In reality it means constant danger from every angle at all times

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 203 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I have worked a corporate job and I know how it works.

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No, I mean from other creatures in your local area. Big groups of them might come over and steal some of whatever you find for yourself.

[–] Loco_Mex@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

My bosses steal all the value I provide, I barely scrounge enough to stay alive.

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, since I am homeless as well despite corporate job, I know how that works too.

[–] mech@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dang you really got the worst of all worlds.

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Not really. Everything was exaggerated for comedic effect.

Mermaids have evolved eyes at the front of their face. They are clearly predators.

Shark having an existential crisis.

I feel like half of the crocodiles are one and half the other

I ate fermented shark meat in Iceland and I have never tasted something more disgusting and pervasive in my life. The taste just refused to go away. Plus it was -20 in the middle of the night while we were attempting to catch faint Aurora in the sky but all I could focus on was trying to swish enough saliva around in my mouth in an attempt to get rid of that smell.

So uhhh.... Save the sharks!

You supposed to be drinking vodka with it. Helps with the flavor.

Mermaids get mermaid magic and plot armour, failing that you can find a prince to stab your enemies with a fucking boat.

To be fair, Ariel wanted to be a human princess, not a working-class peasant like us.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, she just wanted to be fucked silly by the prince.

[–] BoosBeau@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I'd say Ursula fucker her harder with that contract

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She was singing about wanting legs before she even met the prince, though.

@sarahscribbles is the source, some bastard must have deleted the signature

Great for a day, then you begin to realize what you've given up. And then there's the dolphins, oh god, the dolphins.

[–] mech@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Tell me about the dolphins

[–] Zink@programming.dev 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, you must complete the age verification process before being allowed to witness the activities of the dolphins.

[–] mech@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

I feel like when you're older than any online age verification process, you should be

grandfathered in.

Mermaid at dinner, crying, ripping apart a live lobster with her bare hands, hearing it scream to eat it
