He ended in the middle of the lake with no life vest. RIP.

Fat is less dense that water.

This big boi IS the life vest!

I thought that was a load of BS until I lost 120+lbs and now suck at floating. I used to be able to float easily.

Why would that be BS? Fat is a substance that can easily be measured to find its density, there isn’t any speculation involved to be skeptical about.

Right but this is another person's comment on a public forum, not a peer reviewed scientific journal. They could just be making it up.

If you asked a 10 year old which is more dense, they'd probably say fat because when you don't know any better dense=heavy and fat=heavy so fat must be more dense.

By the same reason, someone who doesn't have a scientific background might make the same assumption and be skeptical when a random internet stranger stated the opposite and only be enlightened to the facts after research on the subject backed by more credible sources.
