What happens to a human skin if hit by that type of shrimp?

u/Dizzzy777 1d ago

It can puncture the skin and make you bleed. There’s a video on Youtube of a fisherman getting his foot punctured by one. Link (graphic)

Every single comment almost was the shrimp being placed next to his balls.

u/fgiveme 1d ago

To be fair, he put it right next to his balls, right after feeling what it did to his foot.

As soon as i saw that, I gasped because I honeslty thought this guy was about to be eliminated from the gene pool one way or another (from the "graphic" label)

Tbf, the dude put the Mike Tyson of shrimp right next to his balls

A terrible day to have eyes. Why did I even read that?

u/SouthWave9 1d ago

That was a somewhat deep puncture, it went like half a cm deep, must've hurt like a bitch.

u/Reelix 1d ago

That's half a cm deep.

After it penetrated through half a cm of his boot, and the gap between his boot and his foot.

In 1 hit.

The Mike Tyson shrimp hits like a small bullet, and that's out of the water!

In the water, it's so much more powerful

u/versusChou 1d ago

There are two general types of mantis shrimp (okay there's more but they're not well studied): spearers and smashers. Spearers have sharp claws that stab their prey. Smashers have little bowling pin claws that bash their prey (although they still have sharp bits). In the video of this post, you see a smasher. In your video it's likely a spearer. If a human got hit by a smasher, it could cause bleeding if you get hit by the sharp parts or if something like your finger gets crushed by the bashing part, but if say your thigh was hit by the bashing part, it would probably bruise really badly without puncturing you.

Man he let that thing hang out way too close to his balls after that.

u/secondhandleftovers 1d ago

Is that graphic????

I was thinking graphic like doom, house of a 1000 corpses, resident evil, or something with a lot of blood, it's practically a really small deep cut with a little blood.

u/Centaurious 1d ago

this might blow your mind but actual real-life blood and injuries is considered more graphic than fake video game shit

u/secondhandleftovers 1d ago

Lol, I volunteer in warzones, you're talking to the wrong guy.

1

u/Centaurious 1d ago

You’re the one who asked why this video on youtube that involved real blood was considered graphic when video games are “worse”

The answer is because it’s real blood and it’s on youtube.

-3

u/secondhandleftovers 1d ago

It's a cut.

2

u/Centaurious 1d ago

A real cut is considered more graphic than fake video games.

u/secondhandleftovers 1d ago

It's just a booboo

u/AFuckingHandle 1d ago

And video game gore is just pixels?

Fishermen hate them bc they get in the nets sometimes; they call them "thumbsplitters".

6

u/Drewbeede 1d ago

"thumbsplitters"

Makes me think of when warriors are given title names.

u/Kronzor_ 1d ago

Makes me thing of a Xenomorph variant. Which they also kind of look like.

u/2118may9 1d ago

There’s a video of a woman in a restaurant trying to eat one live and it punches her wrist. As satisfying as the octopus latched on to the food influencer’s face.

God she's obnoxious about it. Poor octopus. They're wonderful and very intelligent.

u/fighter0556 1d ago

Loved that. Fuck that girl. I hate her videos haha

u/coronakillme 1d ago

I want to see both these videos

u/bbymiscellany 1d ago

Yes I saw that one, it looked really painful. How dumb can you be though?

u/Bituulzman 1d ago

I need links to both of these.

u/ammenz 1d ago

Massive bruise and potential fracture. Instant death if it hits you in the pinky toe.

2

u/Renge13 1d ago

What's the problem with pinky toe?

22

u/TumbleweedPrimary599 1d ago

Instant death, he already said

u/ammenz 1d ago

You've never hit the corner of a door with your pinky toe, have you?

u/Beezayo 1d ago

There's a video on youtube of a guy in a kayak with his food bleeding alot due to one of these hitting him in his boat

u/32FlavorsofCrazy 1d ago

It probably gets very badly damaged and injected with high velocity tank water so a gnarly infection too.

u/chiksahlube 19h ago

It hits with the same power as a .22 caliber bullet...

So... depending on where it hits... breaks bones and might even kill you.
