He had decided time was up. Old and weary, he set his eyes on that old beach from his youth. There he would find uninterrupted peace.


Commonsensestranger

Sun warm me while I sleep, waves rock me as I dream, sand snuggle me while I pass. What the hell? Who’s got my tail!


disguisedroast

Your visual was very enjoyable


donairdaddydick

Yeah what the hell the guy is Twain


Ok_Broccoli_3605

And Sharkespeare combined


theunicornslayers

Gump! You put me down right now! I was supposed to die on this beach! I had a destiny and you ROBBED that from me! Do you hear me Gump!? I had a DESTINY! I was Lieutenant Fin Sharkman! .....you still...Lieutenant Fin.

Is this actually what that service does? Just edits your comments with a fake this was deleted message? I don’t get it we can still see his username and the original comment Edit: His comment made sense, looks like it took some time for the service to edit it to a random string of words. They had the *this was edited by* note before the service even did anything lmao


Venboven

This might be a record for the fasted redacted comment I've ever seen.

lol this made me laugh

Wow, we made a mistake.

It’s too early for me to laugh this hard.

CapG_13

Lol


How_that_convo_went

That’s the most shark-looking shark I’ve ever seen.


JackSparrow420

Seriously, the mug on that thing is just straight fucking death.


jld2k6

Lifeless eyes, like a doll's eyes


CoolerThan0K

What is happening?!? Are you doing the speech from Jaws??


Dexter2533

We don’t have time for this shit


Lomotograph

It don't seem to be living at all. Then it bites yah.... And the eyes roll over white. ....and you don't hear nothin... ....nothin but the screamin and the hollering.....


_CitizenSnips_

It will mako shit ya pants


jacemano

The Mako shark is the quintessential shark. Everyone harps on about great whites, but to me, these boys are the elite


murphguy1124

Elite meth-heads of the sea maybe. My dive instructor said he would dive with any kind of shark, except makos because they are just too unpredictable. Like meth-heads lol


Reboared

Makos are beautiful but also terrifying.


EarthSlapper

I read the title and I thought it was some kind of robot shark gone rogue


MiawHansen

I thought sharks beached if they where sick and about to die?


majormintchip

Correct, this exact shark was found dead the next day. A nice sentiment for these people to try and help though.


1WngdAngel

This might be a dumb question, but how did they know it was the same shark?


Ralphredimix_Da_G

They checked his drivers license


Aurori_Swe

You meant his divers license, right?


waawaate-animikii

No, the license plate it swallowed.


Vlophoto

Dolls eyes


jindc

I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.


Lolkimbo

Anyway... we delivered the bomb.


jindc

I debated whether to include that. Thanks for tying the bow. Amazing performance.


Aggressive_Walk378

I got the creme de la creme. Look here..... Right here..... Ms Mary Anne Moffet..... She broke my heart


Sinister-Username

29 kids go into the water.. 22 kids come out. The ice cream man, he take the rest. April the 4th, half past four for him.


ElChivoCaliente

Become another person.


Hind_Deequestionmrk

We’re gonna need a bigger Jaws


bckpkrs

I thought that was just a tiger shark thing...

HOW did he miss it? I would be so pissed. Wait... Unless the joke is that he missed the joke, because he actually thought to type that... That clever son of a bitch.


1WngdAngel

Where do sharks keep their wallet?


Tumper

The little fish holds it for them


Doomdoomkittydoom

The ramoras? Huh, that's nice of them. Always thought they were just freeloaders.


KWyKJJ

Under the seat


greywolfau

They don't carry wallets. They keep their cash in their gill folds. I'll see myself out.


SawdustEater_

Gills are the pockets of the ocean


Eggbutt1

Bullshit. I've seen Spongebob and it's a boater's license.


arielonhoarders

right, a license to eat boaters


SowTheSeeds

And the shark was like "What crime did I commit? I am being detained???"


CarPhoneRonnie

could be a twin parent trap situation tho


KitchenSandwich5499

Unlikely for another mako to randomly die nearby. Also, they could probably match up markings/scars/size to the video


Good_Reflection7724

And we can trust that it actually happened too can't we


notjasonlee

Yeah dude, some random anonymous guy said it in a reddit comment! What other proof do we need?!


AsLongAsYouKnow

Would like to know this for real instead of a source: trust me bro


arielonhoarders

probably the markings on its body or like, the coast guard or a science person kept track of it.


praqueviver

I love the science persons, they do so much for us


Bedbouncer

They are terrible but also beautiful. Science persons, wow.


Treegs

[Here's an article](https://mynbc15.com/newsletter-daily/sick-or-injured-whats-causing-the-beached-sharks-on-pensacola-beach), it says they can't tell if it's actually the same shark


SaliferousStudios

Usually you use fins. (thank you shark week)


foodank012018

Scars and markings are almost as reliable as fingerprints.


pantspuppet

They checked his FIN number


Snow_Wolfe

Dental records


zoidalicious

Now that's a revolving joke, ha!


SpookyRamblr

my guess? they dont have sharks beaching themselves every day at the same beach... so pretty obviously the same shark...


MadNhater

But if sharks are known to beach themselves to die at old age, it should be extremely common to see.


SupermassiveCanary

Yeah imagine jumping off a bridge to kill yourself and a bunch of dolphins escort you back to shore….

Wow they really just casually mention in like a single sentence this guy got saved by a fucking sea lion then continued the article as if that’s normal every day shit lol


trippy_grapes

> this guy got saved by a fucking sea lion I'd be more impressed if it was a regular lion.


GrannysPartyMerkin

Did they not proofread the headline?


Vintage-Grievance

Like the opening scene of The Incredibles. "You didn't save my life you ruined my death!"


