If you’re not ready to fight an alligator over your best friend dont even think about coming to Florida
Apex predators
Yooooo
Florida culture is living in a real life Jurassic park yet being more scared of the local people
TBF, you would be too if you’d ever met Florida Man
Hopefully this doesn’t burst anybody’s bubbles, but the video’s fake (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-man-save-friend-from-reptilian-attack/)
Now, by fake I mean: the alligator wasn’t real, it was put there as a prank by some Youtubers, to record people’s reactions. So the guy a) survived, and b) reacted as he would (AKA: fought a fucking alligator to save his friend) had it been real, because neither of them knew it wasn’t.
To quote Snopes: It appears that the “elbow drop” move was actually a real, good-faith, and quite courageous response to an uncomfortably realistic and relatively low-effort prank
Ok but like…. that still doesn’t change the fact that this absolute legend genuinely thought an alligator was about to eat his friend and he ELBOW DROPPED the fucking thing to save him!!!! That’s some true ass friendship right there
No people or animals got hurt, guy got to try and elbow drop an alligator, and his friend got to find out just how ride or die his friend is. As far as I’m concerned this makes the whole thing better.
I would totally do this for a friend. Without a second thought. My definition of friend goes beyond what people claim are theirs nowadays. If you think about an actual friend is there for you through everything. Has seen u at your best and helped to keep you motivated when you hit rock bottom. That’s why I don’t call someone:
I met two seconds ago
that likes my post
That lived in the same city or happened to go to the same School I did
Guy that always happens to be in the elevator or hallway the same time I am
Guy that sucked my dick or I sucked theirs
My fucking friend
To Quote one of my actual friends, one that pisses me the fuck off all the time(I’m sure the feeling is mutual), “nine times out of ten” those people would watch u fall and use you as a stepping stone to get themselves to a better place while forgetting u, laugh at your failures and envy the fuck out of your success.
Side topic that friend I quoted says that same statistic every time he tries to make a point and to this day no one knows his source/s he pulls this data from… I choose to love him any way
Next side topic. EVERY LAST MOTHER FUCKER THAT reads this posts and can do nothing more than correct the grammar are 9 times out of 10 the same fucking fake friends I’m having this Peter Griffen grinds my gears moment over.
I said this out of anger but the point of it is that I wish people actually knew what friendship was because your family is kinda stuck with u while your friends are those that stick around when they have no reason to. Friends are in a lot of ways the family that chooses its members and actually loyalty to someone that has no genetic ties to yourself is a love that can’t be given to everyone that says hi to u and it can never be taken away by anyone so fuck the grammar police and Fuck all the fake ass friends of the world
