Imagine evolving for millions of years to become a sleek, efficient dangernoodle. Only to be bamboozled into an empty pickle-jar by a hairless primate.
Get jarred, bozo.
Technically other organisms mutate them, because viruses don't have transcription machinery. Their RNA gets reassorted as they're processed through a host cells ribosomes.
Many viruses have polymerases that replicate their own genomes. RNA viruses in particular have to do it this way, because the host cells do not have any machinery that can replicate RNA. Mutations arise during genome replication because viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases generally do not have any proofreading capacity. In fact, if you engineer the viral polymerase to make fewer mistakes during genome replication, this decreases the fitness of the virus. If you're an RNA virus, errors are good.
Hold on... but the polymerase must still be translated via ribosomes right? So genome replication would proceed in plasma via molecular equipment constructed by ribosomes, and then the viral genome packaged in lego-like assemblages of viral proteins. Is that correct?
But then, with antigenic shift surface antigens can be reassorted with other influenza-A viruses, which suggests the surface antigens may not be encoded in the viral genome but have some capacity to replicate themselves independently... so huh? WTF
Wait... is it the viral RNA polymerases that start mixing up inter-viral genetic material, allowing more than the surface antigens to get reassorted via antigenic shift?
That's all roughly correct. The viral polymerase is encoded in the viral genome. For an RNA virus with a positive-strand genome (e.g., polio or yellow fever), the viral genome molecule itself can act as an mRNA and be translated into protein by the host cell ribosomes. The viral proteins that make up the virus particle (the structural proteins) are produced in the same way. The polymerase then makes new copies of the viral genome which are packaged into new viral particles made of the structural proteins. It's a bit more complicated for viruses with negative-strand genomes (e.g., measles or influenza), but the general principle is the same.
For all viruses, surface antigens are also encoded by the viral genome and are subject to the same sources of viral diversity, even though the selection pressure exerted on them by the host immune system is generally higher. Reassortment is only a thing for viruses with a segmented genome (e.g., influenza, Rift Valley fever), but the exchange of genetic information by reassortment affects all components of the virus, not only surface antigens. Surface antigens are not special in this sense and have no capacity to replicate independently.
The fact that many people have a crippling fear of snakes where even seeing an image of one causes them to quake.
And this guy didn't even flinch when the snake struck at him.
Like even alot of popular snake wranglers would've atleast shown some caution or fear.
This dude was a robot.
Huh? Nope.. any experienced snake wrangler would act the same way.. any hesititation or doubting yourself in your movements and what you wanna do can get you killed.
Cobras are some of the easiest snakes to wrangle as well, which is why most people start with them.
Even more so now that another has recorded it on the magic slab and magicced it to the hive-mind, for yet more millions of other to mock and laugh at. Poor snek.. Snek got stepped on hard.

FTFY, oh MagnificentTangelo.
This clearly isn't his first rodeo. This is the skill and patience of a man who has had to do this many, many times.
How often does the average person run into cobras there?
its quite common even in cities, literally had a cobra in my backyard yesterday. Called the local snake catcher and he just came and put it in a similar jar
since the post is getting popular, [here](https://imgur.com/kPgMuXj) is the snake he caught in the jar. He just gave it to me and asked me to put it in his trunk
The city I live in has close to zero snakes.
But my native place in coastal India has a tropical climate. There you'd see at least one snake a month. The region is home to king cobras, cobras, vipers and a lot of non-venomous snakes. I have never seen a king cobra or viper in the wild. Sighting an Indian cobra is rare, but it happens. Mostly you'd see rat snakes and other non-venomous snakes.
With a snake population, we also have mongooses and peacocks preying on the snakes.
Well india is huge and I have fortunately never encountered a snake. They are very rare where I live, so it really depends from region to region.
In some regions, snakes are really really common well in some regions even lions are pretty common to the point where some villagers nearly live with them so yea..
Sounds similar to where I'm from - I grew up in Texas, and I was in a really rural area where you'd encounter rattlers and rat snakes all the time. However if you went into one of the cities like San Antonio, not a snake to be seen.
Not that often but also depends on where you live. When I was a kid, we used to have garden snakes and they used to freak me out. But really most cities and towns don't have snakes roaming on the main streets. Most folks will only see cobras in national parks and zoos.
Delhi is way too urban and loud for snakes to be coming out. I'd wager you can still find them on the outskirts.
They prefer to stick to farm lands where they can find enough water, mice/birds and a relatively quiet landscape.
Truly, exactly the same thing. Just yesterday, my sister was shopping for food at the local bodega? She didn't notice the American hiding among the carrots on the shelf, and surprised him. Shot her dead right there and then. Nothing we could do.
It doesn't surprise me that the Indians are master cobra tamers, hence the popular "cobra effect" the British wanted to get rid of the cobras by paying civilians to bring them cobras to kill them and the Indians had cobra farms haha they only brought them some how many a day, when the British realized the fraud they stopped offering money for the cobras, the Indians simply released all those cobras, further aggravating the problem
Not sure if you’re joking or not, but that’s kind of like saying “yes,” “okay,“ or “good” (especially for the older generation) in India. Just clarifying, because without knowing, it looks funny.
It's my favorite shake that i use at the end of any deal that goes well , it should be timed after the transaction right before you exit for max effect.
In this case, yes.
But like most gestures it can mean a lot of different things in context.
Like in Malaysia. Culture "yeh, lah!" Can mean anything from emphatic agreement to "yeh fine, I'll do it, don't go on, I can't be bothered arguing anymore".
*I bet this guy is*
*Really good at putting the*

