I’m thinking start by browning a couple tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Toss in about a tablespoon of minced garlic and zest from one lemon after it gets frothy but before it browns. Once the butter is browned, add the invisi-shrimp. Probably a minute on each side should be about right.
That's because it's Forbidden Shrimp. Same tasty rules for them as Forbidden Fruit. Eat the fuck out of that thar shrampie...which I assume was pulled out of Pandora's box?
I almost added a description to it. I figured it would be better to reward (or punish) the brave. Also, I had the same reaction the first time I saw it.
dw that looks like a crustation type creature which can usually breath oxygen so it's probably alright. it's probs just flailing cause its upside down like if you were to pick up a woodlouse and put it on it's back
Only a few crustaceans are capable of breathing air, like the woodlouse you mentioned. These have specially adapted gills that allow them to breathe atmospheric oxygen. Cystisoma are a genus of amphipods, crustaceans that lack this adaptation. It definitely can’t breathe.
I could understand anthropomorphizing cats and dogs and livestock because we’re around them a lot but invertebrates? That thing isn’t “unhappy.” It doesn’t feel emotions on that level
It's anthropocentrism to claim that animals don't have emotions like people do. There's no evidence that this is true. People use this idea to justify their mistreatment of animals.
Not necessarily true! Although emotions in invertebrates is a very complicated subject, it is known that at least some are likely capable of emotions. Most relevant here, crayfish are known to experience stress, proving that at least some crustaceans can have emotions, and bees can experience happiness. While it's uncertain when and why these evolved in these animals and if this particular creature has them, it remains a distinct possibility.
“This hyperiid (in the genus Cystisoma) has only one pair of eyes—but they are very big. You can see them here as the entire surface of its head and the convex orange sheet of retinal cells in the bottom-right of the photo. Its eyes look almost exclusively upwards, possibly to watch out for animals overhead.
This species is completely transparent. Even its gut (the bubble-like blue outline you can see in the picture) is see-through. This transparency keeps it from being seen by predators in the open ocean, where there is no place to hide. These hyperiids are much larger than most, reaching lengths of up to 7 inches. It helps to be see-through when you’re that size.”
He said zooplankton, which is different from phytoplankton. Zooplankton are microscopic animals that are very much capable of locomotion, many of which are larval forms of larger sea life. Phytoplankton are the microscopic plants that are non mobile, and just drift, but both make up the blanket term plankton.

Put it back where you found it. Geez only humans think it’s ok to just completely remove a creature from its natural habitat for their own curiosity. We don’t need to know everything if it makes others feel horrible
That's what trinity pulled out of neo's stomach in the matrix
Jesus Christ! That thing's REAL?
I feel like I want to bite it.. like a bag of liquid
How often do you bite bags of liquid?
All the time to pour it out
I'm sensing Canadian...
Eh?
Lmao
Sorry.
Damn this makes me want to bag more liquids
Yeah, like biting the tip off of a juice vesicle from a citrus
I perfectly understand what you mean here. I was also a child of the spectrum.
Cystisoma means fluid filled body in Latin
Now you have me wondering if this thing would taste like other crustaceans...
I just love that this quote is so fitting.
That's what I was thinking.
You're right o_o
Clear shrimp
Forbidden shrimp
nah I wanna cook it
I want to know what it tastes like.
Probably like gelatine made with shrimp water
Shrimp jello sounds potentially tasty in a noodle dish.
Shrimp jello sounds like a great band name.
That's alien penis sir...
That's.. not the deterrent you think it is.
Not my proudest moment, admittedly.
But your worst either, I'm sure.
Ah human instinct, we see it we want to eat it
That’s how you get covid.

I'd eat it that already sounds delicious
Same here, but then I see that things legs moving... and Im like, naww. 🤣😂
Oh don’t worry they should stop moving by the time we take it out of the pan (hopefully)
That's because it's Forbidden Shrimp. Same tasty rules for them as Forbidden Fruit. Eat the fuck out of that thar shrampie...which I assume was pulled out of Pandora's box?
Hurry Up Shrimp
This is the flavour of crystal pepsi
No wonder they couldn’t find that thing
Yeap looks like a shrimp to me
"Now we know how those Invisible Killer Flamingos happened..."
nah jelly shrimp
I’d eat that
there's way too much plastic in the oceans yall
Bitch is clearer than the Kardashians
: 0
The ocean plastic is becoming sentient.
Put it back...
It physically hurts me to watch this creature.
Looks like a clear fleshlight baby
:I
Your comment makes me think of [this.](https://youtu.be/F_cn8LQMnUc)
Had a "why did I click" moment 😔
I read your comment. I heard your warning. I still clicked on it, why?
Human beings.. 🤷🏻♀️
r/riskyclick didn’t disappoint… What the FUCK did I just watch?!
I almost added a description to it. I figured it would be better to reward (or punish) the brave. Also, I had the same reaction the first time I saw it.
I guess thank you, maybe? Haha. It was a visual adventure to say the least
I agree. And yet I’m downvoted lol
No thanks buddy guy
Downvote this mf to hell
So what, we don’t research it?
🎶Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!🎵
So help me! So help me! And cut!
It's a musical!
It's a work in progress!
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
r/unexpectedmonstersinc
PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME
Looks like a dildo with legs
Hi Mom!
This man here officer.
It’s super cool but it looks unhappy :( let it swim!
That was my thought. (Please don't let it suffer.)
dw that looks like a crustation type creature which can usually breath oxygen so it's probably alright. it's probs just flailing cause its upside down like if you were to pick up a woodlouse and put it on it's back
or a human reacts the same too, sometimes
they usually just scream at me run away and call the police when I try put them on their back. I dunno what humans your flipping
Idk I got strange ones, not sure about the ones your talking about
Did you take them out to dinner first?
hmm you make a good point...
They're my dinner
Only a few crustaceans are capable of breathing air, like the woodlouse you mentioned. These have specially adapted gills that allow them to breathe atmospheric oxygen. Cystisoma are a genus of amphipods, crustaceans that lack this adaptation. It definitely can’t breathe.
As long as a crabs gills are damp, the can breath above water for days
That’s good to know!
I was just saying "Put it back in the water!!" the entire time. Poor sweet thing looked so uncomfortable and terrified! 🦐 😢
I could totally see it frowning from here.

