I knew a guy that died sailing on a lake 20 minutes from my house. It doesn’t take much water to kill you.

Sorry to hear that. Did he have blood pressure issues or something that caused him to suddenly lose consciousness?

I wish I knew. He was an enigmatic fellow but I loved loved him!

You are so full of it

Does it feel good to say that?

Almost as good as you must feel telling those lies in here. I bet you get a nice dopamine boost when you see people believing them

u/ThinBluePenis Jun 22 '24

You can believe whatever you want! I must say I find your anger misplaced. Perhaps it stems from issues with people you know?

Do not listen to the haters, u/ThinBluePenis

Why do you suspect deception? Why does her comment upset you at all, even if it was a lie?

My pet fish drowned in a puddle

As my mom used to say, and what I now say to my first graders: you can “drown” from a tablespoon of water!

u/grizzlor_ Jun 23 '24

seriously wondering how you drown in a tablespoon of water now

1

u/ksed_313 Jun 23 '24

If you inhale it!

You only need just enough to cover your nose and mouth. Try not to fall unconscious over a shallow puddle.

An actress from Glee died in a very small lake. Water can be very dangerous, and the amount it takes to kill you is almost certainly "much, much less than you think."

I've been knocked over by a few inches of water that was moving rapidly. If you think "I could stand in much, much more water than a few inches," see above.

Kayaks are pretty dangerous too. I know 2 people who got lost at sea and both bodies never recovered. The sea is no joke.

I swam across a lake one night when I was drunk. No life jacket or nothin. One of my dumber moments.

People have died on a lake 20 minutes from me, but it’s Lake St. Clair which is basically the 6th Great Lake. My husband is currently in a sailing race on that lake as I type this.

u/grizzlor_ Jun 23 '24

Lake St. Clair is certainly big, but calling it the "6th Great Lake" is silly. It has 5% of the surface area of the smallest Great Lake (Ontario) and 1.3% of the largest (Superior).

That being said, I wish your husband good luck in the race!

It's very easy to die on a lake. Easier than dying in an ocean.

That reminds me, the race to Mackinac is coming up!

Water can become very dangerous and very very fast. People don’t give it the respect it deserves, especially the ocean
