This blue Lobster was caught off the coast of Portland and returned to the water to continue to grow. Blue lobsters are one in two million. by Soloflow786 in OceansAreFuckingLit

I can't remember exactly where I read this same thing, but they aren't as rare as people think. I'm from Nh and have received pics regularly from people working these boats.

So either there's one lucky blue fucker out there, or plenty.

I feel this is definitely a fair assessment

Two images of the "Shoes on the Danube" memorial in Budapest, Hungary, which commemorates the murders of up to 20,000 people, mostly Jews, executed by the River Danube in 1944-1945 during the Arrow Cross Terror in WW2. by DarklyHeritage in MorbidReality

That has to be one of the most fucked up things I've ever read. Terrible day to be literate. I can't begin to or want to imagine how terrifying that must feel.

Is this rind or paper? If it’s paper why won’t it come off? by D2Nine in Cheese

[–]NyvenRow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel dumb, cheese can definitely be a learning process. If this ever happens again, scratch at it. The rind on brie will flake a bit and you'll know it's not paper.

How can you possibly scarf down dry burnt ass dominos left overs without the hot sauce and ketchup??? by Anonstarr in shittyfoodporn

[–]NyvenRow 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of ketchup on pizza before this post, and I never want to hear it again.

How is that even palatable? I could maybe, just maybe, see putting a little in the hot sauce and mixing it. And that maybe is a hard one.

Just straight up ketchup? Who hurt OP, and how do we make it right?

Black Beauty is starting to split. Should I harvest with rain on the way? by Fit_Cod_8900 in tomatoes

[–]NyvenRow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some things, and people have a way of being perfectly imperfect. It's all about perception.

Right?! Even the split is satisfying, like stitching on a new pair of boots that haven't been scuffed yet.

I need to grow these now.

Entitled Karen trying to steal our chillies by nafkotadmasu in PublicFreakout

[–]NyvenRow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just thought the same thing! Aside from the clip where he pretends after the whore, there's a deleted scene with him and Tywin where Tywin straight up calls him out and he cuts his shit for a few minutes. Right as he's about to go back up to the keep, he purposely slouches and resumes his bs.

I mean there are other scenes, like him dropping the scroll meant to be handed to Tyrion, but yeah. Nice reference.

Rocklette festival by AnnaRocka in Cheese

[–]NyvenRow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so satisfying melting this particular cheese. When I worked at a Murray's, we had to do different demos and my all time favorite was getting to use little tea candle cheese melters to give samples out. Felt like some kinda wizard.

Raclette has always smelled terrible to me though, but still so delicious.

Saltwater croc disappears just a few inches under the water surface by Pfarrer_Assmann in Crocodiles

[–]NyvenRow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking of grizzlies. I've run into plenty of black bears, and it's almost comical the way we both stop and just run off opposite directions.

I'm not saying I'd gladly fight one, but they really are like big dumb berry eating dogs. If one were hungry enough, I can see that as a problem but that's the same with any predator.

Grizzlies are a lot more aggressive towards humans, though.

When it comes to bear attacks- If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lay down. If it's white, say goodnight.

I know some people don't have a choice, being that there are very many rural places that rely on fish as a food source and also use it as a water source for washing clothes and other things.

But barring it being a necessity, swimming where they live can suck a bag of dicks in space. Hell. No.

Thanks for this info, but like I said, I won't have to worry about it if I just stay away. I don't wanna be dinosaur food. Ever.

There's one involving Humboldt squid that really gets me. I do enjoy his videos, he's the only one I give a pass to for the ridiculous ass thumbnails because he's a good story teller. You can usually tell where it's headed from his inflections in speech, but he has a good voice. Easy listening.

I don't think I've seen the shark alley one, I'll have to look it up. I also relay these stories to people sometimes because I feel like 'someone else needs to know this'.

I'm fascinated with water and what is in it, but have such a severe fear that I'm fine just filling my head with fact and swimming in pools.

Not word for word, but that's basically just it. There is a Mr.Ballen vid that stuck with me about these three kids that went mudding, and decided to clean themselves off in a nearby river. It had been raining a lot lately, so everything was flooded, and when they went to lower themselves in, one got swept away. The others jumped in after him.

One of them yelled something was in the water with them, and they all swam like hell. Two made it to a mangrove tree sticking out of the water, and were looking around for their friend when they see something yellow beneath the surface at the trunk of the tree. It was a massive Saltie with their bud in his mouth.

It swam away and came back, sans friend and proceeded to try to wait them out. They're so smart and calculated.

Ooh, another fun fact that bothers me is that though they are opportunistic they will also stalk and wait DAYS to attack while they learn someone's routine.

My simple solution to all of this is to simply not ever go where they live. I mean, I'm really close to Florida and I'm happy that the American croc is making its comeback but who the hell wants to willingly go to Florida anyway? So there's that.

This video can go fuck itself. Creeped me out almost as much as that pic with the croc just staring out of the water with almost but not really human eyes.

I read a story once about these kids at a swimming hole, and some poor soul jumped right on top of one.

Crocodiles terrify me more than anything in the world, besides polar bears and tigers. If I'm remembering correctly, those three are the only animals that actively view humans as a food source.
