    Corpse size has a lot to do with it. I wouldn’t swim in even a large pool with a dead human in it (knowingly), but one dead fish or rodent or dozens of dead tadpoles or bugs? Not an issue.

    Heck, most household swimming pools have dozens of dead bodies in them, but they’re 99% insects.

      The whole premise of this meme is a bit silly. If there was a corpse floating near the beach, I think most people might wait for the corpse to be removed, and perhaps even a reasonable cause of death to be determined, before entering the local area. The same is true for pools.

        “Smithens, the corpse is growing near me again. Use the pool-skimmer to push it into the deep end”

        Ah, so corpse count AND proximity are both factors? Along with knowledge of the presence of said corpse?

          And corpse size and species. The variables are piling up… This is gonna be a difficult study

          This can be simplified to the individual’s understanding of how quickly they could be touching a corpse.

            Corpse size still plays a role. You wouldn’t want to touch a dead tadpole, but you may not even notice.

      Ah no, a dead fish indicates that the water isn’t healthy. You should shy away from it.

        Yeah, fish always make sure to leave the water before they die.

          Fish tend to die by being eaten, a dead fish that nothing has eaten yet is a concern.

        Or a couple of severed toes or fingers?

          What about a clipped fingernail? There’s some kind of acceptability threshold here as well.

          Speaking of which, what percentage of poo would be acceptable? Does it matter whether or not it’s family?

            Fingernails aren’t flesh; there’s no such thing as a dead fingernail because there’s no such thing as a live fingernail. It’s like shed hair floating in the pool; kinda gross, sure, but not dead body gross

              Let’s say intact, whole, but otherwise clean fingernails then.

            Similar to corpses, it’s not the %, it’s the accessibility: “How quickly could I be touching a corpse / poo right now?”

            How distantly related we talking here? Siblings/parents or cousins? We’re not the hapsburgs, no incestuous shit eating in this pool, no sirree.

          What if the head was laminated after it was severed?

            How exactly do you propose to laminate a severed head??

                That’s not “laminating”.
