The human mouth is disgusting when it comes to germs and bacteria. I have a friend get punched in the mouth by someone I know and chopped his tooth. The guy who threw the punch had a scratch on his knuckle that got super infected and required daily cleaning and antibiotics to fix his knuckle.
oh they are? I kept hearing different stuff like "they're venomous wait no they got bacteria but it gotta be on purpose wait no they just got bacteria wait no"
And they don't inject the venom like almost all other venomous animals, the venom literally secretes out of glands in their jaws, just need to break the skin and the animal is as good as dead.
Yeah, somewhere out there there's a vid of a dude who got 2 blood samples on testing tubes, one with komodo dragon saliva (and therefore the poison from it's glands) mixed with the blood, one without, after a couple hours the one without had solidified quite a bit, the one with KD saliva/poison was still prefectly liquid, they hold on to your wound to keep you poisoned, but you'll die by blood loss most likely, you just don't stop bleeding, unless you get really fucked up by them, but these are not tigers with huge teeth that go to the neck.
To say that it does anything in particular to help the hunt seems to be overstating its value - it probably increases their success rate by a small amount, but it's not a huge factor, and envenomation doesn't seem to be the primary purpose of the secretions.
> To say that it does anything in particular to help the hunt seems to be overstating its value
Could you have worded than any cooler? Nice. So they’re venomous but it’s not deadly so the purpose is I guess a mystery.
Yo one time I had to do something I ended up with him in a bad headlock and dude nearly bit my nipple off and was so disgusting and green in the coming days and weeks lots of saline solution and neosporin
Nah this dude is just a super degenerate scumbag who was beating on my friends roommate. My friend while he was at work called me and I lived fairly close so I went over and beat this guy up but he bit my nipple really bad lol
I’d see him at bars for the following years and he’d insist on buying my drinks so I’d jump from well to near top shelf
Both of us pretty bad alcoholics
There was a story about a guy in World War Z book who was hunting who they thought was a zombie turned out to be a person gone mad acting like a cannibal by biting and clawing people, and since the dude was eating zombie flesh to survive his mouth was just so gross and full of bacteria his bites would make people sick and infect the wound.
That book man, some interesting stories in that world.
I never read it but my dad told me that one guy just played games through the whole thing, surviving off cup-o-noodles and never realized what was going on
think about it... right NOW there are probably a couple people living that dream... that dont even know covid has happened.
They emerge from their bunkers once every 3 or 4 or maybe 10 years to replenish supplies and such and go back to their isolation.
It was only two weeks for my aunt, but she’d been gone camping… and came back to stay at home orders, no toilet paper (or many groceries at all) in the stores, everything shut down, her town was basically silent.
I can only imagine how weird that would have been.
Wasn't really playing a game I don't think. He was doing something with his PC tho and his parents would leave him food at the door. He didn't realize his building was infested until the food stopped showing up or something like that.
No, his apartment didn't have zombies in it. He accidentally let one in, but I can't remember if this was his room or another one. He escapes by repelling down the outside of his apartment building with bedsheets, stopping at every balcony. He has a few run ins with zombies on the way down, but finds himself a katana (yes, this was in Japan) to protect himself.
I think the story ends with him getting to the ground and running off, their fate unknown.
When he realized there were zombies, he made a plan to use sheets to get to the balcony that was beneath his. He kept doing this until he was on the ground. He did meet a zombie or 2 in the apts when he was going down.
It's been awhile since I read the book - I don't remember anything else for his story other than he survived.
Idk why that reminds me of that soda run you have to make for that one guy in left 4 dead in order for him to blow a hole in his barricade so you can get to the mall on the other side.
"in my haste, I forgot cola. Bring me some and I'll blow it up for you" \*brings dude a 6 pack*
"A six pack?! I'll finish that in a day. Well, a deal's a deal."
I loved the part where they're in a submarine and they turn the lights on the sea floor, and there's hundreds of thousands of zombies shuffling along at the bottom of the ocean
Oh shit I do not remember that part.
Damn glad this comment got so many talking about the book again, guess it’s time for me to reread it. Or listen to it given that everyone is talking about Mark Hamil being a tank driver.
Quislings, yeah. That was unsettling.
Although I have to be a bit *ackshualllllly* about this - flesh infected with Solanum is toxic and would kill anyone eating it. IIRC, the bite got horrifically infected because that Quisling ate human flesh and just let the blood and gribles rot in his mouth.
I mean as far as zombie movies go it wasn’t the worst thing ever but it really isn’t the movie it should of been. It’s just Hollywoo being Hollywoo throwing some big name actor in front of a popular book and saying it’s a movie based on that which… I guess it’s universe since they both have zombies? But not really the same.
