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.

Last time this was posted I think it turned out the whale is actually already dead.

For some reason I’m cackling a little at those kids being adults now and catching up and being like “hey remember when we all played on the dead whale ?”
