So I was watching Planet Earth and David Attenborough said that all jellyfish sting. Is he just stupid or are these guys stinging phosphates?

All jellyfish sting in the same way that all spiders bite.

Some jellyfish stings are so lethal they will kill you. Just like some spider bites are so lethal they will kill you.

And then some jellyfish stings are so harmless to the human species that you don't even notice. The same way some spider bites are so harmless to the human species that when you wake up in the morning you think you just have a zit on your face, so you pop that sucker and go about your daily routines.

I've worked with anemones and know they can have varying stinging ranges (and you can feel them sticking to you cause of the stinging) but never with these type of jellies. What I've read say's they don't sting. So is Attenborough wrong?
>>
>>2145676
As far as I'm aware, all jellies can sting. Just a lot of them can't do shit to a human, but they still are stinging you.
>>
>>2145733
So If I'm biting you and you can't feel it, I'm not biting you? Are you trying to divide by 0?
>>
>>2145740
What? Thats the opposite of what I said.
The harmless jellies are stinging you, you just can't feel it.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if there were some weirdo deep sea jellies without stinging cells.

>>2145741
Oh my god, you're stupid as fuck.
>>
>>2145749
I'm confused.
you're calling him stupid but you're the one who can't read?

did you mean to call yourself stupid and just fucked it up because you're too damn stupid?

you poor dumb thing.
>>
>>2145749
Are you retarded? What are you even talking about? Neither of your posts have made any sense whatsoever.
>>
>>2145752

All jellies have cnidocyts containing nematocysts, which act like little harpoons that inject venom

But many are too weak to notice when you get stung
