Corpse size has a lot to do with it. I wouldn’t swim in even a large pool with a dead human in it (knowingly), but one dead fish or rodent or dozens of dead tadpoles or bugs? Not an issue.
Heck, most household swimming pools have dozens of dead bodies in them, but they’re 99% insects.
Now what if it’s a severed human head?
Hard no, leaking is gross.
What if the head was laminated after it was severed?
How exactly do you propose to laminate a severed head??
I don’t know, I’m just the ideas guy.
What about a dead baby?
Dead babies don’t care how many bodies there are.
Ah, the old Lemmy switcheroo!
The salt water helps.
There’s also a water-to-corpse ratio that helps.
You are a little soul carrying about a corpse.
–Some Roman guy paraphrasing some Greek guy.
It’s less that there’s a specific ratio of corpse:water but whether the corpses have been turned into fish poop yet.
Similar to the water:piss ratio regarding (US?) swimming pools, insofar as the knowledge that the “nostalgic” smell of swimming pools is not the comforting presence of chlorine so many believe it to be, and is in fact the confirmation of a volume of piss in the water that is rapidly nearing the extent of said chlorine’s capacity to neutralize (sapped also by ceaseless sunshine & innumerable contaminants hitching rides on patrons’ oblivious meatsacs).
In short: if you smell “pool”, someone(s) have pissed in it. A lot.
Chlorine reacts with a lot more than piss and you should be far more concerned if you don’t smell it.
Good tip, though the water:piss ratio still stands.
Agreed, I take showers in the morning but sometimes I’ll end the night with a really hot bath, it helps my body not hurt in the morning if I’ve been working hard that day. I will take a piss before I get in the tub but I’ll be damned if I don’t almost always pee some while I’m laying in the tub relaxing. It’s never seemed to be anything to give a shit about to me but some people do seem hyper sensitive to that kind of thing. My partner and I have peed while in the bathtub together before and it didn’t gross either of us out. Maybe it would be more gross if our urine was dark yellow or more noticeable beyond feeling the warmth for less than a minute.
Nope, too much piss. Also, “peed while in the bathtub together” is a bit too far, and that’s not even including possible eye contact. To illustrate: what simple thing makes eating a banana in public creepy/hot? Eye contact. You do you, but stay outta my tub.
There are molecules of human shit in every pool and they get into your mouth. The density is just not enough to feel the taste or become ill
That old guy swimming in front of you probably forgot to wipe or wash his ass so the density is getting close to detectable sometimes
As they say the dose makes the poison. See ya at the pool
Thus, chlorination.
Lots of various kinds of poops on the ocean too…
The density is just not enough to feel the taste or become ill
the chlorine is a pretty important factor, at least in the not becoming ill department
Cmon don’t ruin it, I bet someone will skip their pool today
This is like eating bugs. Everyone eats bugs all the time, it is awareness of the bugs and bug to food ratio that tends to cause hesitation.
You leave it in there long enough it might get cloudy enough for you not to see it.
Dilution is the solution to this pollution
