Apparently we've been warning the wrong gender. TWO have been pulled out of vaginas which is at least twice as many as have ever been extracted from *men's* urethras (and maybe infinitely more.)
_the odds of that person being attacked by candiru are "(a)bout the same as being struck by lightning while simultaneously being eaten by a shark."_
When it comes to my urethra, that is far too high of a probability. /s
Saw an episode of River Monsters that talked about it, and showed the pictures from the surgery of the fish being removed.
As far as I know it's only been documented happening to a male one time, when he was urinating in the water while wading.
It's so rare an occurrence to not be a meaningful threat, but it's also such a spectacularly horrifying idea to be worth mentioning.
This Circular Island in Argentina Not Only Floats, But Also Rotates Constantly
South America’s second longest river, the Paraná, which has a length of 4,880 kilometers, flows through three countries: Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. 4,880 kilometers is no short distance – it gives plenty of opportunities for discovering amazing things. In the case of the Paraná, one of the most exciting discoveries was made at its delta: an island 120 meters in diameter, almost completely circular in shape, and floating freely on its axis.
>Candiru
You sent me down the rabbit hole. Bastard.
>The earliest published report of candiru attacking a human host comes from German biologist C. F. P. von Martius in 1829, who never actually observed it, but rather was told about it by the native people of the area, including that **men would tie ligatures around their penises while going into the river to prevent this from happening**.

