Ah, the Triton Artificial Gills. A crowdfunding marvel that promised to turn us all into Aquaman, before the pesky laws of physics and common sense intervened. Expats here, ever eager for a new way to avoid uncomfortable conversations at the beach bar, actually believed this miracle device would let them chat with the reef fish for 45 glorious minutes. It raised nearly a million dollars before everyone realized it was a scam, but they re-launched anyway.
