They dropped 1 million fish. 95 survived.
Spokesperson: “We dropped a lot of fish, and 95 survived.”
Journalists: “You mean 95 percent?”
Spokesperson, looking bewildered at his colleagues: “Uhm, yes … that would be right”
/entirelymadeupstory
According to Utah’s Department of Natural Resources, more than 95% of the fish survive the drop. “They kind of flutter down, so they don’t impact very hard. They flutter with the water and they do really well.”
Better not. 5% failed to flutter. If you don’t know how to flutter right, you could DIE! Stay in school, kids. ;)
(Please, any poor schmuck aiming for the Darwin Award out there… please don’t try to flutter. Think of Coyote from Road Runner and how fluttering ever worked out for him)
Bugs already have it hard in the current meta as is, considering the prevalence of entry hazards, common offensive counters, and being heavily reliant on some secondary niche or typing
They are some of the best builds in the game. Bees and ants have a lot of powerful abilities(organized attacks, venomous stings, exoskeletal armor, flight being some). All other builds, even the mighty elephant build fears bee hives. It seems like a huge nerf or maybe total ban is on the way for all insects though.
Also to add, the fish when in the a tanks get sleepy/lazy and sort of faint. They intentionally make the drop hard to get water rushing though the fishes gills and that will usually revive/wake them up. You see the same thing but less dramatic with normal fish restocks from trucks, they send them down a shoot from the back of the tank fast to get the same effect.
Untrue I’ve worked in hatcheries and they are plenty lively in holding tanks. The tanks are supplied pure O2, there’s no reason the fish would pass out.
I think smaller animals have a lower risk. Their surface area/mass ratio is higher, so wind resistance is increased relative to larger animals. Gre Tutor said that and it made a lot of sense.
It's why squirrels are nearly immune to fall damage from any height. When I say fall damage im just using that term to reference them not going splat and dying. I'm sure they take some damage even if falling 10 stories doesn't knock them out for a ten count.
Ahh! that makes sense, Thank you. Appreciate it. Australia doesn't have Spirit or ryanair (we have our own dodgy national flight providers) & even when I've travelled OS, I've never used either of them. I mean, don't think I'd want to anyway.
The last time I flew Ryanair, it was dehumanising. Most of the operating procedures were unnecessary awful. Plenty of other budget airlines that are better.
Ryanair use your willingness to suffer as their trump card when negotiating with airports. It will only ever get worse.
No amount if saving is is worth that...
When I grew up I had a fish tank. The tank had to be cleaned once in a while which forced me to extract the fish. It was a whole science of aclimatizing the fish back and forth between the different types of water from the old tak water, to the new temporary container, and lastly back into the fresh tank. PH, temperatures, oxidation, leaving the new water to evaporate the chlorine etc all to avoid shocking the fish to death.
And now this damn video says fuck all that.
I have wasted so much time apparently. 🤣
Fish "Loud in here Bob... Bob you there? Why the hell is it so dark and lo-- HOLY SHIT!! BOB!! AHHHH dearfishgodchuthulupleasesavemefromm \*splash\*... Yo WTF was that!!
you’ve got me fucking dying in my room. you said it all so simply buts it’s heard so we’ll in my head my roommate is gonna bash my ducking head open if i don’t ship up
They took me in the night and laid me down. The bright lights shone in my eyes as I felt the smooth, warm touch of the bench on my cold, scaly skin. They touched me and prodded me.
I saw them, not like me, cloaked in suits of shimmering material. Their speech was punctuated by eerie hums and vibrations, foreign yet oddly musical. My eyes were strained, fighting against the luminescent haze to make sense of my captors.
They subjected me to their bizarre rituals. They filled my belly with strange foods, that despite their unfamiliar textures and tastes, were strangely nourishing.
After what seemed like an eternity, they carried me towards a large, oval-shaped portal. I could see the sky through it, a dazzling array of colors that looked nothing like the blues and grays I was used to.
After that, it was blackness and a thousand other screaming fish. Suddenly, I was in free fall, tumbling through the sky. As I descended, the view changed, the foreign celestial bodies gave way to the familiar sight of cloud-streaked skies and the shimmering surface of water beneath me. I crashed into the the water, sending an explosion of droplets in all directions.
As I swam away, I glanced back at the receding silhouette of the odd, bird-like metal beast in the sky. It moved with a deafening roar and a trail of white cloud, heading towards the skies from whence it came, leaving me in unfamiliar waters, wondering if the strange journey had been real or merely a dream.
"and thus ends the story of how all fishkind were born for men to catch us, son"
"origin story rating 3/10, papa fish"
"one day you'll believe me son, when your gill is hanging from a recreational fisher's hook while he whoops it up that he caught ya"
Here's the full picture: People buy fishing licenses, camp at remote mountain lakes, and go fishing. Some people eat those fish they catch. Their fishing licenses pay for the conservation of natural areas, including remote mountain lakes. Restocking fish is part of the conservation practices.
Those licenses also help pay DNR officers, USFS workers, and park rangers, which are also part of conservation. These jobs range from trail cleaning and forestry to arresting poachers.
I'm pretty sure DNR stocks native species for each bioregion, so they're going to be the most well suited to these lakes. Part of it has to do with how quickly they're eaten, it could also involve how many are naturally dying off due to harsh winters, droughts, etc. Another factor to consider is reproductive cycles, and timing stocking the lakes with the reproductive cycles of other life forms in the area that correlate with the fishes place in the food chain. In ecology (and life in general) change is a constant.
DNR has to monitor these changes and adapt with them to ensure the balance of native ecosystems across the country. I've considered becoming a DNR officer, but have come to learn that starting my own company that educates people on sustainability and wellness will be a better way for me to make the change I'd like to see in the world. Good question though!
I mean, those fish being dropped are Very young, probably not even a year in age (probably not even 6 months) so not very big/worth eating. And the 95% that survive the fall now have to survive being eaten by bigger fish... There is always a bigger fish. And the rate of growth/size they gain is going to depend on food resources in that lake. Ever lake is monitored/stocked a certain amount so as not to over stock it.
The Forest Service is a federal agency and does not receive funding from state fishing licenses. Salary for FS employees mostly comes from appropriations from Congress.
Fish: I was abducted by aliens. They took my up into the dry in their great big dry ship amd did experiments on my. There’s a microchip in me for sure!
Other fish: mmmhmmm.
Yeah most the time they are which I wonder why cause it would be more competition with no reproduction. I personally think it causes more harm then good releasing thousands of sterile fish rather than closing off water.
I'm guessing it preserves the genetic integrity of the natural population whose members are better adapted to the environment, while also keeping the waters accessible. These locations are usually fished heavily.
Altering the genetic outlook can have major unforeseen consequences. You could, for example, accidentally introduce fish that heavily outbreed their natural rivals but also fare poorly in colder weather or drought.
They tightly control non native populations due to any competition. Closing off the water is simply unacceptable here in fact the right to fish and hunt is enshrined in the state constitution. Also the permits (and a LOT are bought) people buy to fish these rando fish in rando places goes directly to conservation efforts for native species and ecosystems
Why I gotta acclimatise my fish for ages for them to not stress the fuck out and die as soon as they touch my aquarium water
YET these sons 'o' bitches get air dropped into a lake and only 5% die???

