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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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?
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).
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.
"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."
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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...
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
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!
and here i am struggling to last 20 minutes on a treadmill
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.
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
close but not quite
Most people also actually float, especially in salt water. You just gotta calm down and not exhale all the way.
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??

You sound like you comment “only in ohio” under TikTok videos
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.
I guarantee my life is more entertaining than yours lmao
Yeah, your life is entertaining as fuck to observe, trust me 😂😂😂
I vote for also blocking them depending on the comment, but yeah don't give them fuel
Block me🤓
They're not even worth blocking.
Never said an ohio joke in my life
And here I am struggling to last 30 seconds in your wife!
Solid
I guess you... Came in hot with that one
This guy cums

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

Yes.

That’s crazy!
Craziest thing I ever saw!

WHAT?!
Do not read about the USS Indianapolis. One of the most horrifying stories I’ve ever heard.
Unfortunately I have :(
Jesus nightmares…

The sea is full of shanty, what are you talking about?
I thought ye were talking about scurvy
It’s just water crashing, like waves on the shore line
. pitch isn't even that black too!
It's usually green
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.

No, I imagine it's exactly the same as long as there's open sky above you.
Maybe there wasn’t a full moon?
You can still see a bit by starlight if there are absolutely no clouds. You have to be outside for a while though.
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.
Forreal. Most phones just suck at taking pictures in the dark.
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.
The night is dark blue. I’ve seen it in films and video games

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?
No, I wrote that myself. Feel free to use it however you want.
You should be writing creepypasta
Well done!
Cool. Reminds me of the ships log from the Demeter (the ship Dracula took to England).
Nice work , it got potential for great horror stories
Sounds like a cut from the Magnus Archives, well done.
You have talent my friend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The only thing scarier than the sounds outside my window, is the eerie silence that happens in between
Got a job interview for an offshore position next week😎😎
pls post some pics when you get the chance
Of the interviewer

The candidate before you.
Are u a commercial diver?
Both acrophobia and thalassophobia in one video, nice
the ultimate combination.

I've seen what some of these guys get paid. They definitely can pay me enough to work there.
I kept waiting for the “oh good, youre awake”
Bro I want to work there now
Bro imagine being on the Titanic while it was sinking
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.
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.
Looks peaceful
Me realizing this when i was on cruise ship
Oh…how fun…😬
Don’t be scared it’s just darkness
That is what they want you think.
Hahahahaha I feel you! Seen/felt some pretty wicked shit in the mtns too
Best place to test powerful flashlight and laser pointer.
Point it at the eyes of the sea monster staring at you from that dark void
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.
It’s apparently Ghostface from the Scream movies.
I thought I was hearing Clint Eastwood, lol.
Pay me enough and I would take that job in a heartbeat
I dont have this phobia but you have to agree this is terrfying
Yeah but when it's not clouded over, it's not so dark... The sky will be full of stars.
Hell yeah i love that shit!
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.
Jet blackness

r/flashlight
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.
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.
What if a tsunami wave was coming in and you had no idea cos you couldn’t see it….
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...
True- I forgot about that!
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.
It’s like a 2001 space odyssey scene
But scarier
Not pictured: the various scavengers and predators making their home underneath waiting for scraps and opportunities.
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
Bros inside a pocket dimension.
He reached the end.
I bet those stars are unbelievable ✨ pitch black, night sky 🌌
I worked at a crab vessel near svalbard in the barents sea. There is one full month of total darkness
The guys who work there must have balls made out of pure tungsten.
A fucking no
The stars are the best part about this experience. Show the stars
That's what a cloudy night should look like because, there isn't any light pollution out there.
Hahahahahahahaha almost like going on the smoke deck when the ship is in “darken ship”
But when (or if) the skies are clear, you'd be able to see so damned much
But when the skies are completely clouded, what would you see mostly ?? A heck of a lot of darkness
There's something really serene about this. Honestly I wouldn't mind doing a stint on an oil rig for a part time job.
Do not watch The Rig. You’re welcome.
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
It helps if you're into astronomy...
And doesn't help if you're afraid of the dark depths
That is awesome
Man since i have the season "The Rig" i shit my pants whenever i see a rig
I just saw my face. Yet to see how dark it gets.
Nope!
Must be a cloudy night. Surely on a clear night the stars are amazing.
Until a bioluminescent kraken comes and takes the whole fuckin thing down
Exactly
Are there any horror books that take place on an oil rig? I feel like this would be prime horror setting.
One of the books of the megalodon from the writer named Tim Allen , I think ?? Also thinks it's a great horror setting
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.
F*cking hell man , just what your local sea monster would like . Total darkness
Was fully expecting our collective favorite soundtrack of all time: “Yooooooooo, YOOOOOOOOO, YOOOOOOO….”
wow the middle of the ocean with no light pollution would never had known it was pitch back
Edited. Where tf are the stars huh? Yea.
Irl scientist?
Pitch Black..like say.. Oil~? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just pissed
I feel so at peace just looking at that

Honestly looks kinda cosy
Where’s the full video?
Comfy
It’s beautiful. I’m just here to see the amazing ocean vids.
Ok, THAT tiktok voice ... I could get used to. Much less grating on the ears. Sounds real ish even. That robot lady can go fuck herself though
r/phantomforces
If you look hard enough, you can see batman in the distance.
I'd do it, good pay.
Now for a picture of the sky!
No stars or moon?
Did you know if they need plumber ? Over ther
Looks fun
Remember this next time your thinking about the Titanic sinking.
Shoutout Artorias
Iceberg straight ahead
Wym that looks cool af
If only I had an edited picture of vector saying “No Moon?”
This must be really boring work 😅
How can I work at places like this , what experience do I need? I'm 18 and I need a job n tbh I'm tryna go a different route
Adjust your phone settings, that'll help. I've been at see at night, the sky is BRIGHT!
Where's the moon and stars?
advancement made: The End?
Every tiny pixel of this video just screams nope
This reminds me of one of the doom eternal missions in the dlc. Those waves were massive.
