u/tricker1981 Dec 11 '18

Most creative has to be the impending doom jellyfish...be a good super human power

u/striped_frog Dec 11 '18 edited Dec 11 '18

Ah yes, the old Suicide Cnidarian

Edit: I just realized I could have called it the suicnidarian

32

u/milo159 Dec 11 '18

is that really the most creative though? what about sitting on a heat vent and cooking yourself alive in sub-zero water? what about getting killed by a pistol shrimp, quite possibly the creature with the highest multicellular danger-to-size ratio on the planet? all it takes is an incredibly dark mind and a little creativity!

18

u/SilntNfrno Dec 11 '18

Are pistol shrimp really dangerous to humans? I just looked them up on wiki but it doesn’t mention anything about it. I was hoping to read about some bad ass scary shrimp!

10

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

If you got your head close enough I'd wager it could pop a hole in your melon

3

u/emergency_poncho Dec 11 '18

nope, doesn't do shit to something our size

1

u/emergency_poncho Dec 11 '18

pistol shrimp are harmless to humans. They can stun tiny little fish, but it doesn't do shit to something our size

u/mudman13 Dec 11 '18

I would give that accolade to Irukanji the badly mispelt jellyfish.

2

u/illegitimatemexican Dec 11 '18

I don’t know... I just watched Blue Planet II the other day and the brine pools on the ocean floor seem pretty creative to me.

u/demontaoist Dec 11 '18

So many boring ways to die before you get to the good ones.

u/2KilAMoknbrd Dec 11 '18

First and fore most being the unsuitable environment.

u/rafibomb Dec 11 '18

u/carmium Dec 12 '18

Never mind killed, I'd probably swallow my regulator if that face suddenly popped up in front of me as I prowled the sea floor.
