Fun fact, you are more likely to die taking a selfie than to be killed by a shark. From 2018-2021 more than 300 people died while taking a selfie, in that same time period about 200 people were killed by sharks.
Source?
I was quoting this article, couldn’t get to their source — could be pay-walled.
