I've seen too many memes as of late. I really thought this would have been Saddam Hussein without reading this first.
Heres one to add to your collection. Its a bit old but still kinda amusing.
Exploring a cave is great, but I sure as fuck wouldn't try crawling down a tiny hole going down at a 70 degree angle. Some spelunkers are straight nuts though, like they get to the end of a cave and say "wow, the wind is whistling through here!" and try expanding small openings with a hammer and chisel or even explosives. I went caving one time in a well known but very long cave, with experienced people, and that was really interesting. When i got back I read my friend's cave incident journal, which details all the rescues and deaths that happened in the last year, and it was... interesting. Shit like "oh, jimmy got stuck, so we had to break his ribs to get him out". Great.
According to Wikipedia:
Jones and three others had left their party in search of "The Birth Canal", a tight but navigable passageway with a turnaround at the end. Jones entered an unmapped passageway which he wrongly believed to be the Canal and found himself at a dead end, with nowhere to go besides a narrow vertical fissure. Believing this to be the turnaround, he entered head-first and became wedged upside-down.
This hole was made for me
That's what she said
Just in case you're not getting the reference, the full comic for your reading pleasure.
In fairness, after I got bottom surgery I got a lot of laughs with that line.
.... drr drr drr ....
If anyone wants some nightmare fuel, here's what happened.
I searched for an watched a YouTube video about it......and I regret it immensely.
I can’t wait for someone in 2077 to make a documentary about this by plagiarizing an article that goes hour by hour.
I have a feeling that someone will later make a 4-hour-long video essay calling them out for it
My god, my stomach hurts and my chest feels tight just from reading that. I went to Cave of the winds in Colorado a few years back and they had a smaller tunnel that you could crawl through to get a sense of what it was like. It was probably like 20ft long and big enough for the pretty hefty guide to get through. I got up to it and noped the fuck out.
Fun Fact: They never got him out, they sealed the cave with his body still there. Nutty Putty Cave is his grave.
Nutty Putty Cave is his Nutty Putty Grave sounds better for whatever reason.
Brave people push boundaries so that less brave people can read things in books.
Edit: I assume the people downvoting this obvious truth think I'm calling them cowards. I assure you I will be right there with you curled up reading books about caving. Fuck all that.
Brave people push boundaries, stupid people purposely shove their entire bodies into a hole and die
Well, yes, but you can be brave and take precautions at the same time. He wouldn't have died if he'd followed proper caving guidelines.
I remember seeing a video of a dude exploring a cave and he was crawling through some narrow ass space tighter than under my bed. Why would one want to do this??? What if it was a dead end? How tf are you gonna turn around? Crawl backwards? I just can't with any of this
You will never reap the rewards of being trapped under water for hours with that kind of attitude.
I've seen such video. The dude struggled to move because he just barely fit in enough to still be able to breathe. There was water in there, and he said he has to return because it's starting to fill with water.
Fill with water? Nope. Nope. Why would I go in such space.
Edit: Maybe this could be it: https://youtu.be/6Yf0gDzUMFA
I mean, the moment you see a passage that barely fits a child and you think to yourself "Hey, I should get in there!", you're just aiming to be the year's winner of the Darwin Awards.
It's what I think on the rare occasions I get a look at my wife's genitalia.
I love to watch caving videos: much better for someone younger and foolhardier than me to actually do the climbing and clambering with their gopros. I'll continue to enjoy things like air, vast open spaces, and vicarious experiences.
People take a lot of safety precautions now, reasonably, but every once in a while the cavers on YT will do something just stupid and it baffles me. "The water's ice cold and up to my nostrils, but I really want to see where this tunnel goes! Going to turn my lamp and camera off for now to save battery, see you in a few hours!"
Thank you for making me claustrophobic in my biggest room.
Well then you dont wanna hear bout my recurring dream about being burried alive unable to move my arm enough to protect my face from the rats gnawing at me
This photo gave me the heebee geebees... I'm left asking why and do I have claustrophobia now as a result?
Spelunking is great fun when you prepare properly.
Squeezes are not advisable.
Hey spelunking is perfectly normal for anyone, spelunk all you want in the privacy of your own home. Just dont go into caves.
God I hate the idea of that being your last days... Why do people just purposely wander deep into caves?
Nutty Putty Cave jesus who the hell names these caves?
Nutty putty people
What I don’t get is neither path is very deep, so shining a light would reveal both dead ends. Can’t think of a worse way to go tho. And the fear and panic realizing you’re doomed.