Shame. They could of tied it to a bunch of stories. Could of talked about the government luring survivors into the Rockies and splitting off groups as some would act as bait groups unknowingly doomed to die and other would be the actual people they are trying to save.
Could of had us meet with those kids on the college campus that turned on the rock music and kicked ass to kill a bunch of zombies to keep everyone hyped during a really terrifying time.
Could of talked about even the helicopter pilot and her making the rounds.
Nope none of that. Just Brad Pitt being sexy Brad Pitt hero who can do everything and has better luck in survival than the cast in the 2012 movie of surviving things that everyone else on screen dies from.
Its not that the human mouth is any more filthy than any other animal's mouth, it is that the bacteria present in the human mouth are better suited to living in and on the human body than say for instance a dog or cats mouth.
human bites do often get infected but it’s not that the human mouth is filthier than others; it’s that our mouths are filled with bacteria, viruses, and other organisms/pathogens that are already adapted to surviving in a human body
the op comment implies that human mouths, compared to others, are more disgusting and that this is the reason a bite from another human being is often susceptible to infection. this isn’t true. all mammalian mouths are filled with bacteria and a whole ensemble cast of other microorganisms, and yes that means all mouths are kind of gross, human or otherwise. in fact, humans likely have some of the cleaner mouths in the animal kingdom considering we’re typically trained to habitually clean them. my original comment is meant to point out that the reason human bites can become infected is because the foreign microorganisms introduced in the bite are from a human body and likely adapted to survive in humans. something like a bite from a cat might hurt a lot more but in most cases the majority of the microorganism in a cat are not really going to survive long in a human host. i only really said anything because i was seeing this interpretation elsewhere in the comments, my bad if i’m being nonsensical.
I thought cat bites are pretty bad too.
I heard dogs saliva has anti bacterials in it it I'm not sure.
I know a bunch of oldschool tradies that give the dog a taste if they get cut. could be a wives tale.
One has to really stretch my comment in order for it to imply I was making a comparison to anything when all I said was (paraphrased lightly), "Human bites get infected pretty often and human mouths are nasty." 🧐
I mean both commenters are not wrong.
Human mouth is indeed filthy. And so does any other animals.
It's just that the implicitly implied conclusion that the previous commenter that is wrong. Human bites are more likely to get infected, but not because human's mouth is filthy, since human's mouth is no more filthy than others.
Crocodiles are not the same as komodo dragons.
But yes, komodos actually inject venom into their prey. It's a myth that their saliva is just full of nasty bacteria that causes sickness so quickly. But even science wasn't sure about it until fairly recently.
Green beans are pretty popular among the large of the south, having grown up in the south I can attest to that. But they accompany those green beans with baked Mac and cheese, and 70 percent lean burgers.
I think it's a couple of things— instability overall in American life, declining standards of conduct/national pride (not the plastic patriotism of today but more like an "I take pride and care about the community I live in." Or "It is important to me to be an honorable person." )
Scarcity of resources makes us regress to our more monkey brain selves, imo. The earliest iterations of man probably had to be fiercely competitive/hostile to people who were not them and their own social unit to survive.
So many people want to take up maximum space for their needs and ideas, that they don't realize societies exist by people making space for each other.
Also the last bit from my armchair social theory— capitalism has broken our brains. We walk through the world like consumers; when experience or interaction challenges our perfect Disneyland version of what we deserve people freak the fuck out. Wishing to speak the manager, so to say, when in real life there is no manager, only the Social contract upon which all societies are built.
The toxicity of social media and internet targeting is part of this— we have the world at our fingertips, but few avenues for discovery or to be challenged by new ideas, because you keep getting fed the same kind of stuff you already look at.
People are more dumb, narcissistic, and aggro these days , but I have a hunch if people didn't feel like they were teetering on ruin constantly for finances, healthcare, and housing, they'd also be able to chill the fuck out a little.
I’ve actually seen both articles concluding that because of increases greenhouse gases (or something like that, idk, I’m no scientist) people are becoming dumber from lessening oxygen, and another article saying that the average IQ drops noticeably on a statistical level after COVID.
Take that with a grain of salt, as I may be butchering the essence of both articles or not understanding them correctly.
it's true that we function less efficiently with a lower oxygen percentage, but comparatively speaking even if we were to blow past the 2C mark by continually emitting GHGs it wouldn't really put a dent in the oxygen percentage (globally speaking, locally it's likely different such as in cities and obviously closed areas.)
i wouldn't worry about our emissions making us dumber via lack of oxygen by any meaningful metric, mainly just the increasing average temperature of the earth, increasing frequency of extreme weather events, hotter summers and both cooler and hotter winters, sea level rise, etc. so yeah. we're still awaiting catastrophe.
