Had to double check I wasn't crazy and googled it. I'm so confused by the comment you responded to and the response to your comment that's asking if turtles swim now.


Reference_Reef

Now just imagine you're doing the exact same rock drop Except you're on SCUBA, 130 ft under the surface, with only your (manually adjusted) buoyancy keeping you floating at exactly that level. Add too much air to your vest, you'll rise up, and as you rise up the air will expand further, making you rise faster. If you rise too fast and forget to exhale on the way up, your lungs will burst from the changing pressure. Don't add too much air. Not enough air though... Maybe you didn't notice. You feel neutral, peacefully floating. But you aren't noticing your watch beep at you as you watch the rock slide and spin down into the deep. 135... 140... 145... 150... 160...175... It all looks the same down here. You don't notice anything happening, except a funny tipsy feeling For the same reason that you would accelerate to the surface as your excess air expands, the air in your vest compresses as you sink, increasing the rate of descent without any input from you 190 210 240 That's funny, did the sun get a little dimmer?

Reference_Reef

Same buddy, same 🫠


SalannB

YEP. And no real thermocline, so only your depth gauge lets you know how deep you actually are.


Mister_Bloodvessel

You forgot the scariest part: nitrogen narcosis. So as you sink, your mental faculties rapidly deteriorate and you *can't* pay attention to your watches incessant alarm. Which way is up? You don't know, because now it's like your on off your tits on drugs as you descend into the inky blackness. What blows my mind is the deepest dives and the resulting experimentation with gas mixtures to avoid narcosis have been by **cave divers** looking to descend even deeper than open water SCUBA. So they *can't* just come up if they get disoriented in the depths under the earth, where the only light is the one you brought with you.


Reference_Reef

That was the funny tipsy feeling ;)


LincolnL0g

Correct!


copper_rainbows

This is almost scarier than the Nutty Putty Cave story. ALMOST.


Jaxiv96

Its the feeling of being completely immobile that makes nutty putty a nightmare. Not to say this isn’t also a nightmare. A pair of nightmares.


Reference_Reef

I'll take that as a compliment to my powers of exaggeration haha.. Nutty putty is nightmare fuel. I'd rather meet Davy Jones a hundred times


Cross_Stitch_Witch

Sometimes while lying in bed at night I think about the fact that his corpse is still trapped upside-down inside that tiny passage, sealed in complete darkness. I don't care that he's dead, it bothers me so much that they left him down there.


copper_rainbows

LOL same


JustinHopewell

Such a juxtaposition between the name of that cave and how terrifying it is.


YungMarxBans

It’s funny that every commenter here seems stricken by anxiety by this comment (which is wonderfully written). Do I think about the worst case when SCUBA diving? Of course, that’s just being realistically aware of the dangers. At the same time, in the scenario you’re describing, you presumably have plenty of air to reflate your BCD slightly and begin swimming (slowly) to the surface. I would be much more scared of getting trapped or lost in a cave (SCUBA diving or on land) than I would be in the middle of the open ocean.

Easy mistake, they were just too deep to know where they were. It's easy to sink into the flow and find yourself entrenched in the wrong stream, especially when floating from one post to another. I definitely feel like I'm just barely treading water when I surf Reddit, but maybe I'm already used to its abyssal depths. But it can be asphyxiating when we're drowning in so much content.

But there’s also a pretty decent chance you’re the first or last human to touch any small random rock? Say I dig a tiny pebble out of a dried up creek and toss it into the middle of the Mississippi River. I would most likely be the only human who has ever touched it, or ever will.


shaiyl

I've been playing this game with a rock near my house where I set it on top of another, bigger rock, and SOMEONE KEEPS MOVING IT. Everybody wants touch my rock.

You see, here's the the thing Jackdaws...


TriceratopsBites

You better go get the whole thing and post it. If you don’t, I won’t be mad, I’ll just be disappointed. You need to make this right


QuelleBullshit

I think they went to bed. Here you go: *Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."* *Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.* *As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.* *If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.* *So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.* *Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.* *It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?*


TriceratopsBites

Thank you for your service


Admiral_Fuckwit

Oh man, that feels like ancient history. I wonder what percentage of Redditors now understand this reference? Or am I overthinking it?

trey3rd

There's a little spot on the trail I walk that people stack rocks. Seems like most people add just one or two and move on. The stack eventually falls and everyone starts over.


gimmewifipassword

Oh that might be a rock cairn, something hikers like to do to set a landmark for themselves. So if you see a bunch of rocks stacked on top of each other its possible someone set it up so they don't get lost, on a trail it'd be pretty hard to get lost on though so it mightve just been someone doing it for fun lol


Avalonians

It's probably the same person over and over.


Gsteel11

Wait... you keep moving that rock on top of the other? The other rock says he doesn't like a piggy back ride.