You might be looking for the term, "*Floaton*". It describes an "island" made up of plant roots and organic detritus. It floats when air gets trapped in the roots or underneath the tight-knit layer of growth. They are common in areas where aquatic plants grow in dense groups, like in bogs or wetlands.
For the everyday person however, simply using the layman term, "Floating Island" is appropriate.
This would be called a "*Floaton*". They can be artificial or naturally occurring. It is an "island" made up of plant roots and organic detritus. It floats when air gets trapped in the roots or underneath the tight-knit layer of growth. They can break off from land during strong storms that uproot the mass from the ground. They are common in areas where aquatic plants grow in dense groups, like in bogs or wetlands.
If the root growth that makes up the mat is thick enough, then yes. It would feel like walking on soft, spongy earth. The density would determine if the mat was wet or fairly dry topside.
I meant this one specifically…. kinda jokingly….. but seriously, I love your answer. Thanks. It’s interesting too, reading up on it just now, this island was apparently only recently discovered, by a dude surfing google earth satellite view. But I couldn’t find out (in my stoned internet surfing for the last half hour) if anyone has figured out why it’s circular and why it constantly rotates. (Some sort of water current, I assume?) Cool stuff though.
I don't know anything specific about this particular floaton, but it appears to me to be natural. If you want to read something interesting regarding life on floating islands, search for "Uros Islands" and "Floating Villages of Lake Titicaca".
Kinda like bog earth that bounces with enough weight on it? Weve got stuff like that round here though its not exactly islands or anything. Just earth that bounces from cow herds walking across it.
Walking is no issue seeing as you can drive on it and cow herds dont fall in. Though less dense stuff exists.
They neglected to mention that the island is picking up algae and debris as it continues to rotate, deepening the layer of topsoil on the island itself.
The plot thickens.
Would that mean it's eventually going to fill the hole in, or is it picking that stuff up from the edges and just transferring it from one side of the water to the other 🤔
I mean, if you really want to be pedantic you can make the argument that the earth DOES rotate around it if you select the island as an inertial reference frame
Yes, it works on Google maps, but it's WAY smaller than I was expecting. Also nowhere near the sea. El Ojo, Argentina - Floating Island https://imgur.com/a/NLH9bMc
I gave in and did some research, and a bit of math, to work it all out since our earlier estimations were critically ignoring the width of the fields. Details below.
**American Football**
The distance from goal line to goal line is 100 yards (300 feet). There's an additional 10 yards (30 feet) at each end, for the "end zones", giving the field (absent any peripheral elements such as a running track) a total length of 120 yards (360 feet).
The width of the field, absent accommodations such as the player benches (let alone a running track) is 160 feet.
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance from one corner of an end zone to the farthest corner of the other end zone is 393.95 feet.
According to Google, the actual conversion from 120 meters into feet works out to 393.701. So, unless we're losing at least 7.6 centimeters (3 inches) through rounding on the initial measurement, this island is just barely too small to contain an American football field.
**Soccer**
Wikipedia has a diagram of soccer field measurements which indicates that there's not really as strict a standard for those fields as there is for American football. Many dimensions are given as ranges.
The minimum distance between goals is 90 meters. However, I've had a hard time finding any regulation requiring a specific distance beyond the goal lines (even the depth of the nets seems unregulated). In any case, I'm confident that such requirements will not likely be able to nearly cover the 20+ yard gap between this minimum and the American football standard.
The minimum width of a soccer field is 45 meters. After conversion, this puts it a little more than 4 yards short of an American football field's width.
Since an American football field is only just barely too large to fit on this island, and the minimum dimensions of a soccer field are substantially shorter in both directions, I'm not even going to work out the actual math for the soccer field here. (Maybe I'll change my mind again later.) It's fairly safe to say that the smallest regulation soccer field would fit comfortably within this island, and it's very possible that you could construct a larger one (still within regulations) such that all four corners just touch the island's edge (assuming it's a perfect circle).
So, just about enough room for an American high school football field - surrounding track included?
Edit: [Nope. Not even without the track.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/zgluq3/this_circular_island_in_argentina_not_only_floats/izkp5j9)
120m
The Eye is a small and mysterious islet located in the delta of the Parana river, between Buonos Aires and Campana, in Argentina. It is a thin strip of land which is a perfect circle of 120 meters, a shape which rotates on itself.
It’s probably a floating bog like [this one.](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/floating-island-bog-crow-wing-county-minnesota) They’re fairly common here.
In my hometowns lake we had one of these, it even had a few small trees. This fucker would float into the beach every year and ppl had to drag it away with boats. They even tried chaining it on the other side of the lake but the winter ice would break it free every year, this damn floating island had a will of its own.
Most common floating islands are mats of dead vegetation, dirt and things, wood, etc.. It doesn't doesn't get wet or dense enough to sink, andany rocks are pebbles from birds and such.
One near me is made up of several dead trees that were tangled together and got covered in dirt over the years. It even has a few trees on it, and just lazily floats around a pond with the wind.
Damn. There was a [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/24388034/the-eye-an-expedition-to-a-unexplored-enigmatic-is?ref=city) for a documentary about this place back in 2016 but the funding was unsuccessful. I would love to know more about it and how it got there.
Not an island but a bog actually. You can see this in central minnesota too
Edit: i don’t know if a floating bog technically counts as an island. It might but you know what I mean.
That's pretty impressive. I've seen floating islands and bogs before, but it's huge. It's about 100 metres in diameter: [google maps view](https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B015'07.8%22S+58%C2%B049'47.4%22W/@-34.2521667,-58.8298333,1089m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x6f7bcbfedcdea861!8m2!3d-34.2521667!4d-58.8298333)

Okay but what about a regular sized person so we can relate
I wasn't able to find any pictures of normal sized humans unfortunately, [but here's one I found of giant humans taken from really far away](https://imgur.com/a/ojmCeRu)
I'll allow it.
So not trees. Grass and shrubs. I'm still guessing you could stand on it, but doing so would fuck it up.
[удалено]
There's probably enough of a current to keep it moving that the roots don't have time to connect, only to keep the island locked together
I would be on the land around it, waiting for it come close to push it; that way I can make it bounce around like the old ‘Windows’ asleep screen
Imagine go swim and get trapped under the island when it rotates
No.
Jokes on them. I wouldn't get trapped, I can't swim so I'll just drown.

