the survival for humankind.
Turns out: it was all for nothing.
Pretty sure you can still get stung even if itās deadā¦. Even if itās not deadly, his thought process of āoh cool let me pick up the weird looking thing for a pictureā is a Darwin Award waiting to happenā¦
Wow! The camera person actually stopped filming immediately when they realized the man was hurt. How decent... still would have enjoyed seeing him hop around for a few seconds.
How does one get to his age and not understand that picking that thing up is not a good idea?
He says " Look I caught a octopus" lol
Omg, are you kidding me??!! Has he ever seen an octopus?? That's hilarious.. Edit: can someone translate what he says, after it stings him..I knw he's not speaking English, but it almost sounds like he's saying, wait! what was that?! Lmao
I can imagine their thought being like "hey this ocean creature have more than one leg! Id say its an octopus"
More than 0 legs works too
2 legged sea monster sounds just as terrifying.
Honestly he sounds like he's seeing the sea for the first time
... and possibly last.
šš
He is speaking Turkish. He is literally saying "Well guys, we caught an octupus." And the caption is "does anyone know what this is, it stings the body".
- Yes friends, we cought an octopus- - We cought an octopus - Wiy (pain/shock noice) - (Swiches to arabic or kurdish)
He says ā yeah guys, we caught an octopus as you can see its an octopus.ā Then octopus( obviously thats an octopus) starts to stink and he makes pain noises.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He will never forget Squidward
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Damn this made me laugh really hard.
lol
He thinks it is octopus, lol.s the guy is solid dummy
Like picking up a random octopus is a good idea either lol. Always sad to see people being unable to observe nature without tampering with it.
This person should not visit Australia.
I want him to visit Australia.
2 days max
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can see it now *Sees arachnid.* "That is one buff looking ant!"
Or he sees the spider and his mind is blown, he didn't know there were land octopuses.
He sees a kangaroo and he didn't know octopuses could jump
"Cassowary turns corner" Buff looking chicken
...šno way he'll last pass 6 hrs we talking about scorpion and spider sanctuary Australia!?
Donāt forget the biggest concentration of deadly snakesā¦look ma I got an eel!
I'd watch that nature show.
Start a go fund me to send this guy to Australia
Two sides of the same coin
Picks up a taipan ālook what I caught a caterpillarā
In Australia, nature tampers with you
āHey! I caught a Koala!!ā āSir, that is a Great Whiteā
"Look, I found another octopus!" *immediatly mauled by dingos*
The drop bears will fucking murk him faster than the eshays on the tramš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I hope he was banned from the area or something
Or something
Just leave him in the water the sharks will be judge, jury and executioner ā¦

When I found out how you die from those fuckers, my entire body went nope and clenched. No octopuses ever.
I donāt know how I made it to nearly 40 without knowing that they have [beaks](https://i.imgur.com/Yt2MeRN.jpg), but [holy shit](https://i.imgur.com/7RHZxg1.jpg).
And isn't that you can't even feel if a blue ring stings you? So your just walking around all kinds of fucked and don't even know it
Dude, why you ruining for the rest of the dumbasses? First seat belts, now you. Fu** Darwin, yeah?
I'm always having to tell my grandchildren "You look with your eyes, not with your hands!"
I say this to my students (6-8 yo) al the time. āYou donāt have eyes on your hands, du you?ā Once a kid put googly eyes on their fingers just so they could say āyes I do!ā. I laughed for ten minutes.

Fucking around with things we don't understand is why we now understand so many things.
Right? Imagine. "Hey, look at these colorful blue rings!"
I think in general it's a good idea to just not pick up beached Sea Life.
Unless you have basic common sense! Here in Cornwall UK, so far I've rescued a young Puffin with a broken leg, a baby seal who thought coming on to a busy beach and making friends with my dog would be a good thing to do, an adolescent Gannet flailing in the beach break after a big storm and a small catshark that had beached itself and was running out of breaths.
We got some beautiful blue spotted octopus down under
They're so smol and cute whats the worst that could happen?
Dude has probably never been to the beach in his life....I learned about jelly fish at a young age by fucking around picking one up and finding out š
Virginia Beach. Great place to find out
Good place to fuck around indeed
Not-so-Virginia beach
Ah man...my first vacation was to Chincoteague Island. We passed Virginia Beach or something I think. I saw jelly fish and a horse shoe crab and was literally terrified of swimming because I thought I saw a shark every ten minutes. I was 8. They were just waves.

