I still haven’t forgiven the stingray.
I know that Steve would say it wasn’t the stingray’s fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.
But I’m not nearly as good a human as Steve.
Comment on so cozy 🐟

And Steve probably wouldn’t blame you for that either. He’d just try to soften your heart by being his usual, earnestly enthusiastic self.
Damn, this thread (and replying to your comment in particular) just hit me with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I’m so glad that I got to grow up at the time when I did, because now I have the privilege of grieving for Steve Irwin. Steve will always be a part of my fond childhood memories.
So one thing, if you haven’t seen, his son Robert is more or less following in his footsteps. his photography is insanely good.

It literally stabbed him in the heart, which seems to me like an unlikely way to die to a stingray, but I’m no stingrayologist, so take that with a grain of salt.

They hurt like a bad beesting. Lifeguards will put your foot into a bag of hot water (denatures the venom) and after a few minutes, you are fine

What if I get stabbed somewhere else? Do they still just put my foot in a bag of hot water?

Yes, even if your spouse gets stung, they put your foot in hot water.
reabsorbthelight@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes. You can put your dick in the hot water too if it gets stung

Few minutes? Nah it’s a proper wound. It’s fine after a couple days in 99% of cases. But you’re underselling it.

well maybe he shouldn’t have jammed his thumb up its butthole
