Do you mean times in which I made a lucky mistake that avoided me running into a fatal issue, or times in which I was in a fatal issue that didn't finish me off?

Most of them are dog attacks or almost-dog attacks. Nobody seems to know how to keep a dog on a leash. I was attacked by one while strolling and couldn't escape and another time narrowly avoided another one. Me and dogs don't seem to get along except for my own.

I was at a lagoon/pool trying to traverse across when something distracted me enough that I fell in the deep area and started drowning because I can't swim. The person who should've helped was distracted and so a family member stepped in at the last minute. Same fate almost happened to me due to some very sinky mud.

I narrowly avoided being crushed under a burning foundation by not being around for a lot longer.

I was at a psych ward for reasons I would rather not mention here, and psych ward visitors have a tendency to do something hostile and end up getting a room faster. There was an uproar that broke out because one of the patients was the son of one of the nurses, and someone else felt jealous that a patient had come in with love and support built-in into the visit, and the jealous person started threatening people, and I guess I avoided that by not really minding I was being threatened, so he (the one threatening everyone) decided to assault me, in the NSFW way.

You should learn to swim eh? Or practice simply floating? Your body does that, no?🍸

It pretty much should...can you clarify why you don't think thats the case for you if you lay on your back in the water?

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I'm not sure, but I can't say I haven't tried what other people have to the same effect as them. I am not as immune to gravity I guess.

The fat in your body does tho, regardless of how skinny you are. Think about how people try to "bury" dead bodies in water and how they seem to float up at the worst times lol

That may explain things then, if factoring in I'm on the underweight side.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Right but you still have fat in you and water, and bone, and muscle, all of which combine to inform my assertion that you cannot sink if you simply lay back and allow yourself to float. You also have 2 natural floatation devices which as a male I am not blessed with ;)

Presumably even taking your underweightedness into account

Oh yeah, those two little buddies hanging out down below my shoulders. Well I guess, supposing I do find myself in a situation involving it, I'll naturally keep people here up to date on if water wins out.

This inspired my next ShittyAskLemmy haha

You mean this one? It doesn't seem very related to sizeable breasts or vulnerability to drowning to me.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
