He fell ill in one of the deepest caves? That sounds ominous as fuck. What if he found some new bacteria or virus and getting him out is what starts the zombie apocalypse? 😱

Yay he got out!

Cave crawling is akin to mountaineering, in which it shares a lot of techniques. Except with a cave you don't exactly know what is after the odd opening. Ive known some of these people and they are unique. I saw reports that this cave had long vertices, so they had some effort getting him out of there on a stretcher.

Oh no, so he was lost in Erdogan’s wife’s buttcrack? Poor guy!

Why is it that the only insults most men can think of are all insulting or being compared to a woman? It's not 1880 anymore.

I hate the political angle much more - what does Erdogan have to do with this and why does he need to be mentioned in a caving incident?

Can't people just stop inserting their stupid politics into every god damn thread?

"Man drowned in Mississippi" - Well thanks Biden! hurhurhur

So many assumptions here, how old are you?

[–] Sacha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What did I assume, exactly? That you were a man? Was I wrong?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He def gives boomer vibes.

[–] suction@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I’ve often been described as wise for my age.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re bringing your baggage about gender and men and women to a joke about someone’s asscrack being deep as a cave which has no relation to a specific gender at all. Maybe it’s fat shaming if anything. Grow up. This way you won’t even make it to 30 before going to the Koo koo house.

Wow, misogynist, sexist, and ableist, you sure won the lottery of likable traits.

[–] suction@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Now you’re just listing big words you currently apply to stuff, dummy. You’re dumb. I’m wasting my time here

[–] Sacha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Those are big words? Where are you from? Did you receive any education or picked up a book at all in the last 5 years?

In case you don't know what a book is, they are not used for fire kindling like DeSantis would have you believe.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big words for you. Because you're a dummy with zero experience outside of your rural shithole.

[–] Sacha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You really did win the lottery! You are a wonderful man! I see now that you are a fantastic, loving person, with a PhD and masters degree in every subject. Oh how much I envy you and your perfect life. If only I could even grasp for such success.

You must go into educateucstion so you can teach poor, unfortunate backwater yokels like me who are misguided by the belief that women, LGBT, people with physical and mental disorders, minorities, people of different beliefs, people that live in different countries, cities, incomes, and so on should be treated with understanding and respect.

I will be sure to only respect (submit and obey) rich, white, straight, Christian males from now on. You should be proud, for I have sinned and learned my lesson. Thank you so much, my lord! Men should only be insulted only by how undesirable their wives are! After all women are the bane of all evil!

I hope you find love and happiness and a wonderfully lobotomized wife who will never challenge or question you. After all, It is what you rich, white, Christian men like you deserve to have! Please! Throw her into the garbage once she hit 27 and is no longer of value! Thank you Lord! Please, i hope i forget how fo read! All hail DeSantis!

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

By being an internet sperg applying these terms to anything that annoys you, you are doing a disservice to serious people who do work to improve the situation of all those groups you mentioned. I don't know what you're on about 'DeSantis', I'm not on the American continent, I've never stepped on its soil actually, and don't plan to. Stop being such a stereotype, as I said it makes you look dumb.

Good joke
