One key problem with the claim that Ocean Ramsey is saving sharks by convincing people that they're not dangerous is "people wrongly thinking sharks are dangerous" is not the reason why sharks are threatened.
Personally, I prefer to solve conservation problems based on evidence, data, and reality.

Rabies is no joke.
It is a deadly virus that is 100% fatal if you get symptoms in both dogs and people. There is no cure beyond a tiny fraction of people and animals that survive it- but it rounds up to 100% fatal.

LOL! Local youths in the park are trying to trick gullible passers-by into paying a €2 fee to sit on the bench 😂😂 Hope no-one's stupid enough to fall for it. It's much more cost-effective to purchase their €25 monthly bench ticket like I did.

More and more it occurs to me that the entire Yellowstone universe is really about white fools stealing land from the Natives and being cursed to be tortured for it for generations. It makes them all vicious and miserable and sucks the joy from their lives.

Tech tip for people who are not as good at computers as me:
A great way to organise your files is by storing them in "folders". And the most useful part is that computers are so advanced nowadays that they automatically number your folders so that you can easily tell them apart 👍

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them.
That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for.
*Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

Want a game that's fun for the whole family? Try Ladder Ham! It's the ultimate game of strategy!
![Ladder Ham
Climb the ladder and claim the ham!
[Picture of a family underneath a stepladder which has a ham on the top step]
Rules of Ladder Ham
1. The ham is placed securely at the top of the ladder
2. Ladder Ham is a 4-player game (if a 5th player joins the game, they are immediately disqualified)
3. The aim of the game is to climb the ladder and claim the ham
4. Ladder Ham is a game of strategy so you will need to outwit your opponents and misdirect them away from the ham
5. If nobody has climbed the ladder and claimed the ham within 4 hours, a second ladder is introduced
6. If nobody has climbed the ladder and claimed the ham within 8 hours, a second ham is introduced
7. Win or lose, you may not eat the ham](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7yqyy4ljuhvmzihgdu4rmpqs/bafkreibqcljyx2rmfp3dtwbes7nbtqvwh47v4s4ivom6ldk6q3ibbzqrxy@jpeg)

Dear Olympic Committee,
Due to recent housekeeping issues, safety concerns, contentious political climate, & the spirit of ethical sportsmanship, I suggest you pick a new country to host the #LA2028 Olympic Games. I no longer think the USA is a viable candidate.

My 4-point marketing plan to change negative views of jellyfish:
1. Rebrand them as Ocean Puppies
2. Dig up dirt on people who claim to have been stung by an ocean puppy and blackmail them to retract
3. Get ocean puppies into petting zoos so kids can pet them
4. If they sting any kids, see point 2
