When we go swimming and spend extended time in water, do the little bugs who live on our skin suffocate and die?

Half the time they were lying anyway :(

I am an expert on the little bugs that live on your skin. Swimming for extended periods not only doesn't harm them, it makes them stronger. Try to limit swimming to 2 hours or less or they may become strong enough to take over control of your body!

That's super interesting- would you have some sources or at least some keywords I could search for more info on how this happens?

Guess now’s an appropriate time o post this…

Do you have a source on that? Source? A source. I need a source. Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion. No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered. You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence. Do you have a degree in that field? A college degree? In that field? Then your arguments are invalid. No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation. Correlation does not equal causation. CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION. You still haven't provided me a valid source yet. Nope, still haven't. I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

Had I been arguing or trying to dispute then your reply would have been appropriate. Better luck next time.
