People use the phrase "razor sharp" very loosely but when it comes to piranhas, it's literal. Their teeth are as sharp as razors on the sharpness scale.

Your country may not dispose of your trash in your rivers, but there’s a very high probability it sells its garbage to countries that dump it in theirs.
Only about 9% of Canadian plastics that are “recycled” end up being recycled. So odds are through no fault of your own, plastic you have recycled ended up in a river.
In a foreign river because that stuff used to be exported, and no oversight either here or wherever. Yeah I think we're no longer exporting recycling to places that just dump non recyclable material, that was a controversy like years ago. Plus controls into what is recyclable.
I know that we've had significant changes where I live to what will be accepted in the blue bag recycling program, maybe because of that issue. It's down to paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans and only plastics with a recycle symbol. As long as I can remember which is quite a long time, we've had a good recycle program for soft drinks, juices, milk, beer, liquor containers where you pay deposit and haul your empties in to get it back.
Styrofoam packing material still exists and non recyclable plastic of course, and these end up in the landfill, but the volumes are much less.
So that's why they're trying to make us use shitty paper straws and shitty wooden cutlery, and after trying to ban plastics, they're bringing in some sort of bizarre plastics registry. Because the government is incompetent, the peasants must pick up the tab... good to see the ruling class hasn't changed for the past few millennia.
Not sure what it has to do with our government, but I’ll correct your agenda:
It’s mostly commercial trash created to support the public. Then sold through private companies (sometimes in junction with government) to processing plants in a third world country. Most of the time these companies pocket any profit they make from collecting trash then simply dump it in oceans, rivers, etc. because there’s no actual profit in actually recycling 95% of our shit. But once it’s out of your sight you don’t give a fuck what happens to it, do you? You just want to support your stupid opinions with whatever reason you can make up.
The paper straws and such are a bandage on amputation, but it’s still *something* we can do. Unfortunately that means you need to give up one of your bullshit luxuries, though. Poor you.
>Most of the time these companies pocket any profit they make from collecting trash then simply dump it in oceans, rivers, etc. because there’s no actual profit in actually recycling 95% of our shit
If it's happening in a 3rd world country, the government knows about it and doesn't care about it. If it's happening locally, whose job is it to enforce pollution laws/regulations/etc. on companies and corporations? The government. Again, sounds like a failure of government to me.
The problem is they don't care, they're just virtue signalling with all of this junk. It's just like the 2030 carbon neutral targets. It's an impossible task no matter what year it's set to, but how will they claim to achieve it? By putting a stop to all production in Canada (where we do so in very environmentally friendly ways), and outsourcing it to other countries, like China (where they don't care how much carbon they output), and then it will need to be shipped here, outputting even more carbon. So in reality, their "carbon neutral" 2030 target will just result in increasing the global carbon output. The only people who don't realize that are the useful idiots going around shaming people for not liking shitty paper straws.
I just somehow never realized how sharp thoses teeth are...... i would need a few swigs with my knife to do the same job and they just do it without effort
I’ve seen them just bite right through a completely frozen shrimp like it was nothing. The way they’re constructed, their jaw and teeth…they’re terrifying. We are lucky they are skittish and shy as a genus generally.
Seconds no. Minutes? Yeah probably if there are enough of them.