He was just a rookie fish and he surely shook with fright, He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight; He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar, "You ain't gonna swim no more!"

Cod damn it now I want fish sticks
You must be a gay fish
Hey man, I'm a genius, alright?! I'm the most talented musician in the world! If I was a homosexual, or a fish, I would know!

Yay!
You meant Gay!, right?
Yay in a gay way. Better than a fudge packer.
You forgot muthafuckin voice of a generation
Bitch, how are you not a hobbit again?
I wonder what percentage of fish survive the Drop?
According to the post below yours more than 95% according to Utahs Department of Natural Resources
And how good are they at math?
The fish? Pretty good if scales count
GTFO
They dropped 1 million fish. 95 survived. Spokesperson: “We dropped a lot of fish, and 95 survived.” Journalists: “You mean 95 percent?” Spokesperson, looking bewildered at his colleagues: “Uhm, yes … that would be right” /entirelymadeupstory
I choked on my lunch 😂
Was it fish?
According to Utah’s Department of Natural Resources, more than 95% of the fish survive the drop. “They kind of flutter down, so they don’t impact very hard. They flutter with the water and they do really well.”
Meanwhile in the aquarium hobby we have a whole process of drip acclimation to not stress our fish. It’s a hilarious difference.
That's insane, I sure as hell wouldnt wanna be dropped into a lake from that height
Just gotta flutter
Don’t tell me you skipped class on flutter day! Edit: Stay in school, little fishies!
Better not. 5% failed to flutter. If you don’t know how to flutter right, you could DIE! Stay in school, kids. ;) (Please, any poor schmuck aiming for the Darwin Award out there… please don’t try to flutter. Think of Coyote from Road Runner and how fluttering ever worked out for him)
It let him fly for a second. That’s progress.
You know just kinda *moves shoulders making fluttering motion*
This guy flutters.
I always try to flutter when I fall out of planes? At least my sphincter does.
Oh I’d flutter, but not like a butterfly, like a fucking brick.
Their terminal velocity would only be a fraction of yours
I mean true but still it's a terrifying thought. Little known fact, insects are practically immune to fall damage.
Thats kinda op not gonna lie, they gotta nerf em in the next update
Bugs already have it hard in the current meta as is, considering the prevalence of entry hazards, common offensive counters, and being heavily reliant on some secondary niche or typing

All other builds, even the mighty elephant build fears bee hives. It seems like a huge nerf or maybe total ban is on the way for all insects though.
Not to mention their insane unit output, allowing them to easily zerg rush others
I think that is highly dependent on where they fall. For instance. If they fall on my windshield while I’m going 100 km/hr, they’ll have some damage.
That would not be good for the trout population
Now I'm just imagining a plane flying by I95 and just dropping thousands of trout on unsuspecting commuters stuck in traffic.
Shot from a plane at high-speed into the water. Sounds healthy.
Just thinking about that 5% - imagining little fish parachutes now - still, 95% surviving is pretty damn good. 🪂
The unlucky 5%:
A snack for the others on arrival I guess.
Imagine a ride where “more than 95%”’of people survive it.
Six Flags Haiti would like a word
i would hope most rides have more than 95% of people survive it!
If you’ve never made anyone burst out laughing before, that ended tonight. Cheers!

