Getting leeches on your balls kinda sucks. On one hand you want to rip them off but on the other hand you are lonely and it's been a while since anything's touched them. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Hey, we’re not judging. You do you.

Nasty insects, nasty animals, nasty diseases, nasty humidity. Yeah go on mate, tell us how cool swamps are
FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 7 months ago
But swamps are cool, but you’re also very right they’re gross and I would much rather observe from afar or from a picture
dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
While swamps are “gross” they are actually the cleanest things in nature on the other hand.
Wetlands are massive water quality processors, they are the opposite of dirty or gross, though I completely understand that feeling that stomping through thick mud is gross.

Volcanoes are cool too but I’m not gonna take a dip in one

Shrek lived in a swamp and I trust his taste
Noodle07@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Can’t argue with that 🤷
AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 7 months ago
There’s a reason swamps are portrayed that way. They’re generally unpleasant to be in for a variety of reasons. Just like being in a cold, dark, wet cave full of spider webs.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
And being dangerous or unpleasant doesn’t make those places devoid of beauty!

Swamps are good, but as a Pacific-Northwesterner I prefer my wetlands in the form of a marshes and fens. I’d love a good bog though.
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Me, an intellectual: swamps are beautiful and wonderful because they can be tapped for one black mana.

Could not be happier for you. I’m afraid of snapping turtles and the like, but if I weren’t a little bitch I would jump in

This guy is so cool. Really sees the beauty of Florida.
roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Florida is beautiful. It’s a damn shame about the culture that’s developed there.
RBWells@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I live here and it’s fine in the cities, they just have us gerrymandered to shit. And yes, I grew up here and never saw the beauty until I left for awhile and came back.

I mean yeah they’re pretty but you’re still gonna get dysentery, cholera, E. Coli, and 3-5 undiscovered parasites

Clyde Butcher is one of the greatest American landscape photographers since Ansel Adams and a true hero of modern naturalism. Not only does he hike out into the swamp under conditions that would make most here wilt like cotton candy in the rain (see other comments), he often does it with camera equipment that is ancient, heavy, and bulky by today’s standards.
The biggest danger in the Everglades isn’t leeches (not at all common), brain eating amoebas (just keep your head above water), snakes (most would rather just slither away), snapping turtles (only aggressive when trapped), or gators (generally slow, predictable, dumb, and avoidable); it’s ignorance. The swamp isn’t a place into which you’d want to be dropped off unprepared and unequipped, but neither is LA of New York City.
Clive Butcher also did a landscape photography series of Salvador Dali’s home town that really opened my eyes about the scenes and settings in many of Dali’s paintings. It becomes clear that although surreal, many of the landscapes in Dali’s paintings are actually surprisingly real places painted literally but adorned with surreal characters and objects.
Clive Butcher walks the line between tough man and sensitive artist, cottage-core and goblin-core, Lorax and Crocodile Dundee.

blew my mind when I first learned how useful bogs used to be for living off the land. preserves food and wood, tans leather, gives you fuel, great for foraging, etc
like where else can you find thousands of year old butter that is perfectly good to eat?

all primordial butter has been created in the big bang. Butter can not be created nor destroyed only transformed into new forms of butter

Is this a ‘drain the swamp’ refferance?

Seems like this went over everybody’s head, but it was a quality joke.

All of my knowledge on bayous comes from hunt:showdown and my future decisions regarding waterlogged terrain will be based on an acute expectation of demonic incursion.

Fish poop in all the places they live.

Lepsea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I was wondering if I would find this in lemmy because I found it in almost every post on Instagram that is similar to the photo.
I understand the fear but you’re more likely to die from drowning in the swamp than from flesh eating bacteria and brain eating amoeba
