A, yes, quick sand, the bane of my childhood.

My mom once actually stepped in quicksand (thankfully only up to the top of her boot). It was in Canada. Yes, Canada has quicksand! She was visiting my uncle in Saskatchewan.

Unlike the movies, it fits its name. One minute she was walking, then suddenly it was like she fell into a pit, but couldn't get her boot out. I can't remember how the story ended. This was like 35 years ago that she told me about it.

Judging by she telling you this story I'd say it went quite okay.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I just mean I don't remember how she got out.

You know, seeing you in the wild I think is kinda like seeing quicksand. Very rare, usually fatal, but if you live - probably a great story.

Let's see if I get out alive.

Couple of years ago, I walked through a forest somewhere in the middle of The Netherlands, called the Waterloopbos, and I came across a blocked off area with quicksand warnings.

I kinda wish I had lost my shoes there, because the shoes I was wearing weren't good for forest walking.

That was the first and so far only time I had seen quicksand in my 44 years of existing on this blue marble.
