“Don’t open your eyes Marion!”

This is an absolutely epic article from the BBC.

weeoooweeooo,

My favorite part:

“I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?” Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.

rynzcycle,

"Uh, hi, yeah. Do you guys get paid for this?"

TubeTalkerX,

What kind of mud was it?

SpaceNoodle,

Old

Tankaus,

Fascinating.

Phew

bradorsomething, to mildlyinteresting in A muddy reveal for mysterious West point time capsule from 1820s

Those scamps at East Point have done it again.

Tylerdurdon, to mildlyinteresting in A muddy reveal for mysterious West point time capsule from 1820s

But it’s old mud. You can squish it between your fingers just like they did in 1829. Kinda reminds me of the whole Geraldo Rivera and Jimmy Hoffa’s vault it whatever it was.

Kbin_space_program,

It'll also be slightly-less-radioactive mud without the dust from nuclear weapons on it.

It’s probably soil that has some symbolic meaning for the dead guy of the statue.

Yay he got out!

suction, to upliftingnews in Mark Dickey: US explorer freed from one of Turkey's deepest caves

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

choroalp,

Good joke

Sacha,

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.

suction,

So many assumptions here, how old are you?

Sacha,

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

Dkarma,

He def gives boomer vibes.

suction,

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

suction,

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.

Sacha,

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

suction, (edited )

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

Sacha,

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,

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

Sacha,

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,

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.

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?

    He was doing research work and he wasn’t stuck because of carelessness, he was stuck because he unfortunately got sick during the expedition.

    He wasn’t just being stupid though, he was part of a team mapping out new parts of the cave.

    Rusty_Red,

    Yeah this is more along the lines of “researcher working with multinational team falls ill in remote cave” more than “dumb american does dumb thing and needs rescue”. Man started throwing up blood and fell into a 3 day semiconciousness at which point he needed rescue.

    metaStatic,

    "Dumb American Does Dumb Thing In Dumb Cave, Needs Taxpayer Funded Rescue"

    if I hadn't accidentally seen a news segment with him I'd be on the same page. The headlines never point out the work he was doing.

    tsz,

    Yeah I’m ok with tax money going to saving lives.

    You can just say you haven't actually read about what happened

    and Elon didn't call any of the rescuers pedophiles ... yet

    Rapidcreek, to upliftingnews in Mark Dickey: US explorer freed from one of Turkey's deepest caves

    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.

    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? 😱

    Vodik_VDK, to privacyguides in Inside the deadly instant loan app scam that blackmails with nudes

    I do not get how people get blackmailed with their own nudes.

    Like, who gives a shit? I see myself naked all the time. And now you have as well, blackmailer, so if anything I should be getting money from you.

    ChaoticNeutralCzech,

    Those weren’t nudes of herself, just of her photoshopped on someone else’s body.

    Do you think a fake bank app would ask for nudes for verification purposes?

    KevonLooney,

    Indian society is nuts:

    She has been ostracised by neighbours in the community she has lived in for 40 years.

    “As of today, I have no friends. It’s just me I guess,” she says with a sad chuckle.

    Some of her family still don’t speak to her. And she constantly wonders whether the men she works with are picturing her naked.

    A picture of your head photoshopped on some chick’s body? Why is that embarrassing for anyone over the age of 13? I would just assume they were hacked. It’s embarrassing for whoever sent it.

    puppy,

    Sadly common worldview among societies with “culture and history”. Ironically this culture of monogamy and being so sexually prude is a result of Western colonisation. These are Christian ideals, not necessarily the ideals of Buddhism or Hinduism (Remember Temples of Kama Sutra, anyone?). While the colonies have stuck with 1800s, the colonisers have moved on.

    Frog-Brawler,
    @Frog-Brawler@kbin.social avatar

    That means the issue is the culture, not photoshop.

    Lemongrab,
    @Lemongrab@lemmy.one avatar

    I can ruin your reputation or be used in conjuction with other social engineering techniques to eicit fear. It is also very intimate and personal, and shows a private side of your person that may not be intended for others. Examples of threats could be sending them to in-laws, emoyeers, your whole office, the school were your kids attend. Even without any really intention of distributing it, the threat is enough.

