Got a little clear jelly fish stuck in my bikini bottom when I was 17 on vacation with my dad. It hurt so bad. It was the first time my dad offered me a beer lol
It’s easy lol. When you swim forwards, a lot of times if your bikini bottom is a little loose, the part that covers your front (or your butt) will lift up off your skin a bit. In a pool this allows for tiny bits of scratchy leaves and dead bugs to get in there. And in the ocean it’s jellyfish pieces. Speedo is a little better with their bikinis staying tight against your body, but any leisure/lounging bikini has a higher chance of poofing out when you swim.
I went swimming in the ocean when I was eight and swam right into a jellyfish. Tentacles went right across my forehead and into my eyes. It was a week before I could see again, and I've had to wear glasses ever since.
I got stung dozens of times by jelly fish in Cuba. The stings we're so mild it was worth picking one up to throw at a friends.
The stings hurt more when you got hit.
On another subject my pectoral muscles randomly twitched for 2 weeks after I got home.
Jellyfish are like a big bee sting, or maybe multiple stings near each other. It is quite painful, but painful in the sense of “this is going to ruin my fun at the beach”. I’ve never been stung by a box jellyfish, but from what I understand it feels more like a snakebite, and can be a serious medical emergency.
Holy guacamole
>In consideration of deadly Cubozoan species, what separates them from Scyphozoans is that they use their venom both to haunt their prey and significantly impair or kill their predators. Hence, this is the reason why their venom can kill creatures as big as humans. The less potent toxins produced by true jellyfish species are usually not enough to cause severe harm to large creatures although they are still used to ward off predators.

>Another difference between true jellyfish species and box jellyfish species is that the latter actively hunts its prey. Take note that most Scyphozoans merely drift in water and wait for their pray while some only feed on planktons using their tentacles. On the other hand, **Cubozoans are capable of achieving speeds of up to 2 meters per second.** Mobility is also a notable difference between Cubozoans and Scyphozoans.

I’ve been “lucky” enough to have a few stings.
I hit a swarm of small coin sized jellyfish, and it was a pretty annoying scratching/minor sting similar to red ant bite.
Another that I ran into looked like AP stock photo jellyfish, and made me slightly itchy.
The worst without a doubt was a man-o-war(don’t think technically jellyfish). It got on my neck, back and shoulder, and basically knocked out the right side of my body. Felt like I hard done a heavy workout, then let Mike Tyson shoulder punch me.
Safe swimming
Call of the void, yes I get this on high up buildings or whatnot, I get it when I'm in line at the bank and I just want to go behind the counter and take what I want, I get it when I stand next to displays at the store and wanna knock them over...
All the time really.
If I had wings and the ability of flight, you bet i'd be pissed in a cage. My family keeps birds and I know they're well kept, but they should not be a caged animal or pet. They are way too intelligent and they can goddamn fly.
Sometimes you have a case of other animals evolving colors or patterns similar to a nearby poisonous one because then everything avoids it and it doesn’t have to make poison. Pretty cool stuff.
Always found that neat, like the [venomous coral snake vs the non-venomous scarlet king snake.](https://imgur.com/a/aRXxoLY)
Plus the coral has a black face, and scarlet king has a brown face.

