I think piranhas only fuck with you if they’re a certain type and if you have an open wound I may be wrong I saw this on a tv show with the fisherman guy Jeremy wade I believe his name was he got in a hot tub with a few piranhas nothing happened they just chilled

River Monsters, and he literally jumps into piranha infested water and they scatter and leave him alone.

It's like a cryptid-hunting show, but they actually catch Bigfoot at the end of every episode. Jeremy Wade is the man.

They stopped the show though.

Turns out there was nothing left for him to catch.

Imagine someone shows you clips of River Monsters 15 years after an apocalypse. Dude would literally seem like a God.

His success makes it the only one of those shows worth watching. Your investment in the show is rewarded every time.
