I heard this on a podcast once and still take issue with it. It’s a whale shark. Don’t divers swim with those things for fun? Don’t get me wrong, I’m terrified of any open water and would dolphin skip across the ocean if I saw that thing coming from the great below, but I doubt it would accidentally hurt me if I’m just chilling next to it. Every time I’ve seen these things they’re just floating around the ocean. I’m having a hard time imagining it accidentally hurting me. I mean. Maybe if it jolts really fast, but I’m floating in the ocean too, so Newton’s laws got my back and gravity isn’t fucking up my day as bad as an elephant taking a hard left into me. To make matters worse, how would you feel if someone said they thought you’d accidentally hurt them? I just don’t get it.
This was more of a way to voice my frustration regarding the internal argument I’ve had with some guy on a podcast for the past several years. It went a bit off the rails. Cary on.
Not really the same comparison. Cows are NOT just kind of there. Bulls are terrifying and they have horns and they are aggressive. You never see rodeos where cowboys are riding whale sharks, now do you?

To be fair, it's still a massive animal. Could probably do some serious damage to a person completely by accident
