I'm glad to hear Elon is quickly dedicating his resources to create an escape method for these miners. He could use the good publicity after being jealous of the rescuers and calling them pedophiles in that last regretful debacle.
Wait, he isn't trying to save them? I guess this isn't the type of minor that Elon Musk craves in his life.
Memba when he called that British diver a pedo for rescuing the Thai boys in that cave?
These poor bastards.
10 days would be an eternity. Probably a good thing they're getting some coverage.
Food water and oxygen being sent their way is great and all, but they gotta be bored out of their minds and unable to do anything. Send them down a screen and movie projector or some Nintendo DS' and a bunch of copies of Mario kart or something so they can link play.
Rescuers finally make it to them and they're like "Hold on, just one more game."
Effing BS! I'm in the lead and my reward is nothing but useless bananas every damned box. Ramesh sucks in last place and gets to blue shell me? This game is the opposite of cow!
Word. Opposite of cow indeed.
Hope they make it out okay. Recently had surgery and I’m imagining being stuck in a hot room with 39 other people, my heart goes out to them.
A hot room with 10 days worth of poop.
I'm sure they established a poop corner
I’m sure that the smell doesn’t uphold that declaration.
The real question is whether they brought a poop knife.
Poop bags? Like for dogs
The "large scale cracking sound" seems like something to worry about. Yeesh. Hopefully they can find a reliable way to get these guys out of there sooner rather than later.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
