    The shark thing always bothers me. Like of course it’s rare to be killed by a shark since most people don’t swim in the ocean.

    How likely are you to be killed by a shark if you’re swimming right beside one?

        I mean of course a full size great white, bull shark, or tiger shark. I’m aware that most species of sharks are much smaller and pretty harmless to humans.

          Even then… Sharks don’t like the taste of humans. They only attack when they think you look like a seal and then immediately spit you out because eww humans taste gross.

          They are simply chilling and you’re in their space and they did a little oopsy. It’s not their fault.
