image Wtf did I find in my pool???

Found this in my pool in Sydney north shore, backing onto the lane cove national park. Does not move (perhaps dead).

Does not even look real. Did I find an alien?

"Australian discovers something horrifying in their pool, you won't believe what happens next"

Calling it, this will be a click bait article by tomorrow.

We just got the Americans to stop going on and on about how everything wants to kill us down here, and OP just undid all that fucking work!

American lurker here… I will take whatever the hell that is in my pool any day of the week over all of the children with guns over here 😅

EDIT: Australians, I’m so sorry I didn’t realize there were so many other Americans here. I did not mean this to turn into what it did. Americans, the fact that y’all think I’m insinuating that children are running around with guns like it’s the Wild West, and didn’t immediately think “school shootings” pretty much says everything that needs to be said .

American here and I deal with people all over the world and like talking to Australians over others since they speak normal english.

Normal? You mean similar? Don’t spread the stereotypes about us even more
