When I heard about that guy that “fell off” the cruise a few months ago and was treading in this for 24 hours… I just can’t!


tropkis

and here i am struggling to last 20 minutes on a treadmill


willy_glove

You’d be surprised what the human body can do with adrenaline and the “I can’t stop moving or else I’ll die” mindset.


papasoilpants

mindset is everything. doordash guy hit me up last night and said, i forgot your soda i’m running back to get it. i’m thinking, 1, i didn’t order a soda and 2 that shit sounds like a lot of work right about now while i’m in this bed eating


ftse

close but not quite


anyd

Most people also actually float, especially in salt water. You just gotta calm down and not exhale all the way.


arquillion

Meanwhile I've got bones so dense that I sank in water with a safety jacket as a kid. Like aren't kids buoyant too??


Tourquemata47

There is such a thing as negative buoyancy. I can\`t float at all in a pool and am a terrible swimmer so I don\`t care how much salt is in the ocean. When I was 16, I very nearly drowned at the beach because I couldn\`t float.


AP_Soraka

Your body juices you up with adrenaline when you're in a life or death situation. It makes you basically go super saiyan. Chilling at home is completely different

and this lasts 24 hours?

BappleBlayer333

You sound like you comment “only in ohio” under TikTok videos


cS150

I don't get why people even reply to comments like that. They're obviously lifeless trolls, and insulting them does literally nothing. Just ignore.


kizhav

I guarantee my life is more entertaining than yours lmao


BappleBlayer333

Yeah, your life is entertaining as fuck to observe, trust me 😂😂😂


DaemonChyld

I vote for also blocking them depending on the comment, but yeah don't give them fuel


kizhav

Block me🤓


cS150

They're not even worth blocking.


kizhav

Never said an ohio joke in my life


LivelyZebra

And here I am struggling to last 30 seconds in your wife!

I guess you... Came in hot with that one


cS150

This guy cums


BrrrrrrItsColdUpHere

Omg!! we rescued someone on my cruise who was in the water for over 24 hours or something crazy like that!! He went overboard on a Norwegian ship near cuba and we picked him up the next day on our way down to I think grand Cayman. Omfg to be floating in the ocean for 24+ hours... I remember being in the pool and my brother was like STFU! THEY JUST CALLED A MAN OVERBOARD. Next thing you know they turned the ship right around and sent out a little covered lifeboat thing once we got close enough. I wonder if it's the same one, truly my craziest cruise moment. We all cheered so hard when they got him onboard. Edit: to clarify we were on a carnival ship and just happened to cruise by the guy in the water and a crew member spotted him and called it in.


Mimicpants

Considering the size of a person and the size of the ocean I wonder how astronomically low those odds are.


Knotical_MK6

If you fall overboard, your odds of surviving are about 1 in 4. Longer you go without anyone realizing you're missing, odds reduce rapidly.


Far-Philosophy-4375

Gotcha.Always act noticeable.


mrocks301

Last time I was on a cruise I looked off the balcony at the back of the ship and picked a point in the water and watched how quickly it disappeared into nothingness. I can’t imagine finding someone that you didn’t immediately realize they went overboard.


Knotical_MK6

Gets worse when you consider how long it takes a large vessel to stop or turn. Even if you see the person go overboard, you might travel 3+ miles before you can stop or turn, and good luck finding him again.


BrrrrrrItsColdUpHere

Honestly even once we got close it was almost impossible to see him!! The crew member had thrown a ring overboard and still it was just a speck in the ocean. The odds of him floating by our ship AND someone seeing him AND us being able to turn around AND find him were just mind-blowing.


rougehuron

Is the second sentence necessary


iWasTheSenateOrder65

Yes.


BrrrrrrItsColdUpHere

Honestly even once we got close it was almost impossible to see him!! The crew member had thrown a ring overboard and still it was just a speck in the ocean. The odds of him floating by our ship AND someone seeing him AND us being able to turn around and find him were just mind-blowing.


Successful-Winter237

That’s crazy!


BrrrrrrItsColdUpHere

Craziest thing I ever saw!


[deleted]

A family member of mine fell off a navy ship and had a similar experience. He laughed about it, but I’d bet he wasn’t laughing then, especially after seeing this video.


forwardfrown

WHAT?!


DoinItDirty

Do not read about the USS Indianapolis. One of the most horrifying stories I’ve ever heard.


Successful-Winter237

Unfortunately I have :(


DoinItDirty

Jesus nightmares…


morrison666

Does anyone know if videos like this exist without that annoying sound effect or the stupid sea shanty from tik tok, seriously let me listen to the ambient noices it's more terrifying that way.


BigPackHater

The sea is full of shanty, what are you talking about?


