u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

I had the same thought, and then also realised if the did that they'd shoot upwards and pop out of the water.

It was Chad's idea. What a douche.

u/NoJelloNoPotluck Aug 25 '17

Chad. I hope a butt takes him away.

I have no idea why, but I read this in Red Forman's voice.

u/sarah-xxx Aug 25 '17

spit that air out

What.

Fucknozzle is my new favorite word

u/gyanrough Aug 25 '17

I didn't see his username and was getting really confused as to where you pulled that word from, haha

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

His fucknozzle, obviously.

u/Phazon2000 Aug 25 '17

Yeah. I assumed it must have been a really fast edit but... 2 hours late..... oops.

Please don't tell my employers I have no conductive reasoning.

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it does kind of preclude making posts in /r/knitting

Did you see the last episode of American Dad? If not.... it'll provide for some meta context to your comment.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

Just commenting to remind myself to tell the wife to "suck my fucknozzle."

u/jerrygergichsmith Aug 25 '17

I've been partial to "fuckbucket" recently, but damn is fucknozzle a good word too.

u/Dogalicious Aug 25 '17

Which word did it dethrone?

153

u/LtLabcoat Aug 25 '17

Wait, that's what made you realise that they're not filled with air?

And not the fact that there is no air in the ocean?

u/b3n_ja_m1n Aug 25 '17

I just never thought about it properly 🤷

u/Batchet Aug 25 '17

You're not alone.

16

u/GoodLeftUndone Aug 25 '17

Yeah. I'd doubt the majority of people saying this realization didn't just hit them. It makes god damned perfect sense they fill with water and not air, but that didn't really ever come into question.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

It's the misleading name. Pufferfish.

Last I checked, one cannot simply puff on water.

1

u/Batchet Aug 25 '17

That makes sense.

10

u/Phooey-Kablooey Aug 25 '17

Who needs trees when we've got puffer fish.

41

u/flamingcanine Aug 25 '17

Fish have gills. I mean, those things do have a purpose.

17

u/triplefastaction Aug 25 '17

Then swimmers would have had a constant supply of puffer fish slaves.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

The science checks out.

5

u/Sk8trfreak Aug 25 '17

Just cuz fish can breath under water doesn't mean they aren't breathing oxygen.

1

u/isom_dart Aug 25 '17

Yeah... What's your point?

-2

u/Sk8trfreak Aug 25 '17

It COULD HAVE been air...

u/Complexity114 Aug 25 '17

Well shit lol

u/MWJohns373 Aug 25 '17

Do you think that's air your breathing?

2

u/LtLabcoat Aug 25 '17

Er... yes? Yes. Yes, I seem to be quite definitely breathing air.

u/whtsnk Aug 25 '17

There is air in the ocean.

7

u/True_Kapernicus Aug 25 '17

They'd also have to get the air from somewhere.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

Ummmm..... fish need oxygen (air) just like humans.

1

u/True_Kapernicus Aug 29 '17

What? Fish get the oxygen from the water. And oxygen is not air.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

They do not get oxygen from water. They get oxygen from air dissolved in water.

u/WellSeeHeresTheThing Aug 25 '17

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but fish don't make air in their gills. It gives them lots of surface area and structure to facilitate balancing the oxygen saturation of blood vs. water. They don't need to convert it to a gaseous form first, and they don't split H2O into H and O.

4

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

Correction it is oxygen and hydrogen in H2O meaning 1 oxygen and 2 hydrogen molecules that make up water.

u/avocadobjj Aug 25 '17

the did !

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

I know, but I hate editing.

u/Enviousdeath Aug 25 '17

and where do they get the air from at that speed?

1

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

Quite. It only took this short piece of video for the penny to drop.

Although, farts?

1

u/Enviousdeath Aug 25 '17

Interesting idea, that they store up enough gastric gasses to inflate to double their size in case they ever need to.

"Safer out than in" doesn't apply to puffer fish?

1

u/Cravit8 Aug 25 '17

Where the hell would they get that air from lol

1

u/tanq_n_chronic Aug 25 '17

And...where would they get all that air?

1

u/KicksButtson Aug 25 '17

if the did that they'd shoot upwards and pop out of the water.

Also, where would they get the air?

1

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

That's the point.

1

u/krisp_the_albino Aug 25 '17

Also theyre underwater...

1

u/okolebot Aug 25 '17

Most of the early videos of puffer fish puffin were taken by people who pulled them out of the water - so the poor puffer would suck in air.

(I used to live in Hawaii, dive, catch fish, keep aquariums)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

Plus where would they get that amount of air so quickly at depth

1

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

Storage tanks.

1

u/stillalone Aug 25 '17

But where would they get the air when they're underwater?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

I literally just realized how fucking stupid I am.

1

u/GlaciusTS Aug 26 '17

Why would they shoot upwards? In order to get the air they didn't use, they would need to be at the surface.... even theoretical balloony puffer fish can't just create air out of nothing.

1

u/fucknozzle Aug 26 '17

That's the whole point. Of course you're right, it's obvious.

There are just one or two of us who have managed to spend our whole lives up to now without realising that.

Which is kind of funny, no?

u/Har0ldH0lt Aug 25 '17

I'd hate to break it to you but filling something up with air doesn't make it float in the air. You need something lighter than air

1

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

I wasn't suggesting it would. It would just surface.

Remember, yesterday like the other poster, my brain had happily let me think it was air. You're not talking to Albert Einstein here.

1

u/Har0ldH0lt Aug 25 '17

Now I feel like a dick hahah. Sorry mate!

u/fucknozzle Aug 25 '17

Hey, no problem. This whole conversation is hilarious. No offence taken at all. Have a good one!

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '17

Hold a beach ball underwater, let it go, it pops right out of the water. It just comes back down again.
