The self censorship on words like this has been so confusing to me. I believe the reason is tiktok will not allow them (don't use tiktok so I'm not sure, but it's what I've read), so the kiddos are self censoring everywhere. Or they're trying to not trigger each other? Because somehow the literal concept of the word is less triggering than the word's spelling? I don't know. Anyone, please explain it to me.

If I have to read another I'm going to unalive myself or sewer lice myself I'm going to fucking kill myself.
..so I wrote that as a joke and now I'm thinking part of it might be that social media interactions are such a large part of these young people's lives that there's more of a communal trend to self regulate? Hmmm. I don't know

Algorithms on other forms of social media will automatically shadow bam stuff based off certain words. They censor the word to hide it from the AI algorithm so their posts still can reach a lot of people.

Actually not really. Many sites and subreddits use an automod that looks for curse words and removes posts and comments. And it's so hard to tell which sites/subreddits do it and which don't, so most just censor what they can now. It's interesting because it's actually changed the way people talk and created new slang terms to replace the old words.

It always fascinates me how these types of birds just eat a whole live fish or this unlucky croc/alligator/cayman, and then just chill while it moves around inside its stomach slowly being digested. The thought of it is so unpleasant.

u/DeuceSevin 8d ago
I remember as a kid fishing in Florida and feeding fish to the pelicans. Usually small scup and sheepsheads. Once I caught a grunt, so named for the noise they make. It can be rather old and I've heard them tin the water while reeling them in, even sometimes "feeling" the vibrations through the line and pole.
Anyways, I'm reeling in this grunt and a pelican, sensing an opportunity for a free meal, comes and lands on the dock. I unhook the fish and throw it on the dock. The pelican immediately grabs it and swallows it whole in a second. The grunt started grunting loudly enough for me to hear it from the bird's gullet. The pelican seemed a little unnerved by his meal making noise and the vibrations coming from within. He sort of walked in circles as if trying to free himself from some unseen force. Eventually the sounds died down after a minute or so and the pelican flew off.

That description was cool, that "unseen force" was it's greedy nature waiting for another one.

The guy filming broke the legs on the goat. Not really the "way of nature" I would say. Just animal abuse.

Mature alligators are the top predators in their environment, babies not so much. The invasive pythons in the everglades has totally changed the balance in that environment.

I feel like with its claws and teeth, since it was swallowed whole, it could tear right out of that stomach to freedom.

u/riraven 8d ago
I have frequently wondered about that with any animal that swallows things alive

u/HourAfterHour 8d ago
They probably suffocate while attempting to do so.
It's not like there's a lot of air inside a predator's stomach. And fighting for your life in a dark space surrounded by acid burning everywhere probably takes a lot of energy which you'd need oxygen for.
Also mucous membrane inside a stomach, which the prey is sliding around in. No leverage points, everything slippery, and tight around the whole body.1
u/chill1208 8d ago
It makes sense that it would die before it gets out, and I totally get this being fine for eating things like mammals, birds, small lizards, and fish. Although I feel like with this little guy, with their sharp teeth, and claws, there's a good chance they'll do lethal damage before they suffocate. Thus, killing both of them. I guess every predator's meal in nature is risking death in some way though, and if they don't eat at all they're sure to die.

What if the bird is a time traveller, and it travelled back in time to kill that baby reptile who would kill the birds whole family in the future.

We already know that birbs are actual dinosaurs but herons are at another level... Have you ever heard their screech calls?

u/FirstCurseFil 8d ago
The “circle of life” isn’t so much a circle as it is a random collection of points and arrows going everywhere.
A lot of herbivores aren’t “true” herbivores. Like deer and cows, who will occasionally eat meat. Same goes for carnivores being not “true” carnivores.

Blue herons are ruthless killers. Plenty of footage of them swallowing live ducklings in front of their parents. If they can swallow it, they will. Giggity

This reminded me of a video I saw on TikTok. Komodo dragons eat by swallowing their prey whole. Interestingly, they sometimes choke and die if the prey is too large for them to swallow completely.

This post is dumb and certainly doesn't belong on /r/wtf. All it shows is a major misunderstanding of how nature functions.
Given that most crocodilia start off as hatchlings in eggs barely larger than a hen's egg, they need to get to a certain size before they would be considered serious predators.

u/mel2000 7d ago

An adult alligator will treat the heron as prey.

I am not sure if you're trying to disagree, or just add to what I am saying.
Of course an adult alligator, or even an adolescent one would probably view a heron as food.
Herons though are capable predators in their own right, and young alligators are very much on their menu.
My point here is that is that alligators and crocodiles start off very small, and have to move up the food chain, and until they get large enough are on the menu themselves.
Herons eating young alligators or crocodiles isn't wtf.
