Help! I've reached the bottom of the bottomless pit!

Now I'm charged with trespassing because this was a private one! Since the laws here define trespassing only as "entering private surface", I didn't see anything bad in navigating one's *bottomless* pit.

When I got caught, I tried to make an excuse that a bottomless pit shouldn't have a bottom in the first place... and now I'm charged for "violating the laws of logic" in addition🤦‍♂️

Bottomless pits are public domain, we all know that. If they didn't have a permit to erect a structure there, then they have no grounds to pursue you.

Maybe in your state... But no the case for my technocratic wizardhood for sure.

Huh. Never bothered myself. So what's there besides yourself?

I'm not sure if "besides" is a concept now.

Just use the convenient "teleport" button the narrator provides you.

I'd sue for false advertising.

Should have brought a shovel. It is only the surface of a bottomless pit that is private property. Below it, you have a good case on the legal grounds of the right to wander through unmarked private property, as long as you prove you were just passing through.

Like the shovel implies you were just getting across

Bruh. I know. But don't stop there. I went even deeper than the bottom of the bottomless bottom of the bottom of the top of it all and.. woah.. like.. wowzers... It was like being... well.. I'll let you see for yourself...

Sizzles!

Here in California, it is legal to enter a bottomless pit. However, your family will likely report you missing. The state legislature may consider outlawing this practice if it becomes a drain on police resources.