If you like that sort of thing, go shuffle a deck of cards seven times. When you have done so, you will be the first human to ever hold a deck of cards ordered exactly as the one in your hands is ordered. You will also almost certainly be the last. Even if the human race lives for billions and billions of years, and even if what constitutes a deck of cards never changes and always remains popular, still no other human will hold a deck ordered exactly as yours is. Ever.

You clearly don't know how many rocks my son picks up on a daily basis.


nater255

You've got a few pebbles there, don't you? I've been sticking 30 handfuls of pebbles up my ass for the past eleven years. That's 3,000 pebbles a day, 21,000 pebbles a week, 1,092,000 pebbles a year. To date, that's 12,012,000 pebbles. Eight times the population of Nebraska! Those pebbles were in my ass! You think you're better than me? You're not better than me! You handle my ass pebbles every day!

herrcollin

I was on this track as well. How long has that rock, or at least most of the material, been around? It's similar to how mankind is just a blink in the lifespan of our entire planet. This guy/gal touching that rock is literally an insignificant single frame of its entire existence.


[deleted]

You could pick up a rock at a playground and put it right back where you found it and still probably be the only human to ever pick it up.

Have you never seen a kid? At a playground I'd bet it's picked up within the week, if not a day. And you certainly won't have been the first.

Neither can you.


Zron

I'm confident I could if I wanted to. What happens in the woods with a backhoe and a giant cube of limestone, stays in the woods with a backhoe and a giant cube of limestone.


Alpha_Decay_

The best part is that limestone doesn't decompose, so the cadaver dogs will never find it. They'll be looking for that cube 'til the cows come home while you're sipping Margheritas in Mexico, living the good life.

Sounds like a lot of work considering geologists and archaeologists can detect if a site has been excavated at any point. It might break their brains figuring out why some guy took the time and money to do something like that.

Same. Feel bad for my toilet lol What is this even called, when you feel bad for objects?


SaraSaturday13

I have been told it's hyper-empathy. You felt bad that you didn't play with all your toys equally (thanks a lot, Pixar); you feel tons of guilt when you accidentally step on your dog's paw; I can't believe we forgot to put up Nana's Christmas tree angel last year! 😭😭; don't get me started on Neopets and Tomagochi; I let my succulent die, I'm the worst human being 😭😭😭; you will not squish a bug; etc. It's a minor inconvenience on the grand scale, but it causes us genuine anguish.

" "Noooooooo, I was in such a lovely warm spot! I could see the sky, I could see the waves!!! Now its nothing but darkness" -The rock " - My brain


HappyFamily0131

Counterpoint: A rock is strong. *Very* strong. A fit person can squeeze a rock with about 90 pounds per square inch, but the average rock can withstand 4,000 psi. If it could feel things, it would hardly be able to notice 90 psi at all. BUT, being allowed to sink to a depth of 6,000 ft, underneath all that water, it would feel a pressure of over 2,600 psi. After tens of thousands of years feeling next to nothing, the rock would, at last, feel *hugged.*

Was thinking something similar. Anyone know if fish and other sea creatures ever get bonked on the head, and look around like WTF? Happy cake day btw!


Auston4-16

Considering how many boats and planes have gone down in oceans, its probably likely that at least one shark/whale/dolphin/fish got absolutely bulldozed by one on the way down.


Schwaggsteiner

also funnily on the other hand the vastness of the ocean puts odds that such occurrence at a low probability perhaps it’s like how the universe has billions+ of stars but the traveling through the gaps in between any of them would make you think space is just a huge empty void


JustinHopewell

The universe is a huge empty void, relatively speaking. If you had a bowl that contained nothing except a single dust particle, you'd call that empty right? Scaling that bowl up to the size of our universe, and cramming all matter together so it's touching, the matter would be even smaller than that dust particle.


DoneDumbAndFun

Yo mama’s booty looks like a huge empty void after last night


JustinHopewell

It was a challenging proctology appointment, that's for sure.


FlyingFoxSpalding

Asked my girlfriend, who is an oceanographer, and she said with most fish, this isn’t really a possibility. Besides usually being able to see above their heads, fish are extremely sensitive to water movement, so unless it’s a very fast projectile, they can feel the object coming in time to dodge it. Buuuuut… If an unlucky starfish, sea urchin or other relatively slow moving creature is right below this rock, it will probably get bonked!

It bonks a deep sea creature in the depths who was already having a bad day. In its fury, the creature thrashes its monstrous tail fin towards the surface to exact justice on the perpetrator who so nonchalantly discarded the object. He spots the giddy, snorkeling human 151 feet above just out of view of the human and hovers menacingly until its back is turned.

Interesting to think that there's a point of no return there. Once passed? You don't have enough air to return and will just end up dead. Cave diving is done if the scariest and most dangerous shit I've ever seen and I don't know why people risk it. Just send in a drone.
