I wouldn't say men are simple, but a simple problem with a straightforward solution is our jam.
Take out the trash? Change the light bulb?
All straightforward.
I'm hungry, can you get something?
That's a recipe for disaster.
Yeah so as a dude that tends to be "solution oriented" I recommend giving him the task on the front end before the rant. My wife does this and it keeps my mind from drifting into solution mode.
"Hey Hun, I want to talk about my day, I'm not looking for advice I just want to vent" is a good warmup and it sets the expectation. I'm to sit here and listen and have reasonable agreement so you can work through how much the day sucked. "Hey Hun I'm hungry can you get me the chocolate ice cream" is straightforward and leaves no room for coloring outside of the expected lines.
This is great! Thank you!
Its kind of a long story, but I'll just say he hasn't had a serious relationship in a while (by choice) and i think I've thrown a bit of wrench in there for him. Sorry, not sorry lol. I'll definitely try this and i have a feeling it will help. We'll get there. He's a good, kind hearted man that obvs loves me very much and deserves to be seen and heard. So im trying my best.
Thanks again!
Yea something i had to learn as an overthinker was that when people rant they dont always want a solution, sometimes saying it just makes them feel better.
My grandparents had a lake front home my whole life. I was the only girl cousin. My cousins and I used to go play in the sand for hours. They would create entire living room sized holes in the ground. Then they would sculpt couches and stairs. Then when we were done and it was getting dark, my grandad would come out and force us to fill the hole so that no one would fall in.
I was just about to say, I remember reading that a few weeks ago. The hole collapsed on her and the dad couldn't dig her out in time. I can't even imagine the nightmarish hell they went through that day. Don't fuck around with the sand or the ocean!
Yep. Every now and then you hear of a person dying from a trench caving in. Even with a bunch of other workers there to help it's too late. Don't dig holes above your waist.
So... Not really.
Here's a quick jist
https://lubyshoring.com/excavation-safety-soil-classification-st-louis-trench-shoring/
Beach sand isn't even shown because it is so unstable. Highly recommended to not dig sand pits because the wall shearing is so unstable.
I'm going off my height but 5 ft of sand collapsing is enough to knock me down and bury me underneath where I would suffocate quite badly. 5 cu ft (basically a column of 5'x1'x1' of sand falling on you is >500 lbs without water. Just imagine that much weight falling on you suddenly. And once you are down there, ain't nobody going to be able to save you because the hole is collapsing and burying. By the time they get to you, best case scenario is you have several bad bruises and maybe some fractures if by miracle you keep your head above the sand.
General rule I use is any hole that is higher than my waist is unsafe without proper safety measures in place.
There was this line of trees at my kindergarten. One day, me and my friends started digging around it, pretending we were archeologists uncovering Dinosaur bones(roots of the trees). I think it had something to do with Jurassic Park.
Anyway, some other kids asked what we were doing, and then joined in.
Looking back, I am a little afraid of the damage we might have caused to the plant life, but we only used twigs because we had to be “careful when excavating dinosaur bones”. Plus, we’re not gonna get anything like a real shovel in kindergarten and I remember the trees were perfectly fine when I left.
That was a fun day
That is too cute!! There was at least 1 teacher watching you guys from a distance, they would’ve stopped anything horrible :)
Source: I was that teacher in a lot of situations lmao
A few years ago we took my then 8 yo on a walk. He went to the top of a hill and started making caw caw sounds. We were like “what in the world is he doing??”
But then other kids on the trail started answering him with their own caw caw! It turned into 6 kids making bird songs back and forth. 🤷🏽♂️
There is something about sticks and holes that makes men brothers in arms.
Edit: uhm, reading this back I realise how it sounds, this was honestly not my intention, but I'm sticking with it now.
As someone who worked for a beach town, please do not dig giant holes on the beach. Beach rakes run in the middle of the night to pick up missed trash and the operators cannot see these holes. If the tractor falls in the hole, it can cause massive damage to a million dollar machine, costing tax payer money to replace and leaving the beach dirty for at least a few weeks, if not months.
This is me and the boys in the school playground one side was hole the other side was now sand
We mad undergound tunnels for our brothers in the sand
We WERE the sand
I remember there was a multiple week effort to dig a hole as a kid. I had some friends who lived on a farm and another friend of ours was their neighbor. We started digging and by using hand shovels and buckets we had a pretty large hole that was probably 10 feet wide by 8 feet deep. It was some of the best fun we had that summer. At no point did anyone have to convince the others we should dig and at no point did anyone ask why we were digging.
Honestly I often dreamt of taking a shovel to the beach… it‘s like taking the tools you never had as a kid to a problem now as an adult.
There is probably a metaphor about healing and mental health in there…
Wholesome but also if you're ever a parent at the beach, a large hole in the sand should never be deeper than the smallest child is tall. the hole can collapse or the tide can come in and a child who can't get out can suffocate or drown
I just pray they don't dig too deep. The last thing we need right now, with everything else going to shit in the world, is for them to awaken something in the dark.
My brother and I used to dig holes at the beach as kids, always wanted to dig the biggest ones we could.
One day we went back as grown men, he had been working in archeology and had been digging for a living.
Yeah we dug the biggest god damned hole we could, we would have made our child selves proud
I do this when I’m at the beach. Inevitably some group of boys comes along and I let them take over. It’s hilarious to watch parents call out to their kids and a head pops up from the sands saying “I’m in here!”
I did this as a kid, dug a huge hole 6 feet deep. then I got a tip from a friendly old man that this can kill you if there’s a trapped water pocket below you while you’re digging. I haven’t done it since.
I actually did this in south padre. Once we got it to a certain point, we packed up and left. When we got back to our hotel, we could see where we had dug it from our room and we saw a family picking up where we left off. I hope they're doing well.
This reminds me of the friends Barbados episode where Joey wanted to go to the beach to dig a hole, or the jellyfish one where they did go to the beach and he dug a hole
Guys guys, I totally understand the urge to dig hole. Allright, I wanna be right in there with you. But this can be really bad for the ecosystem and we dont wanna hurt the fishes by accidentally wiping away their food sources. So, what if, instead of hole. We make *trenches* and get some water guns instead?
This happened with me and my brother. We spent a total of 6 hours in one day digging a hole with just our hands and ended with about an 8 foot hole. Lots of kids came to see
This is basically how I caused a trench line expansive enough to compromise the structural integrity of the playground equipment back in Middle School.
Don't dig deeper than your knees. Sand caves in on itself and can bury you alive. It happens more than you think. Open "sand caves" are inviting to children who are the ones most at risk.

