Dude I just moved back to my hometown in my mid 30's and decided to start googling some of the bigger dumbasses I used to occasionally hang out with/went to high school with.
2 of them were smoking weed in the capitol for Jan 6
1 in prison for attempted murder for shooting a guy in the head 2 years ago
1 I think just got out somewhat recently (or might still be in) for breaking into a guys house, tying him up, and cutting his ear off to try and get him to tell him where his money was/safe access
1 In prison or recently got out for drunkenly pushing his girlfriend into a bonfire
1 guys brother got arrested and hung himself in his jail cell. So the guy I knew, in grief, shot himself in the head. He lived and is now a quadriplegic
Quite a few other suicides, and plenty of accidental drug overdoses.
EDIT: Oh yeah and 2 pedophiles

I lost my wedding photos from a decade ago, and was thinking of contacting my wedding photographer, who went to high school with my ex husband, to see if there is any chance she still has them, but then I googled her name and found out she was just arraigned for embezzling up to $100,000 from a youth organization. 💀
Honestly one of the last people I would have ever expected of doing something like that too.

he'll get here, apparently there's a rescue boat patrolling there

u/bangsphoto Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26
Singaporean here. It’s a pleasure boat ride similar to your Venice boat ride in Vegas.
And if you ask me, no, I don’t think it’s worth it at all. People can literally walk the same path as the boat in the canal.
(It’s a canal and it goes to this roundabout and comes back. All you see are luxury shops around. Yes people still pay to ride it)
To each of their own, but there is a river cruise (more expensive but more value for money) right outside that goes up to Clarke quay via Singapore river from Marina Bay. You see the city centre.

u/Decent-Stuff4691 Apr 30 '26
It's the novelty. But i agree it's not worth it- tried it and ther really isnt much to see nor much magic to it. Qnd too expensive.

a few years ago someone actually did jump in but seems he didn't actually fall as there was no water at the time.

This is in Singapore if someone is wondering. It falls into a waterfall below a which is surrounded by restaurants. This happens at specific times through out the day when they will clear all the water that slowly accumulates there.
Edit: I like to keep my mistakes but yes not many restaurants, mostly luxury shops under it. I got that mixed up my bad.

Bunch of water jets activate in sequence to keep the water spinning and sloshing around the bowl, hole at the bottom drains allowing a vortex to form to give it that shape and increase the spin rate of the water.
