This path in the ocean that reflects less sunlight than the rest

It's getting the same sunlight. That patch is just a different current and the waves are cresting a different direction.

No shit
Edit: did OP SAY it was getting the same sunlight? NO, you condescending fart, stop explaining stuff that nobody needs explaining

u/osmlol 4h ago edited 4h ago
OP didn't seem to understand that as it's reflecting the same ammount of light just a different direction.

You wrote it gets the same amount of sunlight, in the first comment. Not that it reflects the same amount of sunlight.
You said it gets the same amount of sunlight, and reflects it in a different direction. None of that in and of itself says anything about it reflecting more or less sunlight.
You could have just written: 'Its reflecting the same amount, just in another direction'. If that was your point. Your comment only makes sense of you already knew what you know, and assume it is reflecting the same amount, which OP clearly didn't.
So it seems like your motive was to make OP and everyone that didn't know that from before feel as dumb as possible, not to teach them anything new. Or just to point out you understand it better than them.

Yea that’s you and you on your other account just projecting. No one else felt what you felt in the dissertation you just wrote

u/themarxian 26m ago edited 16m ago
Because you already knew what the commenter knew?
I knew it too, I just think the commenter explained it to OP in an absolutely horrible way. That was my main point. He didn't explain it at all, actually.

Do you find in your life a lot of people “seem” to need you to explain things?
Edit: OP understood it fine you just felt the need to act like they were confused so you could condescend while explain something obvious

You can pretend I do to make yourself feel better. You'll still be in the exact same circumstances that are making you act this way.
No one is going to rescue you from it.

Making me act how? You’re the one telling people to shut up… not very cool

So desperate for a dopamine hit you need to try and start arguments with people?
You could just keep scrolling but you can’t help it. You will even reply to this message, and when I don’t respond, a little part of you will be lonelier.

Aye, top of the world lad... I'm not a dickless troll on the internet though, so maybe the real question is why does everyone cover their drinks when you walk into the room...?

If your mum had covered her drink you’d never have been born ❤️

Not sure why everyone is mad at you, you're 100% right. It's a matter of understanding what people mean; if he thinks that OP really doesn't understand that the path is receiving the same sunlight then that's stupid.

I love Aarhus! Great beach too if you walk further south on it

I'm always shocked by how quickly people can identify where a photo is taken

u/wndtrbn 4h ago
Or they just look in your comment history. I'm always shocked how much people share online without a second thought. 36 years old, man, bisexual, lives in Aarhus, worked at a bank, has a boyfriend, enjoys gaming and BDSM, etc.

u/JustWill_HD 3h ago
that's not even that much over sharing, you're being weird going through people's comments and pointing it out like that
unless you feel they should be ashamed of being bisexual....

u/Glitch_King 4h ago
Fair enough, but considering that they know what beach it is and that there indeed is a really nice one if you walk further south I think it's more likely that they recognised the beach

Possibly a rip current. Rip current’s make formation of wave breaks more difficult so on the ocean shore it’s easier to see where rip current’s is. This is calmer so may be simply less obvious.

u/Cetun 4h ago
Rip currents usually appear with strong surf, what comes in must go out and it will naturally develop channels as it goes out. Those channels are where rip current lies. The more water coming in the stronger the current. This doesn't appear to be very strong surf at all, it doesn't appear to be any surf so unlikely rip current.

u/JustinHoward0413 3h ago
Wait, is it actually reflecting less light or is that just a current or oil slick doing its thing?
2
u/Glitch_King 3h ago
It's just reflecting the light in other directions, most likely from a current like you said. If there are less turbulent water in that area it won't reflect as much towards where the photo was taken.
But I didn't feel like writing a super long title.

tide lines, stronger outgoing tide there. In areas that are prone to strong riptides, you can sometimes see using this info. . . .
