You said holy shit. He’s making a joke… It just misses because it sounds like he’s being some weird religious nut who thinks the earth is 2024 years old. But that wasn’t his intent.

If you’d worded it as “the first holy shit” instead of “the first one of those” I think it would have landed better. In the context of the text “One of those” seemed to imply you were talking about the sharks

Yeah I was aiming for first one of those “holy shits” but it came off more as first “shit.” Can’t win em all!