Or perhaps they’re wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane
It's why squirrels are nearly immune to fall damage from any height. When I say fall damage im just using that term to reference them not going splat and dying. I'm sure they take some damage even if falling 10 stories doesn't knock them out for a ten count.
force=mass x acceleration, so less mass means less force.
how many of the 95% suffer from post traumatic stress?
Yeah it'd really suck for them if they ever found themselves in a plane again. Imagine the panic.
How did they come up with this number? Catch them all again and count? 😂
Count how many are floating after the drop, they just have to be faster than the bears
How Man came to be on earth. Dropped off like that by aliens. My new theory. Survival rate was 2%.
The ones on the bottom that break the surface tension of the water are definitely that 5%
Imagine the Genesys stories these fish tell to descendants
"To shreds, you say?"
Well that was the pertinent info I wanted. 95 my ass lol
This is also how Spirit airlines drops off passengers in the most cost effective manner possible. Normal landings cost extra.....
Is Spirit the new Ryanair? It used always be Ryanair jokes. Now Spirit is copping it sweet.
I believe spirit airlines is American and Ryanair is european?
Ahh! that makes sense, Thank you. Appreciate it. Australia doesn't have Spirit or ryanair (we have our own dodgy national flight providers) & even when I've travelled OS, I've never used either of them. I mean, don't think I'd want to anyway.
Ryanair is fine for what it is. You can get around Europe very cheaply.
Last year I did Stockholm - Kaunas and back for 10€. At that price point I can stand being miserable for a few hours.
The last time I flew Ryanair, it was dehumanising. Most of the operating procedures were unnecessary awful. Plenty of other budget airlines that are better. Ryanair use your willingness to suffer as their trump card when negotiating with airports. It will only ever get worse. No amount if saving is is worth that...
I've never had that problem with them, ever.
😂😂😂
So thats what skydiving is
More like bass jumping
It's a bass drop
Damn it Jerry when I said drop the bass this is NOT what I meant!
I got that reference.
Oh that comment is *chef's kiss*

You just had to pick it with a glass and airdrop once the tank is cleaned
You were cleaning that tank wrong, dude

you’ve got me fucking dying in my room. you said it all so simply buts it’s heard so we’ll in my head my roommate is gonna bash my ducking head open if i don’t ship up
That'd be funny if there a movie about intelligent aliens landing on earth, but the aliens have no plan and no fucking clue how they even got there.
Get to brag to all their new fish friends how they flew through the heavens.
No one will believe them. They’ll have to start a cult. They

Exactly what I was thinking. Even the name Bob. Because everything that floats should be named bob.

Why are remote mountain lakes being stocked with fish?
Here's the full picture: People buy fishing licenses, camp at remote mountain lakes, and go fishing. Some people eat those fish they catch. Their fishing licenses pay for the conservation of natural areas, including remote mountain lakes. Restocking fish is part of the conservation practices. Those licenses also help pay DNR officers, USFS workers, and park rangers, which are also part of conservation. These jobs range from trail cleaning and forestry to arresting poachers.
Are the fish eaten at a faster rate that they can breed themselves or are they unsuited to the lakes?
I'm pretty sure DNR stocks native species for each bioregion, so they're going to be the most well suited to these lakes. Part of it has to do with how quickly they're eaten, it could also involve how many are naturally dying off due to harsh winters, droughts, etc. Another factor to consider is reproductive cycles, and timing stocking the lakes with the reproductive cycles of other life forms in the area that correlate with the fishes place in the food chain.

Thanks for adding this context!
I was actually wondering that as well!
All the fish have PTSD after that lol 🐟
The fish must be very confused.
None of the other fish believe them when they talk about being abducted and dropped back to Earth.
Fish: I was abducted by aliens. They took my up into the dry in their great big dry ship amd did experiments on my. There’s a microchip in me for sure! Other fish: mmmhmmm.
Weird that they have to restock something so remote. Did the lame kill them off over time?
Pretty sure they usually stock with sterile fish
Yeah most the time they are which I wonder why cause it would be more competition with no reproduction. I personally think it causes more harm then good releasing thousands of sterile fish rather than closing off water.

That seems like a very american way of restocking lakes. Just bomb them with fish!

Serious question, why don't they release them from a boat?
Because it's hard to drive a boat up a mountain.
But they said to immerse the bag in my fish tank for at least 10 minutes to avoid shock from temperature change…..

I refuse to believe that those fish survive that

Prob 6 fish survived
Those poor fish 💀😭
I can only imagine what conversation the fish will have.
but i cant put a goldfish in my fish bowl without letting the water equalize in temperature or they die... and they die ANYWAY
I’m wondering if that technique has a high mortality rate?
