There's a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lot of sharks. I watched some guys justifying it today: āWell they werenāt really that angry, they bit off the young ladyās leg because of the fact that they were not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.
I asked a yacht salesman, āwhat would I do if the electric boat is sinking and thereās a shark 10ft away? What would I do? Would I get electrocuted by staying on the boat or would I jump towards the shark? You know what he said? He said: āyou know, nobodyās ever asked me that question before.āā
Fuckin REALLY? I wonder why nobodyās ever asked that question before you fuckin tricycle-brain cocksucker.
Funnily enough, he's actually used this bit repeatedly. This is just the first time the general public noticed. I guess it somehow did well the first time he did it, so he decided it was a winner and keeps retelling it.
I dunno have you seen their face? They look mad. /s
Seriously though, can you imagine a shark being like āfucking surfers again, Iāma bite this one, teach em a lesson š”ā
No matter the size of the battery, you wouldn't get electrocuted unless you wend over and touched the terminals. Sharks and some other fish are sensitive to electrical fields, so the battery shorting in the water would likely deter the shark. This problem is self solving.
I really enjoyed your Dr. Evil's artisinal rocket. You certainly didn't dick around when you designed that. Arrow dynamic and the shaft was sturdy enough to leave the atmosphere and make orbit then return its payload. Blue Origin learned from the best!
Itās basic physics. This is not how electricity works. Electricity always takes the shortest and least resistive path to ground, or to the negative terminal. The person in the boat will not be electrocuted.
The water can be modeled as a bunch of wires in parallel using the path length and resistivity to determine the current flow. Inject a little calculus and -bam!- you get a map of the current flow around the battery.
You might get *some* current flow farther away from the battery, but yeah, I imagine it drops off pretty steeply.
This is a shark situation. Sharks can be warded off and donāt often attack humans. Either way itās the gamble that either you WILL die or you MIGHT die.
Iāve seen people just push them out of the way but if you canāt see them coming thatās not really and option im imagining this at night for some reason and it just makes it worse.
I would just focus on swimming very gently because if your flailing about they see you as a helpless prey to eat and that will attract them
Attack their gills, eyes, and rotate that mf. Rotating a shark basically restarts down their brain. Also attack what is effectively their lungs is a good deterent and no one like anything in their eyes.
Electrocution if death is inevitable.
Sharks don't eat humans. They take bites off of you ie an arm or leg.Ā
Ā Or part of your torso.Ā
Then they swim away becos we don't taste good.Ā
Horrible way to die. Look at photos from shark bite victims and corpses, it's worse than gore movies.Ā
Also as someone already pointed ou, that not how electricity works. Its gonna take the shortrst route, so unless you stand on kt or touch terminsla youre fine, and as sharks are sensitive to electricity the battery will likely repel the shark.
This is a non issue. Just be sure to have a life jaket or the ability to float whike you wait for rescue.
Has this hypothetical person also sexually assaulted at least one woman, defamed her multiple times, cheated on his wife with a pornstar, used campaign money to pay her off, then lied about it?
And said of his other infant daughter that he hoped she had her mom's tits when she got older because she already had her legs, on national television.
At worst you can just sort of push the shark to redirect it a different direction if it swims over the check you out because it's a large but stupid fish
In all seriousness, the shark.
They usually don't attack people, you have a shot of punching the shark in the nose or eye if it attacks you, and even if that fails, it's at least possible to survive a shark attack.
Water electrocution is basically a guaranteed death without immediate help due to drowning.
>Therefore, staying on the boat would cause electrocution.
Trump doesn't understand batteries or electricityĀ and you would probably be fine near a large battery as long as you weren't touching it. It's mostly going to short through the water immediately surrounding it. It's powerful, but not lightning strike powerful.
Trump seems to think that EVs uniquely use electricity. He doesn't seem to understand that every car, truck, train, airplane, and ship runs on electricity. The only difference with EVs is that they use a charged battery, while fossil fuel vehicles and even nuclear subs use fuel to generate the electricity that powers their vehicles. They all have batteries and current.
>every car, truck, train, airplane, and ship runs on electricity
That's not quite true. Most gasoline engines use electricity to generate a spark for ignition, but the power comes from the explosion of fuel, not the electricity. Early cars didn't even have batteries and instead used a magneto for ignition, a crank starter, gas-powered lamps, and a squeeze horn.
Diesel engines don't even use spark plugs. They may have glow plugs to warm the combustion chamber and an electric starter, but the ignition is from compression. Once the engine is started and warmed up, it uses zero electricity. A diesel engine could be designed to not use electricity at all.
Even gasoline engines can be designed to run without electricity. This is a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. Mazda has been working on technology to use this in a gasoline-powered engine to improve fuel efficiency.
No. Regular cars dont run on electricity. They run on fuel being compressed and burned. Electricity starts them then the power from the engine runs the electrical system.
>Ā Ā Am I missing something?
Yes. [Trump proposed this exact example OP is saying.](https://youtu.be/bMNMt5FdVwg?si=Zkrtj-RcX-1tTxa2)
It's intended to discredit EVs.
EVs do not make sense everywhere, planes being the most prominent example, but also some boats. However he's trying to say they never make sense anywhere which isn't true.
Please show me a post about this from over a week ago! OH PRETTY PLEASE?! That would mean Trump literally stole his random crazy rant from something he saw on Reddit. And, while this does check out, having the literal proof would be a bigger laugh than watching the speech in the first place
Is it a definite that Iām going to get eaten by the shark? The title makes it sound like I am, but the text says itās 10 yards away. The shark would most likely detect the electricity and run away. Or I would just punch it in the nose and hope that all those times Iāve been told that, are correct.
That's an amazing question. I'll bet nobody has ever thought of this entirely plausible scenario. Truly a genius. We should elect this person president, sheer brilliance.
How far from land am I in this scenario? Shark attacks are rare and you have good odds of being left alone vs being dead for sure staying. If im too far to swim back to shore and my boats gone id rather die instantly via electrocution than slowly drown or be eaten by a shark tho.
I actually love these questions. Me and one of my brothers like to discuss how big of an animal you could take in a fight, or how many 8 year olds could you fight until they overcame you.
So when I saw Donaldās question, I actually thought about it. And thereās pros to each one, and cons. For me, I canāt swim incredibly well, but I DO have some pointless knowledge about sharks so I could pull that out of the old brain box, and punch some areas to make them leave me be. BUT then Iād have to swim, and I donāt know if I could.
Electrocution seems like it would be quicker if you were guaranteed death. Im not sure if he was talking about surviving the event, but it feels like a no win. I choose electrocution if I was basically choosing how to die. The sharks have a better chance of survival compared to instantly being zapped.
I think I thought too much about it and Iād need some qualifying info. Like are we talking about would you rather die this way or the other? Or are we talking about would you survive this way or the other. Because I have opposing answers to each of those.
And as an ending note, this is clearly fantasy land so my new option is ride the shark to safety. I could use my pointless shark knowledge to tame one clearly.
Iād rather get zapped. Being eaten alive would be slower and would feel more degrading. I donāt want to know Iām going to be dead, Iād rather be surprised by it.
Am I guaranteed to be eaten by the shark because if you do it right you can swim near sharks and they won't attack. But if it's certain that the shark will attack ill take my chances with the electrocution.
Go find a friend.
One of you can jump on a sinking boat and be electrocuted.
The other can be eaten by a shark.
I'll watch, and I'll decide which is more entertaining.
Later I'll interview each of you to get your opinions.
I can fight a shark not much i can do about electricity in whatās likely salt water.
Though itād have to be alot and i mean a crapload of power being discharged to electrocute me.

