I hate jellyfish

[fonzee]

Just because its dry doesn't not mean that you cannot get stung. I just want to keep that in mind since most people forget. I think they could have some of the benefits that fish products do, but with less smell. seems like the would break down relatively easy, specially if re-hydrated.

Thats... odd.
So what should I do to keep myself from getting stung while handling them?

I second that. I would be afraid of even touching the soil! I have to say though that you have me pretty interested!

I mainly feel sorry you cant go swimming with all those jellyfish around!

Me too, they ruined me 2 visits to the sea :X
But I will avenge!

Yeah.....loads of Jellyfish around the island I live on.......one of my dogs got stung on the nose the other day by one....lol!......He went a bit crazy and rubbed his nose in the sand for a bit....

.....was wondering if they would make good compost, and apparently so...interesting thread....

Luckily I didn't take my dog those days. Mainly because he is hyperactive and would probably try to eat the waves. Or attack children. Or eat sand. Or something.
Last time I took it, he chased down a 8 year old and bit his leg (gently!). The kids father mainly laughed at the situation but thats not a nice thing to be doing.
Plus, he fills my car with sand - which is annoying.

Not trying to get in your pocket or anything, but can you really pay for an island with the money you get from this site? :S

Lol....

I didn't say I owned an island.......I said that I lived on one, well for part of the year, so do many other people live there.....

Something like the french people buying everything close to the sea in Ashdod (israel)?
They visit there for a month or two every year to bask in the sun and get loads of sunburns. Or something.

(they are filthy rich)

Is it a small island with coconuts type of island or more like cyprus type of island?

the coconut island sounds so much cooler.

As long as they're already dead, lol....sure, why not!

I have to say .. Harvest them Jelly fish! I hate Jelly Fish too.. If anyone has ever been in the Atlantic ocean after a storm at sea they know just how quickly a nice swim turns into a Phucked-Up situation and how a jug of ammonia is the only thing you want soon after..

I believe Ammonia is used to treat the stings? It's been a long time but I found myself in a huge group of jelly fish when I was a boy.. The current brought the mass of jelly fish in without warning. There was no way to get out of there without getting horribly stung.

So I'd say get a shrimp net, harvest then , wash them, grind them up and make a Jelly Fish emulsion or sun dry and grind just wear protective clothing!

Ewwwwwwew

You got the right idea. Btw, ammonia works but so does vinegar and urine.

I hate man o war, they always used to take over the beach nasty. Being a lifeguard peopl never see them when their small and entangled in seaweed People think their some kind of blue glass or plastic. Nasty mother suckers. Been stung by nothing bad, thought it was sea ice. Got stung twice and that shit hurttttttttttttttttttttt.

no......there are no French people on my bit of beach,(well none that I have ever seen or heard of) and mostly I try and stay out of the sun.....and harvest about 9000 coconuts which makes around 3 tons of copra when dried every 3 months or so.....since my bit of land has about 650 coconut trees on it....

......and the beach does have many jellyfish washing up on it at certain times of the year....big ones the size of a large dinner plate.....

Why don't you just use normal fertilizer like everyone else, at least you know what your getting. Jellyfish, interesting concept, how about starfish?

It was done tonto, I reported it. Thanks mods, I'll stay out of this thread now I know the beliefs of the person involved.

it was my second negative rep ever.

Sounds like a nice place

I'm a cheap-ass
Starfish don't wash all over the shore around here. Jellyfish are everywhere this time of the year.

Its all about using whatever available.

I don't know many people who like them.
I only justify their existence as dolphin food.

it was my second negative rep ever.

Its not about the negative rep, its about me not understanding what I did wrong.
Didn't mean to upset anyone and I'm sorry if I did.


I don't hold any grudge or anything like that. (especially for such a helpful forum member)

Apparently they have a gigantic impact on inner ocean warmth regulation!?(friggin english language)
They rise and descend daily, and through their gigantic numbers and propulsion system take cold and hot water with them- kinda like the oceans bubblestones.
It has been speculated that their sudden extinction would lead to global climatic chaos of unheard proportions-and possibly lethal consequences.

I bet the russians could make something that would do the same thing.

Weeeeeee....compost amendments.

Weeeeeee....compost amendments.

This is where anyone who hunts and composts jellyfish will end up.
Jellyfish hell!

Those must be non stinging ones.

I don't want to burn in jellyfish hell.....but If I did use jellyfish in compost,I'd harvest the dead ones from the beach.
Which seems like something I may never actually do....who knows.

 

[fonzee]

I will hunt every single jellyfish, here and in the next life and ELIMINATE that jellyfish hell!

I would much rather hunt them down just for the point of it, but it would be so much easier harvesting the dead dried ones. I'm a lazy person.
