*sees drowning chipmunk* what to do? *proceeds spending time setting up a video* 'ooh this poor guy...' *sentimental background music*

I don't know, maybe get the drowning chipmunk out of the pool faster, rather that reaching for your phone?
Imalwaysready
Can't tell if they actually saved it's life or if it was playing dead and barely moving because it was terrified of the giant predator...

Is it recording? Yes? Ok NOW i can save him
chandon1
Oh no! I have to save a drowning chipmunk, but first let me get ready to record it.
SavageDrums
If you have a pool, look up a product called frog log. We have two for our pool (one at each end) and no drownings since we got them.

isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
The chipmunk is clearly alive the entire time and this lady just keeps smooshing it
htapoicosilus
Yeah but hey why use brains when you have nice music and can show your rescue on the internet
Feralkyn
Yeah, it was utterly exhausted and she coulda messed up its ribs. I doubt it survived

"Let me sandpaper you across the concrete a bit more. That'll help."
Flozzin
Yes. I agree. You could see him paddling. He's exhausted, not dead and needing CPR.
IShibaBeastIsWhatNameImgurChose4Me
I mean, some just don't know any better and just want to help. Ya can't condemn them for doing a good deed.
But you don't get fake internet points for NOT giving it cute little CPR...
richardsefton
I was think this. It's legs were moving in the pool and it played dead when she got it out
Wasn't playing dead, just exhausted. She coulda broken some ribs "trying cpr" like this
brandem
Chipmunks do play dead though
They don't, they DO just have heart attacks and die if stressed.
SmooveDoober
Hey, you saved a life, you're a hero
FourLegsGood
If you never buy and install a ramp you can be a hero all the time.
UnkindledOne
Decent Goo Goo Dolls cover
Noappi
So now you have a chipmunk with brain damage?
Cr4zyC4tLady
That’s my first thought. Did they check the see how long it was in there not breathing beforehand? Bc it would be brain dead after minutes.
AStegosaurus
It never stopped breathing. It was moving the entire time. The person smashing it into the cement is an idiot.
Ok, thats what I thought but then I figured I was just seeing what I wanted to see.
GhostBoodakaGB
Wait isn’t that just normal chipmunks m?
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
Internet has ruined me. I was expecting that the moment it was pulled out of the pool a hawk would come snag it
macgerdo
Good job OP! If you ever drown I'll reanimate you too! with one hand. while filming it.
DeimosBarret
How much quicker could she have gotten to saving him if she didn't pull out the phone, boot up camera, try three takes, and then get net?
AgnesMcGillicuddy
And then mauled him for 10 minutes
AllAroundSad
Imagine if she never saw him. Then he'd be dead for sure. Jesus christ dude.
chromed
Dude we're on imgur remember good things only count if you're totally silent and we find out by accident. /s
MileHighLivin
No. Good things only count when you use one hand to do them, so the other hand can record it for posterity
DongSayaDae
If its not an emergency, or you cant help, by all means film it ifyou want. Dont take the time and effort to film when it is though. Replace
the squirrel with a person, said rescuer now lets the person drown for longer and does cpr with 1 hand, cause he wants a social media post
(Now, if it was a person, i dont think hed film, but i dont see it as being any different really, a life is a life)
Lol. Imagine if it died anyway. Do you think the person filming would feel bad at all for not actually caring enough to use both hands?
jkjk1123
Imagine you almost drown and then someone saves you and starts squeezing you and rubbing you across concrete like a fucken cheese grater
averageideal
When I was 3 I saved a chipmunk whose leg was stuck in a bush. Then it bit me and I had to get rabies shots.
Did you live?
Oh! I don't know lemme check
.
kamosey
I wonder how many things seriously back fire because people try to film their actions at the same time.
Wepfmokk
Like when your dad filmed your birth?
Oh shit.. I forgot to hit record *yeet back into the water
skinnied
Really though. In that first bit he could've been holding it instead of rubbing it into the rough ass floor.
CyranoDeBurlapSack
But his likes!!
WhattaYaLookingFor
Why help properly when you can get the footage.
CrypticalEnvelopement
I wonder how many situations like this turned out sadly because they took the time to record instead of just helping quickly
WigglyBlondeNoodle
Imagine if a paramedic did this when trying to save a person.
jdwagBugVillain
Your comment made me think it was going to bite her or something else like that cool and hilarious. Now I am disappointed. ?
Carl99
To be fair they could have pulled out their camera for something else then spotted mr chipmunk with it out and recording.
circlofdeathtool
i think we can safely assume that more chipmunks are saved than the ones who are filmed while being saved :)
Ynigmatyk
True but at the same time time id rather see this than someone acting out a meme ive already seen 1000 times
DoughSlayer
*pricks* - come on.... do math..
Seriously tho. Wholesome!
NuclearMonk
Is there a protocol for when to stop smooshing a rodent if you don't think it's going to make it?
Don't smoosh it. It was exhausted
mondeca
Legally, you have to keep it up until paramedics relieve you, or you're too exhausted to continue.
The protocol is to not smoosh any animal that is alive. I think this chipmonk can sue for damages. He never needed smooshing.
Passion4Pets4Life233
It was probably alive. Chipmucks play dead when feel threatened or trauma. Happened when dog got a hold of one but didn't bite. I put it in
It was. It even kicked a few times in the pool it looked like. Was certainly awake for most of the "CPR." It just needed to be left alone.
Grass and went back to bury it 5 min later and it was gone. Looked up that he was prob alive. I was relieved and stopped crying
NinjaDoughnut
Slowed down the rescue and risked losing him just to get video footage...
Obits
I can't believe I'm still saying this in late 2020. Necromancy is illegal!
Only if you get caught
Radix865
As far as I know, it's actually not for most of the world. I mean most of the western world worships a famous necromancer...

At first I was like whoa why doesn't that squirrel have a tail (we don't have chipmunks here) and I then I read the title.
NotTinyPancakes
we dont have squirrels or chipmunks so i saw it and wa slike that rat has a really weird tail
Mueggi3
wow, did we really arrive at the age of "if you don't film it, it's not worth doing"? This doesn't restore faith in humanity at all.
the person didn't save the chipmunk because of the chipmunk's life but because they could upload it and look good.
Also, all it needed, maybe, was help out of the pool. It was alive the whole time & the CPR/"saving it" crap was all for internet points.

So chipmunk was in heaven and you brought it back?
RoutemasterFlash
You never know. It could be a wicked chipmunk who was headed straight for chipmunk-hell, which is now going to mend its ways after being >
given a second chance at life.

nah he was in hell for his many crimes and she gave him a second chance at earning heaven
What makes you so sure that chipmunk wasn't in hell? He could've been a cunt
Haderlump
Never heared about Cuntmunks
GreenAppel
This chipmunk was in torpor I suspect, really cold, but they do that.
It found out way out from 2020 - briefly.
Tim3less
The chip was alive all along. They play dead when threatened, wich is why it rolled on its back when it got caught.
nikiwinterset19820
Op basically tortured a half dead chipmunk
No! You’re just jealous people don’t call YOU a hero!!
Inarticulated
Nah. OP just reposted it.

Chipmunks definitely do not go to heaven.
atheistzombie
Nobody does. It's made up.
Especially not chipmunks
Oh, some people do. It's just that all chipmunks have pre-marital sex and never ever go to church, confess or pray.

That secret isn't supposed to get out until the musical episode.
