just drop kicked someone

 

Are they ok?

 

Maybe the best movie that was ultimately bad for the world.

 

what

 

It really changed the way people think about sharks. The population of great white sharks declined dramatically from hunting and wasteful killing.

 

ok sorry I thought you were gonna say something weird about blockbuster films

that's on me

 

Well, it did create the summer blockbuster and everything that comes with that, but the shark part is more important.

 

Did Jaws affect people that live in places like Wisconsin the same way as those of us on the coast? I have lived near the beach my entire life and I almost never go further in the water than I can stand. I went on a snorkeling trip a few years ago and got back in the boat early.

 

In Illinois and feel like I got a good amount of shark fear from culture, though probably more the Shark Week shows than Jaws specifically.

 

I can’t say it’s Jaws’ fault but I am the same way in the ocean haha. If I can’t stand I am falling back

 

I'm built different I assume I'll befriend a turtle

 

People who don’t live near the ocean can still have a fear of sharks, yes

 

can't fear a shark if you also fear the ocean am i right

 

I don’t enjoy ocean swimming, or any swimming unless I can see to the lake or ocean floor. I did snorkel off the coast of Hawaii and although it was probably 20 feet deep, I could see all the way down. It was super clear.

 

Still got to watch out for toilet sharks

 

I saw Jaws for the first time only a few years ago and before then I didn't have a fear of water, or more specifically, sharks in the water. I'd go to the beach and it wouldn't cross my mind. I'd be more concerned about drowning or being taken away by the current. I think I understood the chances of being attacked by a shark were actually relatively low
