Modernity:
A recent surge in shark attacks has been attributed to social media influencers encouraging risky interactions with the deadly predators, according to marine biologists.
Yes, really, they’re pissing off sharks for clicks.
The pursuit of viral content, such as selfies and videos with sharks, is leading tourists to provoke the animals, resulting in defensive bites, according to scientists quoted in a Daily Mail report. more
I read a couple of weeks ago about a woman who now has no hands after she FAFO about taking close-up pics of a shark. Sad, but true.
Doesn’t sound smart to me.
I’m sure sharks don’t play around like a house cat, pretty sure they ‘play’ for keeps.
Sounds like a self-limiting problem to me.
God is educating us by way of others’ examples.
I have been in the ocean a lot with sharks, have never really been concerned. On one occasion there were several 4-5 foot nurse sharks in less than a foot of water at a scout camp. They weren’t doing anything, people were around but weren’t trying to touch or feed them. It’s when people act aggressively toward them – or if they hold food in their fingers, obviously sharks don’t understand as cats and dogs do how to carefully take food from a person’s hand.
As long as you don’t do anything to corner them, or try to feed them, then as long as you aren’t in a sea lion rookery you’re probably fine.
Probably… 🙂
Could be worse. It could be Bobcats. This guy must blow when hell of a Turkey call.

…if THAT worked, there would be no Communism.
Need I sat It? FAFO.

@SNS — Some schooling doesn’t always “take” with everyone. And some people simply won’t stop listening to the father of all lies.

Chumbook might be a better name for social media.
I’m rooting for the sharks. Kill all the “influencers” (i.e. ridiculous faggots).
Chumbbook, scumbook, dumbbook take your pick.
Dr Pimple Popper’s rise in popularity spawned thousands of videos of people that have…. wait for it…. cultivated infected wounds to squeeze and squirt for clicks.
Only problem is they don’t earn enough cash to cover the eventual hospitalization because they’ve also managed to go septic. A Pyrrhic Victory…
The ultimate environmental activism.