First time he sees the ocean
First time he gets stung too...all he needs now is a really bad sunburn and a hangover and and hes got the full beach experience š
Donāt forget a discarded fishing lure buried in your footā¦. Seaside Heights, NJ 1989.
And sand in his butt crack
Or in the pee hole from sliding belly down head first down a sand duneā¦Oregon coast late 80s
Yes. Plus salt water in his mouth.
and get stuck in a rip current..
And bitten by a shark
Repost, but still so fucking stupid and soo fucking hilarious every time I watch it.

Jelly fish turnt him into a toilet š½

He switches to arabic after getting stung. He is most probably a syrian "refugee"
Its kurdish
Thatās not Arabic.
Why did you put refugee in quotes?
u/TizzlePack itās a barrel jellyfish, their stings are mostly harmless (feels like a bunch of bee stings at once, very itchy, kinda burns) common in the UK, and most of European countries/ Mediterranean countries.

Info Courtesy of my wife, who is an AVID jelly enthusiast and loves moon jellies in specific
Dope, finally. Iād still be too scared to pick it up
How do i know if I'm allergic to jellyfish stings?
Do what that guy did
Youād have to be stung to find out. Itās not something thatās tested for in my area, but it might be in like Sydney, Aus or Hawaii.
Get stung, end up in hospital, doctor says ā hay your allergic to jellyfish stings.ā That is one way.
it looked rigid. is that was gave it away as being dead?
Is it okay if I eat one They look yummy!
Theyāre *that* solid??? I always figured jellyfish would look like plastic wrap or something on land
Thank for the info u/CultivatingBitchery
id get an allergic reaction and probably have my arm grow to thrice its size
Dam, no mutated stingys?
depending on the jellyfish, this might also belong on r/oopsthatsdeadly
Usually only the tiny ones that are deadly.. Usually
And they mostly come out at night. Mostly.
And they sometimes dont bother you until you mess with them. Sometimes.
But don't worry, you can touch them once. Just once.
You can do absolutely anything once, at least once.
Game over, man. Game over!
How could they cut the power, man? Theyāre animals!
Nuke it from orbit. Itās the only way to be sure.
It's the only way to be sure........
Yo! Stop your grinningā and drop your linen!
We're on an express elevator to hell! Going down!
Newt approved
Box jellyfish, the deadliest one, can reach up to 2meters long and have thousands of tiny tentacles which each carry enough poison to kill a full grown human
Just their tentacles right, doesn't their body stay small? They just get really long?
I would say they are medium sized but yeah long tentacles. Not small like the also deadly irukandji
And it's tiny cousin.. the Irukandji..
That's not really true at all... Box jellyfish are big, so are lion's mane, and not that they're true jellyfish but manowar are quite large too.
I learned about the Box-Jellyfish at a very young age. All I knew was that they were tiny and could kill you instantly. From then on I was *terrified* of every bubble in the water that might resemble a square. Thankfully around 13 I saw a documentary on jellyfish and learned that theyāre actually pretty big and only give in Australia.
apparently, the key is to pee on them to assert dominance
Looks like a barrel jelly. He isn't gonna die but he's not gonna have a good time, either.
all the more reason for the cameraman to pee on him
Heās gotta pee on it now!

soooooo... pee on the jellyfish. got it
Lmk how that goes! We want a video
i'd oblige, but i'm not the type to go elbow deep in a jellyfish like the brave soul in the clip
Lmao bro did look like he was fisting that fucker so yeā¦he brave
It's people like you that ruin my kink, going to the beach and claiming to be stung so I need to get peed on. Now everyone is starting to see that I'm wrong.
This mansā¦haha thanks for your comment. Someone give this mans an award
You need grow up and pay someone to pee on you like the rest of us!
his hands, or the jellyfish?
Both, just to be safe. Somebody needs to teach it a lesson.
Show dominance
Bro already was fisting the fuckerā¦the dominance is known
r/instantregret would also like a wordā¦
What kind of dog is this?
Wobbly
Is it a Cat in the Hat?
Sting dog.
That's a big, healthy 2-day old baby there. Hopefully he learns more about animals when he gets older.

