Yup
I hated those games cause I thought they were rigged.
I don't like those claw game machines
Claw machines are 100% rigged
Until I was class president and I got to rig the game to give a cupcake to the girl I had a crush on. Then I loved the game.
PFFT
Big mood
that girl learnt a very valuable lesson that day
There was also a game where you through a ball in a bowl and you won a goldfish
Never heard of that one.
I hate the goldfish game so much
Yeah I wasted so much money trying to save those poor fish
I had goldfish for three or four years
They are smart
But also, why win something that I now have to take care of? Like, the reward is a burden? No thanks.
for like 3 seconds?
at a time
Like I cried when I had to give them away. They 100% recognized me as their owner
Like they'd come to my side of the tank and beg for food
They just got so big that it was cruel to keep them
It's the fact that the fish are in a plastic bag fish don't breathe water they filter the oxygen in the water and keeping them in an airtight bag is just screaming kill me
I'm sure you'd cry too if your Giant Food God left you
I was afraid I'd stunt their growth which is another reason why carnivals shouldn't have that game; fish grow to the size of their tanks but their organs don't
I once tried to keep a water turtle. It didn't take....and it was a permanent stain on my soul....feeling how soft his shell was when he decided to give up....
ah I didn't know that
Like it's graphic but yeah
@JohnsMyth oh my gosh I feel that
so how do you avoid that? just don't feed them as much?
I gave him medicine, put him in natural light, had a large stone outside the water he could rest on. He still knew that life was over. He crawled up, ignored the food and medicine, and gave up.
Like it feels so bad
Granted my goldfish were fine and I hope they found a good home but I sobbed because I knew I had gotten them knowing the books said not to
And when I had to scoop him up to bury him, his shell was as as soft as his skin. Super sad.
> so how do you avoid that? just don't feed them as much?
@Dante No, just don't get them if you don't have a 40+ gallon tank
ah ok
It's always good to know about the animal you're trying to raise
very true
Like fr they get huge, especially comets
I was foolish and wanted a goldfish so badly that I ignored the books and believed the pet shop owner
I wish parents would do that too
HOWEVER. I've been watching this guy on youtube who creates natural environments for fish. Looks like a ton of work, but they really thrive, and it's super therapeutic just watching how he sets the whole thing up.
They were small enough at the time
I had a pet tortoise once and it was basically a rescue because we found it on the side of the road about 3 weeks later my stepdad and I drove to the river and he said he was going to release it by throwing it in and I said are you stupid they can't swim
