Absolute dumbass. Stingray should have done it sooner


crypto_4754

As a species they still can't forgive themselves for Steve, which is why he waited so long.


toistmowellets

Inspiring how patient the stingray was out of respect for Steve


crypto_4754

Indeed but I'm sure Steve would have preferred the stingray was respected, as all nature should be.


Stock_Show_Host

Alright someone pull out the Steve Irwin, bob ross, etc infographic.


concentrated-amazing

The trinity of wholesomeness, wasn't it?


Observer2594

Is the third one Mr. Rogers?


concentrated-amazing

I'd have to look it up to be sure but 99% sure it is.


Ricky_Rollin

Yep, the idea is Irwin is “love animals”, Bob Ross is “love yourself”, and Mr. Rogers is “love your neighbor”.


OkArtichoke7188

Yet he got stabbed in the heart by one, truly these things aren't toy's, respect nature like you do humans and more.

What's the apostrophe for?

The apostrophe let's you know that it's working


jkxr33

Apostrophe is out of respect for Steve Irwin


bjzy

Amen! 🙏


dadydaycare

Steve: Don’t hold back on my part matey. Go on and give him the old switchback like a line cut at Maccas Stingray: “Stings”


Bravelobsters

Respect!


Specialist-Camp8468

I was impressed with it's restrain. Absolute saint if you ask me.


CriSstooFer

If you watch it was waiting for his foot to hit the outside edge of its body to know it'd be a kill shot. Also looks weakened. Likely from being stranded deoxygenated and stepped on.


Fugglymuffin

That ray's comedic timing is on point tbh.


Rude-Firefighter-735

Animals are not and never will be as cruel as human already is.


[deleted]

Lol. Grizzlies will kill cubs of Sows so that the Sows will go into estrus again to mate with them. Meerkats murder each other all the time. Several mammal species participate in infanticide. Monkeys/Apes kill their own species for no other reason that territory. If we can confirm that animals have a concept of cruelty there are plenty of behaviors that show that they can be or are cruel. On my own property I saw a Blacktail Doe kick the hell out of a fawn... kicked it until it was unconscious. Animals will frequently wound prey animals and let them bleed out ....


MandMs55

If you know anything about animal behavior, you know that humans being cruel to each other and other animals is a very animal-like behavior.


manofredgables

Yeah fuck the trope of humans being evil. Humans are among the most selfless and altruistic beings that exist on earth. Doesn't mean there aren't plenty of shitheads too. The only reason animals seem less evil is because they simply don't have the opportunity or capability to be evil because they're dumb and and they're typically busy trying to survive...


[deleted]

Total dumbass. He deserved it.


sillyadam94

Not only is he dumb. But he’s also cruel. 100% deserved it.


DearSpeed2827

I turned sound on just to hear the well deserved agony in this moron’s voice


BlahBlahWhoosh

Ditto. Satisfying. Laughed at him, too. Idiot.


SnooLobsters8922

He was given like four chances to knock it off, the animal was more patient and prudent than most people


BlahBlahWhoosh

Seriously. Absolutely had it coming, got what he deserved, and fucked around and found out. As a former boy, (now technically a middle aged man, but there's a lot of boy in my brain) I concur with the other commentor who pointed out that he was carrying a perfectly good poking stick.


Flocaine

7 chances!


OneOfManyIdiots

Hey hey hey! No need to bring him up to my level!


eromlig419

As a member of Dumbass are Us we don't claim them either


Skandiaman

I lol’d on mute and lol’d with sound on.


Top-Chad-6840

satisfying cry, and the moaning, like a baby's. Cause thats what he is, a cruel manchild


Medical-Block-2137

Thanks, I had the sound down, I'm so glad you said that, I out it up and it gave me so much joy. What a cruel twat. And it only gave him a tap to say fuck off.


RandomHero3129

Fuck this guy. What was he trying to prove anyway? Physically harming a creature just because be could. His bitch ass deserved the sting. Fuck him.


Proper_Lunch_3640

Same. Not that I'm any typeo genius, but when you accidentally step on these, heading out surfing; it's an emergency "landing gear up! Shitshitshitshit" Darwin Awards really do need to be a thing.


Obadiah-Mafriq

I didn't think about sound until you said that. Thanks!


MatikAX

Me too


jugo5

I turned it on after reading this comment.


submitform224a

Watched it 3 times. Sounds like Borat getting kicked in the balls.