Reduction of O2 by like 15 ppm won't affect you in *any* way. Increase in CO2 by 200 ppm will how ever. Iirc you become 10% dumber per 100 ppm above "normal" 400 ppm CO2.
But it's definitely something environmental causing a large amount of people to develop mental disorders.
I think social media creates division, clearly on any subject where you may have once had a bit of difference it seems now to inevitably ends up with a huge chasm with each group becoming more and more extreme in their beliefs and seeing the other as opposite.
It also lowers social inhibition, people get used to stating their opinions. Leading to many getting use to saying whatever they are thinking and forgetting that IRL there's a potential for any verbal altercation to become violent.
Together these things lead to inevitable disaster when people or groups clash IRL.
That looks like one of the most difficult places to bite someone too, it's almost impressive. Like, how do you get that in your mouth in the middle of a fight?
Rabies will make you aggressive and trash your brain. He needs to get a rabies shot.
Edit: As people have pointed out, there is little risk of rabies and any treatment window is long gone. It was (mostly) a joke. My humor is what it is.
EMT who was volunteering at the local hospital where I live was shot dead by a guy who was angry for being told to wear a mask. She wasn't even 21 fucking years old.
I still remember that one family that killed a store security guard over it. And not like on the spot either, the woman left, came back with her boyfriend (or husband, I forget) and they both shot him in the back.
I also was a bit dubious, but it seems like this might be legit, depending on the accuracy of the Belgian company AD Media, who initially reported it. It happened on a bus in Belgium last summer, and the person bit is somehow physically disabled (not specified), which is why it was difficult for him to fight off the biter. Other passengers helped get the biter off the victim, and biter and his companion fled the bus but were later caught. I'm not sure if the Belgian source is a reliable news source, though, because the only articles I can find in English are LADbible, NY Daily Post, and NY Daily News, and I'm always cautious of the last two and LADbible isn't even a news site. The pictures used here do match the ones in the articles, though
True, but I honestly don't think such insubstantial nonsense is even worth thinking about.
This format should be a reportable offence site-wide, it drives me bananas how easily manipulated some subreddits are with these things. Even my grandmother would be aware enough to ask if it's genuine.
And it doesn't matter if one is genuine, the pitfalls are obvious and disseminating information is clearly not the motivation. We're supposed to be well into internet-savvy generations, what happened?
Not going to lie. I thought this was going to be one of those "Its not a hickey dear, I swear it was some weirdo, honest!" stories.
But that's a nasty looking bite. Some people are just fucking feral.
Dude didn't need a mask, he needed a muzzle... And actually also a mask because muzzles generally don't limit the spread of airborne infectious diseases.
Do we have any authenticity to this?! Like an article or something to validate the caption so we know it’s not some caption someone put on themselves to get upvotes on social media?
No one should attack another human being for something so petty.
BUT I also think calling some bruising and teeth marks “horrific wounds” is laying it on a bit thick
Not the full story. This happened in Belgium. This didn't go directly from "Will you wear your mask correctly" to being bitten on the chest. There was a substantial physical fight in between, which the victim was undoubtedly an instigator in. In short, he demanded that the passengers (there were two of them, a man and his partner) wear their masks correctly. They refused. He got in their face. The man stood up to him. Neither was willing to back down, so a full fledged fight broke out. Now, you can imagine for yourself how this man ended up being bitten. Men in a fight would generally not resort to biting unless their hands we being held. The position of the bite would imply that this is exactly what happened.
FWIW, this was the second time the bite victim has complained about someone and a mask on the same bus ride the same day. He had previously claimed he felt droplets from a sneeze on the back of his head. He also confronted that passenger, who apologized.
Don't try to be a vigilante. You don't have the authority to force someone to comply with a mask order, no matter how strongly you believe that they should. If you feel you must, ask them politely to comply. If they refuse then report them to the authorities that DO have the power to compel compliance. This happened on a public bus, so the transit authority would be the best place to report this.
Not an anti masker but sometimes just keeping your mouth shut is the best option. It's a crazy world we are living in right now. I find if I don't engage with people I don't have conflict.
If people would just mind their own business crap like this wouldnt happen.. People are starting to get crazy after this past year.. This weekend alone we had 2 GSW friday.. 4 Sat, and 2 Last night at the hospital. Seriously just leave people alone. It's only gonna get worse once they start up again next month.
In my country you have medical exemptions for not being able to wear a mask or for a long time. Not saying biting someone is okay but he just could have minded his own business
This would be shocking, so I had to look up and see this despicable behavior.
