Nutty Putty Cave
Dang didn't realize that's what it was referencing
That's the only thing that makes me not want to reshare this image. What a horrible way to die.
My wife shared me a meme from that image and I asked her if she knew its origin. Let me tell you, she got really sand and guilty about it.
Gritty or fine?
Coarse
Oh noooooooooooo
I don't remember the name but it's a depiction of a cave explorer that got stuck like that and died. While there was help at the place to try and get him out they couldn't. If I remember correctly he's still stuck in that same place.
From the Wikipedia article:
Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access.
This is how the Nutty Putty Cave became the Nutty Putty Grave.
Already perfectly placed
Sisyphus I'll give you $5 to roll that rock back down right now
aaaaanyway, ladies and gentlemen- we got him.
That "Mission Accomplished" banner still pisses me off.
yeah, it was tone deaf at best, and an outright lie in reality lol
These State of Survival ads are getting weird...er
needs a trolly problem
I recognize the Plato shadows on a wall ref and someone commented about Sisyphus. Obviously, Saddam was in a hole. What's the rest? Looks like pick-axe people are part of a 2d video game. I don't get anything other than what I've described.
The pick-axe is a "motivational" meme about don't giving up, because the diamonds could be just around.
Grey downward facing body is from nutty putty cave
That story is horrifying
The gray silhouette in the hole is a nutty putty cave reference. It's pretty horrifying. Tl;dr version, cave exlorer gets so stuck it's actually impossible to remove him.
The caption is a reference to "The myth of sisyphus" by Albert Camus. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Good book.
if the books is any good is the title just clickbait?
That one is a pretty deep reference.
Its missing the vietcongs
Thanks for sharing OP, I hadn't seen the original concept art of Fallout Shelter before.
How long did he lay in that hole? Like was that his whole life at that point? Laying in a hole?
Lol can't find me
It's missing the Taliban hiper technological caves
