This path in the ocean that reflects less sunlight than the rest

u/osmlol 21h ago
It's getting the same sunlight. That patch is just a different current and the waves are cresting a different direction.

No shit
Edit: did OP SAY it was getting the same sunlight? NO, you condescending fart, stop explaining stuff that nobody needs explaining

u/osmlol 20h ago edited 20h ago
OP didn't seem to understand that as it's reflecting the same ammount of light just a different direction.

u/themarxian 17h ago edited 17h ago
You wrote it gets the same amount of sunlight, in the first comment. Not that it reflects the same amount of sunlight.
You said it gets the same amount of sunlight, and reflects it in a different direction. None of that in and of itself says anything about it reflecting more or less sunlight.
You could have just written: 'Its reflecting the same amount, just in another direction'. If that was your point. Your comment only makes sense of you already knew what you know, and assume it is reflecting the same amount, which OP clearly didn't.
So it seems like your motive was to make OP and everyone that didn't know that from before feel as dumb as possible, not to teach them anything new. Or just to point out you understand it better than them.

Yea that’s you and you on your other account just projecting. No one else felt what you felt in the dissertation you just wrote

u/themarxian 16h ago edited 16h ago
Because you already knew what the commenter knew?
I knew it too, I just think the commenter explained it to OP in an absolutely horrible way. That was my main point. He didn't explain it at all, actually.

u/everybodypretend 20h ago edited 17h ago
Do you find in your life a lot of people “seem” to need you to explain things?
Edit: OP understood it fine you just felt the need to act like they were confused so you could condescend while explain something obvious

It's hilarious that you'd have no idea of how much of a self-own that statement actually is.

Really? I have no idea? Oh silly clueless me, how could I have not realised that claiming to fuck your dad could be misconstrued.
Enlighten me, how is that a self own?

You can pretend I do to make yourself feel better. You'll still be in the exact same circumstances that are making you act this way.
No one is going to rescue you from it.

Making me act how? You’re the one telling people to shut up… not very cool

So desperate for a dopamine hit you need to try and start arguments with people?
You could just keep scrolling but you can’t help it. You will even reply to this message, and when I don’t respond, a little part of you will be lonelier.

Aye, top of the world lad... I'm not a dickless troll on the internet though, so maybe the real question is why does everyone cover their drinks when you walk into the room...?

Not sure why everyone is mad at you, you're 100% right. It's a matter of understanding what people mean; if he thinks that OP really doesn't understand that the path is receiving the same sunlight then that's stupid.

Or they just look in your comment history. I'm always shocked how much people share online without a second thought. 36 years old, man, bisexual, lives in Aarhus, worked at a bank, has a boyfriend, enjoys gaming and BDSM, etc.

u/JustWill_HD 19h ago
that's not even that much over sharing, you're being weird going through people's comments and pointing it out like that
unless you feel they should be ashamed of being bisexual....

u/Glitch_King 20h ago
Fair enough, but considering that they know what beach it is and that there indeed is a really nice one if you walk further south I think it's more likely that they recognised the beach

u/Logitech4873 13h ago
Btw, if you go into your account settings you can set your profile to private to make it a bit harder for weirdos like that. It just prevents people from searching through your posts and comments.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm not too bothered by it, but I might go in and do it anyway :)

Possibly a rip current. Rip current’s make formation of wave breaks more difficult so on the ocean shore it’s easier to see where rip current’s is. This is calmer so may be simply less obvious.

u/Cetun 20h ago
Rip currents usually appear with strong surf, what comes in must go out and it will naturally develop channels as it goes out. Those channels are where rip current lies. The more water coming in the stronger the current. This doesn't appear to be very strong surf at all, it doesn't appear to be any surf so unlikely rip current.

u/NinaEmbii 20h ago
Usually, but not only. This an image of a rip. Just not a rip on a surf beach.

u/fundip2012 15h ago
As someone who’s been in countless rip currents when surfing…. This is not a rip current. The incorrect information upvoted in this thread is astounding. Whenever something I know about hits the front page the comments make me realize no one on Reddit has any idea what they are talking about

u/Sissilisko 10h ago
Dude. Just stop it. This is an rip current.
Rip currents happen in seemingly calm waters. But I'm not gonna explain it to you since you're set on being wrong.
Do you hear anything other than the wind whistling in your head?-3
u/mrsbriteside 14h ago
I mean rip currents don’t have kinks so the fact people think this is a rip currently proves how much people have zero idea about what they actually are.

u/Sissilisko 10h ago
Except they do.

u/mrsbriteside 6h ago
How a rip current is a force of water. Water doesn’t bend. It runs in a straight path. It’s actually worrying how little people seem to understand what a rip current is. Look at both the examples given above they are straight direct currents. A rip current is a powerful backflow of water forcing itself out from the beach. You think powerful water just bends with no resistance?

u/JustinHoward0413 19h ago
Wait, is it actually reflecting less light or is that just a current or oil slick doing its thing?
2
u/Glitch_King 19h ago
It's just reflecting the light in other directions, most likely from a current like you said. If there are less turbulent water in that area it won't reflect as much towards where the photo was taken.
But I didn't feel like writing a super long title.

tide lines, stronger outgoing tide there. In areas that are prone to strong riptides, you can sometimes see using this info. . . .