    Vodik_VDK,

    Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.

    Lemongrab,
    @Lemongrab@lemmy.one avatar

    While i agree in the idea of destigmatizing sex, consent (or lack there of) is a key part in why this is so traumatic, without even considering the negative and wrongfully directed anger often targeted at the victim by their community.

    nevernevermore,

    yeah having your bodily autonomy removed for any reason is a traumatic experience.

    flicker,

    Remembering this from Community.

    "It's Vietnam!" And he laughed. They had no idea what they were in for.

    Thorned_Rose,
    @Thorned_Rose@kbin.social avatar

    I agree. I call myself a closet naturist because I'm all for the human body just being a human body and not ridiculously hyper-sexualised. But I'm also a sexual abuse survivor and that same hyper-sexualisation makes me very wary and anxious around people who are not also naturists.
    I've been assaulted way too many times WITH clothes on to trust the general population who can't comprehend that a naked body =/= sex and an open invitation.

    520,

    Now imagine said nudes being sent to your mum, your employer, your kids, etc, and the knock-on effect it might have on your life.

    That is why they pay.

    doingthestuff,

    I have this crazy strategy that has been working so far: I don’t take any nudes.

    520,

    Add 'dont use your computer or phone while naked' to the list. Spyware riddled machines with webcams can also be how these nudes come about.

    smeg,

    Did you read the article at all? They’re faked, but that’s still enough to cause harm.

    elbarto777,

    If they’re fake, then I won’t care. But of course, like it was said elsewhere, I live in a place where nude pictures are, at most, an embarrassment and not a threat to my life or physical wellbeing.

    520,

    You won't care, but your employer might, to the point where they fire you. Your partner might, to the point where they leave you. Your overbearing family members might, to the point where they put out an 'honour killing' hit on you, or do the deed themselves.

    puppy,

    He/she already said it. It is not a problem in the country/society he lives in. “Just an embarrassment”, they said.

    520,

    Like I just pointed out, 'something embarrassing' can have much dire consequences when put in the wrong hands.

    It only has to go to someone with no chill and they will make the problems. The place they live in might be chill, but that doesn't mean there will be zero consequences.

    puppy,

    I live in a place where nude pictures are, at most, an embarrassment

    What part of above sentence don’t you understand? If their society (neighbours, employers, friends and family etc.) doesn’t care about nudity, what kind of dire consequences can you have in the wrong hands? If they were photoshopped into doing something illegal, it’s not something that can be avoided at all. So you “caring” doesn’t work either.

    520,

    It only has to go to someone with no chill and they will make the problems.

    What part of the above sentence don't you understand?

    If their society (neighbours, employers, friends and family etc.) doesn’t care about nudity, what kind of dire consequences can you have in the wrong hands?

    The problem there is that you are assuming that literally everyone in their lives is chill with this kind of thing. Maybe that is true if you spend your entire life in one particular bubble that happens to accept nudity, but that is true of basically no one. There is always at least one prude that would try to raise hell in the name of Christianity or some other such religion or other shit.

    Vodik_VDK,

    My mum

    Well she’d know how my transition is going.

    My employer

    Doesn’t seem professional for my employer to be looking at such things. Shame on them.

    My kids

    I don’t have kids but if they were underage then that’s a mail-ordered crate of ACME-brand Yikes bad ideas.

    (I want to be clear that, even if I am a Dingus, I’m only one who is shitposting.)

    520,

    And such quality shitposting too!

    IWantToFuckSpez,

    It’s India not Denmark you dingus. It doesn’t matter if you don’t care, other people care they will ostracize you or worse see it as an excuse to rape you. Like many women get raped in India for simply breaking social norms like traveling without a male chaperone.

    curiousaur,

    Then maybe we should be addressing those behaviors?

    jbrains, (edited )

    Yes.

    Your house is burning. You should be replacing the building materials with something much less flammable, but in the meantime, maybe you might be wise to pour some water on the fire.

    codblopsii,

    DINGUS!

    dangblingus, to privacyguides in Inside the deadly instant loan app scam that blackmails with nudes

    I cant imagine the pain and suffering this is causing people.

    I also dont understand why so many people trust their smartphone or 3rd party cloud services to keep their nudes secure.
