What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far - which, given your present circumstances, seems more likely - consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.

If anyone tells you the water is shark-infested, tell them it's not. Water is where sharks live. Shallow water near beaches is human-infested.

Southern Australian springtime swimmers who properly update their Bayesian priors know that sharks are the true danger, NOT lightning strikes or plane crashes

I worked at a beach resort in FL for a time, it was crazy going up to the 20th-ish floor and seeing all these ppl swimming around sharks and had no idea...

This looks like a screen capture from MalibuArtist on YouTube. It's a great channel if you have any interest in sharks and marine life.

I would get really fucking impressed to get attacked by a shark in balaton, a larger sized lake
