Welcome to Summertime at Death is Everything! We know the living isn’t as easy as it should be with record temperatures and scorching heatwaves throughout the world. There’s a good chance you’re headed to the beach for some aquatic escape, so let us relieve you of a common fear: you are almost certainly not going to be attacked or killed by a shark. You know, big ‘ol toothy sea creature, legendary finned menace known for its insatiable hunger? We’re here to set the record straight and seek justice for this oft-maligned but still imposing water-bound marvel! Gasp as we highlight the countless ways you are more likely to die than by a shark attack, both common and patently absurd. We commit an act of public service by listing a few potentially life saving tips for when you do go for a swim. Then, with your fears assuaged, we’ll reveal some of the atrocities that have been committed in the name of Sharkdom. Can’t let the shark street cred fade completely, can we? Enjoy!
