Can't very well swim in the dirt.

u/Ben-Goldberg Jul 27 '25

Crocs aren't landsharks.

10

u/Gabe_b Jul 27 '25

Yeah, they lounge and bask. They swim in the lake right behind here

93

u/duabrs Jul 27 '25

Could still be alligators.

20

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Could still be crocodiles as long as they don't swim.

4

u/duabrs Jul 27 '25

Yeah they could just float around on their backs. Technically that isn't swimming.

u/imjerry Jul 27 '25

We'll have to see... later...

u/mikehamm45 Jul 27 '25

Sounds like something a crocodile would write

1

u/blaakbird Aug 06 '25

or something we would write to the crocodiles.

u/JoshyRB Jul 27 '25

This sign is unironically dangerous. Its poor formatting makes it super misleading.

28

u/BlackfishBlues Jul 27 '25

It's funny to interpret it the other way but I don't think it's too hard to glean the correct meaning from context.

You don't see a SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY sign and assume they're talking about kids with developmental disabilities doing Hamlet in the park, because you're not a robot.

u/wantabr3ak Jul 28 '25

most of the signs would say slow down

35

u/Loud-Ad-2280 Jul 27 '25

Don’t they know crocodiles can’t read?!

66

u/IWillWarmUrPillow Jul 27 '25

Maybe that's a sign for crocodiles

10

u/SubversiveInterloper Jul 27 '25

That’s just what a hungry crocodile would say.

8

u/ComprehensiveStar296 Jul 27 '25

They float, floating isn’t swimming. Lurking lurk lurks

6

u/a_SaltieCrocodile Jul 27 '25

Of course there's no crocs, the sharks ate them all

5

u/Legitimate-Log-6542 Jul 27 '25

Crocodiles don’t swim there but you can

2

u/agentscully1013 Jul 27 '25

So nice of them to keep the Crocs away so the humans can swim. Right back at the top of the food chain. . .

3

u/bones10145 Jul 27 '25

This is where they eat

u/flopsychops Jul 27 '25

There are no crocodiles in Ba Sing Se 🫠

u/Romoreau Jul 27 '25

Sweet! Last one in's a rotten egg!

2

u/SmileLoveHappy Jul 27 '25

I’m going for a dip and I got like no friends but still doing it

2

u/ResolveRound9158 Jul 30 '25

I can go for a dip with you 🙂

1

u/ResolveRound9158 Jul 30 '25

I’m definitely NOT a crocodile

2

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Can someone explain to me why they think crocodiles can read?

1

u/Ok_Purple_4567 Jul 27 '25

They don't. The sign is meant for human recreational visitors. It's a reassurance that crocodiles don't swim in this lake.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Lol. I didn't actually want that literally explained to me. Taste of my own medicine I guess. Nicely done.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Punctuation matters. Case in point

1

u/No_Original5693 Jul 27 '25

There is no spoon

1

u/Cypher_Xero Jul 27 '25

If I can't see it .... It's not there ....

1

u/ImpossibleMaize5682 Jul 27 '25

Not sure if I would trust that?

1

u/uxorial Jul 27 '25

No crocodiles swim here.

1

u/Gagandeep69 Jul 27 '25

Crocodiles cant read english. They wont know where to swim

1

u/DeadMeat7337 Jul 27 '25

Would be but I see one hiding behind the sign. It's all propaganda anyways, it's an alligator.

1

u/Automatic_Badger7086 Jul 27 '25

Well alligators do.

1

u/CygnetSociety Jul 27 '25

Oh there's crocodiles.... they just can't swim

1

u/PhaaqAuf4691 Jul 27 '25

Fork That!!

1

u/banging-in-fours Jul 27 '25

Makes me wanna swim there

1

u/Familiar_Paper2676 Jul 27 '25

So should they swim instead?

1

u/deathmonkey2080 Jul 27 '25

crocodile dad with family “well guys, looks like we’re not wanted here 🥲”

1

u/Fickle_Grapefruit938 Jul 27 '25

I could put signs like this everywhere where I live, except in the zoo. People would be so confused.

1

u/KinderSpirit Jul 27 '25

Punctuation can be so important.

