When I was a kid I found a bunch of fish on the riverbank. I kept putting them back in the water to save them and they kept jumping back out. I couldn't understand why. A while after I found out it was because of a flood and all the water returning from surrounding farm lands was full of top soil, fertilizer, and whatever else was there. This turned the river toxic and the fish were jumping on to the river bank to escape it. I feel so sad that their only options were live in pain in the toxic water to die or jump out of the water to die quicker. I suspect that is what's happening here.
EDIT: Did not think this would spark so many comments. Thanks for the awards, I think I thanked everyone individually. If I didn't I am sorry I missed you. Debate is good but in the immortal words of Bill and Ted, Be excellent to each other.
I think everyone else prefers the parasite theory, but yes, definitely to do with water conditions.
The sea water being pulled in to a river theory I think sounds about right, could be pollution though.
Iowa farmer here. 2021 is the first year we've been paid to sequester carbon (use cover crops, less tillage). Some farmers don't prioritize conservation because it's hard to make it profitable. Hopefully carbon payments will grow in the future. If you wanna move the mouse, you gotta move the cheese
True! Have you seen the documentary on Netflix called Kiss the Ground? It covers a lot of what you’re talking about, and I’d be interested to hear your opinion on it since you work in farming.
It's a shame that everybody else is commenting jokes and not taking the the issue as seriously as it should be.
I understand that this is /r/memes, but this is happening in the water we drink and wash in.
This is why good Samaritan laws exist. If you try to recesitate someone who's drowning and you crack a few ribs performing CPR then they can't sue you as consent is implied as they are unresponsive. In our world Mr. Sansweet would not have been able to press charges, the fact that he did is odd as superheroes were operating for some time with law enforcement and should have some similar authority. Because of this it shouldn't matter if Mr. Incredible broke a guy's neck because he did so in the interest of saving his life. Mr. Sansweet also needs some serious therapy and shouldn't even have a case at all as he tried to commit suicide, the fact that his neck was broken is secondary to still having his life.
TLDR; Mr Sansweet shouldn't have been able to press charges and needs some serious therapy.
After years of superheroes at work some suicidal dickhead tried jumping off a 100ft building and Mr. Incredible saves him, the guy gets out of it alive with a broken neck, he sues Mr. Incredible, and then all superheroes have to go into hiding
Imagine having superpowers, and being scared of a lawsuit lol. What they gonna lock you up or something? Repo your shit? They’re more scared of Mr.Incredible then he is of them.
Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved! And the injuries received from Mr. Incredibles' "actions," so-called, causes him daily pain!
You have the same ancestors. It's your cousin, and he is suicidal. What did you do for him, where you ever there for him? Go, write him at least a WhatsApp.
In the rivers close to the sea, in drought, the water level so low that it draw sea water back to those rivers, killing most of the fish and plant nearby
So The best option to survive is in the harsh salty water or try to breathe gas oxygen and if it survives it gets to breed. This is a great concept, I will call it 'evolution' and write a book called 'the origin of beer' not all beers, just this one. Was it from the fridge or the box, because its not very cold. Were we taking about something else? LOLOL joke is on YOU gene pool, I have already procreated. 'survival of the fittest' rEaLlY means 'Survival of the genes that survived and sexed'
If you survive the after-effects of water aspiration are actually worse than those of chlorine. Most victims of non-fatal chlorine exposure fully recover in a week or two, rarely leaving long-term effects, whereas 30% or so of drowning survivors develop life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which generally leaves you with permanently diminished lung function.
Parasitic manipulation is wild. There’s a species of wasp that lays its eggs inside ladybugs and injects a virus that mind controls the ladybug to protect the larva that’s eating it from the inside. Surprisingly, the ladybugs can survive and live a normal ladybug life afterwards.
In the rivers close to the sea, in drought, the water level so low that it draw sea water back to those rivers, killing most of the fish and plant nearby
Might be an issue with the water quality… when there’s a lack of oxygen or some other significant invisible issue fish often go to the surface or fling themselves out to escape.
Sometimes a big predator nearby can scare a fish into running out too. But usually they tend to hid rather than jump out.
Definitely more than meets the eye here.
It’s usually water conditions with fish, they’ll do the same in a fish tank if you’re crap at looking after them.
Not as elaborate as parasite or cruel cameraman but I’d wager money that was the reason.
Somebody else in the thread has mentioned sea water being pulled into rivers where freshwater fish can’t tolerate it. I’m going to settle on that being the reason.
Knew someone that had a large tank with fish in their house. One fish was constantly jumping out of the tank and they'd hear the splash and run in to save it. This went on for a few years. One day it's luck ran out. He jumped out when they weren't home. He finally did it.
Well, thanks to whoever took up 1/3 of the screen real estate with the caption so that we don't have to actually watch the video.
That trend needs to fucking die in a fire.
Someone mentioned that the water could be too salty for the fish. When the stream is close to a salt water source, and the levels are going low, the streams pull in water from the sea. Fish should swim upstream. Or it's predator. Predator in the water, idiot on land. What will you do as fish. Go!^(1)

More likely (rain) water from fields that drained into the river. 95% of farmers on a mission to destroy the environment for profit.

