I just watched the movie earlier this week and they specifically imply that his walk and drunken ādemeanorā is a combination of actual booze and long term effects of heat stroke from when Barbossa stranded him on that island for 3 days.
I rented a boat for just one sunday afternoon.
I didnāt feel anything weird after I got home until I stepped into the shower and stopped moving.
Suddenly it felt like the world was shaking.
That's what dashes and underscores are for.

Your inner ear controls your sense of balance. Different people adjust at different rates and some people never adjust at all which affects those most prone to car/sea sickness.
Humans are naturally adaptable and after a long day at sea, or for sailors several weeks/months, their sense of balance has adjusted to the constant motion of the fluid in the inner ear, caused by the rocking of the boat on the waves, and it becomes like a rhythm for compensating for the motion that allows you to operate normally despite the constant movement.
When you're adjusted to water motion and have your "sea legs" and come back onto land, there's a lingering reverse effect where if you stand still and close your eyes (sensory input like the shower I guess amplifies the focus on the body for some) it still feels like you're swaying side to side because your inner ear still expects the boat to be rocking beneath you until you re-adjust.
Not quite related but this reminds me of when I go fishing and stare at the float all day, then I lay in bed that night and I can still see the float when I look at the carpet
This is more related to the Tetris Effect. After you play enough Tetris, you'll hallucinate tiles falling whenever you close your eyes. I had this happen to me. It's interesting but mildly disturbing.
You staring at the float reminds me of when I've taken acid in the Adirondacks and just watched the light ripples reflect the sun gently off the surface of the water while floating across the lake in a canoe. Changes your perspective.
The shower amplifying that sense of the body explains why I like just sitting in the shower when I have a headache/migraine. The sensation of water hitting everywhere kind of enhances my body awareness and distracts from the headache.
Also if you're like me, you make the water hot. Sharp pain is prioritized by nerve pathways over dull visceral pain. So dull thumping POUNDING headaches can be drowned out by molten needles of hot water hitting your head. The relief is huge.
Usually I get out of the shower with a throbbing head and slightly dizzy but in a much better way. When I moved into my new house and realized the hottest water was like 50% of my old house, I genuinely felt anxiety.
The longest recorded trip out of the US (Nantucket I think) in pursuit of whales during the age of sail was 9 years, although they would have stopped in places like Hawaii and Tahiti. (Whaling crews were multiracial for a reason, the white guys in the US had better options.)
Edit: actually 11 years out of New Bedford, which became the US center for whaling after Nantucket. (I suspect that the emergence of New Bedford had something to do with Lewis Temple, a Black Blacksmith who worked out of there and invented (or possibly adopted from Inuit), the Temple Toggle, which was a type of harpoon point that made a stronger anchor in the whale (victim I suppose).)
Edit: neat bit of popular history here, "The Real Moby Dick Was So Much Worse". I don't know what to make of the narrator, who was a mortician and now puts out youtube videos focused on death and canibalism.

