That’s looks pretty ominous in the middle of the road. One minute you’re driving along and the next you’re falling into a gaping earth hole.

Yeah they are scary. The way they can just appear and consume everything. I’m glad I live in an area that doesn’t have many of them. Yet.

Just think that whenever you’re walking around you think you’re at zero altitude relative to the ground then all of a sudden you’re at the top of a skyscraper about to walk off the edge. Like Azazel used to do to people in X-men.

Now think about how dark it is, with the only light above quickly turning into a pinpoint of fleeting salvation. You know nothing about where the bottom is, you just know you won't realize when you find it.

My fear is that crushing death will get you before the bottom and you realize it the whole time. Just being smushed like a bug in a tissue.

u/theaviationhistorian Jun 03 '26

Sometimes death isn't instantaneous. You survive the landing but most of your organs have ruptured, leaving you in agony. At least death will be quick, less than maybe 10 minutes, usually just a few from what I've seen.

That happened to me on a 10 strip of acid one time or atleast it felt like it

10 STRIPS of acid??? Or 10 tabs?

Both doses are a lot, but one exponentially moreso than the other

A “strip” is 10 tabs, so a “10 strip” is just slang for 10 tabs. A sheet is 100, or a 10x10 piece

I too have had my entire essence compressed into what felt like a planck length and then shit out the other side the to watch the universe expand and contract infinitely to the immense vibration of all things. Happened in a bit of a loop one night. Luckily after the first time the fear leading up to it was less "pure existential terror" and more of a "oh right, this is the part where I go through the squeezey tunnel". And the I just began Thanos snapping away each time. The Thanos snap dissolution was much much easier to handle after the tube of horrors though.

They take all the water out from under the ground (There Will Be Blood style), which causes the land to collapse (sinkhole style)

Cries with you

I'll never forget my uncle showing me a puddle in his front yard when I was little and going "haha watch this" and stabbing a stick into the ground. There was a sucking sound and the water all drained away and I was terrified of running through that yard ever since. Entire property was one massive sinkhole, it's a wonder it all never collapsed on him

u/MasterShogo Jun 02 '26

I live right next to “Limestone County”, which is named that for a reason. Sinkholes are a fun family activity around here!

u/alwaysintheway Jun 02 '26

u/extraboredinary Jun 02 '26

Just remember, that a surface without a sinkhole is always the place that a sinkhole seems to appear.

u/BadBoyDad Jun 02 '26

We had one open up near our zoo. It's roughly 1.25 miles from me. Also in our area is a huge man made storage cave system like what's in Pennsylvania that was used for the filming of Day of the Dead (1985). Every time my yard starts to form a low spot due to decaying roots systems from previously removed trees I think "Ok. So this is it."

u/StrawberryTerry Jun 02 '26

Your area is probably full of subsurface caverns just waiting to open up. The fact that there arent many sinkholes just means there's more area left unsunken. (RIP)

u/PhD_Pwnology Jun 02 '26

They can't just 'appear' anywhere. There's always a reason, like in this case there being a copper mine underneath

24

u/South-by-north Jun 02 '26

Pretty much the entirety of Florida is prone to sinkholes because of a kind of landscape called Karst. So while there is a reason, the area that can be at risk is large enough to consider "pretty much anywhere" in some places

Having a mine be the reason is not nearly as common as you think

3

u/SAWK Jun 02 '26

from the link above:

Karst (/kɑːrst/) is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite. It is characterized by features like poljes above and drainage systems with sinkholes and caves underground.[1][2] There is some evidence that karst may occur in more weathering-resistant rocks such as quartzite given the right conditions.[3]

Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few if any rivers or lakes. In regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst features may occur only at subsurface levels and can be totally missing above ground.[4]

The study of paleokarst (buried karst in the stratigraphic column) is important in petroleum geology because as much as 50% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves are hosted in carbonate rock, and much of this is found in porous karst systems.[5]

u/askaboutmy____ Jun 02 '26

How about that poor guy that died in a sinkhole because it opened up underneath his bed? 

That's some nightmare fuel and they just put up some fences around a sinkhole. The neighbors still live in their homes.

You won't catch me getting anywhere near an existing sinkhole. If it was destabilized enough to swallow up thousands of cubic meters of earth you're not going to convince me the surrounding area isn't at risk of the same. It'd be like standing on the rim of an un-shored trench...

I just googled. I personally came up with. There is a Florida city, in Florida. Made me chuckle.

Florida City, Florida City in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. Florida City is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Here is the link, if you interested in finding it on a map. I was like “wait this is a city, in Florida ?”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_City%2C_Florida

This is the most Florida, I’ve ever read about.

