#boycott47metersdown

gentlesharks:

47 Meters Down is a new horror movie coming out June 16th. The movie follows two sisters who go cage diving with Great White sharks, only to have the cage break. The two sisters end up on the ocean floor and get surrounded by “man-eating” and “scary” Great Whites.

As the Great White population continues to plummet, this movie will only contribute to the fear of Great Whites and other shark species, similar to how Jaws did. Please consider avoiding this movie and speaking out about how it will impact the population of Great Whites and other sharks.

the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.

Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.

But buddy.

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

Buddy. It’s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you don’t know how to read?
