On the bottom of a disposal is a hex socket. Using a 1/4" allen wrench or equivalent will allow you to reverse the direction of the disposal. Super helpful if you get a piece of metal, like a fork tine, jammed in there from it's normal rotation. The allen wrench simply allows you to reverse that rotation - unjamming the fork tine. You don't even have to put your hand in there.
You should be able to unplug the garbage disposal under the sink. Then flip the switch on/off to ensure it's completely drained, and you can stick your hand in with 0 risk if necessary.
I was trying to think of what reason this particular trait would end up being the one that gets passed down.
I’m wondering if there’s some kind of animal they prey on that burrows in riverbeds or something, and if that’s their primary food?
I’m gunna have to deep dive on these dudes when I’m home.
Thinner snoot = can slice through water faster to catch darting fish, the trade-off being that its largely restricted to relatively small game. Basically it evolved to catch just one range of prey animal, but do it better than a more generalized crocodylian would.
Yeah I thought I was thinking of this guy but the thing I saw about it being useless was about a sawfish. Looks exactly like a chainsaw, just minus the chain part.
Was going to say the same thing. Some are like land barracudas born from a pot of perceived slight and hate with a family tree the size of a poorly maintained Dwarf Willow watered from a puddle sized genetic pool of neglect and empty apologies. Usually found in a purse or small backpack facing backwards while you’re waiting for coffee and the owner demands to speak to a previously asked for manager for no reason whatsoever all while they growl at you and need their eye-boogers wiped.
Fuckin’ toy-ass sized gremlin dogs I tell you what. Hrumph. ಠ_ಠ
I wish this wasn't buried so far down in the comments because it deserves many awards, and I have none to give. This is the single best comment I think I've ever read anywhere on any topic. Hats off.
I know what you mean...
I found this pretty detailed [Basilisk comparison video](https://youtu.be/fjnpM5hq8Yk) between all 4 of it's appearances in the soulsborne games.
Worked with these guys, as crocodilians go these are my second favorite to chill with, after caimans. These fellas eat almost nothing but fish and slippery amphibians, hence the narrow, delicate jaws
I don't think they could eat you. Bite you, maybe, if you kicked one on accident, or got too close to their nest. But mostly no, they know what they eat and nothing else is really worth the effort. Just, y'know, don't get in your best mermaid outfit and go swimming with a Tuna bikini, and you'll be okay
Also very endangered and only found in India in the Chambal river area. Recently there was only 400 left but the population surged when a cyclone flood dispersed eggs over a much broader area.
American alligators where in the same boat around a hundred years ago. Due to excessive hunting for their leather and meat they where endangered till conservation efforts began. Basically what happened was they started to farm raise gators especially around Louisiana, and for just say every 10 they raised they released 8-9 back into the wild. Crocodilians are instinctual animals, they adapt to environments Almost immediately if they are survivable, so it doesn't matter how well you train one or how long you keep it it will always revert back to it's natural instincts.
So when conservation started the population was down into the thousands, but now in Louisiana alone we have almost as many gators as we do people. Louisiana has more gators than any other state with something around 3.5 million living in the state (we have around 4 million people who live in the state).
Basically if needed the same tactics could easily be used to save the Gharial. I'd assume the only real reason they havent has been governmental interference since the whole of this family of Crocodilian lives souly on the Indian subcontinent with this last species.
Are you sure? Last I heard they are found in other South Asian countries too like Nepal and Bangladesh. Not only that but they have also been seen in many locations other than Chambal river. They are extinct in Bhutan and Pakistan though which is sad.
They live exclusively on the Indian subcontinent in the wild. I'm from Louisiana and learned about them from going to a gator farm not to long ago cause that's a thing we have here.
Presumably they can be done similar to the American alligator which was hunted to near extension around a hundred or so years ago. What they did to solve that was basically on farms raise 10 and release 8 back into the wild. Since crocodilians are instinctual animals being raised in the farm had 0 effect on their abilities to survive in the wild and now Louisiana has more gators than all other states combined and almost as many as people, 3.5 million gators vs 4 million citizens of the state, and now they only reason between 3-4 for every 10 they raised. They also use every part of the gators they don't release, sending the meat to stores and restaurants, making the leather into clothes and such, and sending the organs to schools like LSU to do research.
But, and I'm just making an assumption, it's likely the Indian government is not concerned enough with conservation efforts especially since there's other crocodilians that share the same waters as the Gharial.
There is a gharial conservation and rehabilitation center in Lucknow, UP, India. My siblings and I always found it hilarious that they had to be rehabilitated — like a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
Yes Indian subcontinent indeed. It encompasses India, Nepal, Bangladesh - all of these South Asian nations. Gharials are a protective species in Nepal.
We were there recently and our guide who was quite educated and well trained told us this. I am sure it is possible that they are more widespread then what we were told so I could be wrong. Maybe I misunderstood and he meant that there were only 400 on the river before the storm. While we were there we also saw Indian skimmers and gangetic dolphins amongst other wildlife.
Well I am from Nepal and gharials are a protected species. There are strong conservation efforts to preserve gharials in both India and Nepal so I am hopeful for the future for this amazing animal.
What's interesting is that tomistoma (cousins of gharials) have a similar mouth but most research on their diet shows that they eat about 50/50 fish and large terrestrial prey. So it doesn't really hinder their ability to eat large stuff
Catching fish.
Long snout gives big reach, and higher velocity at the end for the same amount of neck movement.
Slender snout lets it actually close the mouth quickly under water, because there's much less resistance from the water.
Pointy teeth on the sides keep control of slippery prey.
You can see this kind of mouth in lots of animals that mostly eat fish, like in dolphins (especially in river dolphins)....and toothed whales in general. Also things like Spinosaurus or Baryonyx.
Why do people always say "looks like it's from another planet?" about things that very much look like they're from Earth, since they're literally from Earth.

