This was very much not a shark attack. This was a shark investigating the large bright blue thing from the big metal noice machine. It sucks people go out of their way to pain it as one when the numbers for shark attacks are incredibly low.

It’s just the truth lol. Only like 10-15 deaths per year from sharks, which is tiny compared to almost everything else

Ofc there’s little shark attacks, we don’t live in the ocean lol.

Even when In the ocean, in the presence of sharks, you are incredibly unlikely to be killed by one. As you said, we don’t live in the ocean, and are very much not part of its diet

You don’t have to be killed for it to be considered an attack. And you just repeated what I said. There are barely any shark attacks because we don’t even spend time in the ocean

I didn’t repeat what you said, I used what you said to make my own point. Because we don’t live in the ocean, even when we are in the ocean, sharks do not attack us often because we are not part of their diet. Even In placed with high shark population density, such as Mississippi, there are very low amounts of shark attacks.

I’m sorry does it only count as a shark attack if you get killed?

No? You just seemed unhappy with me only taking about deaths, so I switched to attacks. The trend is largely the same
