    Let’s go to this dangerous fucking territory for our honeymoon despite multiple warnings about momma hippo mega beast who is multiple tons of pure muscle, so much muscle she can’t even float. She’s rearing her cubs and we’re gonna piss her off because I need those Instagram likes, a creature that could fuck up a school bus for funsies and be shocked when it knocks my guts out. Then I’m gunna write an expose about the beauty of nature, my wife tackling it fruitlessly like a gnat fighting a honey badger, and this was totally unexpected/expected situation. Gods these people are stupid.

      There is no mention of social media, being shocked other than actual medical shock, exposé’. Very little mention of beauty of nature, no multiple warnings. The wife part of the story doesn’t seem all that unlikely if she did indeed hit it and it did indeed drop him. It may have been going to happen the samr way without her but who is to know, maybe the hippo realised two threats would endanger the cubs and retreated to protect them.

      Comments like these are just captain hindsight iamverysmart territory. Humans have looked to be close and explore nature since time began, before instagram but you got yourself so upset you created a new narrative.