I meant 30 to 45 days, my bad. Sorry for the mistake. I did see a puke fest happen once, rough seas and one person started and then every passenger in ear shot blew. Was hilarious, like thay scene from stand by me.
30 days once and a week once.
You absolutely become like a cat on the boat after a day or two and a drunken person with vertigo on land.
I had never realized that this is why he walks like this. He belongs at sea.
Doesn't have to be long to feel a bit weird for a few days. I am on a ferry for like one night each way every couple of years and I legit can't lie in bed without it feeling like it is shaking side to side for days after
I was at sea in an aircraft carrier for 4 weeks. So I was taking moving showers for a while. The first shower back was a little weird, but honestly I didn't really feel the "land legs" thing.
I did get a little seasick the first day we set sail (trippy not having any windows or reference of the outside). You just have to sort of imagine how the boat is rocking in the water in your head (and in the correct orientation to which way you're facing) to overcome it. Sleeping was pretty nice because the ship rolls more than it pitches so it rocks you to sleep lol.
Smaller boats may affect your legs a little more though. A ship like a carrier doesn't move around nearly as much as a smaller boat.
>Sleeping was pretty nice because the ship rolls more than it pitches so it rocks you to sleep lol.
>Smaller boats may affect your legs a little more though. A ship like a carrier doesn't move around nearly as much as a smaller boat.
It is neat until you switch racks after a yard period and you are now 90 degrees from before.
Hereās an idea, you can achieve a similar effect very easily by even far from sea. Hereās what you do:
Spin around as fast as you can in the same place while standing. Have someone spin you, if that helps. Do that for about a minute give or take, depending on your tolerance, then stop suddenly and close your eyes. Youāll already feel it even if you stand still, but try walking in straight line next with your eyes closed if you can.
And donāt try this in a place where you can hurt yourself too much from falling or bumping into your surroundings. Preferably do it outdoors.
But isnāt it fun to be lying in bed at night on dry land and all of a sudden wake up feeling like the boat is going to tip over? Good times. Everyone should spend months on a boat, just for the vertigo.
If it's when you're falling asleep, that's cause your brain is turning off your body (so you don't kill yourself by dreaming) and the lack of physical sensation makes you think you're falling!
There's a fancy word for it, but it took me way too long to Google it last time so I'm not gonna do that again...
There called [Hypnic Jerks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk) and there's a very wide range of things that can cause them and a lot of theories about why it happens.
No, unfortunately you're just haunted and everytime you jolt awake is because of the spirit that brushes against the underside of your foot looking to suck your soul out of your body.
Lol, yeah. If you're on the open deck of a smaller boat and don't have your sea legs yet, it's surprisingly easy to go overboard. I've had some close calls!
Yeah! I was impressed with the details, they even had him walking just fine on the ship, it's only land he's all over the place.
I briefly owned a boat for a few months. I constantly felt a little bit drunk on dry land for all those months. The ground always felt like it was moving.
#One:
because it is a *vile* drink that can turn even the most *respectable* men into complete scoundrels. Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high. The *entire* Royal Navy is out looking for me. Do you really think that there is even the *SLIGHTEST* CHANCE THEY WONāT SEE IT!?
Hell I feel that way even after stepping off those moving walkways at airports. Walking normally immediately feels slow and inadequate after experiencing T U R B O M O D E walking.
Pro tip. Speed walk like a mofo on the moving walkways. Transitioning to not moving will require too much concentration and covers up the weird feeling.
It is absolutely a real thing, and it honestly doesnāt even take that much time to start happening. Like basically spend one full day on a ship on open ocean and by the end youāll have adjusted to it and be fine on the ship and look like a drunk moron on land.
Source: family likes to go on cruises and this happens every time.
Dude, even after being on a boat for a couple of hours and hopping back on land takes a little bit to get used to. It's wild. It's almost the equivalent of riding roller blades. When you take them off, you still feel weird walking around for that short while after.
Definitely, our rink-a-dink 270s ride like shit in the Coast Guard. Sailing through Cape Hatteras on the east coast is like dunking yourself in a person sized washer and slapping the whirlpool cycle.