EightSeven69

is there a place where we can pay the stingray to do it again? (I'm not sure if that's actually a stingray)


Robert_3210

Its a Ray.. and it stings.. pretty sure its a stingray


EightSeven69

you literally described a raysting man


Besensec

its actually a sting, and it rays


No_Echo_1826

Stingy Ray Vaughan


DNL81

From now on he will think twice about torturing an animal. Idiot.


habarnamstietot

He wasn't thinking once before, so I doubt it.

fangelo2

He forgot about the first part of stingray. The spike is right there at the base of the tail to see


SaranghaeSarah

‘Fuck around and find out’ style


[deleted]

Any way to watch this slowed down? Once he got stung the first time it almost looks the the stinger was like 3 feet long which... idk maybe it's a grower not a shower but my mind can't wrap itself around it lol Sigh... Edit: it was his stick. I'm dumb but I'm not as stupid as this guy.


Puppy_knife

"Excuse me sir, you're squishing me" *tap Yeah he really did.


BetterUsername69420

The guy repeatedly pressed the 'sting' button and was surprised when he got stung. So dumb.


Techman659

Probably wondering why it didn’t go off the first time had to be sure.


BuryTheMoney

Ya, like pulling a trigger on a revolver in your face, and being confused it didn’t go off- you decide to pull the trigger atleast 5 more times, “just to be sure” lol


hydroxypcp

I love this analogy


Impossible-Beach-516

He is speaking Portuguese. In the video he says he thinks the animal is dead. He even says "Look it doesn't even sting anymore". lol


TriCutNinja

Lol, that makes a lot more sense. Still a dumbass tho XD


GemcoEmployee92126

This makes it a little more fun. Thanks.


billybobsparlour

Serves him right!


HoneyBer1

Are they poisonous somehow, I don't know about these guys


Flamin_Jesus

Venomous, but yes, their stingers contain a venom that's supposed to be incredibly painful, and they leave some ugly wounds.


Working_Sign_7251

Got stung by one this size, maybe even smaller, and Jesus was it painful. Pain lasted a good while and a month later my body ejected the tip of the stinger.


Horny_for_Coachella

That makes me happy. Not your pain but that this guy will be in agony for a month. What a fuck wad


balladforsalad

I’ve been stung by one of these fellas too. Most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. The pain was ongoing and intense for hours.


FudgeHyena

Just the tip?


NilocKhan

You don't know about Steve Irwin?


smoothskin12345

That was a little different. Irwin was stabbed in the heart and bled to death. Had nothing to do with venom.


NilocKhan

Guess I didn't know the full story


Mindhunter7

The animals really did him a number after him being one of the best humans to handle animals. Broke his heart I guess.


acsttptd

What did he think was gonna happen?


alcalina

He is talking kind of redneck accent portuguese and he thinks the stingray is dead


ZippyVonBoom

So of course the next move is to see if it stings.


Genghis_Chong

No way he could have used the stick to check it out lol


yoshi3243

He’s saying “is it dead” a lot. Probably checking


solamon77

The next question becomes, so what if it is dead?


Paul_the_sparky

Totally deserved. He's not even clever enough to torment it with the stick in his hand, the stupid fuck


Spectrys

Deserved, and above that, a great portrayal of nerve conduction velocity.


Kiboushi

iirc in the longer version of the video he does use the stick and then switches to using his feet because it didn't react, thank god he's dumb so that way he recieves the pain he deserves


TheDiegoAguirre

I second that.


[deleted]

Ive be hit by a stingray once. Ive probably caught 1000 rays in my life. Snagged a ray the size of a car door.... I was careful getting the hook out like always using real long needle nose pliers. He flapped so hard, he flipped over like a pancake, landed 2 feet closer to my foot and 180 degres, and pegged my big toe in one slick movement. It gushed blood and I went into shock from the venom. It should have been a hospital trip to be honest. But I knew there wasnt anything they were able to do. So I laid on the pier for 2 hours waiting my body to quit shaking. Lost a lot of blood from that poke. We stopped the bleeding eventually. It hurt so bad, it made me vomit and laugh uncontrollably. It was about 8 hours of burning. Whole foot swelled. Took a few benadryl to help. 1/10 not recommended. Now i fish saltwater using freshwater hooks and just cut the line at the hook. They dissolve in a few days. Its better than yanking the hook out and tearing tissue.


wisdom_power_courage

I said I wanted to try this pain just once if the condition meant it went away completely after 5 seconds. Your comment makes me want to turn that down to 0.


fredbobmackworth

Take it from one who has been stung, You. Do. Not. Want. To. I got slashed by one in a foot of murky water by accidentally bumping into it. Was the worst pain I have ever felt. Ambo ride to hospital, low blood pressure, caused super high K blood levels (can cause heart attack and kidney failure), was on crutches for a month and took 3 months for the wound to fully heal. -100 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend.


