Ok, this is really Woodstock. But check back in a day or two!

They’re also telling attendees to pee in the mud so the toilets don’t overflow since they can’t be emptied… may want to avoid the mud for a bit

Reminiscent of Woodstock 99:

The number of portable toilets installed proved insufficient for the number of attendees. The toilets and showers soon became unusable and overflowing, and male guests resorted to urinating on the side of the toilets or behind vendor stalls. Excrement from the toilets flowed into the mud pits and camping areas, mixing with water from the broken pipes. Many attendees began jumping into the mud pits and water troughs to stay cool in the heat, unaware of the contamination; this led to many cases of trench mouth and trench foot. The Oneida County Health Department analyzed the free drinking water, finding it to be contaminated with E. coli and other bacteria.

I was about to wonder if any of them read the recent tough mudder story, guess not.

I'll bet you a soda that there were people infected at that event who went right to the playa. The entire place is gonna be fecal-flavor biohazard gumbo until it dries out, then people will get infected from the dessicated viruses rehydrating in their lungs years from now.

woohoo

I don't understand how people can see that multiple times stuff like this happens at these massive festivals, yet they still pay a ton to go to them.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine paying thousands of dollars for this

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Still beats paying a quarter million to be killed in the violent implosion of a submersible pressure cooker.

Not if you're suicidal. Death by submarine implosion has got to be one of the best ways to go if you ask me.

At least I’d be dead and not stuck in hippie mudshit hell

I just gagged a little. So gross!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Literally my first thought was wondering how much of that is excrement, considering their toilet situation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For real? Where did you hear this?

On one of the news casts I watched. No one can drive in and out right now and that includes the trucks that empty the bathrooms which are quickly filling up