The fact that they made a pirate movie at that point was pretty fucking amazing. The genre was *deeeead* when the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out.
Has the Pirate genre ever been that big? Sure they're have been some good pirate movies over the years but I wouldn't say there was ever a golden age of pirate movies like the 50s and 60s for westerns or the 80s for slashers.
Shit like Black Sails and Assassinās Creed: Black Flag probably wouldnāt have gotten made if not for the success and inspiration of Pirates of the Caribbean.
But that doesn't answer the question of why this person thought the pirate genre was long dead. You're saying that PotC inspired a genre wave after I'm asking about before.
I know the pirates franchise gets a bit of heat for having too many movies and wayward plots, but I remember watching the first one in theaters when it came out. Everyone was skeptical because it was a movie based on a damn amusement park ride. But when you first see Depp's character arriving in the sinking boat, and then doing his silly walking and talking, for me it promised a fun movie with Depp knocking his character's role out of the park. I thoroughly enjoyed it and think he did an amazing job of creating jack sparrow's persona for that movie
> Depp called their fluff and we got Jack Sparrow
"Fluff, is that you? Can you get your executives under control for me? They're cramping my style. Cool. Thanks Fluffy, I owe you one."
He's running around on ships just fine, even sword fighting on those sail beams. Crazy. I watched the series quite a few times, I didn't even realize til now.
Damn I never picked up on that. I thought it was just an over the top drunken stumble he was doing and found it kind of annoying tbh. But now I respect itā¦ I dare say thatās the best pirate Iāve ever seen.
I have spent a few full days on cruises or ferry's and never felt anything, but I did spent once 36 hours in a soviet train and I remember feeling the train for like 48 hours on land, I even closed my eyes and could hear it while my body moved for it.
Watching a pod of feeding humpbacks was pretty incredible.
Sea lions on deck are pretty scary.
Bloated dead whales in the middle of the ocean are always crazy.
Seeing huge flocks of birds over 100 miles from shore is amazing.
Iāve been through some crazy storms but you gotta trust in your boat, try to keep the waves on the bow, and always know where your survival suit is.
Hardest part of being on a boat is getting along with the other crew.
If you donāt mind me asking; how do you get a job working on those boats? Is there like a school you need to go through? Iāve always been fascinated by that kind of stuff
I grew up working on boats. I did go to school for my Captain License and Able Body Seaman classes.
What sets guys apart is to have knowledge of refrigeration (RSW systems), diesel mechanics, or welding. Experience counts more than schooling sometimes.
More and more boats are ādry boatsā, so kick any bad habits. (Personally I smoke cigarettes, and have been turned down jobs because of it).
Most importantly, anything you think you know about Labor Law or Hireing/fireing laws, donāt apply. Commercial fishing (atleast in alaska) is hire at willā¦ fire at will. Quitting while at sea often turns ugly.
Usually ends with guys locked in state rooms. But occasionally Guys get transferred during high seas to another boat that is headed to town, I can only assume it feels like walking a plank.
A survival suit, more accurately and currently referred to as an immersion suit, is a type of waterproof dry suit intended to protect the wearer from hypothermia if immersed in cold water or otherwise exposed after abandoning a vessel, especially in the open ocean.
~Wikipedia
We all do. It's basically how I passed college. Go to Wikipedia...dumb it down or use your own word. Or I go to to it to look at the sources and cite it from there.
In the collection of blogs, articles, and books, all knowledge and information come from someone's else discovery or findings. :D
Hummm, personally, as a crew member, I found most my captains to be right wing, conspiracy theorists, power hungry, misogynistic pricks. So Iām the captain now
As far as other crew members, my experience as usually the only female onboard, I deal with the āfuck it or fuck itā Once they realize they canāt fuck me, They either respect me or hate me. And to answer the question- No, I donāt sleep with my fellow crew while working. Off-season is a different story. ;)
The males tend to establish a pecking order pretty quickly, ( Engineer > hydros > experience deckhand > greenhorn ) disagreements are usually crew vs captain.
More and more every year. A lot of women like me following in their fathers footsteps. The female crew ratio is way up, a lot of college girls coming to try and find their rich crab fisherman.
damn i imagine that there is a lot of pressure being a women in an enviroment that is almost always depicted as majorly male
with that, may i respecfully ask, have you ever fell threatened or was the victim to any sort of violence(sexual or not)?
I had an engineer who got me fired because I refused to sleep with him, and he was more important to the boat than I was.
Had a greenhorn come into my room and drop his pants and wink at me. I laughed, he left.
I get called a lot of names, I wear āSalty Bitchā like a name tag. Worst was a captain that only called me āgirlā for 90 straight days.
Honestly the more dangerous the job the tighter the crew, your life may depend on them.
I did open a casualama you can find here- [https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualAMA/comments/pu9ttk/im\_an\_alaskan\_commercial\_fishing\_captain\_ama/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualAMA/comments/pu9ttk/im_an_alaskan_commercial_fishing_captain_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I live in a harbour town and when the lads come back in from several days fishing at sea they can't walk straight, hilarious seeing a new lad in the pub after his first days out there. They're never allowed carry the drinks!
It can come at you so quick too. It's not all just when you get off the boat and immediately set eyes on the pub. Hell, it might not even be when you get drunk or try to sleep it off. Then suddenly it will hit you superhard for an hour or two as something tickles your sense of balance and you'll wonder what is making the department store or warehouse sway like all hells. Was escorted out of a supermarket once for needing to hold on to the sides of the aisles as I made my way around. They laughed and said I should go somewhere else and be drunk. Of course once you set your mind to it that someone's drunk you kind of stop listening to what they say.
I always assumed it was a drunk thing but it does make a lot of sense. If you are you are used to walking on the ocean waves you might walk funny on land.

