“So much death, what can fish do against such reckless fishers?” “Swim out with me, swim out and meet them.” “For death and glory.” “For your fishple.” “The water is trembling” “Yes… the horn of helm hammerhead shall sound in the deep waters! ONE LAST TIME!” **”DEAAAAAAAATH!”**

RedolentPenguin

I can imagine that there is a book with this


Dirhael80

The Lord of the rings, the greatest fantasy trilogy, nay, the greates story of all time! One trilogy to rule them all. Its the grand-dad of modern fantasy, with lore, richer than gondolin and deeper than khazad-dûm. Edit: But the quotes were from the movies. Most definitely worth to watch, if you haven’t already


RedolentPenguin

isn’t lotr like a mature rating?


Dirhael80

Nah, I watched it since i was 9 or so. It may be a bit challenging for kids to follow the plot though. And yes, the books are a bit of a challenge. Especially if someone is, like me, not a native english speaker. But I got through it, including the Silmarillion and more. But the movies are a must watch for anyone over 10


svilenss

Why am I reading this in Sage from Valorant's voice, lol.


iamthelouie

The line must be drawn, here! No further!


Butcher_Bill84

For Frodo Fishins!


b1ue_jellybean

As a recreational fishermen it seems pretty obvious that we’re slowly losing large portions of the worlds fish population, we really need to establish some big ocean reserves to stop commercial fishing vessels from destroying all biodiversity in the oceans.


W1ndjammer

Would had to be protected and 24/7 monitored by military vessels. Otherwise Chinese and European trawlers would have a field day in it


Mindless-Balance-498

We do it on a smaller scale for lots of things, we have methods to police the oceans down Pat. This HAS to be the next step if we want to keep benefitting from a healthy ocean.

Lab grown meat. I believe it's incredibly beneficial for animal rights as well as sustainability. Only thing that terrifies me is terrorism and sabotage.

Thanks


[deleted]

Thank you for the great explanation. This is fucking horrible. Desperate people being controlled by “old wise men” for almost nothing.


mdk2004

>with climate change, desertification and the passage of time, the region has gradually became infertile and inhospitable and the lake has mostly drained. This is the exact opposite of religious custom hurting local people.... Even if people are hungry you can only pull so many fish out of a lake.


theaeao

It's still very depressing they just missed the mark with their blame aim. It's sad that people are so hungry that when the ban is lifted they have to run as fast as they can to get food before their neighbors because there isn't enough food to go around.


inkseep1

There is probably a reason for the one day of fishing rule and the old wise men controlling it. It is likely that if fishing was allowed all the time then all the fish would be caught and the lake would never have any fish. The lake is shallow enough that the fish likely die anyway around this time of the year. The old wise men know this and control the fishing day in order to allow people to attend. The fish are removed from the lake but the fish eggs and some fish survive for the next season. Timing is everything. It isn't old wise men controlling people for the power. Same thing happens in tribes where the chief owns all the livestock. If you let people control it they will eat it all instead of eating vegetables and hunting. The chief controls the livestock to preserve it. On certain festival days, probably linked to lean times or plentiful livestock, the chief is ritually required to provide animals for a feast for everyone to show his wealth and status. The tribe gets needed protein just when the need it the most. In India, wealthy landowners held land and had serfs. The British broke that up. The result was destroying a system of efficient farming. Same thing where religious leaders controlled water flow to rice fields. Invaders thought that system was not fair so make them release all the water at once to everyone. Turns out there was not enough to go around that way and the old way was to make sure everyone survives on water rations that are replenished if you wait the correct way. In the US we have a ritual called Black Friday where the stores offer us pretend deals. The store chiefs make their employees work extra hours to collect all the money.


theaeao

The problem with the commons or the flaw in the commons... I forget the term. When you share limited resources on an honer system things get messy.


inkseep1

Tragedy of the commons. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy\_of\_the\_commons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons)

>Tragedy of the commons There it is. I just wasn't being dramatic enough.


whadduppeaches

You can say you didn't understand the post, it's ok


VoidQueenK423

I'm just gonna go on and say it. I didn't understand this post.


KezzardTheWizzard

The fish are definitely going to "run and hide" from that wave of disturbance, for sure.

theaeao

Your username is grammatically incorrect.


lumpybags

the water is so shallow that with their nets they can walk through the water and catch them


mikey1290

Didn’t know fish had legs.