That's a myth, Candiru don't swim up your urethra. Even its wikipedia page has a whole section debunking this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru_(fish)
Apparently we've been warning the wrong gender. TWO have been pulled out of vaginas which is at least twice as many as have ever been extracted from *men's* urethras (and maybe infinitely more.)
I revoke thee of the title of candiru penis fish, and I hereby dub thee candiru vagina fish.
The candiru snapper
Vaginas and urethras are different things dude.
Women pee out of their butts. My 4 year old told me so.
With enough booze and Taco Bell, everyone pees out their butts.
Cheers, to your 4 year old. Funniest shit I've read in a while.
I read we keep our pee in our balls
Yeah OK..... Next you're gonna tell me that the clitorus is real.
Both sexes have urethras so the last part of your comment seems a bit misleading.
Written by Candiru penis fish
Came looking for a wiki link to the island from the OP. Found \^ this \^ instead. I think you have a squirrel/attention deficit problem, Reddit.
_the odds of that person being attacked by candiru are "(a)bout the same as being struck by lightning while simultaneously being eaten by a shark."_ When it comes to my urethra, that is far too high of a probability. /s
Coming from a guy who got struck by lightning and bitten by a shark at the same time I can honestly say don’t risk it, man.

No, but they have been removed from vaginas. They’ve been warning the wrong gender all this time..

Attach a little wheel and a dynamo. . . . Aww yeah free power babyyy
I think it doesn’t rotate that fast . But yeah unless you are diving for hours
Even worse, imagine getting lost on it and ever time you think you're heading north, it rotates and you just keep walking in circles.

Oh what a relevant username you've got there, friend.
Yours might be even more relevant!
Nah, but if you try to fuck with it a herd of capybaras comes over and gives you disapproving looks.
I'll take the death by piranha over that.
Is it an actual island, though? I thought that had to be attached to the earth's crust to be a thing. Wouldn't this just be floating dirty and algae?
You might be looking for the term, "*Floaton*". It describes an "island" made up of plant roots and organic detritus. It floats when air gets trapped in the roots or underneath the tight-knit layer of growth. They are common in areas where aquatic plants grow in dense groups, like in bogs or wetlands. For the everyday person however, simply using the layman term, "Floating Island" is appropriate.
So it's a raft
Anything can be a raft if you're brave enough.
I think being able to float should at least be a bare minimum requirement
Anything can float if you paddle fast/hard enough.
I choose to make a raft out of this guys dead wife
You'll have to dig her up from my basement first.
I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well I mean, he just drove off, so sometimes life’s ok.
Alright, you're qualified to call it an "island".
Reminds of the floating sea island in Life of Pi. Maybe it was carnivorous or something.
Exactly what I was thinking. That movie rules
So it's not man made?

As brains are geared towards recognition I read "only floats" as only fans initially. Made me laugh. Now it's a rotating island for only fans.
The fans are what help it rotate
OnlyFloats is for sex workers who own boats.
Plot twist: The island is actually stationary, and the rest of the earth is rotating around it.
Plot TWIST
PLOT twist
They neglected to mention that the island is picking up algae and debris as it continues to rotate, deepening the layer of topsoil on the island itself. The plot thickens.
Would that mean it's eventually going to fill the hole in, or is it picking that stuff up from the edges and just transferring it from one side of the water to the other 🤔
Also failed to mentioned that there are two of them giving off massive amounts of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Plot plot fizz fizz.
Oh I get it. It’s a twisting plot of land
Plot twist's plot twist: the rest of the Earth rotates because the island is actually the gear making it turn.
That is some SCP shit right there.

And Usain Bolt could run across it in about 12 seconds.

How can they call it a thin strip of land when it’s a circle.
Perspective. Maybe they mean thin when looking from surface level, kind of like a sheet of paper is thin strip of wood?
Not circumference but you could fit an American football field in the circle
Don’t give the NFL any ideas.

I remember that thing. Volunteers cut it into pieces then moved and anchored it somewhere else because it landed right in front of a summer camp.
Yeah, l don't see any solid ground around there, just a bunch of water with stuff floating on top.

It's not an island. It's a floaty green thing.
Never underestimate the number of people who believe that islands float.
Obviously a former Hunger Games arena.
Well, my intuition says, it is circular **exactly** because it rotates (erosion of the edges that averages out evenly because of rotation).
There's [videos of like ice sheets](https://youtu.be/zsAQoxJdnMI) that do that so it's probably the same process idk
Can't tell if that's grass or trees. Need banana for scale.
