Simply insert up to six salmon and wait! The fish are sequentially collided at 25 mph, reulting in one ultra-dense salmon, dispensed ass-first.

zxqwas@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 109d

If they run it in reverse it splits a dense salmon into many smaller salmon in a process called fisshion.

I'm more confused about the fact that the salmon go in backwards

Janx@piefed.social · 52 pts · 112d (3 replies)

Once inside, they instinctively swim against the strong current of water rushing downward. That means they end up moving backward down the spiral, eventually getting pushed out the bottom of the helix into the river.

This method has lead to better survival rates than when the fish were spilled over the top of the dam.

Their tails deceived me!! This large salmon collider will hopefully find the Biggs Bass-n particles that fishermen always say got away.

igmelonh@feddit.online · 9 pts · 113d

Yeah, though I can see how it looks like it's going the other way at first glance, what with the fish facing the wrong direction.

kriz@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 113d (3 replies)

But why do they have to back in?

Asafum@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 112d (1 reply)

Little known fact, the reverse beeping noise that large trucks use was taken from salmon. When they swim in reverse they all make that beep sound and researchers really love repetitive beeping noises when they're studying so they built it this way.

Source: the depths of my insanity.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 112d

As a repetitive beeping noise, I can confirm this is true

The Fish Cannon 2000 is a hydraulically, electrically, or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, water-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires fish caliber fish at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute). The FC2k and its derivatives have been the principal cannon armament of United Fish States military fixed-wing aircraft for over forty years, as of the turn of century.

Each of the cannon's six barrels fires once in turn during each revolution of the barrel cluster. The multiple barrels provide both a very high rate of fire—around 100 fish per second—and contribute to prolonged weapon life by minimizing barrel erosion and heat generation. The average time between jams or failures is in excess of 10,000 fish, making it an extremely reliable weapon.

RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz · 10 pts · 113d

You use this to combine several C-tier fish into one B-tier fish, or split a B-tier fish into multiple C-tier ones. Or same with other adjacent tiers, though there's some additional inefficiency penalties with higher tiers.

It's pretty useful for compact setups where you need a specific tier of fish, but it's much more efficient to collect all types fish and implement some filtering logic to route them by tier to where they're needed.

The sharknado guard dissolves the sharknado by guiding the flying sharks into the inner screw structure, forcing them down and safely into the sea. A few perfectly placed sharknado guards can reduce a small to medium sharknado to a normal shark-less sub EF3 tornado, saving many lives in the process.

I posit that it is infact a fish compressor. We have 6 entering the system on the left, based on the direction of the arrows. And a Fish Concentrate leaves.

The mechanical donut spline path calculator knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The spline path calculator uses deviations to generate corrective commands to direct the spline path of the mechanical donut from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

I don't have a caption, but it reminds me of the National Aquarium in Baltimore. One of the many attractions of the facility involves walking down several stories whilst sharks very visibly swim around you.

If given the opportunity, I'd recommend it. In case further enticement is needed, one of my first dates with my wife was taking her there and it seems to have worked out so far!

You kids these days with your fancy dancy fishy go rounds. When I was a kid all we had was the wobbly wheel of death. All but 1 of the fish would climb on, and then that 1 fish would start pushing with all their might and then jump on. Then the other fish would eventually lose their grip and flung fuck off.