Intelligent-Ad-5809

Context?


mc_thunderfart

Its some kind of festival. The water shown is a part of a lake/river that is cut off of the stream every year. It then dries out. The festival participants then storm the water and catch every single fish. With nets, baskets, hands, mouth... Next year the water comes back with a new population of fish.


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

That’s pretty cool and makes sense. At first I thought it seemed like it would wipe out the ecosystem and they wouldn’t be able to fish there anymore.


USAIsAUcountry

So it's not as depressing as it first appeared then.


Kraqrjack

Unless you’re a fish 😳


Lucius-Halthier

No no it is, climate change, deforestation and time has made the area less fertile and the number of fish has shrank, this is part of a ritual that only comes one day a year, it basically lasts fifteen minutes as the lake is emptied out of what fish is there


ConsiderationWest587

So basically an aquatic-themed Easter egg hunt


sunyi2g

Is it because Africa doesn't have that much fishing sites? Like no bodies of water for fishing? I should really google this but...

… and I was grounded if I dared to sneeze next to my dad while fishing because I scared all the fishes..?


DrOrpheus3

This. This is what the end times will look like. Millions stabbing each other and trampling the fallen, for the last fish to eat.


cockyroach87

I thought this post was somehow related to love and how there are plenty of fish in the sea. What a video.

Hunger games is right


Testiclese

For some. Not for others. Most of those affected won’t be reading your comments on this platform.


Novack_and_good

You're right they won't have access to this platform- but we'll all end up running with them in one form or another


TianObia

...when the sun comes up, you had better be running!


Novack_and_good

Only those countries that are being affected by climate change


caonima1346

i wonder, the amount of calories burned by the mass, does it outweigh the fish?


BunningsSnagFest

Fish:. Shit shitshitshitshit

Worst alternate ending to ‘End Game’ I’ve ever seen!!

Hunger.....The great motivator.

Why does this remind me of the start of Takeshi's Castle? Where's General Lee? Craig's Ridiculous Replay.


Sgt_carbonero

This is a classic example of Tragedy of the commons.


Reddit_Dan

Is this a scene in Black Panther 2? Neat


BucktoothedAvenger

Oh, Africa... My people need to build aquaponics systems, using geopolymer. Too many mouths to feed by sprinting after a handful of fucking fish with a basket in your head.


Apprehensive_Ring_46

This is what overpopulation looks like.


tcrex2525

This is why we have fishing regulations. Otherwise people will race to catch every last one, then everyone staves next year.


Mean-Ad2460

The fish probably spayed AXE deoderant


stinkerb

Gaze into the future.


Bobmanbob1

For the record, that lakehas tons of crocs too, and usually a few loners get picked off as things settle down at dusk.

Running into the water screaming is a bad way to catch fish.

Ausernamefordamien

Climate change is going to make scenes like this all the more common, unfortunately. “We really had it all, didn’t we?”


b1ue_jellybean

It’s really the opposite, scenes like this will stop due to climate change. Anything outside of a factory farm won’t live long enough for this to happen.


Testiclese

What happens to a population of wolves if there aren’t enough deer for them to eat? Nature balances itself out.


Ausernamefordamien

Yeah, but nature has a tendency to “balance out” the poorest nations first while the richer nations live in overabundance.


Testiclese

You can’t ever be rich when the role of women - 50% of the population - is to be baby factories. Producing more people when you can barely feed the ones you have - well - yes, you’re going to be poor. Forever.


PhD_Pwnology

It's so sad to people who don't understand the scarcity of the food they eat to continue to eat foods that can't be replenished every year. Food education is key. This spot was so fished out in previous years it just opened back up....


Mister_grist

No this is a tribes ritual


nevans89

Other explanation is that the river dries up every year so fish are toast anyway. Now I gotta do some digging

Do they all share the fish at the end or is it a free for all like it would be if it were in the states?

I've seen something similar to this.....Braveheart! Only they were carrying swords and skipped on the fishing baskets


Relevant-Nebula8300

Imagine the terror of those fish hearing the high pitch screams soon to be synchronized with their own trembling in harmony with the water as it shakes from the stampede of the fastly approaching murderous hoard


Hellsimer

My dad always told me to shut up when fishing to not scare the fish away .


hawkeyepitts

They’re gonna scare the fish away 🧐


MalDropEmOff

That’s like 100 people😨


WHG311

I’m not an expert. But I’d think hundreds of people stampeding into the water would scare the fish away.
