I rode in the back of a pickup, drank from the garden hose, ate leaded paint chips, huffed leaded gasoline, and got beaten within an inch of my life for not mining enough lead in the lead mines

and I turned out fine!

It’s pretty disgusting that here in 2024 they would still use outdated and inappropriate terms like horsepower and foot-pounds.

That’s true. I chose to trust the text that it was adjustable. I was about to write it but decided not to.

That’s an odd thing to specify. Like, OK, maybe you don’t run a background check because of time or resources, but why put that in the ad?

usualsuspect191 ,

Because it’s a joke ad (doubt it was ever even printed in an actual newspaper)

AgentGrimstone , in Why do it

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

BilboBargains ,

You will never reap the rewards of being trapped under water for hours with that kind of attitude.

Rolando ,

The Eternal Reward, that is.

user224 , (edited )
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

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.

chiliedogg ,

Funny thing is I’m terrified of spelunking, but actively working towards being certified for cave diving.

Fill it with water and I’m interested!

I think part of it is that I can’t get stuck as easily with scuba gear strapped on my back, and I don’t have to worry about gravity fucking me over.

And I’ll never go anywhere that requires squeezing my fat ass through a crack.

electric_nan ,

I can relate. I did some cave diving in Mexico, and it was incredible. Having said that, there are some locations I would dive again, and some I definitely would not.

PopShark ,

Those guys got blessed by the algorithm or something I recognize the channel and video. Don’t know why YouTube decided I would be interested in spelunking but their videos are pretty entertaining at least. Personally I’ll take heights over tight spaces anyday.

UFODivebomb ,

I used to go spelunking… I honestly can’t answer you. Kinda neat but mostly just being in the total dark in a tiny space surrounded by rocks.

On the plus side i can basically fall asleep in an MRI

XTornado ,

I don’t think the main problem to fall sleep in an MRI is the small space.

UFODivebomb ,

True. They are very noisy but the nurses all seem initially concerned with claustrophobia.

Adrenaline.

MeatsOfRage ,

How about this, there’s people that do this underwater. They take the tank off their back, push it out ahead of them. If they get stuck, they don’t have 27 hours to try and figure their shit out, they have a couple hours at best

dejected_warp_core ,

That’s where I draw the line.

Normal spelunking, minimal vertical work, the occasional belly crawl no smaller than a manhole. That’s actually a pretty good time. You get wet, dirty, have a few laughs with your friends, and then shake it off with some beers back at the campsite. No need to go aggressive with ridiculously tight crawls and/or 100’s of feet of vertical work, etc.

Cave diving? Let’s take an activity where it’s very easy to loose track of time, and add SCUBA which requires time management down to the minute for your health and survival. Nevermind getting lost, disoriented, or wedged underwater somewhere. I get that this is very intrepid stuff, and the very distant corners of cave systems are being explored this way. But it’s a big no for me; the risk does not justify the reward, IMO.

HelixDab2 ,

SCUBA is even worse because any movement kicks up sediment, so that visibility quickly turns to nil. Cave diving has a very, very high mortality rate; BASE jumping is safer.

Willer ,

at least in a water cave you die with a predictable speed.

Gork ,

Not to mention unexpected currents that can either smack you against nearby rocks or sweep you further downward in an uncontrolled manner.

Sallp , in Revolutionary free thinker Andrew Tate
@Sallp@lemmy.world avatar

Is he the one that got arrested for human trafficking.

Dagwood222 ,

The funniest part of the story [for me.]

He posted on Twitter about his magnificent car collection, and Greta Thunberg posted back that he was a giant manchild [ or words to that effect] Offended, he got into a flame war. Meanwhile, there’s an NGO called GRETA, which works against trafficking. Someone tells Andy that he’s on GRETA’s radar. Incensed, he posts a video that gives clues to his location. The police use that video to find and arrest him.

If he’d acted like the powerful leader he aspires to be, he would have ignored the posts. Instead, he took the bait and got caught, just like a little fish

dangblingus ,

The reality is, the police knew he was in Romania, and they knew that he owns property in Romania. When you fly into a country, the government knows. He was already under investigation and the arrest just coincidentally synchronized with the pizzabox photo.

fushuan ,

Iirc they knew he was in Romania, but not where in Romania. The pizzabox photo let them call the store to ask the address of the delivery.

amio ,

Greta Thunberg posted back that he was a giant manchild [ or words to that effect] Offended, he got into a flame war.

Quite unlike a giant manchild, of course. True aLpHa BeHaViOr!

Dagwood222 ,

It’s one of the lessons he teaches his students/acolytes; the person who speaks less in a meeting is the one in control. Too bad he couldn’t learn his own lesson.

frezik ,

Wow, I had no idea I was in control so much. As opposed to being invited to meetings I don’t need to be on and have nothing useful to contribute to.

sebinspace ,

You’re leaving out what the evidence was HE DOXXED HIMSELF WITH A PIZZA BOX YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

FakinUpCountryDegen ,

Yeah, it’s comically bad how false the allegations are, tho.

…despite this dude being a fuckwit, he didn’t do any human trafficking.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , (edited ) in BIRDS.

Depends on how the song is interpreted. The intention is probably “by the 𝑛ᵗʰ day of Christmas, my true love had given to me [list of 𝑛+(𝑛–1)+…1 items]” but the actual grammar means that by day 12, you’d have received 𝑛(13–𝑛) of the 𝑛ᵗʰ item, or

  • 12 drummers drumming
  • 22 pipers piping
  • 30 lords-a leaping
  • 36 ladies dancing
  • 40 maids a-milking
  • 42 swans a-swimming
  • 42 geese a-laying
  • 40 gold rings
  • 36 calling birds
  • 30 French hens
  • 22 turtle doves
  • 12 partriges in pear trees

Total is 184 birds. By day 7, only 69 birds, up 50 % from 46 by day 6. At least the number of received birds stays constant (23) on days 8-12. The geese technically-a-reproducing are not accounted for, as the eggs might not be fertilized and take several weeks to hatch.

Also explored in an awesome video by Vihart: YouTube/Piped/Vimeo

BluesF ,

Oh damn I did not know Vihart was still going! Tis a good day.

funkless_eck ,

does each maid come with a cow (or goat) they are milking? within a month (35 days) some of those goose eggs will hatch too.

Artyom ,

Curse you Carl Friedrich Gauss and your distribution! Is there no escape?!?

ChaoticNeutralCzech , (edited )

It’s a parabola actually, the function is –𝑛²+13𝑛.

The reason Gauss is mentioned in Vihart’s video is that he famously invented the formula for triangular numbers.
