I'll play my smallest violin.

Burning man was a cool concept 15years ago. Now its a trustifarian party for jetsetters in private jets to have ketamine fueled orgies. I could give a shit about burning man or any burners at this point.

[–] lung 72 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah man I agree ketamine makes for boring orgies. Idk why these people insist on it. I'll be like "okay let's start washing off all the layers of sunscreen and dust" and the middle aged tech HR with two kids will be like "hold on I have to load my special ketamine bullet (that I purchased in Goa) with my veterinary K that I got from mexico" before doing half a line of coke to balance it out. Calvin Klein they call it

"No worries if I k-hole" she said with a wink before passing the fuck out. Then the main orgy coordinator couldn't get hard so he makes his wife wear a strap on. Eventually 18 different cops show up because one guy was smoking pot in the back of the circus tent

Why could you give a shit?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Do you have a time traveling violin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeh I've said in other threads I went 25 years ago and 8 years ago. Big difference. Burners are lame IMO. I avoid them and they seem to want to latch on more...

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 year ago (7 children)

They’re also telling attendees to pee in the mud so the toilets don’t overflow since they can’t be emptied… may want to avoid the mud for a bit

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Reminiscent of Woodstock 99:

The number of portable toilets installed proved insufficient for the number of attendees. The toilets and showers soon became unusable and overflowing, and male guests resorted to urinating on the side of the toilets or behind vendor stalls. Excrement from the toilets flowed into the mud pits and camping areas, mixing with water from the broken pipes. Many attendees began jumping into the mud pits and water troughs to stay cool in the heat, unaware of the contamination; this led to many cases of trench mouth and trench foot. The Oneida County Health Department analyzed the free drinking water, finding it to be contaminated with E. coli and other bacteria.

trench mouth

Good lord, that's foul.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was about to wonder if any of them read the recent tough mudder story, guess not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'll bet you a soda that there were people infected at that event who went right to the playa. The entire place is gonna be fecal-flavor biohazard gumbo until it dries out, then people will get infected from the dessicated viruses rehydrating in their lungs years from now.

woohoo

Imagine paying thousands of dollars for this

[–] superduperenigma 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Still beats paying a quarter million to be killed in the violent implosion of a submersible pressure cooker.

[–] deus 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not if you're suicidal. Death by submarine implosion has got to be one of the best ways to go if you ask me.

I just gagged a little. So gross!!

[–] Lifecoach5000 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For real? Where did you hear this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On one of the news casts I watched. No one can drive in and out right now and that includes the trucks that empty the bathrooms which are quickly filling up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Literally my first thought was wondering how much of that is excrement, considering their toilet situation.

For those out of the loop, this pic is from one of the 90’s Woodstocks.

[–] money_loo 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So many people just got viciously sick in that recent “Tough Mudder” event, turns out there’s a ton of nasties living in the mud that want to make their home in and on you.

So that’s gonna be a permanent no from me, dawg.

[–] Fedizen 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How much of that is mud and how much is human shit?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago
[–] chemical_cutthroat 6 points 1 year ago

Enough to make you believe there is mud on the ground.

[–] FlyingSquid 20 points 1 year ago

I really like being clean. That looks like a nightmare to me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So who brought trees to burning man? Is it happening in a different place now?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The post description says it's Woodstock not Burning Man

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Whoa I missed that too, thanks

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Everyone's got so much hate it's weird, they're probably mostly having a great time, helping each other out, making new friends and all that stuff.

I know it's not everyones cup of tea but that's the great thing about life we all like different things, if we didn't the one thing everyone likes would be super crowded.

[–] MargotRobbie 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe they should practice some self-reliance in a harsh, unforgiving environment, you know, the original intent of this whole thing.

feels like this pic was taken in 1969 too

[–] thorbot 3 points 1 year ago

Because it was

Cue spooky music

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Glastonbury literally every year.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The alkaline in that mud has got to burn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not judging… looks more like mud wrestling than burning…. Maybe call it “Mud Man?” Just a thought?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Or “surviver”… mud edition?
