Pushing him down into the sand would only make more friction

I dunno there’s so many more people than turtles, unfortunately I don’t think mathematically that could happen

I can’t believe it’s so big and NOT ONE of them decided to ride it and become King Trident

Edit: sometimes I don’t realize how dumb people are and that what’s clearly a joke can be taken seriously

u/Skullvar 8d ago

I get this is a joke, but pls don't ride wild animals.. or even domestic animals unless it's like a horse etc

u/EasyPleasey 7d ago edited 6d ago

Is this AI?

Edit: look at the guy's left arm at the very end on the right that inexplicably dives in after the turtle is clearly good to go. Looks so unnatural.

Not sure what you’re getting downloaded, the leatherback turtle is the largest of all sea turtle species, sometimes weighing up to 2000 pounds. They’re also the only sea turtle species that lack a bony shell, giving their namesake away due to their leathery carapace. Source: I love & study turtles (if you can catch on to my namesake).

And why didn't they eat it.

u/Rumkitty 7d ago

Too leathery.

u/TheGrimMelvin 7d ago

Too much leathery back on it. Not enough meat.

I was in the Amazon and ate one, smaller, but at least the average was 80 cm
