In reality it means constant danger from every angle at all times

Yes, I have worked a corporate job and I know how it works.

No, I mean from other creatures in your local area. Big groups of them might come over and steal some of whatever you find for yourself.

My bosses steal all the value I provide, I barely scrounge enough to stay alive.

Well, since I am homeless as well despite corporate job, I know how that works too.

Dang you really got the worst of all worlds.

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Not really. Everything was exaggerated for comedic effect.

Mermaids have evolved eyes at the front of their face. They are clearly predators.

Shark having an existential crisis.

I feel like half of the crocodiles are one and half the other

I ate fermented shark meat in Iceland and I have never tasted something more disgusting and pervasive in my life. The taste just refused to go away. Plus it was -20 in the middle of the night while we were attempting to catch faint Aurora in the sky but all I could focus on was trying to swish enough saliva around in my mouth in an attempt to get rid of that smell.

So uhhh.... Save the sharks!

You supposed to be drinking vodka with it. Helps with the flavor.

Mermaids get mermaid magic and plot armour, failing that you can find a prince to stab your enemies with a fucking boat.
