TIL that this cartoonish piranha catching technique actually works

Ok Now you have a bucket of piranhas. ?

Piranhas are one of those things I thought I'd need to worry about when I was young.ike quick sand and properly identifying if something is good or fool's gold.

Ok, so why would anyone want to catch a piranha? Are they tasty or something?

They're almost certainly starved. Piranha's don't normally swarm like this

I can't tell from the video if the water is just muddy or if it's actually, y'know, gross. Is it safe to eat the fish from that river?

Also, I'd always heard they didn't do that unless they were starving. Which makes me think not much is surviving in that water, making me think it might not be safe to eat the fish :/

Though, I imagine if you're desperate for protein, such things are secondary concerns at best

Wait until you find out how they catch catfish

What about barefoot! Those Brazilians are crazy lol

how they don't bite each other in the middle of that caos

So you end up with chowder pretty much.

There's a few videos online of piranhas absolutely stripping animal carcases. Shits gnarly.

Damn, and I thought I was smart for making stock from bones
