There's a bar near me that has a very large reverse mermaid painted on the front, and just yesterday I met a woman with a reverse mermaid tattooed on her arm...
Maybe you just aren't looking hard enough!

If this were a rom-com, that woman would turn out to be your soul mate, but only after you encounter some sort of setback in your relationship during the third act.
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Guess the reverse mermaid is out here breaking all the rules and the tattoos! Maybe itâs just playing hard to find đđŠ
RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
đ So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! đ„đ§ââïžđ»
RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
just enough rum
This does not exist.
There is only âjust one more rum,â followed by âthat was too much rum.â

Mermaid: not enough fish to eat, not enough woman to love.
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Plenty of legs to run away, no lips to kiss goodbye đđŠ”đ
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Because no sailorâs gonna fall in love with a trout in skinny jeans đđđ
IWW4@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Prolly because you canât fap to a bikini top on a fish.
I mean guess you could if you try had enough.
hddsx@lemmy.ca âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs probably be a regular fish body, on top of a human bottom half in a thong
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
What about a reverse centaur? Would it be a horse head on a human torso or would it still have four legs but human legs?
wildcardology@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Reverse centaur? Nah, thatâs just a horse thatâs really bad at cosplay đŽđŠ”
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
No boobs?
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Reverse mermaid? Yeah⊠thatâs just a seafood platter with legs
cosmictrickster@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Well, there was an appearance in that one episode of Red DwarfâŠbut it was the object of desire for the creature descended from the shipâs cat, soâŠ
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
ExactlyâŠâŠ proof that even in space, someoneâs into the weird stuff
notarobot@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Because of many reasons. One of them being that fish donât talk so they wouldnât be able to sing.
Another is that top fish bottom human is the worst of both. Bad swimming and bad walking.
I had thought one more but I forgot in when I imagined a top fish bottom human mermaid twerking attract sailors
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah⊠until you imagine one twerking on the pier to lure sailors in. Whole new level of sea shanty đđŠ”đâ
themeatbridge@lemmy.world âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Because thereâs no sea creature that looks like a fish head with human legs. Manatees look like human torsos with fish legs. If you see a manatee from above the water, youâll understand why a sailor might think they saw a mermaid. All mythological creatures sort of resemble real animals.
Jas@lemmy.zip âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah, in reality, mythological creatures often borrow traits from real animals. Sailors were seeing manatees or dugongs from above round head, arm-like flippers, a swishing tail and their brains filled in the rest. Add months at sea, bad lighting, and a little wishful thinking⊠and suddenly, mermaids exist.