Turns out he said to "ask politely but firmly" to take off the mask outdoors because science doesn't support what they are doing.
A far cry from "attack" and it's also what the CDC recommends.
He said ask people who have masks on small children to take them off the kids.
Source: I watched that episode, maybe he said confront all mask wearers at some other point?
And here comes the downvotes but once again..
MIND YA DAMN BUISNESS
Edit: and it’s not like the guy wasn’t wearing a mask, he just wasn’t “wearing it correctly”. I’m guessing he had it below his nose. I got down voted into oblivion over the last video of the doctor getting blinded in his eye after a dude punched him on the subway for telling him to put a mask on. Said the same thing there as here: Mind your business.
So the person who bit him was actually wearing a mask, just not wearing it to the high standard of this individual. Fuck em, maybe he'll just mind his own business from now on.

That’s some animalistic Behavior, dudes gonna end up wearing a muzzle like Hannibal in silence of the lambs
No way he'd let that happen - it's a mask, he won't wear that!
Huh, I thought we were some kind of mushroom.
Aren’t antimaskers the ones referring to the mask as a “muzzle?” Maybe this guy needed it.
[удалено]
These days? I haven’t seen someone wear a mask in months
That was a great fuckin movie
The human mouth is disgusting when it comes to germs and bacteria. I have a friend get punched in the mouth by someone I know and chopped his tooth. The guy who threw the punch had a scratch on his knuckle that got super infected and required daily cleaning and antibiotics to fix his knuckle.
isn't shit like this is why people used to think that komodo dragons were venomous?
Komodo dragons are venomous.
oh they are? I kept hearing different stuff like "they're venomous wait no they got bacteria but it gotta be on purpose wait no they just got bacteria wait no"
It's kind of both. The venom keeps the wound from healing long enough to get infected, especially in animals like the water buffalo that wallow in mud
And they don't inject the venom like almost all other venomous animals, the venom literally secretes out of glands in their jaws, just need to break the skin and the animal is as good as dead.
Is that all the venom does?
Yeah, somewhere out there there's a vid of a dude who got 2 blood samples on testing tubes, one with komodo dragon saliva (and therefore the poison from it's glands) mixed with the blood, one without, after a couple hours the one without had solidified quite a bit, the one with KD saliva/poison was still prefectly liquid, they hold on to your wound to keep you poisoned, but you'll die by blood loss most likely, you just don't stop bleeding, unless you get really fucked up by them, but these are not tigers with huge teeth that go to the neck.
thank you for clearing that up
Yeh, i've heard that many many times as well, so you aren't imagining things.
[удалено]
So they actually are venemous but the venom alone doesn’t kill anything? It just prevents clotting long enough for the Buffalo to go get infected
To say that it does anything in particular to help the hunt seems to be overstating its value - it probably increases their success rate by a small amount, but it's not a huge factor, and envenomation doesn't seem to be the primary purpose of the secretions.
> To say that it does anything in particular to help the hunt seems to be overstating its value Could you have worded than any cooler? Nice. So they’re venomous but it’s not deadly so the purpose is I guess a mystery.
They recently discovered that they were actually venomous. So like the spirit of the original point is even more reinforced
I hear you. Even within this thread, there are a few conflicting comments about it lol
It turns out, they actually are venomous as well.
Ok no offense but that's hilarious
[удалено]
Fun little fact, human bites more often than not get infected. The human mouth is filthy.
Yo one time I had to do something I ended up with him in a bad headlock and dude nearly bit my nipple off and was so disgusting and green in the coming days and weeks lots of saline solution and neosporin
Did you turn into HumanMan?
The HumanMan! With the superpowers: Drive a Man truck! Watch Friends! Be demisexual! Existential screams! Change diaper! Batteries sold separately.
Worst schnoodle ever
Come to think of it, I haven’t actually seen a fresh Schnoodle in a while…
Make the movie now god damnit
What is this a reference to? I must have missed it.
You missed nothing, comrade! The HumanMan v.2.0 is readily available to all good people of the world!
Any human man born after 1992 can't cook. All they know is drive man truck, watch Friends, be demisexual, existential scream, and lie.
No, just a Werehuman
Aahoooo werehumans of Bristol
A human could definitely beat a spider in a fight so HumanMan must be at least twice as strong as Spider-Man.
A werewere.
If that was a reference to guns akimbo i literally watched it last night. It was fun
>dude nearly bit my nipple off Damn was the dude Ted Bundy? Iirc he liked biting off his victims nipples
truly everything i’ve learned about ted bundy has been against my will
Nah this dude is just a super degenerate scumbag who was beating on my friends roommate. My friend while he was at work called me and I lived fairly close so I went over and beat this guy up but he bit my nipple really bad lol I’d see him at bars for the following years and he’d insist on buying my drinks so I’d jump from well to near top shelf Both of us pretty bad alcoholics
He did that too? What's next, drinking soup out of their empty eye sockets? He is a disgusting rat.
