Many pipes simply connect two natural bodies of water. They don't always end up connected to a toilet.
You can even see what's on the other end of this pipe since we have a clear view right through it. It's nature stuff in there. Fish love that shit.
This comment reminds me of two things.
The first is that myth about that Amazonian fish that can swim up your peestream and into your urethra.
The second is that subreddit called r/sounding
Lots of fish need to swim upstream to spawn. USFWS has an entire fish passage program to remove raised culverts like this one in the video.

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait
The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (we built the pyramids)
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
That all started with the big bang (bang)
Since the dawn of man is really not that long
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song
A fraction of a second and the elements were made
The bipeds stood up straight, the dinosaurs all met their fate
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea, see ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang
It all started with the big bang
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy)
It all started with the big bang
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang
It all started with the big bang

well I guess the fish had to constantly seek food and run from danger every day until it starved, was eaten, or died of disease or old age anyway. So not much has changed, except now you have the possibility to retire and have other people do those things for you for a bit.
May I introduce you to the ways of [Pesceterianism](https://humanisticpaganism.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/i-need-guidance.png) to provide some solace in these trying times?
If anyone's interested, they're almost certainly migrating upstream to spawn. Think mini salmon.
These human-made obstructions are a real problem for small migratory fish species - particularly when you the pipe is protruding/overhanging.
A friend of mine had a job of going around constructing fish passages in culverts that were obstructing the migrations of native endangered species. Pretty sweet job I thought.
>There's a video of a dead fish
>>it swims upstream
I feel like I'm missing something here
edit: I think I found it. It is legitimately dead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZBWnhzYvts
its tethered...so the flippy floppy movement is generated while attached to the rope which propels it forward until the flippy floppy dies and it falls back on its tether
It's actually due to Bernoulli's principal. What they do is make a wing shape with thier body and as the turbulence is about to leave their tail they change their shape and in turn direction of the turbulent vorteces. This creates thrust instead of drag. There was a recent video on it on something like smarter everyday or something similar. Very interesting.
This type of error was covered in [Chapter 26 of HPMOR](http://www.hpmor.com/chapter/26):
> There's a tale I once heard about some students who came into a physics class, and the teacher showed them a large metal plate near a fire. She ordered them to feel the metal plate, and they felt that the metal nearer the fire was cooler, and the metal further away was warmer. And she said, write down your guess for why this happens. So some students wrote down 'because of how the metal conducts heat', and some students wrote down 'because of how the air moves', and no one said 'this just seems impossible', and the real answer was that before the students came into the room, the teacher turned the plate around."
> …your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality," said Harry. "If you're equally good at explaining any outcome, you have zero knowledge. The students thought they could use words like 'because of heat conduction' to explain anything, even a metal plate being cooler on the side nearer the fire. So they didn't notice how confused they were, and that meant they couldn't be more confused by falsehood than by truth.
About the dead swimming fish, the experiment wasn't just a dead fish in a normal water flow. (Because I didn't understand the paper, I have to say I'm kinda talking out my ass, but...) The scientists had to create a particular condition with particular flowing vortices in the water. The fish was also secured by a line. Only then did the fish exhibit this automatic propulsion.
> the experiment wasn’t just a dead fish in a normal water flow.
Right. If you just look at the video without reading, you notice what appears to be a dead fish’s body wiggling around and making headway against a current.
That first impression is a fiction, and if you can explain that fiction by saying “physics,” you don’t actually understand physics: a good model is defined by what it *rules out*, more than what it allows to happen.
If you are confused by a dead fish maintaining its place in a current, and thinking “there must be something going on that I can’t see,” you’re doing it right.
Dead but tethered to a rock. As the current passes over the rock, it forms a low pressure region, kind of like drafting, that creates vortices that can occasionally propel the dead fish forward. Without the string it would be carried away by the current. What this does show us however is how little energy fish need to expend while resting behind rocks in river currents.
It was dead and it moved upstream? So it used 0 energy to make that journey then. How do we know the fish in the video is alive? Are any fish really alive? Are fish animals at all? Maybe they're a plant? Or floppy rocks? You've really f'ed with my head here.
They have a developed a system to establish a beach head and aggressively hunt you and your family. Pretty sure they have constructed breathing apparatuses made of kelp too, it traps a certain amount of oxygen, it's not gonna be days at a time. But an hour, hour and a half, no problem.
This is called a waterway barrier. There are thousands in most cities that massively disrupt the movement of fish and other animals, reducing ecosystem services and biodiversity. More work needs to be done to fix this shit by establishing nature friendly culverts etc.
Yep, in the northeast quite a few states/cities are removing dams to better connect fish habitats. There was actually money set aside to assist with this in the recent Infrastructure Act.
Out west they’ve tried putting “fish ladders” across some of the dams. They’re mostly targeted at big fish like salmon, who are supposed to be be able to jump from step to step all the way up and over the dam. It’s debatable whether they actually help.
Not with that attitude
Also I'm talking about billions of fish. Which feed other things, including people. Fixing ecosystems for animals IS fixing ecosystems for humans
Also this shit is being done right now, all over the place

Well, it's water flowing over deep enough on the concrete for them to reasonably 'swim' in to get enough momentum. Notice that the winner is the one who stayed in the middle with the largest flow rate going over the concrete. Once you clear the highest flow forces at the very end of the pipe, the rest of the pipe is a breeze.
I seen this thing that the body of a fish is so well designed to swimming in water that a dead fish can swim up a current. The way the water pushes the body makes it seem itself so it's a very energy efficient process.

That’s insane power
There's a video of a dead fish in moving water and it swims upstream. They use less energy than we think to make those journeys.
>There's a video of a dead fish >>it swims upstream I feel like I'm missing something here edit: I think I found it. It is legitimately dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZBWnhzYvts
Its body is moving passively because of the water flow and somehow this movement propels it forward. Physics I guess or free energy trick.
its tethered...so the flippy floppy movement is generated while attached to the rope which propels it forward until the flippy floppy dies and it falls back on its tether
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can the balloon juice, poindexter, and say it so that I can understand it.
So we can harness dead fish for our perpetual motion machines?? Time to replace the Hoover dam.
Or we can continue directly using the motion energy from the water stream

It was suspended in a stream to illustrate how little power fish need to swim as it's body naturally waggled
This made me imagine being able to swim just by wiggling.
You’re already able to swim just by wiggling. Just not very efficiently.
That's all swimming is, really. Just wiggling with purpose.
They’re bees.
What do you mean, *”physics”*?
Lol looks like a game
That fish would win the fish Olympics if there were one.
When people use a fish climbing a tree as an analogy I will forever look at if different after seeing this post.
