I got a CR2035 watch battery on my tongue once. It felt funny. Like tasting metal with added sharpness. Don't ask.

I lack painful experiences due to the fact that I think first before I act.

I have never licked a battery, pulled/pushed an electric trap (pen, handshake, bubblegum), etc.

I believe you punch their gills.

dealing with sharks in the water is a very bad situation
they're made for effective swimming and you can never swim as fast

and even if you kept off the shark, 90% chance ur gonna lose something
It swims at you and then rip something off
swallow
repeat

And while we're on sharks, the cat played some 3d platformers with sharks as the enemy
they ALWAYS catch you

I also watched Mythbusters where they proved that the human body cannot damage a shark underwater. Even when targeting the gill or snout.

Unless you literally use your finger nails to gouge their eyes out by prodding and clawing and digging.

Basically, its a battle between the shark trying to rip open your body, and you trying to rip open its eyes.

You'll probably lose.

not to mention humans have too much friction when moving in the water.

lol, did that when I was a baby, I r smrt now. Those electric traps are pretty annoying, but they can easily be distinguished if you look. If it's a pen, click it with an eraser. If the tip doesn't come out, then complain. For the gum, take it if the wrapper is any color but silver, if it's silver, request a piece first. Handshakes...tricky, but I guess you can avoid anyone with a wristband. Or brofist.

Most people take at least a second or two to respond to a handshake gesture by reaching out their own hands.

This is always enough time to take a glance at their hands.

I would die (since I can't swim in the first place), but the battery thing sounds like a cool idea.

Though, if I survive the initial shark attack, the blood will attract other sharks.