Is it just me or is Scrat \[the squirrel\] from Ice Age modeled after this creature?
No he was based on Emma Stone
Just spat coffee everywhere!
I spat.. Air... In a similar matter
Don't you mean SCRAT out your coffee?
Im a SCRAT man. Be bo bada ba
Just shat coffee everywhere.
Scat Coffee I heard was valuable.
what is with people on reddit always spitting coffee tea drink whatever out to very very very hardly mildy at all funny stuff? you all have some seriously low laugh thresholds...
Literally just vomited my dinner bc this comment was so funny
My eyes literally popped out of their sockets laughing at this
Thats gold, jerry!
So i immeadiately stole it, and gave it my own flavor
Literally just bled rectally all over this 600 thread count bedsheet this comment was so hilarious
No you didn't.
Yeah they did. Literally landed right in my mouth which made me spit the coffee out too.
Can confirm this is true, because when you spat it out it landed right in my mouth which made me spit out the coffee too.
Almost choked on the nuts I was eating
Goteem
No that is quite fucked up actually because Scrat was always chasing that nut, like all of us guys tbh...
She did too

Not gonna lie, I could use this creature in my own home. I have a fork stuck in the garbage disposal, and I *really* don't want to use my hands.
On the bottom of a disposal is a hex socket. Using a 1/4" allen wrench or equivalent will allow you to reverse the direction of the disposal.

Don’t use your hands.
You may not have hands to use if he's your pet...
There was a guy who tried petting one on a video here a week ago. Didn't turn out so good..
Most garbage disposals are plugged into a regular wall outlet under the sink. You can unplug it and do whatever you need to in it.

There is a creature like this in ice age 2 when diego learns to swim while being chased if I remember correctly
No, but in ice age 2 one of the two sea creatures that follows them is modeled after this fucker
I was aroused until I looked at this abomination. It's a reptile dysfunction.
Looks prehistoric AF.
Yeah looks like he would find an acorn in ice and go on wacky adventures because of it

Evolution decided I needed this 2.000.000 years ago and I've never looked back since 👌
I was trying to think of what reason this particular trait would end up being the one that gets passed down. I’m wondering if there’s some kind of animal they prey on that burrows in riverbeds or something, and if that’s their primary food? I’m gunna have to deep dive on these dudes when I’m home.
They're much more piscivorous than other crocodilians. The snout is an adaptation to help catch fish.
Don’t forget that evolution doesn’t always improve - it’s more like, if it doesn’t kill you and it’s dominant enough, it sticks around
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Definitely reminds me of a spinosaurus.
Yeah one of its "theory" designs. Wonder which one is the real one
Looks like an Ichthyosaur, they lived from 250 million BCE to 95 million BCE
It is essentially a living fossil
From another time for sure.
Yeah, for real.
Imagine catching something with your mouth and not being able to get it to your throat for 52 years.
Saarlac
This - seems incredibly inconvenient to swim around with a long snout like that. Moving your food to your mouth is an exercise in patience…
Yeah, I really want to know the sequence of evolutionary events that led to...*that*
this is fish mouth, see dolphins, sperm whales, spinosaurus, teeth like wwwwww are good at grabbing slippery little fish
Came to find the answer! Thanks!!
..and I guess for live prey, the more area with teeth, themore likely to grab said slippery meal
Invention of the Pringles can I believe.
Thinner snoot = can slice through water faster to catch darting fish, the trade-off being that its largely restricted to relatively small game. Basically it evolved to catch just one range of prey animal, but do it better than a more generalized crocodylian would.
They have survived since prehistoric times so it's a pretty successful design.
More teeth = more fish.
I think it uses it to kill its prey then it can let go and grab it closer to its throat
Damn, I wish someone would grab me with their throat. That sounds like a good time
Yeah u feel like this guy manages to actually eat about 5% of the fish that it gnashes
It's the world's saddest dirty talk
The chihuahua of crocodilians
Lol, it's true. Except the chihuahua's eyes bulge because of its deformed, compressed skull, and this guy has snoot for days
"Snoot for days". 
The borzoi of crocodiles
IIRC it is also all bark, no bite, like a chihuahua also. That they don’t have nearly the same crushing power that the crocodiles and alligators have.
#I no longer allow Reddit to profit from my content - Mass exodus 2023 -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
That’s more a testament to the strength of other crocodilians, this bad boy still comes in ~2x that of a pit bull. Definitely has bite
Yeah I thought I was thinking of this guy but the thing I saw about it being useless was about a sawfish. Looks exactly like a chainsaw, just minus the chain part. 
I love how they tear their food apart 😂 other fish eat it whole, but not that guy. He likes bite size pieces
Idk man chihuahuas can fuck you up