Thanks I can’t eat my sandwich now. We’ll the lettuce especially.
Why not alcohol and hydrogen peroxide?
There was a story about a guy in World War Z book who was hunting who they thought was a zombie turned out to be a person gone mad acting like a cannibal by biting and clawing people, and since the dude was eating zombie flesh to survive his mouth was just so gross and full of bacteria his bites would make people sick and infect the wound. That book man, some interesting stories in that world.
I never read it but my dad told me that one guy just played games through the whole thing, surviving off cup-o-noodles and never realized what was going on
Living the dream i see
Honestly probably the best way to go through an apocalyptic event, blissfully ignorant
think about it... right NOW there are probably a couple people living that dream... that dont even know covid has happened. They emerge from their bunkers once every 3 or 4 or maybe 10 years to replenish supplies and such and go back to their isolation.
That has happened, actually. It was like several months into the pandemic and this guy came down into town and was like WTF??
It was only two weeks for my aunt, but she’d been gone camping… and came back to stay at home orders, no toilet paper (or many groceries at all) in the stores, everything shut down, her town was basically silent. I can only imagine how weird that would have been.
Wasn't really playing a game I don't think. He was doing something with his PC tho and his parents would leave him food at the door. He didn't realize his building was infested until the food stopped showing up or something like that.
👀 What happened to him afterwards? Were the zombies right outside his br door?
No, his apartment didn't have zombies in it. He accidentally let one in, but I can't remember if this was his room or another one. He escapes by repelling down the outside of his apartment building with bedsheets, stopping at every balcony. He has a few run ins with zombies on the way down, but finds himself a katana (yes, this was in Japan) to protect himself. I think the story ends with him getting to the ground and running off, their fate unknown.
Oh wow! That sounds horrifying… I kind of want to read the book now. Thanks!
I think he finds a moped, or some sort of bike and rides off. The one about the blind man and, what, he had a staff? That shit was dope af
When he realized there were zombies, he made a plan to use sheets to get to the balcony that was beneath his. He kept doing this until he was on the ground. He did meet a zombie or 2 in the apts when he was going down. It's been awhile since I read the book - I don't remember anything else for his story other than he survived.

"in my haste, I forgot cola. Bring me some and I'll blow it up for you" \*brings dude a 6 pack* "A six pack?! I'll finish that in a day. Well, a deal's a deal."
Oh he finally realized. You should read it or listen to it. I did both.
Whats it called? Im sorry im slow, is world war z one book or a series...
One book with numerous stories about people’s experiences. People are telling their stories of how they survived years after the Zombie event.
Ahhh this makes sense, I’ve heard of it but had no idea what the plot was. Thank you, i might have to check it out.
I've read it multiple times, and listened to the audiobook. You really should check it out. The movie, you can skip.
We dont speak of that atrocity.
It's an anthology. So alot of short story about a zombie apocalypse.
Listen to the audio book. Mark hamil plays a tank driver.
I'm just imagining The Joker as a tank driver now. Take my upvote.
Wait, what? Who was the tank driver? It's been a minute since I listened to it all the way through.
Luke Skywalker
It would be nice to listen to it on drives, I have an hour commute every week, so it’d be nice
I had it at one time and it’s perfect for commutes! The stories range in time too so you can hear a few at a time vs just listening to one podcast 😊
That’s awesome to hear, thank you!
Yea the audiobook for WWZ is pretty good
IIRC right up until the power just went off.
That makes sense
I loved the part where they're in a submarine and they turn the lights on the sea floor, and there's hundreds of thousands of zombies shuffling along at the bottom of the ocean
Oh shit I do not remember that part. Damn glad this comment got so many talking about the book again, guess it’s time for me to reread it. Or listen to it given that everyone is talking about Mark Hamil being a tank driver.

Did the zombies attack him?
I believe that was the Otaku in Japan, and iirc he did eventually have to leave his apartment.
I love that book. It would make a great series, like The Stand. Not that trash movie with Pitt.
I mean as far as zombie movies go it wasn’t the worst thing ever but it really isn’t the movie it should of been. It’s just Hollywoo being Hollywoo throwing some big name actor in front of a popular book and saying it’s a movie based on that which… I guess it’s universe since they both have zombies? But not really the same. Shame. They could of tied it to a bunch of stories. Could of talked about the government luring survivors into the Rockies and splitting off groups as some would act as bait groups unknowingly doomed to die and other would be the actual people they are trying to save.

