Well, feed it, so it closes again.

[-] dominoko@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

Florida demands another sacrifice. I have some ideas on who to throw in.

[-] Gilles_D@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Into the sand, it is!

If the apocalypse turns out to be sinkholes I’ll be impressed with the universe’s creativity

Some one needs to put a big cardboard cut out of a raccoon by that sinkhole.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting thought. All that allows human civilization to exist is a small amount of dirt under each of us at all times.

We are 8 billion sinkholes away from extinction at most. Realistically, since we cluster, you can probably eliminate us with about 80 million.

In case you wonder, the man who was killed, his remains were never found. Future generations exploring the limestone under this location I suppose will find him.

That sinkhole belongs in prison

It was (puts sunglasses on) standing it's ground.

Attention billionaires: the really cool thing to do now is explore sinkholes.

[-] elbowdrop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

When I was a kid I worried about quicksand. Ahh youth! Now as an adult I can worry about sinkholes.....and quicksand. Omg a sinkhole filled with quicksand!! Like a final level....

[-] Furimbus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So maybe don’t stand so close to the edge?

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sinkhole 3! This time it's personal.

Maybe chuck some tape around it before the fourth time? 🤨

[-] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

now it’s behind chain-link fencing

This isn't reddit, you're allowed to read the article.

Tape > fence

Thought this was TheOnion for a second 🫠

[-] Dark_Arc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That is an all too common problem these days

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ugh. The mole people are escaping again.

[-] keeb420@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Invasive species in Florida are really getting out of hand.

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t know how anyone affords insurance in Florida or how insurance companies there stay in business…

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well, they're not staying in business there. Farmers just pulled out of Florida because it's a net loss for them to insure anyone there because of the extreme weather changes brought by climate change.

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep I work in insurance and it’s crazy

[-] Hazdaz@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Did they try to shoot at it? That seems to be the go-to solution for things in FL these days.

[-] Jmr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Or make it the governor
