Sources say the shark warned the woman, saying "American woman, stay away from me."

Paddle boarding 1.2 km from shore... isn't that a bit far out for just a meat popsicle on a fish-shaped piece of styrofoam?

Trying to decide on a honeymoon destination right now. The Bahamas is no longer on that list.

Dude, they just had a shark attack. That means statistically they aren't due for another one for like thirty years. This is the best time to go. Just don't go back for your thirtieth.

You're both falling for gambler's fallacy. This instance doesn't make shark attacks in general any more or less likely.
Well, it might be affected by how many stars the shark gives the meal, but the human meat industry and their opponents game website reviews so much these days it'll probably be drowned out by all the fake reviews.

Ackshualllllllly, a shark is less likely to attack right after eating due to being full. Checkmate.

Unless it's stress eating.

Even the sharks be like "man, fuck this economy"
Jokes aside I feel terrible that the lady died.

Its not gamblers fallacy if the first poster has their honeymoon in a desert instead, much less chance of a shark attack :D

Unless they intend to return to the ocean at a different time because it's the timing that makes it dangerous now.

Is it really that hard to just not look delicious?!??
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 7 pts · 2y
No, I always look delicious. If cannibals are going to get me, I want to be a feast for the eyes and stomach.
