Originally posted by netstat I used to live on the coast and felt shittier because the city was too crowded and the cost of living too high but take out those factors and living next to the ocean is definitely more pleasant than the prairies/mountains.
Disagree. I have a cabin on a lake and i constantly find myself exploring the hills and forestry in the area instead of staring at a flat lake. Id much rather look at mountains any day of the week. Mountains and rolling hills make me think about climbing and all the badass animals that live around them, not some shitty octopus or slimy fish -

You know what i just might. Personally i've never drowned but it's supposed to be the worst thing until you go loopy from lack of oxygen. I hear it's pretty nice when that happens. That said, i prefer my lungs without water. At least on the outside.
Reminds me of a song where they literally say something along the lines of 'I want to drown again'. But i don't remember where i heard it or who made it, apparently drowning makes my brain fire in the category for music. I'm sure that has a good reason. -

Supposedly, your airway closes off and you ultimately die of asphyxiation. The water enters your lungs only if you swallow a bunch while struggling. There's no direct inhaling of water afaik.
That's just what I've heard though, could be wrong. -

Have you ever gone swimming as a kid? Or an adult, i don't really care. To dive in from some high point all "kowabonga" like only to realize when you've hit the water that that was a bad idea. Or seen those vids where they purposefully drown rats in water that's super saturated with oxygen? (They live don't worry about it) Well, at some point you lose against the urge to breathe.
It sounds weird but, that's how you get water in your lungs. -
2020-02-03 at 9:05 AM UTCNot being able to breathe causes that full on panic feeling. That is pretty fucking horrible.

Yeah, you might get a little bit as you struggle, but then your throat does indeed seal off.Generally, in the early stages of drowning a person holds their breath to prevent water from entering their lungs.[7] When this is no longer possible a small amount of water entering the trachea causes a muscular spasm that seals the airway and prevents further passage of water.[7] If the process is not interrupted, loss of consciousness due to hypoxia is followed rapidly by cardiac arrest.