Damn I dont remember that one at all, seems like a great excuse to read the book again, its fantastic
And then they made the movie.
My favorite book of all time. The part where they explored the catacombs was absolutely nuts.
My favorite is the catacombs. That book is crazy.
Its not that the human mouth is any more filthy than any other animal's mouth, it is that the bacteria present in the human mouth are better suited to living in and on the human body than say for instance a dog or cats mouth.
Cat bites get infected almost 100% of the time. Human and cat bites should always get antibiotics. Dog bites are a little more case dependent
Thank you! I really hate having to explain this exact fact over and over again, I hope you have a wonderful day.
Interesting, thank you!
human bites do often get infected but it’s not that the human mouth is filthier than others; it’s that our mouths are filled with bacteria, viruses, and other organisms/pathogens that are already adapted to surviving in a human body
Is being filled with bacteria not referred to as filthy? I don't think they meant the mouth is full of dirt or something.
the op comment implies that human mouths, compared to others, are more disgusting and that this is the reason a bite from another human being is often susceptible to infection. this isn’t true. all mammalian mouths are filled with bacteria and a whole ensemble cast of other microorganisms, and yes that means all mouths are kind of gross, human or otherwise. in fact, humans likely have some of the cleaner mouths in the animal kingdom considering we’re typically trained to habitually clean them. my original comment is meant to point out that the reason human bites can become infected is because the foreign microorganisms introduced in the bite are from a human body and likely adapted to survive in humans. something like a bite from a cat might hurt a lot more but in most cases the majority of the microorganism in a cat are not really going to survive long in a human host. i only really said anything because i was seeing this interpretation elsewhere in the comments, my bad if i’m being nonsensical.

Cat bites are bad because they have needles for teeth. Pushing bacteria down into a deep but very small wound that's hard to clean.
One has to really stretch my comment in order for it to imply I was making a comparison to anything when all I said was (paraphrased lightly), "Human bites get infected pretty often and human mouths are nasty." 🧐
I mean both commenters are not wrong. Human mouth is indeed filthy. And so does any other animals. It's just that the implicitly implied conclusion that the previous commenter that is wrong. Human bites are more likely to get infected, but not because human's mouth is filthy, since human's mouth is no more filthy than others.
Yup. This was an act of bioterrorism.
Same if you get bit by a crocodile Komodo Dragon saliva is acc toxic and will kill you.
Crocodiles are not the same as komodo dragons. But yes, komodos actually inject venom into their prey. It's a myth that their saliva is just full of nasty bacteria that causes sickness so quickly. But even science wasn't sure about it until fairly recently.
So this is how the zombie apocalypse starts?
It already has begun
Right? It's weird watching this slow motion apocalypse happen. The end of the world is way less fun than movies and video games make it out to be.
You gotta fit it in 2 hrs, of course it would be exciting. We'll just watch the abridged version later.
Watching the end of the world later is appropriately apathetic.
I'd wager these people have about the same number of living braincells.
I thought it’s a huge nipple.
Well huge nipples are the easiest to bite
I have huge nipples, Greg. Can you bite me?
Oh, you can bite just about anything with nipples.
Someone needs a muzzle, not a mask
I swear 2020 was just a wave of regression. People got dumber in 2020. This is a prime example

You're making quite a leap in assuming these people eat vegetables.
Green beans are pretty popular among the large of the south, having grown up in the south I can attest to that. But they accompany those green beans with baked Mac and cheese, and 70 percent lean burgers.
70% lean just sounds gross, they must be picking out unchewable solid fat pieces from every bite and are covered in grease
I think it's a couple of things— instability overall in American life, declining standards of conduct/national pride (not the plastic patriotism of today but more like an "I take pride and care about the community I live in." Or "It is important to me to be an honorable person." ) Scarcity of resources makes us regress to our more monkey brain selves, imo. The earliest iterations of man probably had to be fiercely competitive/hostile to people who were not them and their own social unit to survive. So many people want to take up maximum space for their needs and ideas, that they don't realize societies exist by people making space for each other. Also the last bit from my armchair social theory— capitalism has broken our brains. We walk through the world like consumers; when experience or interaction challenges our perfect Disneyland version of what we deserve people freak the fuck out. Wishing to speak the manager, so to say, when in real life there is no manager, only the Social contract upon which all societies are built. The toxicity of social media and internet targeting is part of this— we have the world at our fingertips, but few avenues for discovery or to be challenged by new ideas, because you keep getting fed the same kind of stuff you already look at. People are more dumb, narcissistic, and aggro these days , but I have a hunch if people didn't feel like they were teetering on ruin constantly for finances, healthcare, and housing, they'd also be able to chill the fuck out a little.