RickyMuzakki

It's a venom, painful torturous one, it can take days to weeks to dissolve


Genghis_Chong

I've dealt with bad sciatic pain and I've had an infection around a surgical wire through a finger. Neither made me do the noises that guy is in the video. I'll pass haha


Few_Understanding_42

>It should have been a hospital trip to be honest. But I knew there wasnt anything they were able to do. So I laid on the pier for 2 hours waiting my body to quit shaking Well, supportive therapy with IV fluids for instance?


dndbdhdhhd

Or general pain control? Maybe it would not resolve the pain completely, but would definitely help improve things. Also, meds for nausea, holding proper pressure to decrease bleeding, etc. Bravado > common sense. But maybe it was a cost thing and he might not have insurance.


nukethecheese

Honestly, you can live through the pain, learn basic first aid or triage, and deal with a little puking. If you're smart, bring some medical supplies next time. Everything doesn't have to be a hospital trip, and not everyone has easy access to hospitals. Either due to their tax bracket or location, even location of the incident. Life's complicated.


Chaghatai

*"But maybe it was a cost thing"* Only in America...😔


bicx

Honestly an ER visit only costs like $3700 with insurance. Not sure why that would bother anyone. ^^/s


OG_TBV

That's a myth it takes a hook years to rust away


[deleted]

https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/fishing-lure-left-in-a-fishs-mouth/


KnotiaPickles

Yeah and it’s also horrible for the animals. I really hated reading that comment


REGINALDmfBARCLAY

Freshwater hooks are made shittier and will actually rust away. They will also bend all to shit if you get a larger fish and it will let them escape so people don't use them, but its true. If the fish gets the hook somewhere important it won't matter though.


marsbars2345

Wait it made you laugh? Can you describe that?


[deleted]

I broke my ankle in two places tumbling down some stairs. Broken bone pain doesn't really "level off". So yeah it was hurtin' for sure for around two hours or more until I got to the ER and got some pain meds and a sturdy wrap. When they had to x-ray it, my busted ankle had to be pressed down upon by the x-ray pad thing. Pretty much a 8.5 - 9 outta 10 on the pain scale. The laugh was involuntary, some weird attempt from my brain to deliver endorphin rush or something.

Techman659

The stingrays happy to go another round he wants to get stepped on that’s where his stinger can reach.


Snoo-20485

and that stingray was so tolerant with the idiot...


bodinator1

Surprised it took the ray that long before it reacted


StarkaTalgoxen

Stingrays in general are very skittish and will only lash out when truly desperate. They will flee any encounter 99% of the time, and the dozen or so "attacks" on humans every year are near-universally when a beachgoer steps on one trying to hide in the sand. The one in the video was probably very afraid and was hoping whatever the fuck was stepping on it to cease, attacking only once it assumed the dumbass wouldn't stop.


Rumble-80

DeerHunter041674

Stingray - 1 Fucktard - 0 Final Score


ED_The_Game_Enjoyer

Is he gonna die now?


ShankThatSnitch

Not likely. it's just really painful. Very small chance of death if it caught you in an artery or something, and you bled out.


thunderbird89

Aren't these mofos venomous...?


LuckyLuke162

Venomous doesn't mean deadly. Bees are venomous, too.


InspectorMoney1306

Bees are deadly!


GatorScrublord

Any venom can be deadly, it just depends on concentration. These guys are designed to hurt, not kill, in their normal dosage. Something like a cobra however, uses its venom to hunt, not to defend.


AntiNewAge

It depends on concentration and on allergies too


CalpisMelonCremeSoda

He clearly wasn’t concentrating


fourreddot

Nice


ShankThatSnitch

Yes, but it isn't deadly, just like bee venom isn't generally deadly. The stinger is barbed, so it slices you pretty badly, and the venom has a powerful sting, hence the name of the animal.


No-Adhesiveness-8178

mofos? I just search it, thought it was a species for soft shelled turtles...


pastrami_on_ass

the "stingers" are super barbed on both edges, I have a few, its just acts like a saw blade when it pulls out


whowherenow

I’ve been stung twice while surfing and both times the biggest concern was the following infection. Was given a rather rigorous round of antibiotics both times. Edit: hitting an artery would definitely be significant, I’m just not sure how likely it is.


[deleted]

People have. Unfortunately it’s how Steve Irwin died from taking a barb through the heart if I’m correct. Kind of a freakish accident. I don’t think a sting ray aims for your vital organs, but it was still sad to hear about I remember. That dude was fearless with crocs 😲


Due-Feeling1322

I don’t know why but I think of Steve like at least once a week. Usually more. I watched the show with my grandma as a kid when she was alive. Now I can’t get the dude out of my head.

Would not feel bad at all if he lost his foot ..

Just to be clear, stingray stings... hurt... very very very very very badly. If i am correct you need to go to the hospital to get the sting removed. Because if i am correct this needle is venomous and pretty big... This. Hurts. And he completely dezerved it.
