    Swans are fucking berserk. I got attacked by one once and wouldn’t survive if it wasn’t a kid.

    Lol, this has clearly been translated from Dutch in its entirety - the title, the snippet of the article and the tweet.

    Is he saying a child wouldn’t have survived against the swan or that he himself could easily kill a child?

        it’s 2024, let’s drop jpg already… Both thatsthejoke.exr and thatsthejoke.jpegxl can have several layers, as well as better punch thanks to higher bit depth

    Damn children attacking innocent swimmers just minding their own business! I’d do the same as this guy if it happened to me!

      It was probably an urban swan. They grow up tougher; living on the street, dealing with gang life, dancing the ballet.

      judging by the wetsuit, i assume he was in the water when he attacked the swan. swans can be very deadly in water…

      I‘m not entirely sure, but I think a swan can break bones by hitting with its wings. So it might be not as easy as grabbing the neck

        Swans bones are less strong and dense that yours unless you’ve got osteoporosis or maybe are, like, two. Think the whole thing about a swan breaking a bone is pretty much urban myth - I remember looking for a single reported instance of it happening once and giving up after an hour or so
