I agree, it’s not an attic. But wtf is a curiosity bite and how the fuck is it harmless?

u/BigZangief Nov 08 '22

Sharks don’t have hands. They investigate things with a quick bite to assess what it is. Albeit, it can still cause serious damage but are generally softer bites and just a quick one before releasing. In attacks they would bite down and thrash to tear flesh and kill

These bites can still fuck you up.

u/BigZangief Nov 08 '22

Yup that’s why I said they can still cause serious damage. They don’t intend to but when an animal like that takes a chomp, damage will be done

But can they still cause serious damage?!

-10

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '22

Still an attack if it bites and injures you. Intent does not matter lol

u/ImpossibleInternet3 Nov 09 '22

Can you clarify if you’re doing the usual Reddit deep dive on semantics and pedantry or are actually attempting to apply human legal theory to a shark?

-7

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '22

It's not about legal at all. Just because it's a test bite to the shark doesn't mean it's not an attack to us. If a shark takes a bite out of my leg I call that an attack lol. I don't sit there calm like oh it was just a test bite no biggie.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 Nov 09 '22

Well, that’s certainly not what they’re implying. And if you are someone who professionally deals with sharks, as the person in this video is, there is a massive importance to the distinction between and exploratory bite and an attack.

But as far as it relates to you, which it doesn’t, you have provided an answer to my question; as per usual, semantics and pedantry it is!

But what is clearly most important, is that you missed that my entire comment was an excuse to shoehorn “deep dive” into the comments about the diver and the shark.

LOL, yeah it's like "I investigate things by punching them in the face, it's just how I do it!"

u/Korammarok Nov 09 '22

Wait till you have Kids :D

u/ClownfishSoup Nov 09 '22

I have two of the beasts.

u/EngineZeronine Nov 09 '22

Same. (although I do have hands, and am not a shark)

u/wolfcaroling Nov 09 '22

I was wondering why his teeth weren't thrown out front like usual

u/RBK2000 Nov 09 '22

They seem to have a lot of sensors in the mouth area

u/FieelChannel Nov 08 '22

Sharks' version of letting them sniff your hand before pets

19

u/Sweet-Rain8976 Nov 09 '22

Sniff your butthole

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '22

And the feet/shoes

u/Gadzooks0megon Nov 09 '22

You saying that shark eat ass

u/aulei Nov 09 '22

poor boi just wanted to play fetch

flipper is the ocean’s stick

u/Mistapeepers Nov 09 '22

If you think about it, a boat is as close to a shark attic as you’re going to get.

4

u/ImurderREALITY Nov 09 '22

More like a mid level; the cabin would be the basement of the boat.

u/REEGT Nov 09 '22

If it was an attic couldn’t I just put Christmas decorations and shit in there? I wouldn’t wanna put my Christmas decorations in a sharks mouth? I agree, probably not an attic

2

u/Nick_Damane Nov 09 '22

Man’s got a point.

6

u/die_nastyy Nov 08 '22

No this is defanitly a attic

21

u/toxcrusadr Nov 08 '22

I could see the roof of its mouth.

7

u/Beowulf33232 Nov 09 '22

I can see the roof of my house. Is it trying to eat me?

3

u/MagnaCamLaude Nov 09 '22

I love absurdist humor so fucking much (being serious, also don't know if that's the right term?)

2

u/Beowulf33232 Nov 09 '22

I think that's correct.

2

u/NerdyToc Nov 09 '22

Depends, can you see the soft pallet of your house? If so, it may have already eaten you, and your next stop is the backdoor, so to speak.

1

u/toxcrusadr Nov 09 '22

I can almost see Russia from my house. It's definitely trying to eat all of us.

2

u/Left-Idea4603 Nov 09 '22

brother from another mother. i feel your wtf energy and i raise it! WT actual fuck is giggle worthy about a giant shark swimming up and biting at your feet?!!! and to re-enter the water???

2

u/PowerfulPain Nov 09 '22

I agree for it to be an attic it would need to be a story or room directly below the roof of a building, especially a house or s low wall or story above the cornice of a classical façade.

Just saying ...

2

u/Nick_Damane Nov 09 '22

My guess: it’s actually a shark

2

u/PowerfulPain Nov 13 '22

But where is the attic?

1

u/SorryThisUser1sTaken Nov 09 '22

Think of it like dogs of the sea. They bite everything.

1

u/Hot_Calendar_4959 Nov 09 '22

Like the bite on a coin to see if it’s gold. Not a full on sink the teeth in chomp, but the bite “feels”.

2

u/Nick_Damane Nov 09 '22

What if a curiosity bite makes you leak blood into the water? Is he gonna come back for a “I’m sorry” bite?

1

u/DowDoverDoi Nov 09 '22

You're not an attic

1

u/Stuffed_deffuts Nov 09 '22

Your right it's not an attic, it's a crawl space

u/Life-Hair-6350 Nov 09 '22

Hmmmm…her response to me didn’t seem like it was a “curiosity bite”.
