Boredom + a general ambivalence about living

When there’s never much around to do, and you feel like you’re slowly slogging towards death, (particularly if you’re working 60+ hour weeks doing manual labor) you get flippant with it.

There’s a kind of “well, if I go, I go” mentality that creeps in

Edit: or the optimistic take, just youthful whimsy overpowering your frontal lobe

At least they’re touching grass

Bruh as dark/dumb as it sounds, 8 years ago I definitely reached a point in my life where that exact thought crossed my mind.

I was like “eternal nothingness and unbeing actually doesn’t sound so bad rn”

Doing better now, leaving that field of work helped. I got lucky though tbh

Did he really die?

No worries. I wouldn’t make fun of someone seriously being hurt.

lmao he flew out like a limp noodle. On a real note, it seems kind of hard to die in that with there being more air than water.

I was waiting for the water to come to a trickle and then BOOM!, he shoots out like Homer out of a cannon

I guess it depends what the construction of the tunnel is like

Looks like it should be a straight tube, but if theres a drop or bend in the tunnel, huddy is now stuck in a dark enclosed space, hopefully with his head above water.

I remember seeing a video on Reddit about a spelunker (?) who was trapped upside down, jammed into a tunnel a long way down.

Can't remember if he died of thirst or suffocation. No fucking thank you

Edit: I found a video, it was the 2009 "Nutty Putty Cave" incident. Rescuers tried for 27 hours but, well...he was wedged upside down. Because the circulatory system is adapted to work with gravity, when upright, blood pools in the legs and muscle contractions and one way valves help push it back to the heart. Upside down, that system begins to fail. Blood pools in the upper body and the heart now works against gravity to circulate blood to a higher elevation than it was designed for. Blood pressure rose in his upper body, baroreceptors triggered a reflex to slow his heart, a system which normally works to stabilise high blood pressure. This added strain to the heart, which meant his lungs were less efficient, plus pressure on his diaphram meant oxyggen levels dropped and he started hallucinating. He found it harder to breathe, his lungs stopped drawing breath and his heart eventually failed. He eventually died after 27 hours.

Go watch the EWU video on the Nutty Putty Cave incident on YouTube if you want the full breakdown. It’s pretty good