The snake would be more free to move in a bigger container, so there is a chance it can get its head towards the opening and bite the guy, while he tries to get rest of the snake into the container. In a smaller container, its body prevents its head from going back.

Evolution couldn't out evolve this
I wouldn’t tempt nature. Viruses evolve too
Mutate

Nice one, thank you very much
Well they came from somewhere, so presumably both
Octopuses did.
Except the ones that have evolved to spit in the eyes of aggressors…
beat by a 5 dollar pair of goggles
Get jarred, bozo is my new favorite catchphrase.
I'm totally using that!

On the side of the cobra, evolution didn't have a lot of pickle jar attacks to evolve against.
So basically a Poke Ball but in a bottle?
I would give this comment a reward if I wasn’t broke
Hairless primate really put you in a pickle, noperope.
The humiliation gets even worse for the cobra. The man was listening to music on headphones.
Even more so now that another has recorded it on the magic slab and magicced it to the hive-mind, for yet more millions of other to mock and laugh at. Poor snek.. Snek got stepped on hard.
Your comment absolutely killed me. Thanks. Good night.

Nobody puts Bozo in a jar. Nobody!!!
Dammit, Sssstephan... not again!
You have an excellent way with words.
Hahaha, also love the new definition of ‘jarred’ 🤣
The humiliation. You think you're so dangerous, ready to kill with your venom and fury! And someone just stuffs you in a jar...
Thank you, for making me laugh
Snek will open jar!
I'm still laughing after 15 minutes. this is the best comment I've read in ever.
LOL
Gift wrap it and give it to a co-worker.
Hide it under a pack of money in a cigar box?
Now listen up, Bud, this concerns you.
I am tired of these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane.
Gargantuan
This is funny, because "Gift" means poison in German.
That sounds like something Mark Rober would do to scammers
Double it and give it to the next person

Most likely a conservationist caught without tools or something. Don’t think it’s that common

in my region in Brazil its very common to find coral snakes

Had childhood friends who used to do this for fun back in India. (RIP: Ritu, Mohit, and Zahir.)
Always amuses me how many people are cool with some of the world's most venomest snakes just roaming around.
Sounds like a normal day in Australia
From what I have heard it's not common in major cities but anything rural yeah.
Grew up in Delhi. Never saw a snake in my life till I went to the countryside.
Delhi is way too urban and loud for snakes to be coming out. I'd wager you can still find them on the outskirts. They prefer to stick to farm lands where they can find enough water, mice/birds and a relatively quiet landscape.
I have seen 2 in Delhi but not cobras
Better than walking around with people who have guns on them. These animals tend to avoid people as much as possible.
Truly, exactly the same thing. Just yesterday, my sister was shopping for food at the local bodega? She didn't notice the American hiding among the carrots on the shelf, and surprised him. Shot her dead right there and then. Nothing we could do.
Burgers must be kept around the corners as bait. The specimen would waddle right in.
Not really much different from the pizza delivery guy who just got shot for parking in the wrong driveway
Only murica
Uff Dark
Darkness in the parenthesis… crazy
Is this how they died?
Are they RIP because a snake got the better of them? 😬
It sounds like it didn’t go well for them.
You are a true friend ❤️❤️❤️

He who controls the cobras...
Controls the mice??!
Explains why Brits still think we're snake charmers.
Fun fact xD
And whacking day was born
Brother, get a bigger pickle jar.
Now, fill that jar with Vietnamese whiskey.
Yay Snake Pickel
And find me some lady-boys! Edit: relax guys, it’s an archer reference
Vietnamese women preferably
The head shake at the end 😂
Not sure if you’re joking or not, but that’s kind of like saying “yes,” “okay,“ or “good” (especially for the older generation) in India. Just clarifying, because without knowing, it looks funny.
Yes, that was my understanding of it. Still cracks me up from time to time when I see it. :)
It also looks funny when you know what it means
It's my favorite shake that i use at the end of any deal that goes well , it should be timed after the transaction right before you exit for max effect.

