Amazing how you can tell which country this is taken in.

If you zoom right in on the mountain in the background...

Then zoom out again and look at the kayak, it's got a massive "CHOKING HAZARD DO NOT EAT PLEASE DON'T SUE" sticker on it πŸ˜‚

Yeah, plus it looks east-coasty. Maybe North Carolina. But idk

It looks a lot like Whiteside mountain in NC, but idk if there's a river you can kayak on that close to Whiteside.

If it's Minnesota we may be looking at Colonel O'Neill's lake.

Oh GTFO man. This is a beautiful picture of a mountain, why do you feel the need to turn it into an excuse to shit on other people.

[–] Mister@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It’s a Swedish kayak too. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Allow me to let you in on a secret: The fishing is just an excuse for seeing nature's beauty and chilling out but you get food sometimes too.

glad there were no fish

don’t need to kill anyone to enjoy a nice day on the lake

If I catch a fish I eat it. I put the organs and remaining carcass in my garden to fertilize it. Not a huge fan of catch and release. Relax.

[–] TooMuchDog@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know you don't have to kill fish when you go fishing

the fish either die or a hook goes through their face and then they drown? Like, just leave them alone.

Gotta eat though, you're always killing something by being alive.

[–] riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yup. But you should at least strive to do the least harm reasonably possible. That includes not killing anyone who had a mother for a snack.

[–] ACatNamedBunny@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If someone had my mother as a snack, I'd absolutely kill it
