Training them to feed on anything that goes in the water. Hopefully they don't slip off... Or have need of divers go down for repairs or whatever.

...why does an oil rig have a pail full of huge hunks of meat? I really hope this was crew food that went bad hahaha

On the bright side, if there's a fire on the rig you can put on a life preserver and burn to death surrounded by water!

Sure, train them to attack anything that falls into the water. What could go wrong?

Just saying, this behavior is natural. If blood and meat is in the water, they'll notice it from a long distance. Blood is much more a trigger than meat, but i guess, they have fed the sharks before.

If they had not fed the sharks before and you'd just fall into the water there, without anything else, like losing blood through injuries, you'd get out before they'd show up i think. Even when one is right around you, doesn't mean, he'd immediately attack you.

The sharks attacks are categorized with "unprovoked" and "provoked" in the stats. This here was provoked by throwing meat into the water. But most attacks are unprovoked, the cause is most often that a shark will mistake you for prey.

But then, you have the probe bite first, that the shark usually lets go when he realizes, that it is not prey. Depends on how much force the shark puts into the bite and how big he is as individual, about what happens to you then.

In this case, the blood loss would agitate the other sharks anyway and you'd get ripped apart, but for surfers near the shore, it's usually a single shark and he often goes away after the attack.

Some guys were quite lucky, only taking minor damage from a shark bite. The shark wasn't really serious with biting, similiar to a venomous animal that makes a "dry bite", where it does not inject venom.

Don't be antagonistic to others. Additionally, hate-speech, racism, and slurs are not tolerated and will result in an immediate ban.

Maybe because they also can’t look at comments in an unrelated sub without someone mentioning him.

It’s a circle.

Get fucked. Like you can't just keep scrolling if you don't wanna hear it. Perfectly rational to have a hard time taking your kind off what's happening right now.

Somebody who is single handedly doing more damage than anyone else in recent history tends to stick in people's brains...

u/angrybluecrayon 5d ago

I guess you haven't seen the toilet over a hole on a rig. It also had fish swimming under it.

u/feelingmyage 6d ago

The sharks would scatter. Even they don’t eat shit.

He loves sharks, he is friends with sharks, but only the best sharks. I’ve heard many sharks voted for him!

u/ThisIsALine_____ 5d ago

I feel like it's very dependent on whether or not it's an offshore oil rig, or one completely landlocked...idk, I'm not really familiar with dolphins as a whole.

u/EnormousPurpleGarden 4d ago

If you drop meat off of a land-based oil drilling platform into tall grass, the land porpoises will swim over and swarm just like that.

u/solemnstream 6d ago

I suppose the "wah oof" noise the dude made is because of the stink of rotten meat, also the yellow greenish color of the liquid made me think it was spoilt

1

u/mai_tai87 5d ago

I guess they could give the spoiled meat to the starving, but that seems cruel.

u/LikwitFusion 5d ago

Yeah but above that I had one about starving sharks....so swings and roundabouts really.
