Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I've actually been scuba diving in a cave (well, cavern according to the standard diving definition). Far enough, though, that I couldn't get back to air without someone sharing theirs with me.
There's also some good, terrifying documentaries that I can recommend.
But yeah, I'm not going in a cave ever again. I will go under water and even get a decompression obligation again, but nothing but the largest, safest carves ever again.
I'm too old for this shit.
Am curious about those documentaries. I love caves, but stick to safe tours and whatnot. I don't know that I would be OK exploring a "wild" cave.
"Dave not coming back". Those people are ridiculously suicidal. Watch it and contact me later. It's absolutely insane if you understand what they were actually doing. They don't do a good enough job explaining that.
"The last breath" that's on Netflix. Not quite the same. Terrifying nonetheless.
Appreciate it, I'll check them out.

Here's a YouTube documentary on one of the most famous cases.

They have all kind of short documentaries about caving, cave diving, mountaineering and more.
Caving seems like one of those things where while it's one of the coolest things ever, I also don't think I would ever want to go in a cave ever in my entire life. It just seems to risky, even for professionals, and it seems like there are so many unexpected variables when it comes to caving that can be completely out of your control.
Dave Not Coming Back comes to mind.
Yup. That's the one. Suggested earlier.
Very suicidal behavior, but a different way to die than, well, downing while clawing at the solid rock above you.
I know a lot about scuba, and that's why I'm not going into caves again.
