Is there anything on earth scarier than Piranha?

As previously mentioned Piranha are mostly scavengers and don't normally go after things that aren't already dead or wounded.

I've been swimming in a lake with Piranha and came out fine. Later we went fishing for them with raw beef and it was pretty nuts how fast they swarmed it.
 
Myiasis.

Google at your own risk.
Oh, I remember watching a video about this a long while back.

About the subject, there's a video of the aftermath an incident of a kid in Peru with piranhas.

If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, chances are you're not gonna like it.

Irukandji jellyfish are the smallest and most venomous box jellyfish in the world. They inhabit the marine waters of Australia and are able to fire their stingers into their victim.

Their entire body, including the bell, can sting you.

Irukandji jellyfish's stings are so severe they can cause fatal brain haemorrhages. On a pain index of zero to ten, with zero being no pain at all and ten being the most excruciating pain imaginable, Dr. Jamie Seymour ranked the pain of a sting from an Irukandji jellyfish a twelve. it has been recorded that even the maximum dosage of morphine does little to reduce the pain.

These fuckers are why I don't swim when I visit my family up north. 2spooky4me.

Ok, this thing wins.
 
Also

Elephants
Cape Buffalo
Hippos

These animals will fuck you up. There's a reason the Cape Buffalo is nicknamed "The Widowmaker".

Remember what I said about crocodiles?

Hipppos literally bite crocodiles in half.
 
Piranhas are pretty harmless. They don't do what the movies say they do or what you probably think they do. They don't attack large living animals, including humans. They don't swarm either. You can walk around in a river with piranhas and be totally fine.

They do attack humans... But not often, and not in the "hivemind swarm" way you see in movies.

They're basically normal fish with big sharp teeth.
 
Not in my experience OP.

  • Wasps - they follow you to hell and back just to sting you. True fuckers of the insect world.
  • Fire ants - fuck them.
  • Jellyfish - oh look, it's a plastic bag, nope. Fuck you Portuguese man o' war.
  • Horse flies - fuckers don't go away once they obtain lock on.

Good list.

Horse flies are big assholes, I've swatted and splashed water but nothing deters them

Yeah, I saw that video last night. Pretty fucking horrible.
 
I read the title and my mind went to something like the Bull Shark. But then I backtracked and thought of the Irukandji. Entered the thread and saw that somebody already covered that.

Irukandji I feel is extremely scary. You'd feel what, a small prick whilst in the ocean? And then seconds later you are fucked and need near enough instant medical care. You'd have to arrive at a conclusion as to what happened also, as you probably wont see the jellyfish.
 
Horse Flies
They can get massive, they are a huge nuisance, painful painful bite fake dead after you hit them, follow you for ages, and never give up.



I'm only thinking of things that can harm me where I currently am. No jellyfish or sharks to worry about, or urethra fish.

And at least do mosquitoes announce themselves with their annoying sound. These guys just suddenly sit on your hand.

Yup they will attack or scare off anything that entire its territory.

This Hippo thrashes an Impala around that got stuck in the mud after being chased by a Lion. Then it dunks it under the mud so it drowns.
 
Yet the dreaded Man'o'war is eaten by the tiny blue dragon slug (that forms the basis for the very hard Azure Nightmare boss in Dariusburst):

And of course the derpiest fish of them all:

Holy shit, how does it move so fast in the water

Fuck no, staying out of the water

That won't help, it can run at 35km/h on land.
 
I came to the thread thinking I would learn something scientific about piranhas, then I was like "well this is no that bad" until the pics of gross and scary stuff was posted, I always fall for this. Fucking roaches and fuck everything not cute.

Sydney funnel webs are pieces of shit too.

We also get the smaller man-o-war jellyfish down here too. Responsible for thousands of stings per year.

Wolbachia.
 
I think I'll just get high and put on some planet earth while I tuck myself comfortably in my soft blanket while sipping some hot cocoa far away from outside
 
There was once a cazador from fallout inside my house, i opened the windows and tried to make it go away, but it didn't move much, i googled wtf it was and as i was reading its wikipedia, the fucker flew away to the window.
I didn't go out for the rest of the day that day.

Yo this is fucked up. They are tiny, look harmless and can torture you in literally the worst way imaginable in terms of adminstering pain. I'm imagining what a poor victim had to go through. Damn, nature sucks ass.
 
Piranha are actually pretty docile, contrary to these motherfuckers

Piranha: only found in water, easy to avoid, only attack when hungry
Wasps: found everywhere, hard to avoid, will pop up unannounced, will attack just because it fucking feels like it

Your having a nice day and all of a sudden a man comes up, screams in your face, pushes you in the dirt, beats your wife and kids, pisses on you then tells you to go home and theres literally nothing you can do except hope you take him out before he takes you out but youll still get beat up.

That is a wasp on a good day. And thats just one wasp.
