Dude, when humans die, they decompose, leaving behind a skull and bones.

Yep. And what happens with those remains? They get buried, often with valuables - treasure! This must be a grave, let's dig it up!

Whoops, your "universal sign of danger" just attracts people.

It's highly arrogant and insulting for you to think any other culture wouldn't be capable of drawing that connection.

Oh, how lucky are we to have you in our midst, who - without any research or evidence - just happened to know much better than people who have researched this.

Your arrogance is showing. It's embarrassing for you that you don't see it.

"i'Ve ReSeArChEd ThIs, trust me bro" oh yeah, and I suppose that means you've encountered a culture that doesn't understand the meaning of the skull and crossbones, since you're sooo confident they would think it means treasure?

By the way, pirates didn't mark their treasure with the symbol; that would be stupid. They displayed it on their ships to instill fear in their victims before boarding.

I haven't researched this, scientists have.

I don't think it's possible for me to communicate with you. You're literally too dense to understand that other people don't have the same cultural background and could interpret symbols differently.