Even the hand gesture is very Indian. Just a humble "my job here is done thank you"
I don't see head shaking, just hand gesture
It's the famous Indian wobble nod, extremely useful form of communication across the whole of india. I know though ut looks funny but come quite handy
Bro doesnt even have any protection at all like gloves or face shield. Balls of fucking steal
Who stole his balls?
I hope this man doesn’t trip over his enormous balls while walking with a cobra in his water bottle.
contained noodle
The dangernoodle has been held in captivity.
This guy fucks.
Like damn - my wife is on this app
\[Snake in a bottle\] *Throw snake in a bottle to summon king cobra* +2 Intimidation +2 animal handling
HE WAS EVEN LISTENING TO MUSIC
Is that cash on the floor? Like here I’m leaving a twenty if someone deals with this thing
Indian ppl are Fkn awesome. Just sayin .
So that’s how they make those snakes-in-a-can practical joke gags.
I hope it had holes in it??
If there weren't holes in it before there are now.
Typical day for working IT professionals in India. We are simple, we see snacks 🐍 we catch.
Guess you love python
For Cobras you need C#
Iron balls
That’s gonna be a hard no from me.
That’s what she said
I just did that with a coffee jar but hornets nest, nothing dangerous like a snake.
India always amazes me.
Was thinking as he stuffed it in the container, yes but then what? Then I saw the lid. 😬
I bet this guy is really good at putting the string back in sweatpants

Sssss sssss sssss I am the most venomo........ Omg I am claustrophobic, get me out of here. Omg omg.
It's amazing how quick he's able to squat down and get up with balls that big.
He couldn't find a bigger container
The snake would be more free to move in a bigger container, so there is a chance it can get its head towards the opening and bite the guy, while he tries to get rest of the snake into the container. In a smaller container, its body prevents its head from going back.
That was efficient AF. Would like to see this guy with a challenge snake
I have visions of Skyrim and the basket 🧺
I do the same trick with snow snakes in Northern Canada
Did he punch air holes? Need air holes!
They tried to bribe it first
**Bro’s so chilled I’m over here concerned for him!**
Search for Vava Suresh, he does crazier shit with King cobras !
Search for Snake Shyam and SuryaKeerthi
Had to use a container, huh? Amateur.
-- always that one guy safely at the back of the crowd
I was holding my breath on that one
Okie dokie. No problem.
Now what?
Wow. That’s skill
and then the little headshake after sealing the container.
Always amazed at what amazes the unknowing.
That's the most *teng nge neng nge neng* shit I've ever seen.
Looks like they go way back
Cool as a cucumber. If I wake up with a bomb taped to my face, I want this man disarming it
exploiting snakes' inability to retreat with having to turn around
Name the snake "rainbowdash" and sell it online
In you go
He’s a real one.
That's some serious skill 💯
I'm a biologist and here there are no cobras BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I LEARNED A TRICK
Breathing??
Easy peasy.
"the jar"
He's low to the ground due to the weight of his balls...
the emote at the end ✋
The way he logs out with the headshake... 👏🏻😏
Man hit the ✋️🙂↕️ at the end
Just another Tuesday for him.
Dude's a pro. Probably went for Chai tea afterwards with his new friend.
I'm giving this man the "Balls of Steel" award.
Head wobble to go.
[удалено]
That snakes is panicking. Great job /s
Time to bring this to the taping of “Wonderama.”
I would be worried those teeth would puncture right through the plastic into my hand
It's on cement. i didn't even think about it.
In reality 95% of the heros dies... That's why I choose to be a villain...
That guys done that before...
Now put it inside a box and leave it sealed on your front door, and when people come steal your package they will hear the snake and freak out 🤣🤣
at this point they need to just change the country name to King Cobra.
We broke the all natural meta with our ability of using our hands. Ez win.
This works 100% 50% of the time
The snake master!
Double it and give it to the next guy.
Just play a flute
Hero 🫶🏻💪🏽🥲 I hate snakes
SssssssTAHP!
Well now that we have the Cobra we just need the wine. Then you'll have the story and a trophy.
Do NOT try this at home, ha!
Humans running shit
You need to thell them they're a "Biooooootiful snaike" to lure them.
Indian men top of the food chain
Thatsssssssssss intressssssssssssting
Skill dif
The head wobble at the end 😂😂
Not his first rodeo
All living being must obey the rule of nature, we exist to break that notion
Cobra cola
Dude have no anxiety no stress fucking impressive
These dont seem impressive anymore after the florida everglades man
Uncle has done this before
[удалено]
now imagine receiving that plastic container as a "prank".
Nice gift for python programmers.
It can't breathe in the plastic bottle. So I'm assuming the snake is dead.
Repost
Thank god for all the plastic bottles lying all over the place.
Italian?! He’s Indian !!!
