Quicksand is second most dangerous thing according to primary schoolers right behind Bermuda triangle. Don't take it lightly.

There's also a Michigan Triangle lmfao pretty wild stuff
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Yeah, it goes from Michigan to Ohio to Indiana
Edit: downvotes from the midwesterners stuck in the Michigan triangle

I have a bunch of times, I lived near a beach like this. I've had to extract people pretty often.

yeah thinking about my times on beaches, they tended to be areas lots of people hang out on. even when i visited the lakes, it was a spot with a bunch of homes along it.

Does this work with sand at other Great Lakes? Asking for a friend

Up in WA, I hear they they just call 'em geoducks. This guy's going a bit far, but to each their own? 🤷🏼♂️

Good to know my second greatest fear as a child has an upside.
Now if only something good could come out of the Bermuda Triangle.

Step 1: go on a date with someone your mutual friend informs you both already like each other...
Shit, now I need 2 friends. My fiancee is never going to believe I could pull this off.
