"Nah I don't want to go. You have fun though" rule

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.

Probably die.
Not a great way to go.

My brain is fried. I thought this was the Saddam Hussein meme.
- Nope. One of the most horrifying stories ever meme.

God yeah caving is such a bad idea unless it's already confirmed safe to be in. In addition to the well-publicized risk of getting stuck in a pocket with the blood pooling to your head, you've got collapses and cave-ins, wild animals, noxious gasses, lack of air circulation, there are so many reasons not to go into a cave you don't already know is safe.

Just pull yourself to your side and climb down

Athletic thrill seekers come in all skin colors 🌈

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?

Hoping I die from something else

Im not Saddam Hussein so I wouldnt be in that situation

I sleep like a baby knowing the risk of this happening to me is 0%

There are wine caves and cheese caves. I could spend several lifetimes exploring those.
Otherwise, no thank you.

Average gambler IQ be like, "just one more cm bro"

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.

What's thus got to with gambling?
