    When I was a kid my parents took me to a pool where the bottom was a huge mosaic of a killer whale. Fuck no. I think that pool gave birth to my hate of water.

      What the actual heck, I have the exact same childhood NOPE memory of a pool with an orca mosaic. You’re the first one to validate that, none of my family remembers! I think I might have almost drowned in there too.

    I haven’t set foot in a public pool since I learned that chlorine doesn’t have a smell, and that public pool “chlorine” smell is actually chloramines - made from the chlorine in the pool reacting with ammonia in urine.

    Avoiding the shark is just an added bonus

    Blåhaj only attacks transphobes, so it shouldn’t be a problem

    This phantasmal creature can be slain just like the rest.

    Get into a well spaced octagon with some VERY trustworthy individuals. If everyone turns their back at the same time at equal distance, the sharks will amalgamate at the center. They will all split apart when they try to eat you, killing the creature(s) once and for all.

    This is the only way and DO NOT TRY WITH OTHER SHAPES DO NOT ADD DIMENSIONS TO THE RITUAL

    I’m always more worried there is a frothy floating child turd right behind me. Maybe my imagination is crippled.

      what a colorful way to describe a child, they sure don’t understand personal space though.

        You never played greased watermelon as a kid in the public pool? You grease up a water Melon and throw it in the water and all the kids go crazy trying to grab it but it just keeps slipping away. Some of my fondest childhood moments were spent playing greased watermelon