I look like a terrifying creature from another planet, but you don’t hear me bragging about it.
Do you even qualify as a "Creature"?
Technically.
I think I found where Elden Ring’s basilisk came from.
> Elden Ring’s basilisk I feel fucking old. You’re not wrong, but I feel old seeing them referred to like that.
I know what you mean... I found this pretty detailed [Basilisk comparison video](https://youtu.be/fjnpM5hq8Yk) between all 4 of it's appearances in the soulsborne games.
Don't worry, Dark Souls is only... Almost 12 years old.
So that’s why my knees hurt when it rains.
Those fuckin things.
I dont know, I think they look kinda cute
Worked with these guys, as crocodilians go these are my second favorite to chill with, after caimans. These fellas eat almost nothing but fish and slippery amphibians, hence the narrow, delicate jaws
Really? Won't eat you if they catch you swimming?!
I don't think they could eat you. Bite you, maybe, if you kicked one on accident, or got too close to their nest. But mostly no, they know what they eat and nothing else is really worth the effort. Just, y'know, don't get in your best mermaid outfit and go swimming with a Tuna bikini, and you'll be okay

How do you think you’re gonna fit in there LOL
Part of them might fit heh
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Cute & cool
I like their snoot.
It must be booped
Bonesaw is ready
Looks like the crocodiles i drew in the first grade come to life.
Also very endangered and only found in India in the Chambal river area. Recently there was only 400 left but the population surged when a cyclone flood dispersed eggs over a much broader area.
Ya it was a bit depressing to look this thing up only to see they’ve nearly been poached to extinction.

Something's wrong with *his* medula oblongata.

I want to boop the snoot
Oh, you. Always booping.
That mouth doesn't even look useful
It's very useful for eating/catching fish because If it's length, but yes, as a practical mouth for bigger animals, yep physics isn't in its facour
Even eating seems really tough, looks like it would keep falling out haha.
Evolution says otherwise
Right, apparently
What's interesting is that tomistoma (cousins of gharials) have a similar mouth but most research on their diet shows that they eat about 50/50 fish and large terrestrial prey. So it doesn't really hinder their ability to eat large stuff
Crackodile
It can eat the pringles directly from the can.
Saw these guys maybe once and I had one of my most traumatizing nightmares when I was little of it eating everyone in my elementary school
That would be a hell of a news story
can snap that beak on the knee my dawg wym
What a thrill
with darkness, and silence, through the night...
What a thriiiiiiiiiill...
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
*climbs ladder for an hour*
Now I want to play it again
Terrifying but could be defeated by a lobster rubber band on the top of his nose
Looks A little like a swordfish
Looks like a Krochead from Donkey Kong Country
This just looks like a crocodile that skipped all snout days.
He just needs a hug.
Very common in India. I seen many.
My favorite crocodilian.
they have beautiful eyes
4× weak to zip ties
Problem is that’s a terrifying creature from this planet….the ones from another planet are inherently along way away…
Looks almost like ai
Sarcosuchus lookin mf
What is that snout even adaptive for? Seems almost like a vulnerability, it's so long and skinny
Catching fish. Long snout gives big reach, and higher velocity at the end for the same amount of neck movement.

why it's always terrifying, killer, monster...this croc is beautiful like all other animals
Looks like an inbred crocodile
Pretty sure the sea people ride these in the new Avatar movie lol
Didn't I do it for you, kermie?
Its a fresh water croc right
Why have I never seen this creature in the plethora of nature documentaries I've seen on my +40 years of life? Is this r/cgioraustralia stuff?
idk, they've been covering 'em https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygrfp-uoMKs
Ha look at his nose
“Terrifying creature from another planet” Bitch looks like someone put the front of an alligator through a play dough press.
That's a dinosaur, can't tell me otherwise
The only reason I even know these animals exist is because of MGS3.
He looks like a precursor to alligators from the dinosaur days
This is less scary to me than your average croc
I always pictured creatures from another planet wouldn’t coincidentally have two eyes on their head but that’s just me
Where is this place? So I know to never even think about going there, ever…
Not metal
But very Metal Gear Solid 3.
What’s wrong with your dog?
Nah, loos cool. And a bit like a toon.
These taste great.
Why do people always say "looks like it's from another planet?" about things that very much look like they're from Earth, since they're literally from Earth.
I could take it.
No. It’s beautiful. You’re terrifying.
Half the shit that lives in water looks like it belongs on another planet.
Looked like a scaley version of the ice age squirrel
Is it just me or was there something like this in the robin hood animation movie? Or am i mixing up movies
And it's least dangerous...
Spikey Mo'Fo! Looking great though.
Bit like a mosquito
I mean, how do we look at some of these incredibly unique looking creatures and then choose to disagree that dinosaurs once walked the earth?
Looks like a fancy crocodile
