Ok, this is really Woodstock. But check back in a day or two!
For those out of the loop, this pic is from one of the 90’s Woodstocks.
They’re also telling attendees to pee in the mud so the toilets don’t overflow since they can’t be emptied… may want to avoid the mud for a bit
Reminiscent of Woodstock 99:
The number of portable toilets installed proved insufficient for the number of attendees. The toilets and showers soon became unusable and overflowing, and male guests resorted to urinating on the side of the toilets or behind vendor stalls. Excrement from the toilets flowed into the mud pits and camping areas, mixing with water from the broken pipes. Many attendees began jumping into the mud pits and water troughs to stay cool in the heat, unaware of the contamination; this led to many cases of trench mouth and trench foot. The Oneida County Health Department analyzed the free drinking water, finding it to be contaminated with E. coli and other bacteria.
trench mouth
Good lord, that's foul.
I was about to wonder if any of them read the recent tough mudder story, guess not.
I'll bet you a soda that there were people infected at that event who went right to the playa. The entire place is gonna be fecal-flavor biohazard gumbo until it dries out, then people will get infected from the dessicated viruses rehydrating in their lungs years from now.
woohoo
mmmmmmmm biohazard gumbo
anything's nearly edible with tabasco sauce....
I don't understand how people can see that multiple times stuff like this happens at these massive festivals, yet they still pay a ton to go to them.
Imagine paying thousands of dollars for this
Still beats paying a quarter million to be killed in the violent implosion of a submersible pressure cooker.
Not if you're suicidal. Death by submarine implosion has got to be one of the best ways to go if you ask me.
~~None of those died instantly~~. Imagine blinking your eyes, knowing that they'll close, then open again. Only your eyes never open again, and you didn't even notice!
Edit: I must have been very tired when I wrote that first sentence. Of course they died instantly!
In other words they died in blink of an eye...
Lol true! Not sure why I wrote that first sentence. I do remember being half asleep. Don't post comments to Lemmy when tired, folks.
At least I’d be dead and not stuck in hippie mudshit hell
Literally my first thought was wondering how much of that is excrement, considering their toilet situation.
So who brought trees to burning man? Is it happening in a different place now?
The post description says it's Woodstock not Burning Man
Whoa I missed that too, thanks
Everyone's got so much hate it's weird, they're probably mostly having a great time, helping each other out, making new friends and all that stuff.
I know it's not everyones cup of tea but that's the great thing about life we all like different things, if we didn't the one thing everyone likes would be super crowded.
Maybe they should practice some self-reliance in a harsh, unforgiving environment, you know, the original intent of this whole thing.
The alkaline in that mud has got to burn.
That a lot of poop
Glastonbury literally every year.
Not judging… looks more like mud wrestling than burning…. Maybe call it “Mud Man?” Just a thought?
That's not burning man lol
Or “surviver”… mud edition?
So many people just got viciously sick in that recent “Tough Mudder” event, turns out there’s a ton of nasties living in the mud that want to make their home in and on you.
So that’s gonna be a permanent no from me, dawg.
Drowning man
MRSA
I didn’t know sheep could walk in the mud
