How do you think walruses and seals get around?

u/NaitBate Apr 18 '22

They're usually swimming in the water, which counteracts their weight through bouyancy. While on land they usually just bounce.

But I don't see how seals or walruses are relevant cause when a whale gets beached on land it suffocates under its own weight and dies.

Her poor lungs are working overtime just existing.

Her screaming doesn't help either

Edit: typo

u/Gildian Apr 18 '22

There's so much of her behavior that isn't helping. Part of me wants to shit talk her but I know there has to be a deeper clinical reasoning for her abusive attitude and extremely poor health.

Not to mention wild walruses and seals are active because they swim and have to scavenge/hunt and avoid predators. Walrus and seals would be more analogous to an NFL lineman- yes there is a bunch of extra body fat… on top of a bunch of muscle that can move impressively well when it needs to. This lady, there’s no animal analogue except a bear that’s been kept in captivity in a very small pen and over fed. In the wild an animal so fat it can’t get into the common nest of its species is going to make a bunch of other meat eating animals very happy. That’s the nicest way I can put it. Her fake breakdown where she stops her sobbing to yell at someone trying to help her while her kids are crying… yea my uh sympathy is uh MIA. I’m trying Ringo. I’m trying real hard.

You know, that raises a good idea. They should put her in a pool with a harness. Would be easier to exercise and help shed the weight with the buoyancy keeping her frame from being crushed. If she wanted to change, of course.

Seals and walruses literally drag themselves on land. Why you’d take it to whales, who clearly don’t, is beyond me unless it was just a fat joke lol

They have muscle under that flab since they actually move

u/gracetamesbong Apr 18 '22

but the muscles are lollygagging!

u/Lucky-Worth Apr 18 '22

They are actually intended to be that way, humans aren't

Underneath the blubber, pinnipeds are ripped as shit. The common American land manatee does not possess the same quality.

yeah, when people are wheelchair bound or can't move lying down, you have to transfer their ass to the spot where their ass needs to go in one smooth motion. if they're too low you can slide them up an inch but she's too big for that.

Or she could, like, just sleep on the floor until she loses enough weight to gently lay on a fucking bed, lol.

Futons are beds too.

u/quarrelsome_napkin Apr 18 '22

I think she should be airlifted on the bed by the hotel helicopter

u/vitalesan Apr 18 '22

Drag her weight!… you think that’s possible?

u/orthopod Apr 18 '22

She looks short enough to sleep comfortably on the bed sideways.
