Im not Saddam Hussein so I wouldnt be in that situation
My brain is fried. I thought this was the Saddam Hussein meme.
- Nope. One of the most horrifying stories ever meme.
I sleep like a baby knowing the risk of this happening to me is 0%
At the risk of whooshing, what does this have to do with being black or not?
- Black people typically don't do stupid shit like climbing into tiny caves.
  
  Didn't a bunch of miners just die in South Africa in a likely similar situation?
  
  I think doing stupid shit is a universal experience.
Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?
- But this hole was made for me!
  
  😭
  
  Drr drr dr
- Exploring beginner friendly caves is really cool. But tight passages like this and the nutty putty cave one are absolutely terrifying, and I want nothing to do with it.
  
  This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.
  
  The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.
  
  My first and only cave experience was with a friend who had done the tunnel before so he knew where it went and was safe. It was slightly wider than my shoulders and started with climbing a rope up into the tunnel from a river and ended with a T intersection.
- Yeah, choose SCUBA spelunking like a real daredevil!
  
  Wingsuit base SCUBA spelunking
  
  scuba is waaay less dangerous. if your shit fails you can surface (depending on depth of course) the bends aint fun
- No one calls it spelunking who actually does it, at least in USA
  
  I won't cave to peer pressure, and will always call it spelunking.
  
  what do they call it, "Get stuck in impossibly tiny hole upside down and die"?
  
  Good thing we aren't in the USA then.
  
  It’s not lame enough, let’s also not call it by the cool name
What would Saddam Hussein do?
- He'd say "It was made for me! This is my hole!", and climb in.
  
  The dialogue actually goes the other way, because manga panels (and speech bubbles and texts inside) are read right to left.
Average gambler IQ be like, "just one more cm bro"
Probably die.

Not a great way to go.
There are wine caves and cheese caves. I could spend several lifetimes exploring those.

Otherwise, no thank you.
Hoping I die from something else
Athletic thrill seekers come in all skin colors 🌈
Just pull yourself to your side and climb down
Never go into the cave
- I don't even go to places where a cave is a option!
Easy, I’d prevent myself from being in that situation. What would you do, order a pizza?