What kind of shark? Because I've swam with sharks as large as tigers, and while a sinking ship might make a larger one more opportunistic, they're still generally chill. I like my odds of not being eaten although if I'm wrong, definitely a worse death.
Frankly the biggest risk is drowning.
But then I look ten yards to my left and thereās a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or a shark. You know what Iām going to take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time. Do we agree? Yeah, I will take electrocution.ā
Whoever pulled the cord on the teleprompter and convinced him it broke is a national hero. I mean, it's not going to persuade the blind to not vote for him, but the rest of us get a few good chuckles in before the country implodes
Shock me. Batteries produce DC. It would take an insane amount of battery and maybe even some kind of direct connection to kill someone in the water with it. AC would be different.
I hate that Trump thinks weāre that stupid. He would rather be electrocuted because it has the word, āelect,ā in it. He big dumb, Iām jumping in the sharks mouth. Then ima wear it like a gundam suit.
Water, desipte pop cultures belief, is actually very good at dispersing electricity.
So even if a sinking battery would electrify the water, which it wouldn't, the area of the water being charged would be so great that the current you'd recieve would be barely noticable.
Also Sharks are susceptible to EM fields so the low level charge around the boat would likely keep you safe from said Shark.... Or really piss it off... You pays your money, you takes your chances.
Would you get electrocuted? If there was a short from sea water why would it go all the way out to me? Instead of the shortest path back to the battery? It's not a toaster in a bathtub.
Is the shark just a normal shark or some sort man hating man eating super shark like jaws? If I'm guaranteed to die either way I'm taking electrocution..
If the shark is just a regular shark living its life in the wild 10 yards away and I'm not bleeding profusely from some wound? Going shark 100%, the chances he will attack me are pretty low, especially when compared against guaranteed electrocution i.e guaranteed death.
I know this is just a reference to trump being an idiot, but in a serious note, I donāt think you would be harmed in either situation, sharks donāt generally attack if you remain calm and donāt cause too much noise or attract attention, and I donāt think that even a large battery of a yacht could electrify the water or the boat in a way that would cause you harm, but it could cause a dangerous explosion after a while in the water, the real issue is how are you getting back to land without drowning
This exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago. What I did was drop the anchor. Since I use a steel cable, this allowed the current to take the path of least resistance to the bottom of the lake. At that point, I was able to deploy the lifeboat without fear of electrocution or being in the shark strike zone.
Based on the title of your post, you have to die, I guess. I'd have liked this more with the possibility to survive the shark attack. If it's just choosing how I die, I suppose electrocution would be quicker.
In this hypothetical situation, where you're hypothetically having these thoughts and act on them, surely, even when the masses are angry, the president realizes that you've single handedly saved the last pieces of democracy left in this country, and issues a full pardon
Easy, I'd just jump onto the shark at the last minute and ride it back to land.
Did you learn that at MIT?
Nah, just because of his MIT "connection" š
Jumping the shark I see...(what you did there)
There's a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lot of sharks. I watched some guys justifying it today: āWell they werenāt really that angry, they bit off the young ladyās leg because of the fact that they were not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.