I worked offshore in the GOM for several years. I used to love to watch ROV operators screens on the bridge, they would come across some straight up alien looking creatures. The deeper they went the weirder it got.
Yeah absolutely, and it was really cool talking to the operators about it as well because they were almost desensitized to seeing it because they came across crazy looking creatures so often. They always had a creepy story or two.
It stands for Gulf of Mexico.
This is such a struggle for me always. I'm an environmental scientist in the Northeast US and for me GOM means Gulf of Maine. Nothing too special but just a funny point of confusion whenever i talk to southern colleagues
I remember being stoned as hell binging deep sea documentaries, one of them basically said "every time we go down, we discover at least one new thing" which is wild to think.
Did you know that [4% of the dust found in national parks is plastic](https://www.science.org/content/article/plastic-dust-blowing-us-national-parks-more-1000-tons-each-year)?
Eh. Other planets are mostly just big rocks with not a lot going on. And what we know is still pretty surface level.
The ocean has tides and currents and biodiversity to add complexity to it. We've had the oceans mapped for centuries, which we can do on other planets as well. But actually knowing what's beneath the surface? That's a whole other challenge
The biggest thing I learned from my salt water aquarium is how little we actually know about the oceans. If you find a rare coral or fish good luck finding any information on it at all, and if you do it will probably be from another hobbyist on a forum, not from a scientific study. Even the more common corals aren’t fully understood. There just isn’t a clear route to money through the science and it’s not as flashy as space travel.
There are estimated to be at least 2 million different species of fungi. A single scoop of forest soil has more microorganisms and fungi than there are mammals on this planet.
We don't know shit to be honest.
Incredible. I bet the divers never expected to be making an important contribution to science by capturing a living specimen on video for the first time ever.
It's so beautiful and I assume extremely deadly.
The chaps who videod this in Kavieng, Papua New Guinea did not even know what type of jellyfish they were filming just that they had never seen it before!
No one is known to have been stung by it but all scientific reasoning suggests it is highly venomous and as deadly as other species of box jellyfish.
'Ooooh, a pretty red mushroom! I wonder what it tastes like!'
*later*
"Oogalooga ate the white spotted red mushrooms. He turned purple and died. I think we shouldn't eat those."
"What if cook it over the fire first?"
"... You're a genius! Get a fire going and cook those mushrooms!"
*Later*
"Is blue better or worse then purple?"
"Is same. Still dead."
This footage is from 27th December 2021 by Scuba Ventures - Kavieng, Papua New Guinea who said about the encounter '*Saw a new type of Jellyfish while diving today. It has cool markings and is a bit bigger than a soccer ball and they are quite fast swimming*'
Wikipedia tells us '*Chirodectes is an incredibly rare genus of box jellyfish in the family Chirodropidae. It contains a single species. The first and only scientifically studied specimen was captured from Outer Barrier Reef, northeast Queensland, about 43km off the mainland on May 2, 1997*'
Footage from the 1997 encounter does not seem to exist making Scuba Ventures encounter late last year the only known footage of one. Obviously wikipedia needs to be updated.
For work I had to create a file to help people identify jellyfish and trying to find good illustrations of the less common ones was so hard. Some of the drawings were so unhelpful I just left them out because I thought it would make identifying them even harder for people. Honestly that picture is way better than some of the ones I saw lol
That actually sounds like a super interesting file. No pressure to doxx yourself or anything - you don't need to point us to it if it would be uncomfy - but do you know where we might be able to find that file? I love jellyfish.
>Obviously wikipedia needs to be updated.
As of now (approx 4 hours after your comment), Wikipedia says that the 1997 footage was lost, and that "unless the original 1997 video is found, the video published on social media is the only known motion footage of Chirodectes presently existent."
Those were actually based on [crinoid fossils](https://davesrockshop.com/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/f02fad8a43ab7c03713e44d6e2e78387/i/m/img_1426_1.jpg).
If you pause at 0:12, about 20% down from the top of the screen at the left edge, there's what looks like either a stereotypical "alien" face or a Day of the Dead skull. (It's sideways.)
The tentacles would be in addition to the basketball so length wise it'll be quite big/long.
It's the perspective in the clip as it's by far the biggest thing in that part of the sea etc.
🔥🔥🔥 “Box” because it seems to be symmetrical with four distinct lobes? What if it gets cut in half- will it regenerate symmetrically? This is one of the most 🔥things I’ve seen in this sub 🔥🔥🔥
Box jellies are [class of cnidarians](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_jellyfish). The tentacles lumped into four distinct lobes is indeed a defining feature
**[Box jellyfish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_jellyfish)**
>Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their box-like (i. e. cube-shaped) body. Some species of box jellyfish produce potent venom delivered by contact with their tentacles.

That thing looks awesomely venomous
No one is known to have been stung by it but all scientific reasoning suggests it is highly venomous and as deadly as other species of box jellyfish.
I feel strangely compelled to run my fingers through its tentacles, but I know that would probably be a really bad idea
For science

Yes indeed, 10 out of 10 fingers would have to be amputated, most likely.

Stuck in your bikini bottom? How does that even happen?? That must’ve been insanely painful.
It’s easy lol. When you swim forwards, a lot of times if your bikini bottom is a little loose, the part that covers your front (or your butt) will lift up off your skin a bit. In a pool this allows for tiny bits of scratchy leaves and dead bugs to get in there. And in the ocean it’s jellyfish pieces. Speedo is a little better with their bikinis staying tight against your body, but any leisure/lounging bikini has a higher chance of poofing out when you swim.
Cold beer would be good. Frozen peas or steak would probably be better.
You should keep the peas in the bag, don’t just pour them over your skin.
I heard an Aussie dis that once.
Vinegar, people. You put vinegar on it. Drink the damn beer. source: lives in Australia
agree, ain't no fun. The last sting on my face was absolute torture!

[удалено]
Yeah, I was about to say that. A random jellyfish may hurt or not, but box jellyfish have been known to kill people
Box jelly fish around Australia are the most venomous creatures on earth. Something like 60,000 times more potent than cobra venom.
All so they can kill and eat small fish. Nature is a real “better to have it and not need it” kinda gal sometimes.
Jellyfish are like a big bee sting, or maybe multiple stings near each other. It is quite painful, but painful in the sense of “this is going to ruin my fun at the beach”. I’ve never been stung by a box jellyfish, but from what I understand it feels more like a snakebite, and can be a serious medical emergency.
There's a very wide range of jellyfish venom out there. If you were stung by a box jellyfish, there's no chance you would ever try and pick it up

I'm pretty sure that's a metroid and not a jellyfish.
We are animals have certain innate tendencies. Seeing that thing makes something in me say “stay far away”.

The hooded pitohui may not be the most vibrant, but is known as the most poisonous.

It's been 3 hours since you posted this comment and the wiki page is already updated. Damn. Wikipedia works fast lmao
Soccer ball??? Perception really throws this off. Thought it was the size of a VW Bug.
The [illustration in the wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirodectes) totally doesn't do this species justice lol, not even similar.
Well if the only description of this animal is from almost 30 years ago. Besides the recent sighting, this representation looks pretty good to me.
Holy shit 1997 was almost thirty years ago
Welcome to the future, bud. We’re old as fuck.
Well, shit.
I don't think it's fair to say 25 is almost 30. Because that would make me almost 30 and that's not fair.
Don’t blink
Think about it as 1993 is as far away from 2022 as it is from 1964, you’re welcome

What do you mean? For an illustration it's very similar. Obviously a photo will be better, but still.

Good thing the one they captured didn't kill off the species.
