I don’t understand people who want to swim where things are alive like yes let’s have my feet touch the muddy bottom with all the shit on it ahhhhhhhh no thanks
How the fuck did I ever go out into a literal bayou to boogie board when i was a kid
Lmao. I think the only reason I was a swamp kid growing up (like literally would go swimming in a bog) is that I’m in a cold part where there’s not much living.
Now that I’ve been down to the southern swamps and marshes a few times - I’m in awe of the folks that recreate out there. It looks cool AF, but I prefer no reptiles (or at least turtles smaller than a wheel) - went to the ‘Deep Hole’ in Myakka State Park in Florida and was way too aware of my position on the food chain haha
My nightmares about warm freshwater bodies isn’t crocodiles and anacondas eating me nor turtles chomping off a toe but rather brain eating amoebas and those brazilian fishes that get inside your urethra
Who the hell sees that place and wants to take a swim?
Hookworm enjoyers

Nahh the amoeba doesn’t want to hurt you; in fact most of us enjoy assimilation
Wait shit - them not us - I’m of course human
Looks like a decoy crocodiles would put up to lure
over to the shore
I don’t know what kind of wildlife they got in Israel, but around here water that looked like that would be full of gators. They got crocodiles?
from a Palestinian person I know, he said that settlers will see any body of water no matter how dirty and swim in it for some reason
They simply yearn for amoebas and cyanobacteria.
Settlers yearns for the bog