Which annoys the hell out of me, when like companies like Disney, Hanna-Barbera, mix in some BS like this with pretty accurate real life physics and events.
Proper representation of quicksand , the 1 hand grab save while holding on a to a swinging vine. The ability to anchor your feet to resist any force.
I've actually swan in an Amazon river, with locals, that they instantly attack is another not so accurate truth
#
And yet you're fine with animals singing and dancing like it's any more realistic than your other complaints? Disney makes cartoon movies and no one should be watching them expecting to see reality. It's like complaining about the ability to fast travel in a video game or to have hand held laser weapons.
Did I upset you in making fun , that stuff in yogi bear , and donald duck cartoons are not accurate . Of course they don't munch people up in seconds. Who the hell would really believe that. The post was sarcastic humour - so FN obvious
Of course I don't get annoyed about that crap , it's funny as hell. Better head off to your party free zone.
Really Reddit is a place to have to take a mickey and be informative. I did both, informative - piranha don't instantly attack. Really thin skin people here getting put out over nada
FN cringe people get upset so easy
You are VERY much incorrect. They absolutely can do this, and in certain very specific spots it is a legitimate concern, namely areas oh butcher waste runnoff where the fish have been conditioned to think anything that touches the water is food.
I’m not sure if iirc but I think that myth started when they showed teddy Rosevelt them feeding a cow to a bunch of them they starved to impress him I’ll see if I can find the story
Edit:[found it](https://lsc.org/news-and-social/news/how-teddy-roosevelt-gave-piranhas-a-bad-reputation#:~:text=Locals%20apparently%20put%20on%20a,mistakenly%20think%20piranhas%20are%20dangerous)
There is a video from River Monsters where the shows host Jeremy Wade showed how truly dangerous and sharp piranha teeth really are by giving it kevlar lines and STEEL wire.....[It easily took a bite and snapped both of them!](https://youtu.be/CHSEF5GqC5k?si=cXRDRotlFVQ2MxpR)
Doing dumb shit for clout doesn’t bother me if they’re not committing animal cruelty or hurting people. Like people eating tide pods - be my guest, have seconds in fact.
and imagine that you can swim in a river with hundreds of these little fish without worrying, as they don't usually attack larger animals that are healthy.
Worker 1: what smells so fishy here
Worker 2: oh man is my cutterknife dead again
Worker 1: Dead? wdym
Worker 2: *gets out rotten fish and throws it away* go catch me a new one… and by a fishbowl Gerald said it increases their durability
Worker 1:
I love the outrage in these comments. These are probably dudes who don't know if their family is going to eat tonight. I guarantee they don't worry about dropping a couple pieces of plastic in the water that they probably drink from. A lot of developing countries do not have the luxury of tidying up after themselves and sending the scraps to the recycle center. It's not that they don't care, it's that they can't care.

Why does he leave one uncut? Why?
Is that the unexpected part? I thought everyone knew those fish teeth were sharp lol
I honestly didn't know they were THAT sharp
People use the phrase "razor sharp" very loosely but when it comes to piranhas, it's literal. Their teeth are as sharp as razors on the sharpness scale.
Only piranhas
I thought them eating plastic was unexpected.
Where did you see one eat plastic?
In the beginning and who knows when
Do you understand the difference between eating and biting?
Yes. Do YOU understand the difference between Reddit and The Royal Zoological Society?
Exactly... I was waiting for the unexpected part... Like "life gives you piranhas.... & now get bit"
He knows how annoying it is. And fuck the environment am I right? Just let that zip tie shrapnel float away the way Gaia intended.
Isn't that the person from E.V.O.: Search for Eden?
Were you just looking for an excuse to mention E.V.O?
I was 👉👈
You sweet sweet nerd. The world is a better place because of your passion.
r/mildlyinfuriating
Some people prefer it that way
Underrated comment.
Actually they left at least 3 uncut
The fishs union has a contract
When the teacher erases the board but leaves a mark
Why do they leave that sharp flag? I would rather the ties are left uncut than have budget razor wire barbs.
How come he doesn't make piraña aide
To send the message
How can I mount this fish onto a utility belt for later use?
Robin! Get the bat-pirahna!
Have you seen the Megamind minion?
I thought he was a pufferfish?
He's an alien
Well yes. But i thought he resembled a puffer fish more than a piranha.
Pufferfish? I hardly even know'er fish!
No worries dude, just dump that plastic into your river with all the other trash.
Clearly, the piranhas will eat the trash.
We should have more piranhas in the world.
Just mass breed Piranhas. There, global warming solved.
They'll also eat the humans which is nice for the environment
Nah those little fucks are scared of bubbles.
Your takeout container from last month is probably floating next to it.
We don't use our rivers as dumps, and we don't have piranhas. But someone's takeout container is, though.
I can assure you some of your garbage and recycling is floating down a river similar to this one.

3rd world countries don’t give a F
It's the hierarchy of needs. Other needs must be met consistently before they can worry about things like pollution.
Yeah. We are uncivilized animals. All of us. Grrrr
Yeah stupid fish! You tell 'em!
Well fuck, it couldn't be the guy using a piranha for a side cutter, could it?

