2 months ago I was getting hype because bunkers and tunnels were making a popular comeback thanks to Hamas and the Hasidic bros in Brooklyn were digging a tunnel for their messiah. Now? Nothing. No more tunnel discourse. What happened?
Boring Company's scarce output...has also come with a massive buildup of waste, the consistency of a milkshake, that's said to burn the skin of anyone who comes in contact with it.
...the chemical sludge was filled not only with the commonplace byproducts of sand, silt, and water, but also accelerants used to set the grout to build the tunnels. As the sludge built up, so too did its associated safety risks — and as the workers told Nevada's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), people getting burned by the sludge was an almost routine occurrence.
...some workers were scarred permanently from their accelerant burns.
Beyond burning people on the regular, the sludge literally gummed up the works in other dangerous ways as well — though apparently, nobody's been killed yet.
As Boring employees told OSHA, for instance, an intern almost got crushed by some two-ton concrete bins last summer when they collapsed because its metal brackets had become overloaded with the stuff.
The agency ultimately fined Boring more than $112,000 over eight violations it deemed "serious."
Rich people never suffer actual consequences in America unless they fuck over other rich people
hexbear needs to become the first underground web forum. i propose we begin in our yards, public parks, and local empty lots and connect to each other, forming a vast walkable network. i believe we already have the user density to cover North and South America, as well as much of Western Europe. if someone wants to DM we can swap maps, geological survey data, and coordinates for a link up.
the end goal, of course, is once everyone is in The Tunnel Web, we can shut down hexbear.net and communicate via a system of morse code knocking, birdcalls, and minecart rails
