This is one of my favorite videos of all time and I will always reblog it when I see it

the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.

Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.

But buddy.

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

Buddy. It’s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you don’t know how to read?

this post is transcendent

You’re thinking of dolphins. Dolphins are the ones with smooth skin that feels like a rubber beach ball.

No, I’m thinking of sharks.

why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?

Fun fact: they did leave Pompeii! It's estimated that the population pre-eruption was something like 20,000, and the most likely number of dead in is in the range of 1,500-4,000. So most people just did leave Pompeii, it's just that not everyone left or could leave.

I'd have still left. the human body is capable of wonderful things in the face of danger

A lot of people died in the boats tho:/

I would have paddled away quickly

I take pretty hot baths so I think I'd be able to last a little longer than the average person

The scariest thing about pyroclastic flow is that if you can see it, no matter how far away it is, there is no possible way of surviving

I've done incredible things. I think you'd be surprised.

I know a lot about the volcano. they could learn much from me.

you should teach them

I will.

everyone who has ever died from anything is an idiot. I wouldn't have done that.

perhaps this could be chalked up to poor diet? I don't think explosions alone can do that.

"everyone who has ever died from anything is an idiot."

have you maybe considered that people aren't immortal? you're gonna die eventually, be it old age, sickness, or me coming to fuckin' get you.

you will be an idiot. it is inevitable.

maybe that is the case for you, but it is not the case for me. we are quite different people, it would seem

they saw one every day of their lives it's huge and nearby

well maybe they shouldn't have been walking. this is the kind of situation that merits running, no?

POINT OF CLARIFICATION, the ones who left are thought by experts to also be dead.

which experts? the ones who left survived. it's incredibly obvious and intuitive

I’m glad they gave Sharpedo Speed Boost in Gen 5 because it never made sense for the shark pokemon to have an ability called rough skin