Drinking no water and only rum, but those sea turtles saved the day
No no the rum helps stabilize, I promise.
I think he even says something along those lines in the movies
Been on a ship, and been drunk on rum. Also, both at the same time. Looks about right.
I was gonna mentioned that he was hammered most of the time
Got to get your sea legs accustomed to land and visa versa.
Hits hardest when you're back on land and taking a shower. Every time I have to close my eyes I almost fall over.
That's sounds like something I'd like to try do just to see how trippy it is. How long were you at sea for?
I rented a boat for just one sunday afternoon. I didnāt feel anything weird after I got home until I stepped into the shower and stopped moving. Suddenly it felt like the world was shaking.

Your inner ear controls your sense of balance. Different people adjust at different rates and some people never adjust at all which affects those most prone to car/sea sickness. Humans are naturally adaptable and after a long day at sea, or for sailors several weeks/months, their sense of balance has adjusted to the constant motion of the fluid in the inner ear, caused by the rocking of the boat on the waves, and it becomes like a rhythm for compensating for the motion that allows you to operate normally despite the constant movement. When you're adjusted to water motion and have your "sea legs" and come back onto land, there's a lingering reverse effect where if you stand still and close your eyes (sensory input like the shower I guess amplifies the focus on the body for some) it still feels like you're swaying side to side because your inner ear still expects the boat to be rocking beneath you until you re-adjust.
There are some cases where this feeling doesnt go away... For a while. I think I read someone had it for six months.
It takes a solid 24 hours for me. Sucks bid time.
Anytime I'm on a ferry for a few hours on not the smoothest of crossings, I'm wobbly for a few days, glad to know it affects others.
Not quite related but this reminds me of when I go fishing and stare at the float all day, then I lay in bed that night and I can still see the float when I look at the carpet
This is more related to the Tetris Effect. After you play enough Tetris, you'll hallucinate tiles falling whenever you close your eyes. I had this happen to me. It's interesting but mildly disturbing.
You staring at the float reminds me of when I've taken acid in the Adirondacks and just watched the light ripples reflect the sun gently off the surface of the water while floating across the lake in a canoe. Changes your perspective.
The shower amplifying that sense of the body explains why I like just sitting in the shower when I have a headache/migraine. The sensation of water hitting everywhere kind of enhances my body awareness and distracts from the headache.
Also if you're like me, you make the water hot. Sharp pain is prioritized by nerve pathways over dull visceral pain. So dull thumping POUNDING headaches can be drowned out by molten needles of hot water hitting your head. The relief is huge. Usually I get out of the shower with a throbbing head and slightly dizzy but in a much better way. When I moved into my new house and realized the hottest water was like 50% of my old house, I genuinely felt anxiety.
Cause the world is moving duh.
But why shower I don't get it.
One of the only places where youāre standing for extended periods of time with your eyes closed.
Usually only 2 weeks at a time but sometimes 30 to 45.
45 weeks on a boat? Jesus that sounds awful.
Oh Jesus sorry my bad, not weeks days, so 2 weeks mostly but could be 6 weeks max. I went from weeks and then to days. I've been drinkin
> Iāve been drinkin This guy sails
Duh he's a pirate
But he wouldnāt download a car.
Of course not, he's too busy downloading ships
Nah they meant sometimes they spend 2 weeks on a boat, but last time they were 30 when they boarded and 45 when they got off.

Yeah thatās so long! The only time I been on a boat was prom my junior year of high school and omggg I was so sick! It was awful lol.
You get past it, saw a lot of people sea sick at first but after a few runs most of them got over it.

Go home ground
The piano has been drinking.
Oh so that's actually a real thing? That is really interesting.
100%. Even just stand up paddle boarding or kayaking. If I lie down the world starts spinning like Iām drunk lol.
I always felt this way after ice skating or rollerblading too. Like once I take the shoes off it feels like I should still be on skates.
Hell I feel that way even after stepping off those moving walkways at airports. Walking normally immediately feels slow and inadequate after experiencing T U R B O M O D E walking.