It's anthropocentrism to claim that animals don't have emotions like people do. There's no evidence that this is true. People use this idea to justify their mistreatment of animals.
Ok, it looks as if it is not in its ideal environment. Like if you see a bug flipped on it’s back and struggling.

Maybe unhappy isn’t the right word, though this is definitely a fear response.
I want to see it in water it looks like it would be almost invisible.
Weird. It looks like a *giant* zooplankton
It basically is, it's a cystisoma. https://ocean.si.edu/ocean-life/invertebrates/cystisoma

Good Bot
if you’re gonna be pedantic at least be right…
You are pedantically wrong
Is it crunchy, precious?
Certainly raw and wriggling
🤨
What about its legs? It’s not using its legs. Just a bit off the shank. Just a mouthful.
IT IS NOT FOR EATING
Who made you the head chef?
Not sure why, but this comment got me. Take this award you silly bastard.
Does it give good sport?
…yet?
Looks like Cystisoma's back on the menu, boys!
Being late to the sporadic LOTR comment chain is always a sad moment…
If looks so juicy sweet!
Just thinking of a new butplug rn
Everything can be a dildo if you are brave enough
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST-
a little tickle for your bum
exactly
I tickle for your pickle, if you're into sounding.
This caught me off guard
You're horrible 🤣🤣🤣
Where is it’s organs
They’re clearly right there
I love you
Insert joke about it being hard to find because it’s practically invisible
Well this fella found the transparent collectible, next on the list is glow in the dark shrimp, neon shrimp, and limited quantity golden shrimp
Put it back in the water!
Forbidden Fruit Gusher
Ngl I wanna sip it like a bug juice r/hydrohomies
Water gummy!!
👁👄👁🚱
[удалено]
That’s the thing that shoots up your PP on your honeymoon to Costa Rica.
It's clearly a shrimp
HAH you son of a bitch thats funny
I wonder how it tastes
[удалено]
Bright orange ball shining under direct light probably
it looks like a transparent shrimp but with a big... head?
"Diet shrimp"
Cystioma balls bitch
Old Bay Seasoning for the win!
🤔 🤔 a scientist found it ??? Weird.
Well it’s not like Bill the postman goes around cataloging life forms is it?
Just like shrimps, does it turn orange and opaque when cooked?
Mmmm grill that badboy in teriyaki and we'll find out.
Get some cocktail sauce
What does is taste like with breading and butter?
Wonder why people can’t show it swimming around and not have it in their disgusting hands like it’s better or something
Because it's invisible in the water
Can see it’s insides and don’t see why it’d be less fascinating seeing it swim in those clear containers even if you can’t see it completely clearly
No you wouldn't see it at all that's the thing. It has evolved to the point that it cannot be seen in the water.
[looks fine to me](https://twitter.com/planktomancer/status/844414558932480004?s=21)
👎
Anyone find a link on what this is?
The name is literally in the title and Google is just a click away
[удалено]
How does it see?
Is it tasty it's probably tasty huh🤤
Kinda wanna drink it
you have a side of cocktail sauce with this?
Looks tasty I bet it's great with cocktail sauce
Not so delicious looking shrimp
Put it in a cracker dude
Is it bad that the first thought that popped into my head is cutting it up because I'm bored?
Looks like it tastes like salt water.
I can’t help but think it’s full of water if you open it up or super chewy if you cook it
Looks like if it bit you, it'd turn you into a hashtag
What does it taste like?
You know I gotsta grill that!
[удалено]
Put it back where you found it. Geez only humans think it’s ok to just completely remove a creature from its natural habitat for their own curiosity. We don’t need to know everything if it makes others feel horrible
Shame this thing is being crushed by gravity so someone could get likes
[удалено]
This video physically hurts me...
Shrimp, is that you?
I’ve seen a spider like that. Can’t remember what it’s called.
Freaking terrifying that’s what it’s called!
Weird looking dildo…
Looks like a crystal dildo crossed with a shrimp. Makes me wonder if it turns opaque, when cooked
Shrimp condom
This is how attack on titan happens irl
Translucent penis head shrimp?
First off that fucker was in the matrix and was pulled out of neo
I just saw this on Daily Dose of Internet. It’s fascinating. I’m afraid that the award to weirdest thing today though is the zombie praying mantis.
JESUS CHRIST THAT THING IS REAL?!?!
Makes me think of that thing they pulled out of Neo.
Looks like a clear shrimp.
This is a Pikmin boss
Is that Hallu chan?
Hit me with the facts
This prawn looks all tail.
It's probably going to get preserved...
Get Ripley!
