About falling, burning pianos... here's a beautiful 2009 short film set to a 3min piece by Hauschka - Morgenrot.

I looooove that show! It's the best show nobody's watched. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen

[–] dxdydz@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! It’s the greatest show I can’t talk anyone into watching. It and The Leftovers.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I couldn't get into the leftovers, I did try

Or quicksand for that matter, I was really expecting that to be a much bigger problem. Especially after reading all those Tintin comics.

I went up to my knee in quicksand last week.

Looked solid, nope.

(In the shaded part, under a bridge, on a supposed dry river bed.)

Exciting and a little scary.

So your local OSHA version is doing its intended job.

To be fair we dont install them using a wooden crane or improvised winch to hoist them over public sidewalks as much these days either

When I was a child I saw a school mate get crushed by a falling piano.

True story.

Did he walk like an accordion after?

[–] Moonweedbaddegrasse@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

He didn't do a lot of walking after tbf

Somebody really enjoyed the success of the quicksand tweet and was hoping for an encore

[–] Starbelliedboy@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Tweet? That was a John Mulaney joke from like 10 years ago.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

And was probably said by various people before that too, whatever. The point is this is an obvious derivative.

And when the the time comes you will be ready.

Same reason I play dystopia games.