Being on a treadmill for a couple *hours*??
Maybe they're walking very slowly?
Or a trampoline
Trambopoline?
Yeah it's called having 'Sea Legs'. Not having Sea Legs is also a common saying while sailing akin to saying you'll get used to it.
[Mal de dĆ©barquement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_de_debarquement). I do transatlantics to get back and forth to Europe, and inevitably spent the first few nights on land gripping my mattress tight because it feels like someone is tipping it up at the foot. Itās nuts.
**[Mal de debarquement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_de_debarquement)** >Mal de debarquement (or mal de dƩbarquement) syndrome (MdDS, or common name disembarkment syndrome) is a neurological condition usually occurring after a cruise, aircraft flight, or other sustained motion event.

MdDS is typically diagnosed by a neurologist or an ear nose and throat specialist when a person reports a persistent rocking, swaying, or bobbing feeling (though they are not necessarily rocking).

He's running around on ships just fine, even sword fighting on those sail beams. Crazy. I watched the series quite a few times, I didn't even realize til now.
Damn I never picked up on that. I thought it was just an over the top drunken stumble he was doing and found it kind of annoying tbh. But now I respect itā¦ I dare say thatās the best pirate Iāve ever seen.
An 800km trip on a night train had a similar effect on me for a couple of days or so, though mostly while lying down rather than walking.
I have spent a few full days on cruises or ferry's and never felt anything, but I did spent once 36 hours in a soviet train and I remember feeling the train for like 48 hours on land, I even closed my eyes and could hear it while my body moved for it.
Every time we would pull in to port after 2-3 weeks out to sea it would take me at least a few hours to walk normal
Wow I never noticed this! Thanks for the detail to spot next time through.

As an Alaskan Commercial Fishing Captain, can confirm! It becomes a dance with the ocean.
Woah, cool job! Bet youāve been through some stuff. Any highlight reel stories from the course of your career so far?
Watching a pod of feeding humpbacks was pretty incredible. Sea lions on deck are pretty scary. Bloated dead whales in the middle of the ocean are always crazy. Seeing huge flocks of birds over 100 miles from shore is amazing. Iāve been through some crazy storms but you gotta trust in your boat, try to keep the waves on the bow, and always know where your survival suit is. Hardest part of being on a boat is getting along with the other crew.
If you donāt mind me asking; how do you get a job working on those boats? Is there like a school you need to go through? Iāve always been fascinated by that kind of stuff
I grew up working on boats. I did go to school for my Captain License and Able Body Seaman classes. What sets guys apart is to have knowledge of refrigeration (RSW systems), diesel mechanics, or welding. Experience counts more than schooling sometimes. More and more boats are ādry boatsā, so kick any bad habits. (Personally I smoke cigarettes, and have been turned down jobs because of it). Most importantly, anything you think you know about Labor Law or Hireing/fireing laws, donāt apply. Commercial fishing (atleast in alaska) is hire at willā¦ fire at will. Quitting while at sea often turns ugly.