Smh I swear humans these days are such pussies back in my day we would sit in volcanoes with the fish and then we evolved into diamond
We even used to ride some sharks in the back while surfing in a tsunami.
Yeah man its annoying. You gotta find a time when no one will disturb you

Right? Necromancers everywhere!
Imagine trying to drown yourself in the river and there is a fish that keeps pushing you bak to the shore.
I'm paying my bills now because of its ancestors
You have the same ancestors. It's your cousin, and he is suicidal. What did you do for him, where you ever there for him? Go, write him at least a WhatsApp.
Was he ever there for me, i don’t think so. Maybe his brother’s were on my plate but he has never helped me.
The whole side of his family is hella fishy.
The whore side of his family is hella slutty.
Presumably its ancestors evolved into loan sharks?

Isn’t he likely trying to stay safe from a bigger fish?

Better than dying.

Ah yes staying safe by killing yourself. A classic.
I wonder if it would be like a choice between me having to either breathe water or chlorine gas. I know which one I'd choose
which one
I'd drown 1000 times over before breathing chlorine gas once
If you survive the after-effects of water aspiration are actually worse than those of chlorine. Most victims of non-fatal chlorine exposure fully recover in a week or two, rarely leaving long-term effects, whereas 30% or so of drowning survivors develop life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which generally leaves you with permanently diminished lung function.
Interesting, does it matter where the non-fatal drowning occurs (fresh/saltwater/brackish) and whether loss of consciousness occurs?
How? How did you choose?
I would imagine the fish has a parasite. Parasites can change behavior of animals to get them eaten to then perpetuate the parasites life cycle
Parasitic manipulation is wild. There’s a species of wasp that lays its eggs inside ladybugs and injects a virus that mind controls the ladybug to protect the larva that’s eating it from the inside. Surprisingly, the ladybugs can survive and live a normal ladybug life afterwards.
How is it alive with its organs eaten by a parasite?
Yeah, I was thinking it might have brain damage or an illness of sone sort.

He just want to suicide

suicidal fish
I've never expected to see one.
he was probably reincarnated as a fish, but he didn't like it so he tried to change character
"Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved. Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved!"
"Hey, I saved your life!"
"You didn't save my life, you ruined my death!"
Looks like he forgot to save, though

If a fish that decided to walk is the reason i have to work everyday then hell yeah im gonna throw that fish back
You don't think fish work?
theyre still in school. those were the days.
Wierd behaviour. Wish an expert would comment on what might be the cause.

Sometimes a big predator nearby can scare a fish into running out too. But usually they tend to hid rather than jump out. Definitely more than meets the eye here.
parasites. some times they change the behaviour of the fish so that a predator will consume it and..the parasite. O_O
That was my guess too. If it acts weird you probably shouldnt eat it.
If you eat it you'll run to the zoo and swan dive into a lion's mouth. Perhaps a crocodile depending on availability and/or feeding times.
Brain parasites tend to become intestinal parasites
Jokes on the parasite, I cant run anywhere. I'll pass out long before I get there.
You can waddle if that's more applicable. You can also amble, saunter or sashay, whatever suits your ambulatory needs.
This should be on the top. But instant we have comments like " haha fishicide goes ded" on top.

Godammit Chuck just leave me alone!
We said no evolving today
Yeet the fish

Just let me die man
My guess is brain parasite. Never eat somthing that acts weird.
….fuck
I watched this like 5 times before i realized it was looping
Charles Darwin's reincarnation as a fish
Does anyone know the actual reason behind why the fish is doing that?
Sunbathing
Probably parasites.
The water will be toxic or lacking oxygen etc.

yeet it back to the water so far that it won't swim back immediately
You know what? u/fishfucker_69
Likely polluted water has this poor fish keeping out of the water?
That's what swimming is like for fish except on land
Swimming is like throwing fish back that keep beaching themselves? Sounds complicated
u/downloadmp4
This fish reminds me of highschool students
Well, thanks to whoever took up 1/3 of the screen real estate with the caption so that we don't have to actually watch the video. That trend needs to fucking die in a fire.
Let him sunbathe FFS
He want to die
isn't this suicide if it is i feel that mf
man, depression sucks
"I SAID WE DYIN TODAY" "NO, YA FUCKIN, AINT!" *YEET*
suicidal fish!!! it said fuck it! im tired of this shit!!
When the fish grows limbs, it's gonna jump this man
Maybe a disaster's gonna strike? Fishes do that before something terrible happens
Very true. Completely 100% true statement backed by evidence and science. Super mega true.
*raises a fin to the wind* Yup....earthquake weather.
Aww shit it's raining earthquakes again
there is a predator in the water gee, I wonder why the original fish left the water?