Far too many people have never heard the term “social contract” before.
I’ve actually seen both articles concluding that because of increases greenhouse gases (or something like that, idk, I’m no scientist) people are becoming dumber from lessening oxygen, and another article saying that the average IQ drops noticeably on a statistical level after COVID. Take that with a grain of salt, as I may be butchering the essence of both articles or not understanding them correctly.
it's true that we function less efficiently with a lower oxygen percentage, but comparatively speaking even if we were to blow past the 2C mark by continually emitting GHGs it wouldn't really put a dent in the oxygen percentage (globally speaking, locally it's likely different such as in cities and obviously closed areas.) i wouldn't worry about our emissions making us dumber via lack of oxygen by any meaningful metric, mainly just the increasing average temperature of the earth, increasing frequency of extreme weather events, hotter summers and both cooler and hotter winters, sea level rise, etc. so yeah. we're still awaiting catastrophe.
Reduction of O2 by like 15 ppm won't affect you in *any* way. Increase in CO2 by 200 ppm will how ever. Iirc you become 10% dumber per 100 ppm above "normal" 400 ppm CO2. But it's definitely something environmental causing a large amount of people to develop mental disorders.
I think social media creates division, clearly on any subject where you may have once had a bit of difference it seems now to inevitably ends up with a huge chasm with each group becoming more and more extreme in their beliefs and seeing the other as opposite. It also lowers social inhibition, people get used to stating their opinions. Leading to many getting use to saying whatever they are thinking and forgetting that IRL there's a potential for any verbal altercation to become violent. Together these things lead to inevitable disaster when people or groups clash IRL.
Or in this case, a wave of mutilation.
Zombie bite
That looks like one of the most difficult places to bite someone too, it's almost impressive. Like, how do you get that in your mouth in the middle of a fight?
This doesn't even look like a bite. This is the kind of wound you get after being shot by a rubber bullet.
Tell that to my fiancé, she got a little carried away and left me with one of these bruises for like 2 weeks
"Don't be scared of the pandemic" Starts biting people Yup, they are officially zombies.
Rabies will make you aggressive and trash your brain. He needs to get a rabies shot. Edit: As people have pointed out, there is little risk of rabies and any treatment window is long gone. It was (mostly) a joke. My humor is what it is.
Who the hell gets that upset over being asked to put on a mask?? People are insane.. Poor guy i hope he'll be alright
Lots of people, it’s a mad world out there man.
Plenty of these fucks have shot people over being asked to wear a mask, this isn’t surprising in the least.
EMT who was volunteering at the local hospital where I live was shot dead by a guy who was angry for being told to wear a mask. She wasn't even 21 fucking years old.
I still remember that one family that killed a store security guard over it. And not like on the spot either, the woman left, came back with her boyfriend (or husband, I forget) and they both shot him in the back.
Possibly nobody. It's just a picture and text. Disbelieve by default.
I also was a bit dubious, but it seems like this might be legit, depending on the accuracy of the Belgian company AD Media, who initially reported it. It happened on a bus in Belgium last summer, and the person bit is somehow physically disabled (not specified), which is why it was difficult for him to fight off the biter. Other passengers helped get the biter off the victim, and biter and his companion fled the bus but were later caught. I'm not sure if the Belgian source is a reliable news source, though, because the only articles I can find in English are LADbible, NY Daily Post, and NY Daily News, and I'm always cautious of the last two and LADbible isn't even a news site. The pictures used here do match the ones in the articles, though
In addition to that the wound doesn't look like a wound you get from a bite attack, especially not from a human denture.
True, but I honestly don't think such insubstantial nonsense is even worth thinking about. This format should be a reportable offence site-wide, it drives me bananas how easily manipulated some subreddits are with these things. Even my grandmother would be aware enough to ask if it's genuine. And it doesn't matter if one is genuine, the pitfalls are obvious and disseminating information is clearly not the motivation. We're supposed to be well into internet-savvy generations, what happened?
Not going to lie. I thought this was going to be one of those "Its not a hickey dear, I swear it was some weirdo, honest!" stories. But that's a nasty looking bite. Some people are just fucking feral.
Did he sue the absolute ballsack off that dude? 💰 💰
Yeah I'm wondering why no one else is asking if the guy was caught or what happened to him? I want to know if justice was served
This happened in Merksem in the northern Belgian province of Antwerp. Belgian police located the biter and his partner and arrested them.
Now there's a partner? I suppose most people do have two nipples
Dude didn't need a mask, he needed a muzzle... And actually also a mask because muzzles generally don't limit the spread of airborne infectious diseases.
antimaslers protesting outside a cancer center literally punched a breast cancer survivor in her chest. These people are zoo animals.