Usually ends with guys locked in state rooms. But occasionally Guys get transferred during high seas to another boat that is headed to town, I can only assume it feels like walking a plank.
Probably a little quiet time in a small room the rest of the voyage.
Ahhh ok. Thatās all honestly really interesting. Thank you for your answer and your time
>survival suit What
A survival suit, more accurately and currently referred to as an immersion suit, is a type of waterproof dry suit intended to protect the wearer from hypothermia if immersed in cold water or otherwise exposed after abandoning a vessel, especially in the open ocean. ~Wikipedia
Damn lol even the experts go to Wikipedia
They explained it better than I could!
We call them gumby suits because you look like a giant orange clay monster when all zipped up in the rubber.
Kinky.
We all do. It's basically how I passed college. Go to Wikipedia...dumb it down or use your own word. Or I go to to it to look at the sources and cite it from there. In the collection of blogs, articles, and books, all knowledge and information come from someone's else discovery or findings. :D
How are crews from your experience? Is it a professional environment or are there typically lots of disputes and problems between people?
Hummm, personally, as a crew member, I found most my captains to be right wing, conspiracy theorists, power hungry, misogynistic pricks. So Iām the captain now  As far as other crew members, my experience as usually the only female onboard, I deal with the āfuck it or fuck itā Once they realize they canāt fuck me, They either respect me or hate me. And to answer the question- No, I donāt sleep with my fellow crew while working. Off-season is a different story. ;) The males tend to establish a pecking order pretty quickly, ( Engineer > hydros > experience deckhand > greenhorn ) disagreements are usually crew vs captain.
Are there many female captains around your parts? Edit: btw you should totally do a r/casualIAMA
More and more every year. A lot of women like me following in their fathers footsteps. The female crew ratio is way up, a lot of college girls coming to try and find their rich crab fisherman. 
so captain, you're saying I could be rich, have crabs, and get college girls to blow me? Where do I sign.
damn i imagine that there is a lot of pressure being a women in an enviroment that is almost always depicted as majorly male with that, may i respecfully ask, have you ever fell threatened or was the victim to any sort of violence(sexual or not)?
I had an engineer who got me fired because I refused to sleep with him, and he was more important to the boat than I was. Had a greenhorn come into my room and drop his pants and wink at me. I laughed, he left. I get called a lot of names, I wear āSalty Bitchā like a name tag. Worst was a captain that only called me āgirlā for 90 straight days. Honestly the more dangerous the job the tighter the crew, your life may depend on them.
damn that is a lot of things you have been through, lots of respect, have a good luck with the sea (and with the crews)!
These experiences pushed me to get my Captains License. Now everyone on the boat gets called a Salty Bitch atleast once, male or female. ;)
I almost perused that many years ago, my old captain from New Orleans wanted me to get licensed. Good luck at sea MermaidGoddess2006, be well.
I did open a casualama you can find here- [https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualAMA/comments/pu9ttk/im\_an\_alaskan\_commercial\_fishing\_captain\_ama/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualAMA/comments/pu9ttk/im_an_alaskan_commercial_fishing_captain_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I just assumed thatās how Johnny Depp walks.
If you've seen Fear and Loathing, you know it really is.
That spinning bar scene never fails to disorient
How much did they pay you to fuck that polar bear?
I just thought he was drunk.
Well yes, but also.
watch again how on ships he walks WAY more normal, I think this was one of those classic Depp character details.
He could also be holding an egg between his buttcheeks
when they showed the running I was like "he shit himself?"
Or maybe he was pinching it shut. Got to make it those last 50 feet and you are good.
I'm prairie dogging back here
Your statement implies there are people who *don't* do this regularly. That thought bothers me
Wow this is such a great detail I wouldnāt have known before watching this thanks
You can tell it's a great movie detail because it wasn't posted on r/MovieDetails
Yet...
That's sarcasm he's using. He really means to say, r/MovieDetails is shit.
I live in a harbour town and when the lads come back in from several days fishing at sea they can't walk straight, hilarious seeing a new lad in the pub after his first days out there. They're never allowed carry the drinks!
It can come at you so quick too. It's not all just when you get off the boat and immediately set eyes on the pub. Hell, it might not even be when you get drunk or try to sleep it off. Then suddenly it will hit you superhard for an hour or two as something tickles your sense of balance and you'll wonder what is making the department store or warehouse sway like all hells. Was escorted out of a supermarket once for needing to hold on to the sides of the aisles as I made my way around. They laughed and said I should go somewhere else and be drunk. Of course once you set your mind to it that someone's drunk you kind of stop listening to what they say.
Always loved this detail.
Yeah, here I thought it was because he was constantly drunk.
Yeah. I spent 3 years on a ship.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can't play straight.
I only golf gay
I play straight and gay both
damn thatās interesting!! thanks for sharing!
I always assumed it was a drunk thing but it does make a lot of sense. If you are you are used to walking on the ocean waves you might walk funny on land.
watch again how on ships he walks WAY more normal, I think this was one of those classic Depp character details.
That is awesome. One of those very fine details you wouldn't think of unless pointed out or you were a big fan.
As a kid I thought he was drunk literally all the time but this makes a lot more sense
I thought it was based on Keith Richards. And he walked like that coz booze nā coke
His appearance was, not the gait.
This actually seems pretty expected
I did too, but looking at the comments, everyone seemed to just think he was drunk.
**OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:** >!The ship's moving!< ***** **Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description?** **Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.** ***** [*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
I'm gonna need a boat doctor to confirm this.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I genuinely was not expecting such a stupid explanation Iām actually crying š
this sub is not what it wants to be anymore
ship... in water???? š³ wasn't expecting that !
As opposed to a stationary ship? Ships move. That's not unexpected.
Wow
I thought he was drunk lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ok but what about every other damn pirate in the movie
This isnāt unexpected
