Let's be honest Osha does not have a gun. They have a bubble wand at best.

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

you haven't read the msds on what's in those bubbles

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

And every dipshit in the country complains about them trying to stop this exact shit.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 46 points 4 months ago

Near future tweet?... "I own three Teslas. I know from experience that if you keep your windows up everything is guaranteed safe. People don't have any idea how good Tesla filtration and ventilation systems are..." And the comment goes on for hundreds more words of nonsense.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

How many Elon fan boys are real and how many are bots? We may never know

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

"I love tesla but it's uhh very very not cool that my legs rotted off below the knee from driving in their tunnel, hopefully Elon fires whoevers responsible"

[-] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

What if we kissed 😳🙈 bathing in the flesh-melting ooze in the Musk tunnel?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful - These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it Like a daydream or a fever

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago

KEEP YOUR ARMS AND LEGS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES

you have been warned

[-] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

up to TWO FEET? where is this shit coming from? this reads like an SCP

[-] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 3 months ago

According to the article, it's not the completed tunnels, but rather, the dig sites. It's mostly normal digging byproduducts (silt, rock dust, sand, water), but also chemicals for making/setting grout. All of that stuff is "normal", but the outrageously lax safety standards have let it build up rather than be dealt with.

"Elon Musk Tunnels Oozing with Skin-Burning Chemical Sludge" is a sensationalist clickbait take. "Elon Musk's Tunnels-In-Progress Full of Improperly Stored/Disposed-Of Dangerous Chemical Waste" wouldn't spark the imagination so hard.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

the fact that it's "normal" due to corner-cutting would be really bad if we lived under an economic system that incentivizes corner-cutting agony-deep

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You just said literally the same fucking thing and think that's supposed to make it better?

...Fucking redditors man

[-] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 40 points 3 months ago

No, it's not supposed to make it better. It's worse. "His tunnels are oozing with sludge" is mysterious, meant to draw readers in. The truth is, like every goddamn thing he's ever done, he's mismanaged it so hard and cut so many corners that he's caused yet another entirely predictable, entirely preventable industrial disaster.

I can hate Elon Musk and clickbait at the same time, mate.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Alright fair enough, it came across to me like trying to make a bad thing sound reasonable by making it sound mundane which is a common tactic of his supporters.

[-] ped_xing@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

He's never going to even know your name, much less love you.

[-] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 3 months ago

Sorry, did you think that was meant to be a defense of the man? Do you think his fanatics would ever describe him as "outrageously lax"? Read, mate, read.

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

It really doesn't read like a defense, not sure what these replies are on about

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

People here see a chance to try to crucify somebody they perceive as an imperfect leftist to show they're the one pure socialist and that takes precedence over reading comprehension.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Correcting misinformation is good actually.

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

this reads like an SCP

The Boring Company dug too greedily and too deep.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

The Vegas Loop is the Dark Souls of tunnels.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

It even includes a poison swamp!

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

He’s just trying to make Fallout New Vegas real because he loves video gaming like a boss

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

This was during construction only and it was only because of the caustic concrete mix.

[-] enkifish@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

I say as the psycho-reactive slime from the ghostbusters sequel slowly fills my tunnels.

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I call it Ubik

This cannot be real

Normal Day In Vegas

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Why do his fans not realize that he is very obviously trying to kill them with every single thing that he makes

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Oh cool, I always wanted to drive through the real-world equivalent of the Star Lasso Experience.

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Common sense tells me to stay out, but jrpgs tell me there's good loot if I defeat the sludge

[-] Site_Hating_Moid@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago
[-] GenXen@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I had to click through to the Bloomberg article just to confirm this wasn't satire.

I'm sure mixing this stuff with 1/2 ton lithium ion batteries in a tunnel underground is going to be a fantastic combination.

[-] Stache_@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

“and the walls will ooze green slime?!?”

“oh wait they always do that”

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Emerging from the tunnel looking like the Trashcan Man from The Stand.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
