Australian man and his dog rescued by Mexican tuna boat after drifting 3 months in the Pacific Ocean
This reminds me of the life of pie
Jesus. That’s just so unimaginable. How many times he must have admitted defeat and resigned himself to death through that period.
How many times did the thought, when do I need to eat the dog cross his mind? Awesome they both made it alive!
I don't think it crossed his mind a lot. Dogs don't deal with starvation nearly as good as humans do. Things already get life-threatening for them after 5-7 days with no food. Humans can go 10x as much. So the fact the dog made it 3 months means they had somewhat regular access to food.
If you add that the companionship the dog gave was probably invaluable. And keeping down raw dog meat is another level from raw fish. I don't think eating the dog was much on his mind.
Water, sun, and drowning were probably a much bigger threat on their lives than starvation.
I haven’t thought about this. Do you think if he thought about it, he’s feeling guilty now?
Fuck. No one would about this won't he.
I can't speak for him. But, as someone who has had a dog as a family member, that dog may have made the psychological difference. Whole, "If not for me, then for this dog that is counting on me."
I wonder how they survived. And that the pup looks quiet healthy.
Rain water and raw fish... Dudes a friggin champ
True blue battler!
Wow amazing, I'm glad they both make it fine.
I don't mean this as snarky, but maybe someone here can answer this for me. He lost his electronics in a storm. He was on a sailboat that still had a mast. From the videos I have seen there were some tarps (and maybe sails) still on board. He knew he was Southwest of the continent because that is the direction he was traveling when the storm rolled up. Why not use the sun for direction, hang up what he had to catch wind, and sail roughly North East until he hit land? There is no way he could have missed all of the Americas from where he was at.
Amp links are a threat to the free and open internet, it's better not to use them.
Reddit has u/amputatorbot , which converts Amp links. I wonder if a similar bot would work here?
Christian from Apollo made this app (Amplosion) to help with that:

Please link to an explanation of amp links, I'm not sure what they are
i gotchu fam
Is this a good add on to block them?
PSA: Buy a $30 thin client from eBay. Install Ubuntu (or your distro of choice), then install and set up pi hole, then use premade ad lists to block amp links (and whatever else you want).
Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?
…surely there’s easier way to block amp links?
