 One time I went snorkeling in the Red Sea at Sahl Hasheesh, but my phone was accidentally set to selfie mode, which I didn’t realize until later.

And so instead of taking dozens pictures of all the fish I was looking at, I took dozens of pictures of my own dumbass face. https://image.nostr.build/1a11fbdf85e6aea1ece9796197c7f265f0d7ca4e1c74941a8228f4fbfb6e4835.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b8dac590093ef0c9ece41f422c3ef74b94fdbea19cec0450655808d4e56f5b36.jpg

 True, photos are all about memoriessss 
 Amazing. 
 we were fish once too so don’t feel bad lol 
 this is such an awesome post of serendipity up until the word “dumbass” 
 That was a happy accident! 💜 
 😂😂 epic 💎🐳 
 Baaahaaaa! 
 One time I sprayed down a rug with what I thought was a chemical to deter the puppy from urinating on it. Turned out it was synthetic urine which was supposed to be sprayed on the puppy pad.

 pov: you are a fish living in the Red Sea at Sahl Hasheesh and the cutest bitcoiner start swimming in your water😍 
 Reminds me of the Nevermind album cover by Nirvana.

The best pictures are often happy accidents especially if you’re not a professional photographer. 
 All modern phones boast with some level of waterproofing, but I would never dare to deliberately take my phone diving for photos 😄
For me that waterproofing is just an insurance in case I should accidentally drop my phone in a puddle or a pool.  
 I had it in an underwater phone case. But that also made it hard to see the screen and control the touchscreen, and so I end up in selfie mode. 
 Lol freakin Noob! XD 
 my definition of humble:

you know you are top tier intelligence, but because you are paying attention, you catch yourself being stupid, and you aren't afraid to talk about those times, even, you might not delete them because it's a funny story to back up with dumbass pictures

 Lol.  I did this when I was recording the proposal to my wife.  Turned the video on, leaned it up against the wall and pressed record.  Have a really romantic audio recording of my proposal and really solid footage of the wall  
 lmao 
 I'm fuckijg dead😂😂😂😂 
 Epic 😂 
 you must have scared every living thing around ) 
 Stay away from full face snorkeling masks. They are safety concerns using them. 
 Which is maybe even cooler, though. For the memories. 
 How come you didn’t know that it was in selfie mode ,you would have seen your face no?
Also judging by the picture quality those fish pictures wouldn’t have been great.. this probably was more memory worthy. 
 I had the phone in an underwater case. So I was looking at it through my mask and the underwater case. So mostly what I saw on the screen was just “blue”. And I accidentally pressed the selfie button at some early point.

Went back for round two and got the fish, though. https://image.nostr.build/ae8aa4000b5a1c2d383af4e0762bedb1317e4ae348656000d118ab568d5c6778.jpg  
 the selfie looks better :-) 
 Oh nice! That’s a cool shot 
 The fish were probably looking at you and saying to themselves, "look at this idiot acting like me out of water." [Fish-face-fin-emoji] 
 😂 
 lol 
 😂🤣 
 @LynAlden you captured emotions! 💪 
 Even from failures, great things arise! 😂 
 lol, definitely something I would do. 
 epic 🐠🐟
