That's right Heather, it's complete pandemonium now as zombies and robots vie for control of the main mud pit. Now over to Skip with Sports.

There are Twitter, I mean X feeds saying that Rodan has arrived and is eating burners, choosing to spit out the ones with dreadlocks because they get stuck in his teeth Hedorah the Smog Monster is upending the portapotties like CrackerJack boxes and eating whatever is inside, be it sewage, burners, or mud The Gargantuas have taken separate paths, the Brown Gargantua is allegedly participating in rave parties while the Green Gargantua is consuming whatever Hedorah tosses over his shoulder, be it sewage, burners, or mud

Do you guys think the playa dust that causes chemical burns might be a problem for all the people dancing around naked in the mud?Burningman.org posted:PLAYA FOOT is a malady unique to the Black Rock Desert caused by the alkali dust that makes up the desert. It is, in essence, a chemical burn. The most common cause of playa foot is exposure of your feet to the desert floor by not wearing socks and closed shoes. While this malady is not serious, it is uncomfortable.

I just discovered one of my friends is at Burning Man right now. I knew she attended regional burns around here, but this year she saved up to fly out to Burning Man and has been there all week. She's not rich and has a pretty average job; I'd imagine this is most of her vacation days and entertainment budget for the year. She posted last night about her situation. She said the main issue is that everything is soaking wet, and there's no way to dry off clothes or shoes. The ground is very clay-heavy and turns into an impassable sludge with standing water on top. She's staying with some friends who rented a camping trailer, so they have shelter and plenty of food and water. People are apparently being good about sharing, at least in the area she's at. She's a very nice and genuine person, if a little naive, so I hope she gets out of there without too much trouble.

Krataar posted:The cheapest ticket I saw if you get it was something like $600. Then lets add up a week of food and water, desert wear, camping supplies, travel. The low end can easily be $2k if youre being cautious. I am sure a riskier trip is less but thats pretty risky when on a good year you can die of exposure in a few hours and people will just assume youre tripping. Its expensive to trip balls all weekend comfortably in the middle of the desert at the end of summer, but its not exactly perilous

I’m at a loss right now between “it’s evil to celebrate rich idiots turning into loose atoms under the sea”, “somber day for the country as J6’ers receive brutal consequences”, and “wow don’t celebrate these truly stupid people who believe they are Really Doing Something by going to do drugs and pretend to be poor while loving up the desert”. Maybe y’all changed, maybe I changed, but gently caress em.

I love this place and want to remind you, dear reader, that for every crypto bro tech celebrity that's eating poo poo right now, there are tons of non-detestable people who are also stuck and in what may be a rather tenuous spot of danger. I like being cynical about this but there's a group who built a giant freezer on wheels to hand out ice cream, there's landscapers who dabble in DJing, cat shelter owners, non-profit org teachers, and at least one 60+ year old blacksmith that I know personally. A melting pot. At face value, a legendary party in the desert kinda sells itself and it's not surprising that a lot of different kinds of people show up. I wanna poke fun at everyone, equally, not just tech bros. The vibe of hate in this thread is kinda greasy. Edit: glad I'm not alone here. it could turn tragic pretty quickly out there and I've been "doing the worrying thing" all morning. to be fair it seems like it's fine-ish so far and people are staying calm down1nit fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Sep 3, 2023 |

Let us ask ourselves: Would modern day goons direct this much hate towards a Juggalo gathering or furry convention? No, and the latter is a great shame.

The Juggalos would embrace the mud and party harder. The Gathering is already what Burning Man pretends to be.

For many burning man attendees, this 1 inch of rain and the resulting mud is the most difficult thing they have ever had to endure in their lives. Imagine the horror of having to walk out through the mud with only 70% cell coverage.
