A recent Imgur video titled "Relationship goals" has taken the internet by storm. The video captures a playful moment in what appears to be a backyard pool, sparking a wave of laughter and commentary online. The clip begins with an individual exclaiming, "What is down here? What is that? That's freaking me out. I thought I was being attacked." The situation quickly escalates when it becomes clear that someone’s swim trunks have mysteriously dissolved, leaving them exposed.

One of the most memorable lines from the video is, "Do you not have underwear on?" This question has puzzled many viewers, prompting comments like, "Why would she ask 'do you not have underwear on?' like that's a thing you're supposed to do...??" Another viewer humorously pointed out, "Who the hell wears underwear under your swimming suit? and why the hell would you?!"

The video has also drawn comparisons to classic tales and pop culture, with one user dubbing it "The Emperor's New Swimtrunks." Another user nostalgically recalled, "I remember when this was a plot device on The Bold And The Beautiful." Some viewers even noted a celebrity resemblance, asking, "Anyone else think he sounds just like Jeff Bridges or is it just me?" and "Are you perhaps married to Jeff Bridges?"

The prank itself has been lauded for its creativity and harmless fun. One user shared a personal story, "My wife's cousin's girlfriend did this to him in the ocean, when the family was out swimming off of his boat. It was playful, and the video caught it all. :-) These things are great pranks, in the right company." However, some viewers raised concerns about consent, with one asking, "Did he give prior consent?"

The video has also sparked a debate about swimwear choices. Comments ranged from, "Those long trunks are ridiculous, especially in your own home's pool," to "Briefs (speedos) are superior in any water activity." Another viewer humorously added, "Now you have to deal with the Loch Ness Willie!"

As the video continues to gain popularity, it has inspired others to replicate the prank, with comments like, "Nice. Now do the same to her," and "More fun at the public pool." For those interested in trying out the prank themselves, one user inquired, "And where do I get these?"

Overall, this video has not only provided a good laugh but also set "Back yard goals" for many. It is a perfect example of how a simple and harmless prank can bring people together, even if it results in an "Unintentional skinny dip ftw!" The clip has truly captured the essence of light-hearted fun and relationship goals.

To split a hair, looks more like the thread dissolves. Big chunks of fabric floating in there.