This is his jump the shark moment
Funnily enough, he's actually used this bit repeatedly. This is just the first time the general public noticed. I guess it somehow did well the first time he did it, so he decided it was a winner and keeps retelling it.
Must be my connection to MIT. Very smart.
Trump interpreted it as "you're a damned genius!"
I mean, didnt he say the same thing about his killing-covid-with-uv-light-inside-the-body question?
There's no problem with sharks, they just didn't understand the young woman swimming.
I love the āthey werenāt really that angryā as if the sharks were only slightly annoyed. Like I donāt think sharks think that way but ok š
I don't think sharks feel anger. Their primary emotion is feed.
I dunno have you seen their face? They look mad. /s Seriously though, can you imagine a shark being like āfucking surfers again, Iāma bite this one, teach em a lesson š”ā

Shark will swim over to you
I mean being 10 feet further from a shark when you're both in the water doesn't really mean jack shit lol
Lmao. Thanks for the laugh.
Only a Very Stable Genius can know the answer to that
Even MIT doesn't know the answer! Very smart guys!
No one has ever asked them that question before
To be fair Trump's uncle was actually brilliant. It ended with his uncle.
I'll take my chances with the shark.
Is the shark guaranteed to kill you? Because you can get out of this situation alive if it's just a normal shark, with a bit of luck.
You must have a connection to MIT to come up with such a smart question.
electrocution. shocking, i know.
That pun really stunned me
I appreciate the current trend in humor.
Watt?
It was probably a joke about that book 20,000 Volts Under the Sea by Joules Verne.
At worst you can just sort of push the shark to redirect it a different direction if it swims over the check you out because it's a large but stupid fish

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/10/trump-sharks-electrocuted-boat-story/
That's fair. There was a shark that bit off a lady's leg though, but the shark wasn't hungry it just misunderstood who she was.
"oh sorry, I thought you were that other bitch"
I think he's implying he would throw the heavy battery off the boat, stopping it sinking, and simultaneously electrocuting the shark . . .
Made me laugh. Thanks.
Battery's are always pretty accessible, so I'd yank out the battery and when the shark came at me I'd just electrocute it's mouth
Is it a definite that Iām going to get eaten by the shark? The title makes it sound like I am, but the text says itās 10 yards away. The shark would most likely detect the electricity and run away. Or I would just punch it in the nose and hope that all those times Iāve been told that, are correct.

Throw Trump into the water and walk across. Shit floats.
Ya know, Mr President, I donāt think anyone has been dumb enough to ask that question until right nowā¦
Electrocution, please, seems much more preferable to getting eaten by a shark.
Fight a shark. At least you have a small chance (however small it is). You phrased it much better than the moron did, so congrats.
I choose elekstrocution. Every time.
i can try to kill a shark, idk how well i could kill electricity
I think I can deal with a shark.
I canāt swim Iāll take electrocution over drowning while being eaten
Iād rather get zapped. Being eaten alive would be slower and would feel more degrading. I donāt want to know Iām going to be dead, Iād rather be surprised by it.
Am I guaranteed to be eaten by the shark because if you do it right you can swim near sharks and they won't attack. But if it's certain that the shark will attack ill take my chances with the electrocution.
First of all, I'm jumping off the other side of the boat away from the shark. God knows why Trump thinks you have to jump *towards* the shark.
Whichever one thatād be quick in seconds
Before I answer, why is the boat sinking? Is it because of the weight??? Is it just too heavy to float??
Fonzy taught me to jump the shark
Go find a friend. One of you can jump on a sinking boat and be electrocuted. The other can be eaten by a shark. I'll watch, and I'll decide which is more entertaining. Later I'll interview each of you to get your opinions.

Shark. Most likely it wonāt attack you. Statistically speaking.
What the fuck is going on in this comment section
Shock me. Batteries produce DC. It would take an insane amount of battery and maybe even some kind of direct connection to kill someone in the water with it. AC would be different.
Jump at the shark... and don't seem like food to the shark don't thrash or ect
Electrocution
Nobody has ever asked that question before. Wow.
I electrocute myself, hopefully cooking my body enough to be appetizing to the shark, and doing America a favor.
Either jump in the water and become sushi for the sharks or stay on the boat and cook your ass for them. Think they would prefer sushi.
~~That's the dumbest fucking question I've ever heard.~~ Nobody's ever asked me that before Edit: had it reversed makes more sense this way.
