I’ve never seen quicksand like in the movies but have dealt with a lot of quicksand while working for my dad when I was younger, seems like entire town of Zwolle sits on quicksand that is just below the surface

There have been several guys now show that the old thought of piranha just eating anything in the river the second it gets in is false.

Multiple video explanations of guys putting their legs in a piranha tank and showing that they don’t react like that

Dude just crawled in with a bunch of them and they didn’t care?

Piranhas and quicksand were two of 8 year-old me’s biggest fears. Turns out I should have been worried about LBJ.

True. I've never seen piranhas looting stores.