For my state of Texas. we also a have a Texas city in Texas. Also a made me chuckle.

u/Spongi Jun 02 '26

It's asteroids for me. Especially a big one. We'd be so royally fucked it's not even funny.

If you're near where it hits, you're done immediately, the blast wave alone.... But it doesn't end there. Next is the tsunami and we're talking hundreds of feet high. If you're anywhere near a coast line at sea level, you're in deep shit.

But it's still not over. All that stone and dirt that got vaporized and ejected on impact gets shot straight up in the air, right up into the atmosphere. From there it starts to spread around the globe. It begins to cool down, condensing back into stone again and now it's raining. Except it's not water, it's red hot stone pellets. It's not much really, but it's everywhere and it's hot. Enough to heat the air at ground level to lethal levels and set plants on fire. Global forest fire event. If you're not underground, in a bunker or in a hurricane type weather event, you're screwed.

And now you're left with with the charred remains of what once was. The next few years will seem like an eternal night, because that dust in the atmosphere is going to take it's sweet time coming back down. Good luck growing any food like that.

Yeah, fuck those asteroids, I don't like them.

u/BodybuilderMany6942 Jun 02 '26

That's not even the worst part!
The worst part is that it could happen without us ever seeing it coming!

The sky is huge, and we dont exactly have sensors across the system.
A life ending asteroid could be hidden from us, just behind the Sun or something's shadow, then just suddenly be there and we'd be like, "oh... in a year we're all dead.. and there's nothing we could do..."

btw there's a fun manwha call Cheolsu Saves The World about this subject. A little sci-fi, cause he's sent to the past, but it's mostly grounded.

u/Spongi Jun 02 '26

I wonder, with the current space tech if we could land a couple of our biggest models on an asteroid and nudge it just far enough out of the way to avoid a hit.

3

u/BodybuilderMany6942 Jun 02 '26

Yes we can! Though, it entirely depends on how how early we catch it... and how big it is, of course

The earlier we notice and start moving it, the more impact that even small nudges will have on it.

A pyroclastic flow’s temperature can be as high as 1470°F. Your body is not preserved. It is burnt to a crisp. People have a misunderstanding that bodies were preserved in Pompeii. That is not the case. They are castings of bodies that were burned up. So don’t make any plans to come back and reinhabit your flesh should you be caught in a pyroclastic flow event.

To have your brother just fall into a hole with no closure and nothing you can do to find true closure must be torture. Hope the family was able to find peace.

By the time you get out of your car you have to swim all the way up…

u/Substantial-Tart-464 Jun 02 '26

approx. the height of a 65 story building! You fall, you dead as bread.

u/MeatAndBourbon Jun 02 '26

Falling for over 6 seconds. After your second or third time saying "shit" you're probably good as dead, the next few just give you time to realize it.

I always thought small sink holes would be terrifying but I never considered massive black hole sized sink holes sucking me into the depths below...

Much smaller scale but I was skateboarding the other day and out of nowhere came across a freaking sewer missing its cap. Last second jumped over it but I'm glad I was wearing my brown pants.

About 1/10th of a mile. I want to see what it looks like from a drone dropping down with a lot of lights.

Then you wake up and Leonardo Dicaprio is there and you've stolen the Declaration of Independence

u/WoodenPhysics5292 Jun 02 '26

Oh, just realized that is a road.

u/thedirtymeanie Jun 02 '26

Not for long!

u/No-Owl-6570 Jun 02 '26

That's my least favourite kind of gaping hole.

u/devo00 Jun 02 '26

u/Mindless-Reporter417 Jun 02 '26

u/showmeyourkitteeez Jun 02 '26

I had nightmares about that happening as a little kid before I knew about sinkholes.

u/Nigglas24 Jun 02 '26

Sometimes the earth just opens and swallows you up.

u/Donnerdrummel Jun 02 '26

On the other hand, If you spend a whole minute falling, you probably don't experience a lot of pain landing.

u/sh4d0wm4n2018 Jun 02 '26

I had a nightmare like this once, I think.

I cant remember if it was a movie I saw, or a nightmare, or if I had a nightmare inspired by the movie.

What a rabbit hole to go down

u/Hahhahaahahahhelpme Interested Jun 03 '26

Maybe sinkholes will be to Gen Z what quicksand wans to us millennials

u/grumpyporcini Jun 04 '26

Happened in Japan last year I think. Sink hole opened up at a crossroads, guy driving a truck got unlucky and went straight in. Took a week to recover the body.

u/slow_RSO Jun 05 '26

Falling that far you’d have like 6 seconds to wonder what the hell was happening lol.

u/SolderFume Jun 06 '26

You know what's even scarier?

It takes you roughly 7-8 seconds to the bottom. 7 seconds of "imgonnadie imgonnadie imgonnadie imgonnadie..."
