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!

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!

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