lol the panic short circuits everything. The right thing obviously is to let go quickly and she knows that.

I especially like the fear and joy her friend experiences watching her friend hang like that.

Shimmy to the left and stay dry on the wooden plank, or climbing up.

I think they'd struggle to put her in the boat if she escaped but water is my kryptonite so that was worst case scenario for me haha

Genius at work. But mostly harmless consequences. I love it.

It's great how she's trying to run in the water lol 🤣

did this happen in Giethoorn? the environment reminds me of it.

Looks to be.

You have to respect her arm strength - I would fall down long before she did.

I would've gone to the left a little and step on the barrier. But i can lift my own body rather easily.

Hmmm, after some quick googling, it looks like it could be a client side issue. I'm getting a 400 Bad Request ngix error. I tried clearing my cache and loading it in a private window to no avail. I'm on Firefox.

The other gifs from gifer.com work fine, so I'd say it's not a big issue. Just kinda strange.

I have definitely seen some weirdness with lemmy and gifs before. Hopefully they'll sort it all out soon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yes, turn the motor towards her...

tbf this is exactly the kind of thing I'd have done when I was young. Just to be dumb. lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah. I would've done stuff like that too. But it is still dumb.
