Sisyphus I'll give you $5 to roll that rock back down right now

aaaaanyway, ladies and gentlemen- we got him.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That "Mission Accomplished" banner still pisses me off.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

yeah, it was tone deaf at best, and an outright lie in reality lol

I swear I've seen the grey body on the right somewhere, can't place it

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 39 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That's the only thing that makes me not want to reshare this image. What a horrible way to die.

[–] Arcturus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 months ago

Dang didn't realize that's what it was referencing

My wife shared me a meme from that image and I asked her if she knew its origin. Let me tell you, she got really sand and guilty about it.

I don't remember the name but it's a depiction of a cave explorer that got stuck like that and died. While there was help at the place to try and get him out they couldn't. If I remember correctly he's still stuck in that same place.

From the Wikipedia article:

Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access.

This is how the Nutty Putty Cave became the Nutty Putty Grave.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Already perfectly placed

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

These State of Survival ads are getting weird...er

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago

needs a trolly problem

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I recognize the Plato shadows on a wall ref and someone commented about Sisyphus. Obviously, Saddam was in a hole. What's the rest? Looks like pick-axe people are part of a 2d video game. I don't get anything other than what I've described.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 20 points 6 months ago

The pick-axe is a "motivational" meme about don't giving up, because the diamonds could be just around.

Grey downward facing body is from nutty putty cave

[–] C126@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

That story is horrifying

[–] hertg@infosec.pub 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The caption is a reference to "The myth of sisyphus" by Albert Camus. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Good book.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 6 months ago

That one is a pretty deep reference.

[–] DriftinGrifter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

if the books is any good is the title just clickbait?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The gray silhouette in the hole is a nutty putty cave reference. It's pretty horrifying. Tl;dr version, cave exlorer gets so stuck it's actually impossible to remove him.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Its missing the vietcongs

[–] Nom@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Thanks for sharing OP, I hadn't seen the original concept art of Fallout Shelter before.

Alas, he will never understand the joys of Hanukkah

How long did he lay in that hole? Like was that his whole life at that point? Laying in a hole?

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
