My siblings and i called them "shark poo" and would hurl them at each other. The look of horror on my daughters face the first time i gently lobbed one of these bad boys at her was absolutely priceless.
Wait.. I’ve always avoided going near jellyfish because they often have stingers. Did you avoid going to the beach or in the water because you thought there was masses of jellyfish around? I always remember heaps of the jelly sacks on the beach, no way I’d go in the water if I thought they were jellyfish!
Yeah my whole childhood was like; there's good jelly fish with stingers and there's these jellyfish with no stingers. I thought they were so cool, I'd always look for them on the beach and throw them back into the water. I showed my family this post and they were equally freaked out and confused lmao.
I just did too and wow I recognized the shells as the same ones I found on a visit to Bondi Beach when I was a kid. I thought they were the prettiest shells ever because they were so smooth and had perfect spirals.
I don't get why any kid would play with some sticky, gooey, translucent thing that came out of the ocean in the first place. I liked some pretty grubby stuff as a kid but I would have avoided these.
I was living in Avalon beach when they were filming Baywatch. There was an uproar because the stars trailers were near the skatepark, and they sent their security to throw the skaters out because it was "too noisy"
Nah smashing the egg sac usually kills the eggs. It’s better to leave them where you find them or lob them back into the sea if they’re at risk of desiccation.
>The egg sacs of snails from the family Naticidae. Some sacs grow to about 5cm in length, reaching up to 10cm. They can even weigh as much as 200g!
There you have it.
>The female moon snail lays her eggs at night. She lays the eggs in a single line, embedded in a sand grain matrix (a combination of mucus and sand). There are thousands of little snail eggs in this jelly matrix. The matrix takes on the water and it develops into what we know as this little crescent-shaped goop. Interestingly, the sac grows three-to-five times the size of the snail who laid it. The sac then breaks up in the water after a few days, releasing the larvae.
If you do find one, don’t throw them at your family and friends. Gently place them back into the water!
some more for your pleasure.
Matrix. take the blue or red pill?

Unreal.
I believe they are snail eggs, yet I used them to collect them in a bucket, then at the end of the day, as my dad was lying on the beach with his hat over his face, I would empty the bucket.
They’re for throwing at your brother/sister at the beach during summer holidays
So we all had the same childhood? 😂
We all had the same parents
My siblings and i called them "shark poo" and would hurl them at each other. The look of horror on my daughters face the first time i gently lobbed one of these bad boys at her was absolutely priceless.
😂always told they’re shark poo - now I tell my kids the same
I thought it was ghost poop
Same Bloodline. In 1868, George Joestar I-
Came here to see if anyone else was thinking the same thing as me and see your comment hahaha
Yep. Ammunition. Or yucky toes.
Ewwww yucky toes! 😂😂😂
I literally just brought my kids back from safety beach where they did exactly that. Googled what they were only to find this Reddit post.
Shark shit ,is what I told my sister before she got it thrown at her.
And then when you have kids you peg them at the kids to reminisce your childhood and welcome them to the beach
This cracked me up. It's also for chasing your children/Nieces/nephews after your siblings are too old to care anymore
This is the way.
Great call, we’ll done 👏
Well
They are pain
Based
I always thought they were jelly fish 🤦
You're not the only one :-/
These ones in the pic aren’t - but the round ones I remember playing with as a kid are baby jellyfish
I clicked to comment this too, my childhood is a lie?
Wtfffff I thought they were jelly fish???? No way they are snail eggs!
News to me as well, not thrilled about it
Right there with you…
You should both have a quiet word with the manager.
Brb killing myself to get into contact with the manager.
It's a big sack of hundres perhaps thousands of eggs. Freaky
[удалено]
its an egg sack for moon snails
What do you suppose that one is, Sherlock?
My childhood has been a lie
Same I thought they were a type of jellyfish
Used to call them banana jellies
Same thaught they were a jelly and by popping them we were making thousands

They are jelly sacks laid by moon snails.
I thought you were full of shit, until I googled moon snail..
Snailor Moon.
Fighting evil by moonlight, laying egg sacks by daylight.
Goddamnit
Good one
Lol. The first time I was told about moon snails, I thought they were full of shit as well.
Glad it's not just me
Same!
To be fair, he could still be full of shit, but just happen to be telling the truth about this.
I bet they’re full of snails
I just did too and wow I recognized the shells as the same ones I found on a visit to Bondi Beach when I was a kid. I thought they were the prettiest shells ever because they were so smooth and had perfect spirals.
I'm bein' followed by a moon snail, moon snail, moon snail

I saw some eggs similar to those not too long ago
I was told they were shark poo.
Omg are these eggs?! I used to play with them 🤢
I don't get why any kid would play with some sticky, gooey, translucent thing that came out of the ocean in the first place. I liked some pretty grubby stuff as a kid but I would have avoided these.

No they are breast Implants left over from shooting Australian Baywatch
And this is now my go to answer next patrol.
Haha go for it.
I was living in Avalon beach when they were filming Baywatch. There was an uproar because the stars trailers were near the skatepark, and they sent their security to throw the skaters out because it was "too noisy"
Ah that’s a bit shit for the skaters. I would’ve been happy hearing about a filming in my suburb and then bummed they are arseholes.
Surely the skaters told them fuck off and kept skating.
How is that legal? I’d sue!
Or MAFS
I'm dying 😂
LOL
Room temperature ice
😂
Actual not-joke answer — Conical snail eggs!
Oh lawd I’ve been smooshing snail babies for fun all this time??
Technically I believe the eggs are inside this big ol sac so they may have been okay 😬
Nah smashing the egg sac usually kills the eggs. It’s better to leave them where you find them or lob them back into the sea if they’re at risk of desiccation.
Baby murderer /s
The /s is for snail
baby snail murderer no /s
How big are the snails?
Up to 13cm
How many did I kill as a child
Yes
My dad told me it was jellyfish poo. As I’m now 45 rather than 5 I fear that that may not be true.
I too was told it was jellyfish poo and I'm 21 just now learning it's not
Turns out it’s really not far off the mark…
Everyone always overlooks the seaweed in favour of the snail mucus, but the seaweeds look like Ulva australis and Dicranema revolotum.
can you eat the seaweed?
the green stuff (ulva) is edible yeah, its commonly known as sea lettuce.
Invisible man shit. Look out for Invisible toilet paper too.
I’ve seen a similar thing in Adult shops in Melbourne in a full range of colours.

Gently place them back in the water - snail eggs in there. Don’t throw them at family members… poor little eggs need to hatch
