Sharks don't look back, cause they don't have necks. Necks are for sheep

Is this one of those things that are meant to sound deep and profound by inventing terminology, but isn't? That's such a like day 2 person thing to do.

(Actually don't know if I used day 2 correctly, feels a bit like trying to use skibidi ohio in a sentence)

Day 2 is like Switzerland---small and neutral. Day 1 is like Germany---ambitious and misunderstood.

Had completely forgotten that futurama bit: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FvrcvPNpdd8

Which is the one people like to hug?

Sharks eat sheep?

Weirdly, someone checked: https://whitesharkdivers.co.za/02/shark-facts/food-sources-o...

No, great white sharks do not eat sheep. They will eat pigs.

Shark eats sheep, sheep clothes fisherman, fisherman kills shark. It's a new rock, paper, scissors.

I hope the shark thing isn’t said in earnest ever by anyone. It is the height of parody of a hustle culture bro. On second thought would you want $1 million now or $5000 a day and the guy says neither because that’s not how you build wealth or something. It’s probably number one.

The shark line is a quote from Futurama in an episode where an 80s corporate raider takes over Planet Express.
