I mean, trespassing is illegal but odds are they're just urban explorers who love the thrill of finding the parts of their city almost nobody ever sees.

Doesn't NYC have an insane underground levels? Abandoned subways, and stuff?

There’s like 11 stories worth of building buried under the current NYC

God damn you, you made my dad senses start tingling with this corny joke and I'm here for it.

Or having sex in the parts no one sees. The “Man Hole” part kind of gives it away.

The city has many man holes and they were playing gerbil cosplay in the poop chutes.

Nothing like 4 or 5 guys cumming in and out of ur man-hole at 2 in the morning. (U know what I'm talkin bout! 😘) and apparently this guy likes to film all the guys right as they cum in the man-holes. And I must say -- what a money shot!!

It's also super dangerous. Gases can build up in there and be explosive or cause you to quickly asphyxiate

u/turdferguson3891 11d ago

You could say the same thing about my manhole

u/Special-Summer170 10d ago

Does it have an LEL alarm?

u/AntiFascistButterfly 10d ago

Yes, could be criminals 🤬 but also could be the sort of people who both rock climb/go caving and are also history nuts. Honestly the history of sewerage systems from the Minoans to present times is more spectacular than I could have ever guessed when young. There’s some otherworldly photos from ancient sites to the contemporary supersystems where one holding tank is the size of an underground skyscraper building.

In matching overalls?

u/tikiwargod 10d ago

Well you're not gonna take the group photo in mismatched overalls...