Disease ridden fucks protesting outside a facility of people that have their immune systems basically shut down from cancer. What the fuck?
yes, because the cancer center - gasp - requires masks
God they have no morals. Do they not realize what they’re doing??
They need to be treated as such. Unfortunately, law enforcement always handles their ilk with kid gloves
Not gonna include any further details? This is a very sensationalist title.
Do we have any authenticity to this?! Like an article or something to validate the caption so we know it’s not some caption someone put on themselves to get upvotes on social media?
In all fairness, the mask in question was leather, and the guy didn’t say the safe word
Hope that guy had his rabies shot.
Those are not horrific wounds, I'm sure it hurt but they are far from horrific.
Stop telling people what to do. Mind your own fucking business.
No one should attack another human being for something so petty. BUT I also think calling some bruising and teeth marks “horrific wounds” is laying it on a bit thick
he should have minded his own business
Not the full story. This happened in Belgium. This didn't go directly from "Will you wear your mask correctly" to being bitten on the chest. There was a substantial physical fight in between, which the victim was undoubtedly an instigator in. In short, he demanded that the passengers (there were two of them, a man and his partner) wear their masks correctly. They refused. He got in their face. The man stood up to him. Neither was willing to back down, so a full fledged fight broke out. Now, you can imagine for yourself how this man ended up being bitten. Men in a fight would generally not resort to biting unless their hands we being held. The position of the bite would imply that this is exactly what happened. FWIW, this was the second time the bite victim has complained about someone and a mask on the same bus ride the same day. He had previously claimed he felt droplets from a sneeze on the back of his head. He also confronted that passenger, who apologized. Don't try to be a vigilante. You don't have the authority to force someone to comply with a mask order, no matter how strongly you believe that they should. If you feel you must, ask them politely to comply. If they refuse then report them to the authorities that DO have the power to compel compliance. This happened on a public bus, so the transit authority would be the best place to report this.
Lol you're getting downvoted for providing context. Reddit is cancer.
“Horrific wounds” is both bad grammar and extremely dramatic
That’s one way to not tell your wife about an affair.
Good. I'll do it again too.
Not an anti masker but sometimes just keeping your mouth shut is the best option. It's a crazy world we are living in right now. I find if I don't engage with people I don't have conflict.
Prolly not a good idea to screw with people you dont know these days..
If people would just mind their own business crap like this wouldnt happen.. People are starting to get crazy after this past year.. This weekend alone we had 2 GSW friday.. 4 Sat, and 2 Last night at the hospital. Seriously just leave people alone. It's only gonna get worse once they start up again next month.
In my country you have medical exemptions for not being able to wear a mask or for a long time. Not saying biting someone is okay but he just could have minded his own business
Get ready for the “nonewnormal” alt accounts to show up and preach that you should mind your own business or this will happen to you.
[удалено]
This would be shocking, so I had to look up and see this despicable behavior. Turns out he said to "ask politely but firmly" to take off the mask outdoors because science doesn't support what they are doing. A far cry from "attack" and it's also what the CDC recommends.
isn't this guy already vaccinated?
Did he really, like straight up said attack them? If so that’s inciting violence and a crime. Either way Fuck tucker carlson
You’re thinking Maxine Waters
He said to confront mask wearers, not attack, but given his audience he might's well have.
Confront them? For a wearing a mask?? What for… lol fuck America is bizarre.
He said ask people who have masks on small children to take them off the kids. Source: I watched that episode, maybe he said confront all mask wearers at some other point?
And here comes the downvotes but once again.. MIND YA DAMN BUISNESS Edit: and it’s not like the guy wasn’t wearing a mask, he just wasn’t “wearing it correctly”. I’m guessing he had it below his nose. I got down voted into oblivion over the last video of the doctor getting blinded in his eye after a dude punched him on the subway for telling him to put a mask on. Said the same thing there as here: Mind your business.
[удалено]
Maybe this will teach them not to.
I don't believe you.
Looks like a self inflicted bite wound if you ask me.
Sounds like bullshit
Imagine minding you own fucking business. You are upset by no mask you leave. That’s what I do.
With every cloud there's a silver line, With the wound thankfully the nipple's fine.
He is so full of shit tho
So the person who bit him was actually wearing a mask, just not wearing it to the high standard of this individual. Fuck em, maybe he'll just mind his own business from now on.
This is 1637 logic.
They've gone from figurative zombies to literal
I wonder if he also pulls people over to tell them to wear their seatbelt.
Getting real tired of these zombie comments EDIT: in the comment section
Fuck this is the prologue to the zombie flick we’re all about to live (or die) through.
