TIL in 1998, a married couple was left behind during a diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Two days passed before anyone realized what had happened. Despite a 5-day search, the couple was never found. A dive slate was later recovered which read "... rescue us before we die..."

I honestly don't have fantasies about killing people. If I hate someone that bad, I just hope that something happens to them that ends their life, like a car accident or something. I never have thoughts about killing or seriously injuring someone. I may want to punch some teeth out, but when it comes to them dying, I always want the universe to handle the problem.

Sometimes I wonder if the head injury I had when I was 6 slightly altered some things in my brain. I never feel lonely. I can't even begin to imagine how some people sit around and cry because they feel lonely. I have no idea what that's like.

Now, when I watch stuff about people like Dahmer, I try to imagine what they were doing to their victims, but that's more like I'm watching it like a camera floating above what's going on. But I've been trying to think of an instance since yesterday about a time where I've fantasized going through the actions of murdering someone, and I can't think of any.
