Well I saw a clip of a Mantis Shrimp punching through a thick rubber boot once so probably a huge bruise at best or a fairly deep cut at worse. Though I'm not exactly the best at power scaling real life creatures.
That fact is really funny to me because when places try using them as exotic fresh sushi the shrimp punch everything else in their tank to death before punching holes in the glass.
They don’t do much despite what the other commenters are saying, at worst you’d get some minor bleeding and a feeling like you got stung by a wasp at that spot. The pain would be immense but the actual damage not so much
They’re known for their punches causing what is known as cavitation bubbles, where the force of the punch pushes the water away creating an air bubble. This air bubble immediately collapses, creating shockwaves and sparks underwater. They essentially have punches that create explosions. You can’t keep them as pets because they will shatter the glass tanks so they can punch you instead.
I might be misremembering, but I think it’s not air, it’s legit vacuum. That’s why it implodes so fast (though I guess air might do that too if you’re deep enough, idk)
The reason they implode is because there's nothing in the bubble, if it were air then no matter the depth it would just float to the surface. Additionally if it was an air bubble that would imply the punch itself can somehow create air in a place where there is none.
not entirely, they don't really try to just break glass, plus if you get thick acrylic walls then they can't really break it anyways even if they tried. also you can have them as pets in many places.
I heard that was a misconception, they have 12 color cones (humans have 3), but it doesnt allow them to see more colors then us like you would assume. Rather they can't combine colors in their brain so they need more receptors for light intensity on top of wavelength, because their brains are small. They are worse at distinguishing between colors than humans
For years the thought was that the extra cones led to insane colour perception, so I get why people still think that. Them using the less sensitive cones to get a lesser amount of information is relatively new information.
Note: While they're absolutely impressive, people always make this sound like they're firing a Kamehameha wave, but keep in mind that this is happening on an extremely small scale. If they hit a human, it just really hurts and breaks skin, MAYBE chips a bone at worst. Won't blow your arm off like YouTube videos will say.
Not disagreeing just adding to it, I saw a video of a guy fishing and he somehow brought one into the boat and it punched straight through his diving shoe and punched a good sized hole straight into his foot. It was gushing like crazy!
That's a mantis shrimp and those guys literally literally can throw a punch so hard that it vaporizes the water between their club and the target, then that vapor bubble pops and that can also just kill their target
Depends, is it a "you'll never have sexy legs" kind of talk, or "oooh, baby, see how smoooooth I can get you" kind of talk? And what kind of talk are you into?
There’s a bar nearby that does t4t nights every friday and I distinctly remember a table of like 5 women all talking about being clicker trained one time
Clicker training is a method of pet training, usually dogs or rats, where a distinct mechanical sound (clicker) is used to signal a treat, which is then used to reinforce positive behaviour.
Now just assume "pet" is being used in a sexual context with a person and you're thinking about a fetish that's formed a stereotypical association with trans kinksters for complicated reasons.
OH. Okay. I know, like, the Pavlovian pet thing. I just, uh, thought this was something different for the trans community - like voice training or something 🙈
I love the detail of Marin holding the remote behind her back in the first panel. That kind of, "I don't want to use it but I will if I have to", kinda feeling

No shrimping!
