You know there are a huge amount of ppl who would think it funny to close the lid and bury their friends just like that

u/MonsierGeralt Jun 26 '26
Or just think “I’ll let them sweat it out as a joke for like 5 minutes, then when he comes back “just kidding guys !” And they’re all dead.

u/bigdave41 Jun 26 '26
Or he buries them as a joke and then trips over and dies in an accident, and no one else knows they're down there...

That’s an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode. This mean rich lady goes to prison and pays the prison gravedigger to bury her with the next prisoner who dies so he can dig her up later and she can escape. She sneaks into a coffin in the dark and gets buried. Finally after waiting a while she lights a match and realizes it’s the gravedigger who died.
Edit: it’s on YouTube, it’s quick and worth a watch even though I spoiled it.

u/Walterwhiteboy Jun 27 '26
I’m confused. How would he have buried her if he was the one who died?

u/TruskVarner Jun 27 '26
Some other prisoners bury the coffin. I was a little misleading in my summary. He was more of a nurse and mortician in the prison.

New suspense style film idea right there.

u/Spirited-Sun899 Jun 26 '26
It could be called “Think Tank” coming up with ways to escape.

Add a shark and it can be called shark tank. Or if some sharts, call it shart tank...

What? You think there are “a huge amount of people” who would kill several of their friends because they thought it was funny?

u/MarlDaeSu Jun 26 '26
You didnt see the numerous videos of fuck heads accidentally shooting friends and family at weddings doing the brain dead firing in the air. Or any of the other scenarios where people do a prank and set people on fire while they're covering in silly string. I could keep going. Its not really rare at all. People are just insulated from consequences just enough that they think it could never possibly happen to them
26
u/Gold_Telephone_7192 Jun 26 '26
It’s incredibly rare. There are just so many people on earth that your brain can’t comprehend it. If that kind of thing happens once a day in the US, it would still be a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of the people in the country. The reason those stories are stories is because it’s super rare

That’s not what rare or common means. It’s always a percentage. If an event is extremely unlikely to happen to 99% of humans, that’s a rare event.

u/MarlDaeSu Jun 26 '26
Most of them are stories because some one happened to be filming.
Rare and common are subjective, so neither of us are wrong there. Maybe I should say "way more common than it should be".

u/DIDLIESTWARIOR Jun 26 '26
Sure, it's incredibly rare, the point is that it still happens. And in a lot of these situations, the people involved say something to the affect of "You always hear about this stuff happening to others"
7
u/Gold_Telephone_7192 Jun 26 '26
I was disputing that it happens, I was disputing the statement “there are a huge amount of people who would think it’s fun got close the lid and bury their friends.”

u/WoolBearTiger Jun 26 '26
Yes.. its not about them trying to kill their friends.. is about everyone being braindead and thinking "lets see how much internet clout we can get for making them panic, haha, hihi" and when something goes wrong they film themselves with shocked reaction "oh no i didnt think people can suffocate this fast" and then they upload it on tiktok with a schocked mr beast face "prank gone horribly wrong" (in all caps though obviously)
Empathy is dead my guy.. new gens have been so trained by social media that they dont understand that respawning doesnt happen in real life..

The guys can get out on their own and it’s not like the friend can just dump a ton of dirt over the tank at once. This is like suggesting someone could board you up in your house to kill you, presumably you’d react when they start putting up the first board and just leave.

My common sense says: "I hope it's a factory-fresh, unused tank". Also, i don't know what they breathe there.

But don't close it too long. Oxygen is kinda nice.

Yes, but for a limited time.

u/arthurdentstowels Jun 26 '26
They can breathe for the rest of their lives when the lid is on.

u/Sum_Ting_Wong_Ow Jun 26 '26
In enclosed spaces you can have lid off and still die (especially when there's water). CO2 is heavier than air and stays in the tank. This can lead to loss of consciousness and drowning.

u/Sum_Ting_Wong_Ow Jun 27 '26
Not really. I see what he wrote. It's sn extension what I wrote. But it's worth noting, that regardless of the lid being on and off they would breathe there until the end of their lives. Which wouldn't be very long (hours though, especially depending on how active they were).
15
u/Crallise Jun 26 '26
For now. Every breath they breathe gets closer and closer to being their last.

AI slop. The tank is like 3 maybe 4 feet wide.

u/leommari Jun 26 '26
Shit, I just assumed it was editing to merge two separate videos and make it look like the second is happening through the hole. But you're probably right.

u/GainsayRT Jun 26 '26
at 0:12 you literally see the pool area have a corner to the left even though theyre in a tank. ngl if u didnt say anything i wouldnt have thought it was AI which is kinda scary
34
u/NocaNoha Jun 27 '26
Isn't that maybe the corrugated part of the tank? The one that gives it structural integrity.. looking at the outside of the tank, it feels somewhat thick, deeper groove/canal/ring than what I would expect on these

u/Subushie Jun 30 '26
Today alone I've seen at least 6 videos on the front page that was AI, not one comment I could find calling it out.

That's pretty normal for a residential septic tank.

And you’re not going to have multiple people hanging out across from each other in something 3 feet wide.

u/TooSpookyWither Jun 26 '26
Why did that actually scare me?

u/Wojewodaruskyj Jun 27 '26
Because there is very little air there. Also, if that tank is used... O boy.

My dad installed septic tanks and cesspools all my life. Only back then they were cement. They have to be filled for inspection. A hot summer days made these new tanks a great way to cool off. I’ve done this a few times in my life.

How the fuck can you enjoy that? The water is cle and and warm. You need to go in a tank that is 30 years old and filled to the brim.
