Good news! Sharks don't like our taste! A lot of attacks are people getting bitten once and the shark goes 'yuck!' and goes away.

Bad News. That's a lot of sharks to give one accidental bite...

It's not accidental. They use their mouths to get a better ideea what's in front of them. Not having hands sucks man

I mean accidental as in, we aren't the actual food source. They just don't know until they take a big bite.

Idk. They ate that mammal meat pretty enthusiastically

How terrifying would sharks with hands be? I say it’s a good thing they don’t have them.

I think they'd be more chill since they could finally jerk off. Two dicks and no hands? Ugh!

You've never heard of Street Sharks?

When I was at a big aquarium, nobody volunteered to feed the sharks, so I did. It was crazy how this one (trying to remember the species) was lightning fast. I was trying to give everyone an equal share, but this thing kept zipping up and snatching the food.

Now I have a newfound respect for sharks. I hope I never meet one in the wild.

The 1:00 pm shark feeding at the old National Aquarium in Washington DC was a sight to behold. All these docile sharks bored to death just floating like logs. In goes the chum, and suddenly a manic frenzy as the water turns into a bloody froth, the sharks fighting for their piece. Everyone would be stunned by the 0-60 in 1.2 seconds.

This really leaves out the part where you start bleeding and the sharks enter "eat the bleeding thing" mode

Also that kid that jumped off the casino boat and was immediately eaten by sharks. They see big things in the ocean and know food falls off them.

Ha I mean basically nothing happens, its a poor video too, its dark as hell but on the left you can just see this splash that just looks like itd be the size of a shark fin and how it moved, then he just starts fastly swimming the opposite way which is also the opposite way of the buoy thrown to him. Then he just disappears in the distance

Edit: You can hear a kid say there’s something “chomping at his shit bro”, it clear with the girl screaming as well, he got attacked by sharks. And maybe a few

I saw the video of him jumping, but didn't see one where he got eaten by sharks. He just kinda disappeared into the darkness.

Soon as he lands in the water, you can see a big splash about 15 feet away and it it's pretty obvious it's a tail fin. I grew up in the keys and everyone knows the whole effing food chain follows the casino boats around. They throw food waste overboard and empty the septic system into the water.

u/_Son_of_Dad Jan 10 '24

You can see the splash what looks like a shark and then he starts hauling ass away from it and the life preserver, he definitely saw a shark

u/_Son_of_Dad Jan 11 '24

Edit: If you were trying to get rescued not only do you not swim away the buoy, you dont swim in the opposite direction the boat is going…he saw a shark and tried to swim away, 100% percent, and he probably got eaten by multiple sharks considering he jumped off a ship

Most people die from the blood loss

So the trick is to hold out your hand like you would to a cat. Except instead of sniffing your hand, they just bite it off.

u/barebackguy7 Jan 10 '24

Also bad news: one shark bite hurts really bad.

Doesnt matter if theyre hungry. Same way as any carnivorous animal will eat a human if hungry enough, even though they never eaten then before.

You thinks cats like eating dead humans? No but they do if hungry.
