The American shoreline is 95,471 miles. So you've barely scratched the surface.

Strange that a Canadian would use miles and not kilometers :thunk:

Yeah come visit the Great Lakes buddy. I live about a mile from Lake Michigan and the waves out there can get pretty loving brutal. The record is like 20 feet or something ridiculous. Lake Superior is worse.

They are small seas.

Lake Superior waves can get up to 30 feet. I can't even imagine that wall of water coming towards me.

To be clear, it's a lake. Not an ocean. But it's the largest freshwater lake on the entire planet.

Fear it! FEAR IT!

I am of the water. I will never deny the majesty of the Great Lakes. They are epic.

They are also not the Pacific, be real.

Who was that goon obsessed with poisoning and maiming rats? I discovered I caught a mouse in my laundry room snap traps maybe a week ago yesterday and knew the funky rear end smell immediately from my restaurant days, good luck when they die in your walls :barf:

Of course. But the Pacific is the largest body of any type of water on the planet. Not an unsuspecting lake in the midwest that you can drink the water of.

I have no idea. I'm like 6+ beers deep and just took two gummies. But those won't kick in for like an hour.

I just like to defend my greatest lakes. :)

Let me end this discussion, perhaps, on my revelations when visiting Chicago: OMG, there's this giant body of water right next to the city, it's sweet. And unlike nasty rear end oceans, it's user friendly!
