    To be fair, though, human sex is way better than mermaid sex.

    Watching some guy fertilize your eggs after you lay them … it just isn’t the same, you know?

        Nah, mermaid be half-fish, not half-dolphin. Dolphins don’t have scales.

        Though if it were half-dolphin mermaid… Then, yeah. I’d agree. By all accounts, dolphin sex is fantastic.

        (And, yes, I’m also ignoring that not all fish do the ‘lay eggs and then fertilize them externally’ thing. Some fish actually do have actual intercourse for internal fertilization, using all the bits you’re familiar with to do it. Except that the males have two of them, for double the fun.)

          Another point is that most depictions of merfolk have their tails be horizontal (like a whale or dolphin), as opposed to vertical (like a shark or fish), which could indicate a combination of fish and dolphin. Scales, but horizontal tail 🤔

      Give her a break! She’s 14 years old, and as we all know…teenagers are IDIOTS!

      I mean, so are most people, but even the smart adults were once idiot teenagers.

        “idiots” oh you mean when your body is being flooded with hormones and your bones and flesh are literally expanding like a dinosaur pill in water. I wonder if theres some… sort of scientific event that could explain their sometimes emotional actions instead of “dumbness”

          Ok. If you want to blame it on puberty, I never said when people start and stop being idiots.

          They start being idiots the moment they’re born, and most don’t stop being idiots until AT LEAST age 30.

          In fact I’d say 18-24 are usually dumber than 5 year olds, and piss their pants more often.

    Mermaids are famously delusional about the lives of humans.

    Oh, it’s all fun and games until the next oil spill, or off shore drilling accident, or they start dumping garbage on you.

    Little mermaid girl is going to end up gagging on industrial pollution and toxic algae blooms. That’s assuming she doesn’t starve because of depleted fisheries.

    Meanwhile the one on land is eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew.

    Come to think of it, those are a lot like gagging on toxic waste. So I guess it all evens out.
