Didn't a few of these dipshits accidently drown themselves a few months ago?

[–] Dengalicious@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, a shark is less dangerous to itself to be fair

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Less dangerous to an Iraqi child as well

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Yeah because I think both of them were wearing a 100lb of tacticool gear and the first guy slipped and sank like a rock and then the next one that went after him never resurfaced. Crabs probably got some tasty treats though.

Yeah, it's a part of their doctrine that if someone in your 2 man team goes overboard, you dive in after them.

In calm waters, this boosts the chance of survival

In rough waters, at night, winter, in rough seas, wearing camo, where you were boarding an enemy vessel? They both died.

However, since the US military operates on a "if we don't find a corpse, they're MIA/POW", add another 2 people to the MIA/POW list. Poseidon is holding 2 USian dipshits hostage, possibly in Indochina. Gotta declare war on the ocean like Caligula

I'd sooner trust a shark around my kids

The rest of the navy has boats planes can land on. Dudes with flippers and guns aren't a genuine aquatic threat to anything. Also orcas are the mist dangerous predator in the ocean to not humans and fucking jellyfish are the most dangerous

One navy seal vs a 0.2 inch jellyfish

I'm not even kidding there is a tiny jellyfish that is apparently really dangerous

The Irukandji jellyfish are any of several similar, extremely venomous species of rare box jellyfish. With a very small adult size of about a cubic centimetre (1 cm3 or 0.061 in3), they are both one of the smallest and one of the most venomous jellyfish in the world.

They fire their stingers into their victim, causing a condition known in humans as Irukandji syndrome, which can be fatal and difficult to immediately recognise due to the delayed effects of the venom.

Irukandji jellyfish's stings are so severe they can cause fatal brain hemorrhages and on average send 50–100 people to the hospital annually.

Robert Drewe describes the sting as "100 times as potent as that of a cobra and 1,000 times stronger than a tarantula's".

Between 1 January and early December 2020, 23 stings, seven of which required admission to hospital for Irukandji syndrome, were sustained in the waters around Palm Island, off northern Queensland.

It is unknown how many other deaths from Irukandji syndrome have been wrongly attributed to other causes like heart attacks and drownings.

I fucki g love learning about new animals. There are so many lil guys our there thar can easily kill a navy seal

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The guy who researched the toxicity of irukandji tested it on himself. I think he also tested it on his son who died to it (will double check this fact)

Okay the son didn't die to it but it hurt a lot

I saw a spider the size of my smartphone last night

I simply opted not to go near it

100% survival strategy so far

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

When I was a kid watching who's line is it anyway and they did that thing where Wayne Brady makes up a song about an audience members job and I'd never heard of a Navy Seal and misheard it as Baby Seel and my parents had to explain that one

Sharks won't do war crimes to you for no reason