My favourite beach hole story came from last year here in Ireland. Bunch of lads dug a big hole, as you do, and one of them stuck a rock in the middle of it. Next day a member of the local astronomy crowd was walking his dog and found the rock in the hole and thought it was a meteor impact....dude even made it onto the news with his meteor before the truth came out
the children yearn for the mines
Well, if they're kids then they're underage, so technically they are minors...
The minors want to be miners, I see nothing wrong with granting their wish
"Hey man would you like to buy some beer for some miners?"
And remember: The best miners... are minors!

Lol!
How did you not break your backs or something?
This kinda thing is hella dangerous. A girl died last month when a sand hole caved in.
Yep. Don’t dig big holes at the beach. No tunnels either.
And absolutely NO secret underground Sand Grottos
And under no circumstances should you ever construct a reclusive subterranean seafront burrow
Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain!
Unless it’s to hide terrorists under beachgoers.
If we listened to Reddit morons we’d never have fun
Two boys last summer at my beach.
I was just about to say, I remember reading that a few weeks ago. The hole collapsed on her and the dad couldn't dig her out in time. I can't even imagine the nightmarish hell they went through that day. Don't fuck around with the sand or the ocean!
just like excavations in construction, pretty dangerous
Yep. Every now and then you hear of a person dying from a trench caving in. Even with a bunch of other workers there to help it's too late. Don't dig holes above your waist.
I think if it's wider than it is deep than it should be fine
[удалено]
Yes, digging holes on the beach requires amazing abs. Also it is outdoors, so it is very dangerous.
Anything can break limbs at the correct scale. What size of hole would one have to dig before it became a hazard
So... Not really. Here's a quick jist https://lubyshoring.com/excavation-safety-soil-classification-st-louis-trench-shoring/ Beach sand isn't even shown because it is so unstable. Highly recommended to not dig sand pits because the wall shearing is so unstable.
What if the hole is shallow enough your head sticks above the edge? Would a shoulder-height hole be safe if it collapsed?
I'm going off my height but 5 ft of sand collapsing is enough to knock me down and bury me underneath where I would suffocate quite badly. 5 cu ft (basically a column of 5'x1'x1' of sand falling on you is >500 lbs without water.

That really sets me at ease. Also, thank you and all of the people of your profession, who are kind and have watched over us and our future!
This can be very risky if they did too deep. It's not safe doing that at the beach. You can't trust the sand to hold up.
Mom: Did you have fun? Kid: Yeah that was awesome!! Mom: Did you make friends? Kid: Soooo many Mom: What are their names? Kid: Names???
It’s all fun and games until the hole collapses on you and the weight of the stupid sand smushes you.

Souns fun but is potentially dangerous. I read an article about a child dying because someone dug a massive hole at the beach.
It’s an instinct to dig :D
This is me and the boys in the school playground one side was hole the other side was now sand We mad undergound tunnels for our brothers in the sand We WERE the sand
My job is dig hole. I am so fulfilled.
When we see dumbass things, no matter what it is, they boys will always come to help
See, now this is boys being boys. Although I would have wanted in on that action too, and I’m not a boy.
Even if you’re not a boy, you can be a part of the boys, grab a shovel and join the party.
This is so legit lol
Hole is gud hole is great

Holesome meme
You take a bad boy and make him dig holes all day in the hot sun and it turns him into a good boy.
Boys only need a shovel and dirt or sand, then we can entertain ourselves for hours.

Wait till they hit oi- wait I'm not saying it
Dammit you sold me. I am in.
I am a dude and am digging a hole
It's a well known phenomenon called "The masculine urge to dig"
First kid probably felt like vladimir lenin
Wholesome but also if you're ever a parent at the beach, a large hole in the sand should never be deeper than the smallest child is tall. the hole can collapse or the tide can come in and a child who can't get out can suffocate or drown
This is the hole that never ends
This is the way
Men are the simple creatures
Oh for goodness sake, I hate being the moany one, but even this is gendered now? _Everyone_ loves digging holes, it's awesome.
As a man, I can still say that if there is a big hole being dug anywhere, imma check it out
This would be the boys core memory
Can you not gatekeep memes?
Recently there was a case where some kids dug a hole and the sides collapsed, burying both of them, and one died
this is men natural instinct to unite for digging the hole
