same with the Iditarod. As a kid, I was led to believe this was the biggest sporting event on Earth besides the Olympics. Now nobody even talks about it

Does anyone else think hammerhead sharks have been... maybe a little too quiet?

Great whites are just like running backs or a slow AF freight train, tigers are twitchy like that meth head at the petrol station, bull sharks are actually bullies, makos are a bullet train with teeth and something to prove, hammerheads are just plain graceful.

Coolest shark is definitely a hammerhead, I'll vote for the Great HH.

[edit 2nd coolest sharks are Nurse Sharks because you can wade / sit in the water and they come up like dogs.

Nurse sharks are friendly? The things I remember about them from my childhood book on sharks are: they sleep in big piles on the ocean floor, their eggs are like weird sacks, and they latch on after biting and will not let go

They're normally docile, unless you get caught up in them while they're feeding

Don’t you blaspheme in here! Hammerheads are right in there at the top!!

Mako #1, obvs. But that’s cool.

Imagine thinking great white isn't #1, smh

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The only thing Great Whites have going for them is their flavor in Shark Bites gummies. Basking Shark is obv the best.

Imagine, in the year of our lord 2024, not recognizing the noble whale shark as the peak of sharkitude.
