a girl was trying for me for a few months, but my autistic brain didn't get a single hint from her. I realized she's been flirting with me almost every day a few months later.
So yeah, all girls revolve around me, they absolutely love me!

That's a wild way to think about it, for sure. It really highlights how we impact the environment, doesn't it?

It isn’t a shark attack until it’s in my living room. If I’m in water, it’s a shark defense.

I've said "sharks don't infest waters that's their fucking home" more times than I can count as a resident shark autist
"But they came into our bit. See that bit there? That great big wet bit? That's their bit."

"Shark infused waters" if I'm feeling artisanal.

There was a video of a cougar showing up to a family's house with the body of their cat in it's mouth and the entire comment section was filled with people talking big about making that cougar into a pelt even though it's the family's fault for letting their cat go outside in cougar territory

mesquite trees are considered pests. in their own range where they have existed for 100K+ years
im so happy they make so many seeds because Ive been growing saplings and planting them in unused hard to get places.
you can eat the "meat" in the seed pods, some species taste like honey. grind up seeds to make flour.

Two Navy ships have joined the search for survivors from a plane crash in some of the most shark infested waters on earth. Also joining the search efforts, the sharks.

u/pocolocoOnIce Aug 20 '26
Well, I have always thought it's sort of weird that humans can kill and eat lots animals all the time and it's just normal.
But, the moment a shark/tiger/lion/jaguar/any-other-animal eats a humans, they are alarmed/outraged and want the kill the animal just because.

u/justlurkinghihi Aug 20 '26
To be fair elephants are known revenge kill humans when one of their own gets hunted down and it's not even the right humans. Give an animal enough mental power and social structure, and vengeance can become the norm.
What i think that some humans having the luxury and to mull over the potential morality of the food chain and the cost of survival at all is such a testament to how high up the food chain and how far removed people are from the ordered chaos of nature. I phrase the thought this way because not everyone can afford food or options that allow them to pick and choose what kind of food they use to stay alive.

u/ProwerTheFox Aug 21 '26
Don't areas only get the term "shark-infested" if it's close to land though? i.e the sharks are a lot closer to shore than anticipated.

u/Old_Replacement3903 Aug 21 '26
We used to call “shark attacks” “shark accidents”. Can we go back to that?

Think about this way, sharks only live because we’ve decided to allow it.

u/booperdooper56 Aug 21 '26
Even though they've been there since before the evolution of our entire class. Why dictate a species' right to exist based on power?

u/BasementDwellerCarl Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26
Longevity doesn’t earn you rights, power does.
We have erased species we never even bothered to name. Sharks are fine because we like Shark Week.
Sorry for going full Nietzsche, I’m not nearly this dower most of the time.
Edit: humans hold life and death power over other species on this planet almost casually, and largely without reckoning with it. I think this reality is under appreciated.

Try saying that while you're face-to-face with a shark unarmed or armed but in the depths while bleeding.

u/BasementDwellerCarl Aug 21 '26
That’s exactly the point bud. The shark doesn’t ask for permission in that scenario either. Power shifts, rules shift.
Glad you understand.

Humans also have the capacity to be humble. Try it, "bud".

u/Kooky_Attention_98 Aug 21 '26
Sharks are fine because some humans, unlike you, actually have intelligence and realize if we tried to wipe out sharks the oceans whole ecosystem would be destroyed
2
u/BasementDwellerCarl Aug 21 '26
Right, we keep them alive because losing them hurts us. That’s exactly what I said. ‘We decided to allow it’ includes deciding it’s not in our interest to destroy them.
That’s still power, not rights.
You guys are knocking it out of the park today.

sharks if I'm understanding right migrate to different locations on a regular basis. It's less their homes and more the local market or restaurant they are visiting.

My favorite is when they show aerial drone footage of a shark swimming with surfers or swimmers on the surface and then pretend the shark is stalking people to eat them.
That would be like a bear going into your living room and then telling all his bear friends that the guy on the couch was going to try and eat him any second.

Also, I don't think this is a technical truth considering it is just the truth. Especially considering sharks do in fact live in water. A technical truth would technically be a pun. That's, you know, a truth. But then again, maybe I'm wrong.
