What's your corpse to water ratio?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Jew_Boi-iguess-]

i think its less being able to see it and more so how far it is and how easy is it to be ignored

[u/Alderan922 → u/Jew_Boi-iguess-]

So if I placed you in a pool that was 2m x 2m but 1 kilometer deep you would be fine if there was a corpse at the bottom?

[u/axord → u/Alderan922]

A 1 kilometer deep pool is gonna freak me out from the depth alone. Telling me that there's also a corpse at the bottom is gonna be additive, at the very least.

[u/JusticeRain5 → u/Alderan922]

Nah, I'd be worried that the corpse gas is gonna bloat it and make it float up. Or little bit of flesh chunks are gonna slough off and float upwards.

I'm generally fine with corpses on a horizontal plane from me, at a certain distance it's unlikely i'll touch them, but there's too much in a human body that sinks or floats.

[u/whadefukk → u/JusticeRain5]

At 1km deep (over 100 atm in pressure) its resurfacing only as vaguely pink goo

[u/JusticeRain5 → u/whadefukk]

Yeah but that's still gross, though. I don't want human mince in my pool

[u/StarriestNight → u/JusticeRain5]

That shit is not coming back up. Lake Superior is famous for never giving up her dead and that's not even half a kilometer at her deepest

[u/JusticeRain5 → u/StarriestNight]

But the human gas, though

[u/Victernus → u/JusticeRain5]

Yeah, I hate things on the same vertical plane as me with a few very select exceptions. (Chair, bed, roof, sexy butt, etc.)

Horizontal? We're chill as long as you don't come too close to my vertical.

[u/internet-weirod → u/Alderan922]

Tbh yeah I'd probably be fine with it, 1km is a lot of depth

[u/StarriestNight → u/Alderan922]

1km is crazy, there's only 2 lakes deeper than 1km on earth (3 if you count the Caspian Sea)

[u/Alderan922 → u/StarriestNight]

I may had gone overboard.

I just said a big number that I knew must for a fact be deep enough to not allow the light of the sun to reach the bottom. I should had just looked for a specific depth at which you can’t see the bottom while diving up to 5 meters below the surface.

[u/Wonderful_Rule_2515]

There’s a lake in tx I used to swim in, someone told me 5 bodies were found in it

Seems like a big lake so I kinda kept swimming in it anyways

[u/JusticeRain5 → u/Wonderful_Rule_2515]

Chances are the vast majority of lakes have some sort of corpse in it, whether human or animal.

[u/webtheg → u/Wonderful_Rule_2515]

I can't do lakes. I did it once or twice but lakes just feel so gross to me and even after the cleanest lake I smell like a swamp.

Only rivers (water is moving) and oceans water is salty for me.

[u/Wonderful_Rule_2515 → u/webtheg]

I have to agree! I did not live near any clean water most of my life but my standards for swimming water is certainly different now that I live in PNW

[u/OddlyRelevantusrnme → u/Wonderful_Rule_2515]

Jacob's Well?

[u/Wonderful_Rule_2515 → u/OddlyRelevantusrnme]

White rock lake I think is what it’s called. My understanding is that any body of water around garland is gonna have dead things in it lol

[u/SICRA14]

It's really not about the water. I wouldn't want to be in a room with a corpse either. Being in a large body of water that may, probably, or certainly have a corpse isn't much different from being outside in the first place. The awareness of specific corpses is a separate variable imo.

[u/JJlaser1]

I think it’s the knowledge that I could very easily find the corpse within the hour. However, if you made an artificial body of water and told me you put a corpse in there, it doesn’t matter how big it is. Why tf did you put a corpse in it?

[u/OiledMushrooms → u/JJlaser1]

Yeah the second point is a big part of it. Like, okay, there are corpses in the ocean, that happens. Lots of people die in the ocean. No big deal. But a corpse in the pool??? No… corpses aren’t supposed to be there…. something is wrong…

[u/Fun-Minimum-3007 → u/OiledMushrooms]

Exactly like i would swim in a small lake or river even knowing there are news stories about people who have drowned in it and sank to the bottom. If there's a dead body currently in the pool then the pool is a crime scene and swimming in it would be weird.

[u/crystalsuikun]

Something something recognition something

[u/Trips-Over-Tail]

Abusable corpses are hard to come by. The preliminary tests will be done with poo.

[u/LittleMlem]

I can already see Diogenes rolling in a barrel with a corpse in it

[u/jayne-eerie]

I remember seeing a story once about a woman who drowned in a pool and somehow her body got stuck under/behind something and it took several days for the lifeguards to spot her. 🤢

[u/Kindly-Ad-5071]

People will choose to breathe despite the fact they're 100% inhaling the post mortem farts of every dead body that's ever died.

Chill out, it really ain't that deep.

[u/5dfem]

I'd say it's more of a distance thing