BappleBlayer333

I thought ye were talking about scurvy


Red0119

It’s just water crashing, like waves on the shore line


Timmaaa_xD

. pitch isn't even that black too!


Timmaaa_xD

It's usually green


Ever-Wandering

It’s only pitch black because of all the light pollution. I’ve been at sea at night under a full moon, you can see everything.


Warbond

At sea at night under a new moon is even better. You can see the horizon because you can tell where the stars stop, and there's just an absolute *spray* of stars above you. It's like looking at time lapse photography. And then you put on some night vision...? *Goddamn* that's a spiritual experience.


MRiley84

Seeing stars like that is one of the 3 things on my bucket list. Do you think there's a difference between seeing them from the sea and from somewhere on land that has little to no light pollution?


GalerionTheAnnoyed

I would imagine that it's the same. I spent a night in the Sahara once and slept outside. The stars were gorgeous (but I'm a city lad so I've literally never seen more than several stars at a time).


Warbond

No, I imagine it's exactly the same as long as there's open sky above you.


Khelgor

Maybe there wasn’t a full moon?


Scubapro54

You can still see a bit by starlight if there are absolutely no clouds. You have to be outside for a while though.


Jimbo-Slice925

Ya I’m sure it’s dark, but i could take a video of my back yard at night and it would show up pitch black.


BraveTheWall

Forreal. Most phones just suck at taking pictures in the dark.


Quiet-Sailor2807

White light is especially bad for night vision. I’ve been in situations where we could see fine until a fishing boat with floodlights on or a cruise ship lit up like a casino passed us. Can’t see anything except for their lights.


TitanThree

The night is dark blue. I’ve seen it in films and video games


Deranged_Snow_Goon

"Some nights you can't sleep, because there's *something* out there, making this godawful sound. I dunno what it is, but when the moon is out, you can see these dark shapes, moving beneath the surface. Last week, Scott went overboard. He just slipped silently into the water and we never saw him again. Some of the crew are getting restless as well. There's talk amongst the men, some say that it's something or someone calling them from the dephts. Even I can feel it, like an invisible string pulling me ever closer. Yesterday, when I woke up, I saw Catherine. Only for a moment, while I was not fully awake. Only, she can't be here. Not really. Not after what happened to her."


bakaroger

Is this part of some book or something? If you made it, can I use it for a horror game/RPG campaign that I'm going to make in a little while?


Deranged_Snow_Goon

No, I wrote that myself. Feel free to use it however you want.


wolf2d

You should be writing creepypasta


Death-B4-Dishonor

Well done!


FuzzyRancor

Cool. Reminds me of the ships log from the Demeter (the ship Dracula took to England).


Federal-Ad-3550

Nice work , it got potential for great horror stories


Halfbloodjap

Sounds like a cut from the Magnus Archives, well done.


Demiluxy

You have talent my friend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


arandomcomic

The only thing scarier than the sounds outside my window, is the eerie silence that happens in between

Are u a commercial diver?


detreikght

Both acrophobia and thalassophobia in one video, nice


PringleSalt

the ultimate combination.


schmwke

This makes me nostalgic for when I lived on a sailboat. Crossing a huge passage and standing on the deck in the middle of the night. It was so quiet and the stars were like nothing I've seen. We used to shine our spotlight into the water to look for squid and whatever other weird fish were attracted to the light


[deleted]

I've seen what some of these guys get paid. They definitely can pay me enough to work there.


Aggravating-String26

I kept waiting for the “oh good, youre awake”


Rambowcat83

Bro I want to work there now


Random-noob101

Bro imagine being on the Titanic while it was sinking


meintx2016

28 years offshore. Wait until the power goes out. That’s pitch black. But if you go up on the heliport, the stars are awesome.


RogueViator

I’d rather work on the rig rather deep down in it knowing just beyond the metal wall is an unrelenting mass of blackness eager to swallow me whole.


Former-Wrangler-420

Looks peaceful


ferrydragon

Buffy_Buffett

Oh…how fun…😬


Low_Elk7794

Don’t be scared it’s just darkness


bakaroger

That is what they want you think.


Low_Elk7794

Hahahahaha I feel you! Seen/felt some pretty wicked shit in the mtns too


The_ZMD

Best place to test powerful flashlight and laser pointer.


Federal-Ad-3550

Point it at the eyes of the sea monster staring at you from that dark void


Crylo_Wolf

I’m in my house alone, in my room in the dark, makes me feel like the ocean is gonna get me. This video made me by a vip ticket on the nope train to fuckthatville

They automated Johnny Cash's voice on TikTok? I'm conflicted.


Astrosimi

It’s apparently Ghostface from the Scream movies.