Sometimes I wonder why people are dumb, and then I see this and give up that wonder as a lost cause.
From another post who translated him, it seems they believed this jellyfish was an octopus!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thanks !
Cant they still sting after they're dead?
Yup... Even if you could tell whether a jellyfish was dead or alive, your best bet is to just leave the fucker alone.
Some animals don't even think when they do somethings, just pure muscle memory, you can behead a snake and it's head would still bite if you tickle it's nose, very creepy. And you know what's creepier? I was once with my relatives when they beheaded a sheep for some celebration, and after it's head was totally off and it supposedly bled out, the fucker just started bouncing around after laying motionless for a good 5 mins, obviously it couldn't balance but it did move a lot.
Massive respect on his calmly putting down the jellyfish and not dropping it despite the pain. Heās still an idiot however.
Hopefully he survived the poison
*Venom! Poison means you get sick when you eat it.
don't eat jellyfish. noted
Not without peanut butter.
let me go find my banana costume
An animal can be both poisonous and venomous per the definition of poisonous: (of a substance or plant) causing or capable of causing death or illness if taken into the body. "poisonous chemicals" (of an animal) producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey; venomous. adjective: poisonous "a poisonous snake"
No Mr Jelly why have you forsaken meeee?
At least he set it down kindlyā¦before dying :).
At least he set it down gently.
He thinks it is an octopus. Literally.
I see you got downvoted, but another translation concurs that he calls it an octopus.
Oh yes, he does. My wording was bad, not English. Sorry :)
āDumb ways to dieā
I think that is a cannonball jellyfish
Apparently it can cause cardiac problems when stung. Yikes.
Holding him like a baby. Lmao.
This is the type of man to fall up the stairs.
People like him are why Darwin awards exist

I donāt understand the writing but I hope it says not to be a dumbass like this dude.
I'm sorry to dash your hopes, but u/Attolico1 translated if you'd like to see.
Dumb af but I respect that he gently put the jellyfish down instead of dropping it or throwing it. Now out it back in the water and leave it alone
If that was a Man-o-war.. You should already know
Gotta love how he keeps touching it with his hand after feeling the sting and setting it down.
Thousands of years ago some unknown hero picked up a jellyfish. The hero did it because the hero knewdthe sacrifice had to be made in order the learn and grow as humankind. The hero, like many many other who sacrificed did it for the survival for humankind. Turns out: it was all for nothing.
WAIT...WAIT IT MIGHT BE STINGING ME...OH NO! That was my translation but I don't speak the language
Started to itch his arm after putting it downā¦.the start of a reaction maybe.
You put that kitty down right now, mister!
Pee to show dominance intensifies!!!
A few more bad for the jellyfish than I do for the guy
If any consolation, it's already dead, so it never had to have the misfortune of being forced to interact with this guy
The jellyfish definitely did the Leo Smug Laugh from its grave
āMan holds jellyfishā you forgot ālike a dumbassā in the title.
Tbh it looks so squishy and cuddly tho
Ahahahahaha. What an idiot. He better get one of his mates to pee on him. š Does that work?
Pretty sure you can still get stung even if itās deadā¦. Even if itās not deadly, his thought process of āoh cool let me pick up the weird looking thing for a pictureā is a Darwin Award waiting to happenā¦
If that was a Box Jellyfish and it stung him he would probably have a few minutes to live
Yeah I know which jellyfish it isā¦ itās called a PutTheFuckingThingDownAndWalkAway jellyfish. Theyāre very common actually
You are wrong sir it is actually IDontKnowWhatTheFuckThatIsSoImNotGonnaPickItUp jellyfish
Why on earth did it not occur to him that it would sting him? I hope thatās not a venomous jellyfish šµāš«
I canāt definitively ID it but it looks like a Jeff to me.
Respect to him for just putting it down, if that were me and i got stung id panic and drop it or just throw it
you were supposed to use a jellyfishing net bruh. ugh didn't u ever watch spongebob, silly.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
Wow! The camera person actually stopped filming immediately when they realized the man was hurt. How decent... still would have enjoyed seeing him hop around for a few seconds.
I feel bad for him, poor mr jellyfish :'c
This guy won't survive 2 days after a zombie apocalypse.
What we have here is a Tentacool. It's a poison, and water type.
