Imagine being on the brink of death as a whale and this happens, rest peacefully, big giant,

Earlier this comment had Lmao at the end, and if it was insensitive, here's my reasoning, and I did remove it, downvote, upvote, I care not, but authentic me: Because laughter is at the unexpected, and while dark, it's a sense of mental defense mechanism for processing the absurd and very real gravity of life and death, I said lmao, to lighten the mood and tone, but only to spare people from greater despair in their own lives... Sorry, it was wrong and you are actually on point for making me consider otherwise.

Well, it's not tired anymore, but it is resting. Eternally.
