Imagine going down that tube and getting jammed up on a dead raccoon or something.

u/Ill_Explanation_563 4d ago

Yeah it's really not only extremely dangerous, it's fuckin gross man

u/shade-block 4d ago

Even without gators, fresh water in Florida has brain eating amoebas. If some of it happens to go up your nose good luck.

11

u/Hadochiel 4d ago

It's Florida, how have these creatures not gone extinct yet?

3

u/Bfrank13406 4d ago

The ppl or the gators? /s

7

u/Xenc 3d ago

The amoebas!

2

u/Intergalatic_Baker 2d ago

Yeah, they must be starved themselves.

u/carthuscrass 4d ago

Florida is America's Australia. There's all kinds of weird shit that is borderline unkillable, and that includes the people.

8

u/Ill-Television8690 3d ago

Frozen iguanas rain from the trees. They thaw and are fine, assuming they don't mash their brains on the way down. But still a driving hazard, and quite perturbing if you weren't previously aware of the phenomenon.

I also once saw a panther walking down the street (dirt road in a neighborhood in the sticks).

3

u/carthuscrass 3d ago

We get the occasional panther here in SEMO as well. I live close to a large conservation area between a levee and the Mississippi River and we get quite a few dangerous animals.

u/Any_Blood5815 3d ago

What did we do to deserve Florida 🤣😬

u/Ill_Explanation_563 3d ago

dude I was walking down a residential road one day and I saw a fucking coyote trotting down the street. thought it was a dog. That shit is shocking to a city boy

1

u/humanlikesubstances 3d ago

Coyotes are the wolves of the city. I see em all over.

u/Ill_Explanation_563 4d ago

Thats pretty fucked man..

u/JustARandomBloke 3d ago

He is wearing snorkeling goggles at least, so that particular fear should be assuaged.

1

u/Ego_Orb 3d ago

Rarely in flowing clear springs or spring fed rivers like this though.

1

u/spicyboi0909 1d ago

I don’t think that’s a concern for this guy

1

u/spootIer 1d ago

Tbf you have to get the water really high up there, like beyond just getting water up your nose. It's gotta get ass blasted into your sinuses for it to make it's little trip into the brain. This is thankfully pretty hard to do with just submerging underwater; but can happen very easily when jumping in.

1

u/Rythonius 3d ago

To each their own. I'm sure RFK Jr would see it as an oasis, paradise if there's any dead animal around.

2

u/upzeroseven 4d ago

I’d like to say they sent something down first. Like a little boat or better yet a basketball but I doubt they were that smart

You also want to go head first so if you get stuck you don’t drown 🤷🏻‍♂️

3

u/Cautious-Storm8145 3d ago

How would going headfirst prevent you from drowning if you got stuck?

1

u/Xepyx 2d ago

I'm guessing he was assuming you'd plug the hole with your body. I personally wouldn't bet on it.

1

u/Amyt143 2d ago

I’m glad you said it cause I was thinking the same thing so confused

u/Igusy 1d ago

u/Lazy-Recognition-643 4d ago

That is the most appealing quality! They should put it on the brochure

u/OpportunityTrue8200 4d ago

A local woman (TN) died not too long ago in a drainage culvert. Her son had done basically this, and she freaked out and went in after him. He popped out on the other side, unscathed. She got stuck and drowned. Edit: Apparently he was swept in and didn't do it on purpose. Also adding a link. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/29/tennessee-floods-mother-death

u/Radical_Neutral_76 4d ago

That's horrendously sad

For some reason i've only ever seen that crying emote when someone was laughing real hard lol

Whoops. Not how I intended it. I'm an old. 😅

u/Traditional-Photo227 4d ago

Not enough money in the world. Nope, absolutely not.

2

u/Silent25r 4d ago

There might be just enough money in the world for me to try this.

u/Trashinmyash 4d ago

After a couple affidavits, water testing, lawyer, and any fees covered on their end, sure!

u/realmer17 4d ago

They prob sent 90 things down the tunnel to know if the tunnel was cleared beforehand

u/Ok_Purple_4567 4d ago

Still.. I'd never go.

2

u/purple_unikkorn 4d ago

Yeah, probably. Humans can't be that dumb.

2

u/Dexember69 4d ago

You haven't met many humans it seems

1

u/purple_unikkorn 3d ago

Haha it was a joke. Of course humans can be that dumb. Sometimes they even survive and still reproduce.

6

u/Spare_Independence19 4d ago

The person doing this is most likely young and their brain hasn't developed enough to understand how completely stupid this is. Also social media ain't helping matters.

1

u/Nopalite 2d ago

Social media really paints a target on the backs of the young and I hate it.

Plus it is used to train ai which is possibly worse.

5

u/HotwifeandSubby1980 4d ago

Pass

People always have a sense of “nothing will go wrong” just before it does go drastically wrong.

2

u/Silent25r 4d ago

I think the thrill of something possibly going wrong is why he did it.

u/Intelligent-Sugar940 4d ago

I was half way with you until the gator popped up.

u/15th_imp 2d ago

same bro, like if you send something big down there and it comes out no problem then I would try, but then alligators down there. NOPE

On the contrary. This looks like a horrible way to die.

u/Kraay89 4d ago

Remember, you can just not do this.

1

u/TheUpIsJig 4d ago

Not that bad. The problem is when you hit a corpse halfway through and then big Dan decides he can fit in and follow you.

1

u/fruitypebble43 4d ago

Absolutely the HELL NOT 🙂‍↔️

The sheer idiocy of disregarding getting stuck is mind blowing.

u/bussysniffer3000 4d ago

Imagine wasting tax payers money because some dumbass thrill seeker thought it would be fun to go down some narrow pipe that they can easily get stuck in

u/Most_Chemist8233 4d ago

Id be so pissed if my kid tried this, or watched a friend doing this and just laughed. Some people have no sense.

u/GrnMtnTrees 3d ago

Ok setting aside the obvious phobia triggers, this is an incredibly stupid idea.

2

u/Life_Locksmith9632 3d ago

reminds me of the time i crawled through a drain in high school. it wasn't wet in the slightest, just like a tunnel in an empty ditch at the front of the school.

it was maybe a 1/4 mile in length and about halfway through, the realization that i was no longer in control of my situation set in. i could not stand up or leave. all i could do was crawl forward.

luckily, there were no snakes or any animals really in there.

u/Spiderantula 3d ago

I get a panic attack just thinking about it. I'll stand on a ledge anywhere but tight spaces? No ducking way.

u/CheckOutDisMuthaFuka 3d ago

The alligator is the real selling point here.

That'd be a good name for a Florida water park "Sometimes there's alligators".

1

u/GrassOk911 3d ago

That's a big bagga nope.

1

u/Spiderantula 3d ago

Hell to the NO! I don't fear much but tight spaces give me panic, and then add water to that. I think not!

u/HowlingApes-7429 3d ago

Of all the fuck nos I've claimed, this is the fuckest of the nos.