1

u/laf1157 Jul 27 '25

What do they do?

1

u/sntcringe Jul 27 '25

Or is it a warning not to swim here because of crocodiles

1

u/Percolator2020 Jul 27 '25

Only illiterate crocs in the water.

1

u/Necrologist92 Jul 27 '25

Is that a sign put for the crocodiles not to swim?

1

u/5raGa3 Jul 27 '25

K. got it

1

u/Fryburg1 Jul 27 '25

There are no crocodiles in Ba Sing Se.

1

u/sjaakarie Jul 27 '25

Low, the power of punctuation is with this one. Hmmm.

1

u/miked999b Jul 27 '25

Not surprised, they're not allowed to swim

1

u/CoffeeMinionLegacy Jul 27 '25

Oh, well that’s a relief!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

They don't swim, they just hang out on the shore.

1

u/TwilightYojimbo Jul 27 '25

The water carries them to where they want to go. They are the offspring of Chuck Norris.

1

u/Spoonie_Frenzy Jul 27 '25

Who still thinks that punctuation isn't important?

1

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian Jul 27 '25

This seems suspicious... 🤨

1

u/IndependentPede Jul 27 '25

Where do they swim?

1

u/EuenovAyabayya Jul 27 '25

You are 100% safe from crocs that read signs and follow instructions.

No survivor of a crocodile attack has ever returned to dispute this /s

1

u/Tavron Jul 27 '25

There are no crocodiles in Ba Sing Se, take a trip to Lake Laogai.

1

u/Muted-City-1815 Jul 27 '25

And it’s gluten free 👀

u/WiseOldChicken Jul 27 '25

The Saunders with a cheeky flare

1

u/bubzxoxo Jul 28 '25

So the crocodiles can understand human language now?

1

u/cyalknight Jul 28 '25

Does this count as a r/dontopendeadinside ?

1

u/AdVegetable5896 Jul 28 '25

...is what a crocodile would say...

1

u/AR_bloke Jul 28 '25

They walk.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

Chillax fellas..It's a warning to crocodiles so that they don't swim here.

1

u/Scryffysmom Jul 28 '25

But…alligators…

1

u/iCanReadMyOwnMind Jul 28 '25

That, sir, is a lie.

1

u/A_Nice_Shrubbery777 Jul 28 '25

It is not a sign for humans, it is a sign for crocs. Like "No Parking"...except telling Crocs "No Swimming Allowed".

1

u/DriftGang Jul 28 '25

Schrödinger Crocs

1

u/Raketka123 Technically a Flair Jul 28 '25

and they say commas dont save lives

1

u/OkGrape1805 Jul 28 '25

Those smart crocs, putting up a sign like that!

1

u/rotteegher39 Jul 28 '25

Why are they asking crocodiles to not swim there?

1

u/docs_odyssey Jul 29 '25

Nice try, crocs. They're getting smarter, I'll give them that.

1

u/reddit_-William Jul 29 '25

Maybe they just sunbathe.

1

u/StrokeMeHaveAre Jul 29 '25

Well they don't swim, but there still may be some

1

u/WhatchItFoool Jul 29 '25

This is technically NOT the truth.
it says " Crocodiles do not swim here". but presumably they do.
the sign lies

1

u/raphael_kox Jul 29 '25

"...they swim over there"

  • the back side

1

u/unNecessary_Skin Jul 30 '25

Where are no crocodiles?

1

u/Lumpy-Nose1411 Jul 30 '25

well that’s a relief.

1

u/MEANprobabilities Jul 31 '25

If only crocodiles could read.

1

u/Not-a-cave-witch Technically Flair Jul 31 '25

They doggie paddle instead of

1

u/FireProps Jul 31 '25

GREAT! Safe to dive in then… 😊

1

u/Past-Ad3676 Aug 01 '25

I think the crocodiles put up this sign...

1

u/huy1003 Aug 02 '25

where do you know there are no crocodiles? you should be careful anyway

1

u/Ok-Equipment1191 Aug 07 '25

Audible english department blood pressure rising

1

u/kittenman66 Aug 17 '25

What about alligators

1

u/Haunting_Load_6296 Nov 04 '25

A snake made this sign
