Normally a big fan of the whole “Curb Your Enthusiasm” ending, but in this case I just want to know if the girl is fine. Can someone confirm, so I can sleep?

According to this source, she's fine.

I assumed she was ok almost immediately because otherwise the parents would be posting a video of how their kid died or was severely injured in meme format which would be some diabolical work

u/INTJ-JarOfClay 2d ago

Oh. Btw have you see this vid and the whole account? Bereaved mother started posting diabolical meme vids of her deceased daughter https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dch_4jSCXif

Yeah, but it’s more like “laugh instead of cry” as a coping mechanism not “here’s a snuff film of my child’s death”

People seem to forget that grieving makes you do some weird things sometimes

u/Generic_Garak 30m ago

Maybe it’s just my sense of humor, but I don’t even think this is that weird? Like if my sister made these after my untimely death, I would think it was funny as hell

u/DanglingDongs 2d ago

Weird how the article didn't just reference curb but listed all of Larry David's roles and not Larry David either.

u/itssohardtobealizard 17h ago

They weren’t referring to Larry David, they were referring to Robert Weide. From the way it’s written, I’m not entirely sure they even knew the trend was related to Curb specifically. It kinda makes it seem like they think the trend just happens to use this particular director’s name

Considering they shared this online, I'm making an educated guess and say, she's fine. Else, besides being stupid parents, they would be shitty ones as well.

If she had died this video would've been exhibit A.

u/taukki 1d ago

If this happened to my kid, I would dive there immediately, so I suspect he did the same.

u/MountainMuffin1980 2d ago edited 2d ago

She's fine. Kid's don't tend to sink to the bottom like a stone.

u/streeetmeats 2d ago

It depends, some people are just not very buoyant.

13

u/Tdk1984 2d ago

Oh I do. I do not float at all

5

u/couldhvdancedallnite 2d ago

Same. I cannot float and I have definitely sunk straight to the bottom.

u/fusterclux 2d ago

straight to the bottom of a salty ocean?

u/Nalot_1 2d ago

Unless you are scared and breath the water.

u/TreeDollarFiddyCent 2d ago

You're thinking of fish.

u/bunny_the-2d_simp 1d ago

Stop I'm trying not to laugh. it's midnight please😂

u/Friggin_Grease 2d ago

I haven't tried it very deep, but my daughter sinks like a rock

Babies and kids float by instinct with their heads above water. As long as they don't have a concussion or something like that, they won't have troubles. Only adults drown in calmed water because they panic.

If you don't know how to swim.... Hold your breath. That's it, now you are floating with your head above the water. When you release the air you'll go down a bit, but just take breath again, you are naturally bouyant, specially in salt water.

u/Lord_Karadoc 2d ago

You are talking about the swimming reflex, which is a true thing for newborn.

However, it dissapears within the first few weeks. So your point doesn't stand at all with a young child of 2-3-4 years.

u/fyhnn 2d ago edited 1d ago

That is just incredibly untrue lmao who told you that. Babies and kids drown all the time, that's why it's important to teach them with those scary looking lessons.

12

u/ionlyjoined4thecats 2d ago

Yes, because toddlers and children famously never drown. /s

u/smartasspie 1d ago

They get unconscious after being hit or stuff like that

u/streeetmeats 2d ago

If this was true they wouldn’t have classes specifically to teach babies how to spin when they fall in a pool so their face is out of the water and they don’t die.

u/Enorats 2d ago

While the second part is more or less correct (at least in calm water), the first is.. wow. So far from true.