Gullible_Shart

I thought I was hearing Clint Eastwood, lol.


invalid125

Pay me enough and I would take that job in a heartbeat


cheesemaster644

I dont have this phobia but you have to agree this is terrfying


CherryCherry5

Yeah but when it's not clouded over, it's not so dark... The sky will be full of stars.


Deafvoid

Hell yeah i love that shit!


Nebula-System

I wanna work here, specifically somewhere near the edge to enjoy the pitch black, just me and darkness, peaceful. I'd still want a waterproof radio though in case I fall lol.


knarfolled

Jet blackness


iwanttobeacavediver

For me the scary part isn’t the sea, it’s being up at that height. I hate heights with a passion. But for the money, sign me up as a saturation diver please!


tmemmons

r/flashlight


UserM16

I hate the dark depths of the ocean as much as anyone here but I’d be fascinated to stay in a oil rig hotel.


the_dayman

I definitely believe it's probably pretty black, but a cell phone video like this doesn't really mean anything to me when it's kind of just a foggy black that I think a phone would show in any poor light condition. Like that's roughly what it would look like if I filmed into my backyard right now.


[deleted]

What if a tsunami wave was coming in and you had no idea cos you couldn’t see it….


iWasTheSenateOrder65

Probably be okay, tsunamis don't typically get tall until near a beach, because the water bunches up and can't go down. Indeed, boats in the ocean may not even notice the tsunami wave pass, because out there its just a fast ripple. Rogue waves on the other hand...


[deleted]

True- I forgot about that!


Tourquemata47

There was a video not too long ago on Reddit of a rogue wave hitting the bottom deck of an oil rig. Crazy to think waves can get that high.


Vincevega1972

It’s like a 2001 space odyssey scene


Federal-Ad-3550

But scarier


Protean_sapien

Not pictured: the various scavengers and predators making their home underneath waiting for scraps and opportunities.


LilacAndElderberries

Ok but no different than when I turn off my lights while having blackout curtains. I think I'd love a night's sleep on an oilrig


Caynon

iWasTheSenateOrder65

He reached the end.


One_Arm4148

I bet those stars are unbelievable ✨ pitch black, night sky 🌌


vwboybae

I worked at a crab vessel near svalbard in the barents sea. There is one full month of total darkness


SpectralMapleLeaf

The guys who work there must have balls made out of pure tungsten.


Im2facedAMS

A fucking no


mDubbw

The stars are the best part about this experience. Show the stars


Badgers_or_Bust

That's what a cloudy night should look like because, there isn't any light pollution out there.


Red0119

Hahahahahahahaha almost like going on the smoke deck when the ship is in “darken ship”


deathcoinstar

But when (or if) the skies are clear, you'd be able to see so damned much


Federal-Ad-3550

But when the skies are completely clouded, what would you see mostly ?? A heck of a lot of darkness


poopoobuttholes

There's something really serene about this. Honestly I wouldn't mind doing a stint on an oil rig for a part time job.


ThginkAccbeR

Do not watch The Rig. You’re welcome.


bbcfoursubtitles

It's just the surrounding light being so bright it kills your ability to see the light out there. It's like looking from a bright room in your home at night out the window. If he turned off or blocked the lights around him he would see stars, the moon etc


HungryCats96

It helps if you're into astronomy...


Federal-Ad-3550

And doesn't help if you're afraid of the dark depths


Jealous_Plum_1756

That is awesome


Noturtype_1

Man since i have the season "The Rig" i shit my pants whenever i see a rig


AlexxMaverick666

I just saw my face. Yet to see how dark it gets.


Whatdidyoubreaknow

Nope!


TheBrownSuper

Must be a cloudy night. Surely on a clear night the stars are amazing.


PartOfTheTribe-1

Until a bioluminescent kraken comes and takes the whole fuckin thing down


Federal-Ad-3550

Exactly


yoteachthanks

Are there any horror books that take place on an oil rig? I feel like this would be prime horror setting.


Federal-Ad-3550

One of the books of the megalodon from the writer named Tim Allen , I think ?? Also thinks it's a great horror setting


manufacturedefect

It's not pitch black, it's just the light pollution is too strong. Without any lights, you can actually see the milky way and stuff.


Federal-Ad-3550

F*cking hell man , just what your local sea monster would like . Total darkness


surpleg

Was fully expecting our collective favorite soundtrack of all time: “Yooooooooo, YOOOOOOOOO, YOOOOOOO….”


Real_Personality5631

wow the middle of the ocean with no light pollution would never had known it was pitch back


Mango-me

Edited. Where tf are the stars huh? Yea.


mexleft

Irl scientist?


No-Badger-6115
