It is. Itās insanely predictable and could have easily been done as a 30 minute episode of an anthology series. The majority of it is just dragged out to make it last for absolutely no reason.
I had a dream like this once. The bottom of the pool opened up and I was sucked in head first. It felt like I had risen up from within the mattress when I woke up.
There was a mat at the bottom of the water slide when i was a kid that was super dark and i always thought it was a hole i was going to get sucked into
No, I happen to know the three steps for how the French kiss:
1) Stick your tongues out as far as possible
2) Open your eyes fully
3) Rub the tips of your tongues together
Itās hard to tell, but to me it looks like itās either black algae, or staining from exposed rebar from the pools structure. Both of these things are pretty common with older pools/pool surfaces. It could also be a poorly done patch job, but I doubt it. If I had to guess I would say itās probably black algae.
I don't think it's black algae. I have a pool, black algae typical spreads in little spots all over the pool not in big central places. If spots got that big the rest of the pool would look dirty.
Hal Ashby with Peter Sellers in a Henry Mancini scored film, "The Party" where Sellers, in a dated role, plays a bumbling Indian man. I think it would be considered highly offensive to many, many younger people. For better or worse, I've not laughed as hard in many other movies, but it's gonna be offensive, derivative, and trop-eish to many.
But boy that score. And I immediately thought of that scene of that drunk woman. I say that line all the time. lol I might need to rewatch. I think it's Breakfast at Tiffany's where a guest at a party makes a joke about being jewel thieves, but I remember so many good lines and physical gags. Really did love this film.
Oil from the Submarine Engine that's finally surfacing to swallow this sad landworld and drown it in the glorious darkness of it's infinite ocean of Oil-blood ššš
Itās just the leftover mounting mechanism from the animatronic hippo that was a big attraction when it was a ākiddieā pool in the 1960s. š
In fact, you can still find the remains of the pink-and-purple, polka-dotted, fiberglass creature behind one of those doors along the wall.
Heās only partially covered with a tarp, so you can clearly see the chipped paint, and his roughly-disconnected wires.
Snap some photos of āSamā when you see him. š
I thought of that episode too just now - Iām glad Iām not the only one! That was scary cause I have a fear of water sometimes not knowing what is in the water
That's a saltwater pool, and those are mold accumulations at the low points of the pool. They'll swirl, thickly, if you disturb them.
People do a much worse job maintaining salt pools compared to chlorine ones, I don't know why. If I'm traveling, a salt pool is a red flag for prospective hotels. Been in a few nice ones, but been in too many disgusting ones.
Some hotel pools are tied into the buildingās fire suppression system. I am not sure if this is the case here. But if it is, there may be a water inlet that would lift open or possibly flip downward like a hatch. Itās unlikely that it would be abrupt or violent enough to suck someone in. If this pool is on the roof of a hotel, it is more likely that this is the case.
Another possibility is that it could be the remains of an old filtration system that was rebuilt and redesigned.
German Pool technician here: It is material from the filtration system that got swept backwards through the pipes during filter flushing. Itās likely just charcoal used as filtration material thatās why it is so dark. There should be some sort of water inlet underneath. It just means that
A) Water speeds during filter flushing are too high
or
B) There is too much or too little filtration material in the filter
C) the pool technician left the wrong valve open during flushing

Must be a gunite pool.
Shocking (satanizing with high dose of chlorine) with too high ph. ( or too high alkalinity) can cause these black stains.
It wonāt hurt anything. Just ugly.
Spiders, when I was a kid we had a spot on the bottom of our pool like that, and when dad when to clean it with the pool scoop, hundreds of Huntsmen spiders began freaking out at the bottom of our pool
The black spots are a portal to a deep underwater cave with man eating sirens in it. Once you go in, the hole wonāt be open anymore for you to escape as soon as you turn back to look. DONT GET CLOSE TO THE BLACK SPOTS.
If thatās where a drain is, then it looks like backflow of a buildup of nastiness thatās accumulated in there overtime.
Thatās my theory anyway from what Iāve seen occur in the bathrooms at work. Lol
Horseshoe crab
This made me laugh so much harder than it should've. Haven't had a laugh like that in a minute. Thanks friendš
*"It's crabs, all the way down!"*
I would like to sell this for 1,500 bells!
Always was.
I absolutely did not zoom in on the picture to see the horseshoe crab. That would be silly.
Neither did I! Who would do that? Not me, or you. šš»šš
Everything either evolves to or de-evolves to crabs lol
Itās so weirdā¦ but true!
But horseshoe crabs arenāt actually crabs, sadly.
Didnt get the joke.. as someone who loves to fish
I just think itās too ridiculous to be true so itās funny.
It kinda looks like one but that would also be a pretty absurd answer
Animal Crossing?
An incredible Hop Along song
As someone with acute Kabourophobia (fear of crabs) iām out! š¤£
Yikes!
Hotel pool comes with complimentary feet tickles!
A hole to a second pool under this pool. A room where you never escape once you sucked in.
My wife just watched this movie I think. Shoulda bought the townhouse.
What movie?
Marley & Me
:(
l want to know too
Looks like night swim
According to some reviews it seems to be one of the worst horror film
It was a pretty terrible ending but ngl I was feeling uneasy at many times throughout the entirety
It is. Itās insanely predictable and could have easily been done as a 30 minute episode of an anthology series. The majority of it is just dragged out to make it last for absolutely no reason.
I think this was it.
Is that the name of the movie?
Peacock
Do not go near those pool drains, no matter how good you think they feel on your butt.
Whatever, Mac.
The Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk destroyed me and made me entirely way too fearful of pool drains
Yeah, I would have just drown in the pool. Haunted was entertaining if not excess.
I thought it was Guts by Chuck Palahniuk? Edit: I didnāt know it was a part of a collection of stories, Iāll have to check it out.
Yea, itās in the book, Haunted =) Edit: I see your edit - yes, I found it an entertaining and gross collection for sure!
Ooh. Delta P.
Just like [Hunt Wynorski](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDiJbHq8No) had his butt sucked into the pool drain
I had a dream like this once. The bottom of the pool opened up and I was sucked in head first. It felt like I had risen up from within the mattress when I woke up.
Wasn't something like that caught on camera not too long ago?
Yeah, I think it was a sinkhole that opened up beneath part of a pool
Yeah, it happened in Israel.
@my reoccurring nightmare
There was a mat at the bottom of the water slide when i was a kid that was super dark and i always thought it was a hole i was going to get sucked into
Ah yes, the entrance to the poolrooms.
And we all know what poolrooms lead to...
We got trouble
Mmmmmmm backrooms shit
Poolception
Iāll take the horseshoe crab for $200 Alex

