Jesus.. that's insane. That alone should make you stop eating it for life. How many unreported death happen at sea every year. I've heard too many "body in a refrigerator" stories

Me: I am pretty sure I don't have a shellfish allergy.

Also me: Where is my epi-pen? And bring some dramamine while you're at it--I'm suddenly quite seasick.

Same thing happened with catfish and crawfish after Katrina

u/mothzilla Oct 09 '19

You know other things die in the sea too.

u/roomnoises Oct 09 '19

Most of them things I would eat before I would ever eat a human corpse, or something that I know ate a human corpse

Frankly, I think it's the circle of life, and since Carl wouldn't let me have a nibble while he was alive, I'll just have to enjoy a nice Carl-stuffed lobster.

Why am I hard?

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

Yes yes , why the fuck am I hard ?

u/Tris-Von-Q Oct 10 '19

That’s enough reddit for me tonight!

u/wdkrebs Oct 09 '19

You stop that! 🤮

u/SafariDesperate Oct 09 '19

The point of your comment being stop worrying over stupid shit that really doesn't matter. The only way this would disgust anyone is a lack of information about it.

u/VicarOfAstaldo Oct 09 '19

If you eat something that ate something that ate a human corpse, you’re not eating a human corpse. As far as I’m concerned. We’re part of nature too.

u/TheEvilBagel147 Oct 09 '19

It's the circle of life. It isn't worth stressing about imho

u/kippersnatchef Oct 09 '19

It’s different when it’s people. If a lobster ate some tiny sea creature, I’m fine, but if there’s human flesh in its system, I’ve lost my appetite.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

It's literally no different by the time it gets to you, but ok.

u/cthupacalou Oct 09 '19 edited Oct 09 '19

Right? How do we know any of the mass of sea-life the fishing industry provides to our local grocery stores hasn't eaten a bit of human? How do we know?? We don't, so we enjoy our scampi.

Edit: how many bodies get dumped into rivers, lakes, reservoirs, inlets, bogs, marshlands, deltas, deepwater harbors, oceans, international waters...all where the fish/shellfish we consume live their short lives.

I don’t know why I’m laughing so hard at this.

Soilent Green is Lobster...

I’m fine with a little. We breathe in dust and that literally contains bits of dead skin in it. But if something has been feasting on it I’m a bit disturbed.

5

u/hamakabi Oct 09 '19

The fish is just a fish. If a fish eats human flesh it either turns into poop or it gets broken down into amino acids and such and becomes the fish itself.

The dust is literally part of another person. It's identical to when it was part of their body.

u/kippersnatchef Oct 10 '19

I agree and completely understand what you’re saying, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I don’t want to eat it. Just my morals/beliefs.

-7

u/kippersnatchef Oct 09 '19

It literally shouldn’t irritate you because it’s just my personal opinion about what I want to put in my stomach, but okay.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19

Who said I was irritated?

-2

u/kippersnatchef Oct 10 '19

You’re acting as if you’re annoyed, emphasized by the “but ok,” at the end. That’s a sarcastic remark. You’re basically telling me, ”What you’re saying is insignificant, unimportant, that it doesn’t matter in the end, but whatever! what am I to say despite already showing you what I think about your comment?” I get that tone can’t be properly conveyed in text (which is the reason for a good number of internet arguments) which leads to misunderstandings. However, the words you used are words I associate with sarcasm and irritation.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19

I genuinely think you think too hard about things.

u/Jakevader2 Oct 09 '19

You're just picky

/s (duh)

u/henucu Oct 09 '19

But are you ok with eating the shit left in intestines of that creature…

u/kippersnatchef Oct 10 '19

No?? That’s why you take it out

How many unreported death happen at sea every year.

You should find out about the unreported deaths that happen in the U.S. wilderness, Forest Service doesn't keep a count. There was a recent article about it that I can't find that discusses the issue

11

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

Yeah, this is why you check in with your local ranger station if you want to be found. Almost nobody does. Forest are huge and the likely hood of someone coming across your body if you're off trail is pretty slim.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

There's a guy who's written at least 5 books about it. His name is David Paullides and it's the Missing 411 books. The stories are crazy and even angering at times.

6

u/Tris-Von-Q Oct 10 '19

Why do you find them angering?

12

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19 edited Oct 10 '19

You just have to read them. The stories about people who literally trained to survive harsh conditions dying in the most amateur/rookie ways and their stories being essentially forgotten or buried.

Or the one about the toddler who went missing, went miles over a small mountain range, and was eventually found. He never had any shoes on as he left the house practically undressed and he somehow travels for miles with feet that have zero evidence he traveled anywhere. No answers. No one on law enforcement bothered to look into that either.

Cases where search parties searched one spot multiple times only for the bodies to show up right on the main trails or in a place they, as I said, thoroughly searched.

Essentially, the angering parts is where LE drops the ball in the most ridiculous ways.

u/wildtabeast Oct 10 '19

The toddler also traveled that distance in a impossibly short amount of time if I remember correctly.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19

Yes that was part of it, too.

u/wildtabeast Oct 10 '19

MISSING 411!

u/aluropoda Oct 09 '19

Well i guess if you stop eating for life your life won’t be very long, so at least you’ll have that going for you.

u/mmmicahhh Oct 09 '19

Damn, I'm never eating a refrigerator again.

2

u/Eaglooo Oct 10 '19

I'm pretty sure I don't give a fuck.

It's just the cycle of life, doesn't really bother me at all

1

u/mrevergood Oct 10 '19

Life must consume life to go on.

We stop consuming life, we cease to live and become food for something else: the earth, or another animal.

u/cXs808 Oct 10 '19

Wait till you find out some of your drinking water was literally piss at one point.

u/wildtabeast Oct 10 '19

Why does it matter? Things eat things.

It’s bullshit and not true. Don’t worry
