Happened once after a couple drinks at the bar in college - my vision went dark and I started to get on the ground and said "salty snacks please" and was out

Also makes it fun and creepy for your friends in the future when it happens and you know you have one sentence of consciousness left and can alert them yourself

A big pre- faint tip is if someone mentions they suddenly can't see or their vision has gone dark, they're about to go down. I experienced and said as much before my first faint and a nurse nearby went "GRAB HER SHE'S FAINTING!" which, love her to this day.

Finally. It opens.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...
