you have an ugly hundred dollar hoodie, a Twitter account with eight followers, and a watch that doesn't tell time. you are, without a doubt, the worst millennial I've ever heard of but you have heard of me

prefect posted:this i have no problem believing. i grew up on jacques cousteau and national geographic books about cool poo poo under the water. for a while, my favorite super hero was aquaman, because he could swim really well and breathe under water (not because of anything he did; just the abilities seemed amazing to me) idk maybe this conversation is about to get weird but i was really the same way until i really internalized the fact of my own eventual death and non-existence. like, no matter how careful you are, that is definitely, really going to happen and you have no idea when or how. viewed that way, there is no truly safe path through life, so life can't be a matter of avoiding death entirely. instead it becomes a matter of managing the tradeoff between having experiences and managing risk. i just try to have an accurate perception of the risks i'm taking and minimize them as much as possible, but i will take some risks in the pursuit of experiences that i feel contribute significantly to my life. plus it kinda feels good to do something that scares the rear end off you enough times to get to the point where you're actually very good at it and comfortable with it. i'm still a huge pussy about large sharks though, and plan to continue being so; i don't find them interesting enough to risk hanging out with them if i can avoid it

And i mean, sharks, i suspect theyre a fairly solved problem no? Super lean optimized minmax fish-to-poop converters, pretty much, right?

i'm not sure i understand the question but sharks are pretty good at being sharks they're basically like the underwater version of cats; if there's one anywhere near your size class that decides to go after you, you're basically hosed. unlike cats, though, sharks won't decide that poo poo just recreationally

i mean sharks can be like "hey i don't know if i can eat that or not, i should bite it just to check", but cats are like "i'm not even hungry, but i'm bored enough to just murder stuff for fun"

i think it's preferable not to have to punch a shark in the first place

that watch reminds me of those android people who remove absolutely everything from the home screen and make it so doing anything on your phone takes three taps, two swipes, and a pagan ritual. because "minimalist"

yeah that poo poo is horrifying anyone who hasn't read about the byford dolphin, you are in for a treat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin quote:The first two steps had been completed when, for an unknown reason, one of the tenders (Crammond) opened the clamp before Diver 4 (Hellevik) could close the door to the chamber. This resulted in the explosive decompression of the unsealed chamber. Air rushed out of the chamber with tremendous force, jamming the interior trunk door and pushing the bell away, striking the two tenders. The tender who opened the clamp was killed while the other was severely injured.[citation needed]