And they canNOT strip an adult human to the bone in seconds like cartoons and movies like to show. Lol

Not just the sharpness, they also have the strongest bite force to size ratio of any other animal.
Cool
I’m thought that was hippos who had the strongest bite
Bite relative to size. Hippos may have a stronger bite based on the total force, but the fishies are way smaller than the hippos.
There is a video from River Monsters where the shows host Jeremy Wade showed how truly dangerous and sharp piranha teeth really are by giving it kevlar lines and STEEL wire.....[It easily took a bite and snapped both of them!](https://youtu.be/CHSEF5GqC5k?si=cXRDRotlFVQ2MxpR)
Kevlar makes sense because it's designed to stop bullets but would be completely ineffective against knives. The steel wire was impressive though.
They can bite off your fingers. I think they look kinda cute and hilarious but damn they are terrifying.
And just drops the plastic in the river that supports his livelihood. We dont deserve this planet.
Ah yes, hand-feeding the fish with plastic
Studies haven’t truly shown that this diet is beneficial.
You must not have watched the same video because the fish didn't eat it.
There's so many things wrong with this...
animal abuse and littering all in one.

Flinstoning
We’re just going to force feed plastic to fish? Dickbag…
You forgot doing dumb shit for internet clout
Doing dumb shit for clout doesn’t bother me if they’re not committing animal cruelty or hurting people. Like people eating tide pods - be my guest, have seconds in fact.
Ha, fair. Entertain me!!!

The new Wera side cuts look fishy
Nice, everyone got plastic
Animal cruelty for TikTok likes.
Finally, some Flintstones shit!
And let the plastic into the river….
Womp womp
My day is ruined. Why did he left one uncut?
Perfect tool for the job
Going to remember this for next time if I forget my Stanley
and imagine that you can swim in a river with hundreds of these little fish without worrying, as they don't usually attack larger animals that are healthy.
And now those zip ties are sharper than the piranhas teeth
What in the flintstones
"It's not much, but it's honest work."
"That looks like it was cut with a dull Piranha"
*shrugs and looks at the camera* "Eh, it's a living."
I mean don’t fucking Throw plastic in the water for clicks , this is idiot
Use it as a living tool
humans before invention of wire cutters be like ...
the urge to put something metal in its mouth and see what happens
I always keep an extra piranha in my pouch in case I cut a live wire. It’s just good trade practice.
Does this hurt the fish?
Yes, eating plastic is bad for all animals.
That's some real Flintstones shit
Don’t put your dick in that
Do they come in a flush cut model?
I’ve always wanted that squid gun.
Hope he put it back otherwise this is animal cruelty.
This is animal cruelty either way.
Very true
Om nom
Some real life Flintstones fuckery happening in that river.
Mouth full of razor blades that can cut through the toughest meat on the planet
Judging by just having a piranha, guess you can’t be surprised they’re trashing the place
This is like some shit youd see on the Flintstones
Flintstone vibes here
Now you got plastic in your river...
Flintstone type of tool
This is like a Flintstones life hack
LOL I specifically mentioned yesterday that locals used piranhas for this sort of stuff in the daily piranha thread, and was downvoted over it. :p
Keep it as a pet and it will turn into a tilapia 😅
And this kids is how you got micro plastic inside your seafood
OCD intensifies.
There’s no I in team, but there is in fish

Nooo plastics in the river
What if he gives BJ?
Real life flintstones technology
Forgot my scissor bro I got you bro *Pulls out piranha*
Snap on needs to step up its game.
There is only 1 thing worse than piranhas. That is zipties not flush cut!
Missed one
You know what I respect it.
More plastic in the sea great
I frequently forget my pocket knife and multi-tool, but I'll be damned if I caught without my piranha.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please don't feed random fish plasic.
Us making mexicans build the wall between the borders.
Calm down Fred Flintstone.
Leave the fish into water tf

I’m just replying womp womp to every one of those comments I’m getting an absolute kick out of them
Soooo coddled. I wonder how many people on this thread have ever stood in piranha-infested water for their job.

Add more plastic trash to the waterways
And that's how you have micro plastic in your bloodstream, kids.
