A Florida sinkhole that killed a man in 2013 opens for a third time
(www.nbcnews.com)
Well, feed it, so it closes again.
Florida demands another sacrifice. I have some ideas on who to throw in.
Into the sand, it is!
If the apocalypse turns out to be sinkholes I’ll be impressed with the universe’s creativity
Donut County was prophetic.
Some one needs to put a big cardboard cut out of a raccoon by that sinkhole.
Interesting thought. All that allows human civilization to exist is a small amount of dirt under each of us at all times.
We are 8 billion sinkholes away from extinction at most. Realistically, since we cluster, you can probably eliminate us with about 80 million.
In case you wonder, the man who was killed, his remains were never found. Future generations exploring the limestone under this location I suppose will find him.
That sinkhole belongs in prison
It was (puts sunglasses on) standing it's ground.
When I was a kid I worried about quicksand. Ahh youth! Now as an adult I can worry about sinkholes.....and quicksand. Omg a sinkhole filled with quicksand!! Like a final level....
Attention billionaires: the really cool thing to do now is explore sinkholes.
Sinkhole 3! This time it's personal.
Thought this was TheOnion for a second 🫠
That is an all too common problem these days
Maybe chuck some tape around it before the fourth time? 🤨
now it’s behind chain-link fencing
This isn't reddit, you're allowed to read the article.
Tape > fence
R/woosh
Ugh. The mole people are escaping again.
its florida so its crab people.
Crabby people
So maybe don’t stand so close to the edge?
Sarlacc is returning...
Invasive species in Florida are really getting out of hand.
I don’t know how anyone affords insurance in Florida or how insurance companies there stay in business…
Well, they're not staying in business there. Farmers just pulled out of Florida because it's a net loss for them to insure anyone there because of the extreme weather changes brought by climate change.
Yep I work in insurance and it’s crazy
Did they try to shoot at it? That seems to be the go-to solution for things in FL these days.
Or make it the governor
