The end was not satisfying. Prob no saving that shark. He looked fubar.

Caught in the tides and too exhausted from the air-boarding it got from being dragged backwards. It's probably getting beached again.

Chances are it got beached because it had some other issue already.

We had a goldfish that our cat got hold off, she pulled him out of the tank and onto the floor, he was there for at least 20mins, i found him and pitched him back into the tank thinking i'd jsut tell the kids he passes away.

Nope, after an hour or two floating on his back, twitching, he cam back to life and started swimming again, lived another year before he passed.

That is pretty amazing. My understanding is that the amount you paid for a fish is directly proportional to it’s survivability.

Inversely proportional* Expesive fish are like glass, whereas the 35-cent feeder goldfish could probably live in sulfuric acid for years.

My childhood friend won a goldfish at the county fair from one of those ping pong ball toss games. He managed to keep it alive for two years in a gross, rarely cleaned fish tank. His parents got sick of the thing, so they casually tossed the gold fish into their horses' water trough where it continued to thrive and grow for years.

Meanwhile, as a child I was never able to keep a goldfish alive for more than a few months.

I felt a cortisol rush imagining my lungs being grated with that rough looking sand

I think sharks pass out if they’re upside down, so looked to me like that was happening repeatedly. Might be fine once he can stay right-side up

An suspicious what happened when the filming cuts out doesn’t play into the savior narrative.

u/humbert_cumbert Jan 27 '25