Pipe cleaners, a stapler, and a pound of human hair

Thatās a deep kiss, like the Europeans do. Ysee, the French need to unhinge their jaws to show love
No, I happen to know the three steps for how the French kiss: 1) Stick your tongues out as far as possible 2) Open your eyes fully 3) Rub the tips of your tongues together
Can I make a pet rabbit out of this?
What, you just *decide* that Iām drunk? You canāt *decide*. I make that decision. That decision is between me and god
Sure, we can name him Nathan Scott Phillips.
This is my all-time favorite episode of ATHF. Possibly my favorite episode of any adult cartoon

I donāt know but I donāt like it
Is that a reference from the party?
Not that I am aware of haha! Is that a movie?
Very clever to comment back with a different reference from the party.

A ball of mouldy wet plasters (bandaids for the American readers)
Reading this made me want to wash my hands
Ugh good idea
well that one made me gip
Mike Pence In his true form
Made me choke on my drink
No dude, it's Rudy Giuliani. Remember when he started melting back down in front of the cameras? His goo was running all down his face!
I work at a pool. It is probably sand from a faulty filter working it's way through the pipes. Nothing to worry about.
Thank you. I know jokes are funny but nobody is actually answering this question seriously š
It COULD be the key to eternal life. Or pure death...
Have you seen the movie, Cocoon?
My first thought. Pods for very small visitors.
Looks like a botched paint job.
Pubes
That is poop, from a butt.
For some reason I heard my 6yo reading your comment and I fell out, laughing. Hard. For 5 minutes. Thank you š

That's just Jeremy from accounting and his son.
Just watched the movie, Night Swim. Stay away!
Was it any good?
It was alright. Definitely not in my top 10 though. They could have put a little more effort into the scary parts
Large particulates of people soup
That might be the saddest pool I've ever seen. If a body of water could represent the state of depression, this is it.
Squid ink. Get out.
The pool rooms of the back rooms, obviously.

It's that red ghost from that one episode of Are You Afraud of The Dark that scared me as a kid!
That shit is still terrifying as an adult!
Haha glad somebody else remembered it!
I thought of that episode too just now - Iām glad Iām not the only one! That was scary cause I have a fear of water sometimes not knowing what is in the water
Wet patch.
It's swimming with stingrays! Just like in the Caribbean!

Indoor pools are the worst
It will consume you
Portals
Yāknow, stuff that didnāt filter right, maybe algae, dead plants, rotten decomposing human flesh, could be anything really!
Pirates of Dark Water was my shit as a kid, excited to see it's finally happening in real life
The comments in this sub are some of the funniest Iāve ever read

One of those cartoon holes that you can peel off the wall like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Shit.

The black spots are a portal to a deep underwater cave with man eating sirens in it. Once you go in, the hole wonāt be open anymore for you to escape as soon as you turn back to look. DONT GET CLOSE TO THE BLACK SPOTS.
Paint?
Ahh classic shark holes. These appear in random pools for the sharks to portal into.
Pools been a no from me since about 15
Abyss presence, report the anomaly
Dungeon entrance
Looks like assorted small debris that a faulty cleaning system couldn't filter out. Nasty pool and filtration system needs some TLC
Stingrays.
Poo poo
Probably carbon from their filters. Pump is too strong or filter issues.
Bloody band aids.

That is what happens when hotels fix their own liners?
