A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
“While Kentucky doesn't have an ocean, it does have aquariums. In 2006, at least 12 people at Kentucky's Newport Aquarium were bitten by sharks while at an exhibit that allows visitors to touch the animals”
Keep in mind that this aquarium is just across the river from the zoo where parents let their kids fall into the gorilla exhibits.
HARAMBE!!!!!
Is this an example of American exceptionalism?
Yes
And yet it's an awesome aquarium and I highly recommend it. Including the 'touch a shark' part.
It was surprising how sandpaper-ish they feel.
Yes! Me too! I was totally expecting them to be slick.
They swim up the Mississipi
People don't realize that Mississippi is an acronym and all of the s's are for 'shark.'

Really rolls off the tongue!
bull sharks are the only ones that go that far north right? they can maintain the salinity around them or some cool shit like that
This is shockingly relevant
sharkingly*
Definitely.
I also want to get the last 3 frames printed on a t-shirt. I have a young daughter, and it amuses me even more since that happened.
I can suspend my disbelief to a point but I have just one question.
Where did the helium come from?
Electrolysis and then nuclear fusion.
SCIENCE!
Non-midwesterners: surprised
Midwesterners who've had a fear of bull sharks since their friend told them about them when they were 5: see I knew it could happen
My childhood nightmares of encountering a shark in a hotel pool can actually happen
Bull sharks yo
Could it be loan sharks?
The chances of a shark attacking you on dry land are low but never zero!
That's just basic quantum physics.
NM, IL, KY, PA?
I remember reading the NM one happened in a aquarium, but it is still counted. Bull sharks do travel up the Mississippi River and tributaries and have been reported in IL.
Just realized New York has a lot of shark attacks unless you're taking about loan sharks where the fuck do you get attacked by a shark in the toxic wasteland that is the entire state every water source is a pond full of garbage and other stuff you really don't want to touch
At the New York Aquarium
Ah, the elusive lank-shark!
Sharknado motherfucker
Okay, but New Mexico??? We barely have lakes here!
You rock! I'm spreading that information like gospel to everyone I talk to this week!
flying in the air sharks
now that's some kind of horror
Sharks Georg, who lives in Missouri with his shark collection, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
Bull shark attack in the Ozarks no? At least that is what all the locals claim haha.
Could it be a zoo? No, that would be too easy
Flying street sharks are more likely
True, there are more streets than zoos
Bull sharks can swim up freshwater rivers. In this case, the Mississippi for the central US.
I would guess Rio Grande for New Mexico.
THERE'S A SHARK IN THE BATHTUB
🎤🎤 Scary flying shark, scary flying shark, Careful you, he's out hunting in the dark 🎤🎤
Washington State? Aren’t our waters too cold and with the seafloors all barren wastelands except a few kelp forests that somehow exist despite only getting sunlight for 4 months a year?