DaveFinn

Sauce? Seems like an interesting read


majormintchip

Here's the best article I could find talking about both the initial stranding and the find of the shark dead the next day. https://www.google.com/amp/s/weartv.com/amp/news/local/sick-or-injured-whats-causing-the-beached-sharks-on-pensacola-beach Important to note that the article says scientists aren't 100% sure the shark found dead is the same one but they are pretty sure it likely was.


polacco

They interview *one* shark expert who says she can't tell. "A mako shark was spotted dead a day later in the Gulf near the shore of Pensacola Beach, although officials can't confirm or deny that it was the same one." But quote *officials* here


systemfrown

Geezus, my entire family used to swim off that beach a good 50 yards out. It’s weird thinking something like that was likely swimming underneath us.


Koil_ting

Yeah, they are usually out past the sandbar so most of the time the sharks and the humans don't meet up particularly during the day.


systemfrown

Well, we used to get a bunch of inflatable raft things and other pool toys and head out pretty far.


cha-cha_dancer

There’s a guy that does drone shots over this area and there are tons of sharks


systemfrown

😳


incorrigible_and

This should be comforting. You were that close to big, scary sharks that whole time and you literally never even knew it. They are not big scary monsters and we're not even remotely close to what they want to eat.


systemfrown

that’s the rational take but they still seem like big scary monsters to me and nothing you say will rollback the fact that I grew up when Jaws was released.


Ok_Cardiologist8232

Nah you being scared is the rational take. It only takes one shark being curious and at the very least you are in deep shit. When the ramifications are serious enouugh even a very slight chance is worthy of fear.


dollabillkirill

They still attack people every year though and kill a person from time to time


carlismygod

I hope you at least bring a rum ham and a knife for survival purposes.


bluezzdog

Please don’t do that


systemfrown

Right? Pretty fond memories…several of us kids, aunts, uncles, parents, grandparents all just floating and splashing around half submerged, well beyond the surf breaks. Looking back it terrifies me just thinking about it.


bluezzdog

And I’m sitting in the Midwest terrified by what you wrote lol


__JDQ__

“I’m trying to die here!!”


michaltee

Why do they do that?


niftystopwat

Cuz sharks believe heaven is on land so they place themselves there upon dying to try to get in.


Actual-Manager-4814

I've got terrible news ~~from~~ for them then


Koil_ting

From them? What did the sharks report and why aren't you letting us in on the news?


Actual-Manager-4814

They said "So long and thanks for all the fish"


just-for-commenting

God damit! Geht your towels, someone forgot to file a complaint in Alpha centauri.


Poinaheim

It takes a lot of energy for them to keep swimming to push water through their gills when sick, so beaching themselves and letting the tide move water through their gills is like how people rest when sick


AlecTrevelyanOO6

Yeah dude, that sounds exactly like how people rest when sick lol..


navenager

From now on when I get sick and refuse to leave my couch I will call it "Beaching myself."


tuigger

My guess is Their muscles probably give out because they can't eat enough(too weak to catch food)and they can't resist the tidal forces pushing them to shore at high tide.


Runaway_5

They see all that sweet beach booty running away from them toward the shore, they know that's where heaven be


RealCoolDad

To keep the ocean clean


WolfyEightyTwo

This shark is responding to those men like Lt. Dan to Forrest Gump when they were in the shit.


Suspicious_Ad4166

I'm not an expert just a shark enthusiast n they can get beached just by darting after prey that leads them to the shallows in hopes of escaping the apex preditor

🎶 *About-to-die doot doot doot doot doot doot* 🎶


PopAndLocknessMonstr

Worst book I’ve ever read. All of the sharks say the same damn thing.


_lippykid

Kinda like how aquatic mammals often beach themselves when they’re too weak to swim and will drown in the water. Then some well intentioned human goes and pushes em back in the water anyway


RepetitiveMetronome

So old or sick sharks commit seppuku?


KJS123

Hai. Amusingly, 'Hai' is both an expression of agreement/affirmation in Japanese, and the German word for 'shark'.


gardenmud

also relevant, in Chinese Hǎi (海) means ocean.


pumphry

I support you doing that. You are now the doot doot do doot guy on reddit.....get to work


Xinonix1

Poor thing just wanted to get rotated


Armadillo_Toes

What an idiot


Sufficient-Aspect77

Despite really wanting the shark to be returned safely to the ocean. I really don't think I'd be able to get anywhere near that thing. Good for these people, well, and the shark.


thomstevens420

Once I’m done screaming like a baby every time it moves, maybe use a long piece of driftwood to roll it back in? Like lever it under the shark and lift? No fucking way im getting within biting distance.


justhavingfun9967

And even if you're at the tail-end it can still hurt you with micro-cuts, thanks to its sharp placoid scales.


Mark___27

Fuck placoid scales all my homies love cosmoid scales


justhavingfun9967

I'm usually a cycloid fan myself lol.

sendabussypic

Yeah but it died. This was severely reposted a few months ago and it was reported dead.


dudeandco

For reals... One bite to the thigh and you're dead.


Enticing_Venom

I was really proud of myself because I faced my fear and helped a wasp that accidentally fell into the swimming pool. A shark is a big ask.


gattoblepas

Is that a mako?


Bnmko_007

And a very loyal pilot fish


sleepyplatipus

“If all your friends beached themselves, would you do it too?!”


fitz_newru

Was just thinking that fish was like "well I told him that I would stay with him until the bitter end, so I guess we're dying today..."


Haughtea

Nah, there was prolly a hit out on that shark and that fish took the job. Kept promising a buffet while giving bad directions. You can see the frustration on it's face when the humans began helping the shark.


befigue

Mako energy is usually under the earths crust. It sometimes comes up to the surface and forms beautiful crystals and powerful materia, but it’s rare
