turkishdelight,

Dying on Mount Everest is actually pretty easy to avoid.

There are many things I can get a kick out of and have played with in my mind, like seafaring. But climbing a damn rock, which just gets colder while it’s getting harder to breathe? No, thank you.

Siegfried,

Do they ever retrieve the bodies or there is some place where they tend to accumulate, like a gigantic human plinko?

It works on me. My sense of self has been replaced by the Ralph Wiggum “I’m in danger” meme.

I wanna say fun fact but I lacking a source beyond a podcast episode. I do feel that fits the spirit of the meme tho so fun fact most childhood human trafficing victims are youth that identify with the LGBTQA+ and lost their entire support network after coming out. But that’s not as appealing sooo

you’re wrong about - sound of freedom

you’re wrong about- human trafficing

Maybe i lack an adventurous spirit but if someone told me they climbed Mount Everest, I just think their privilege is showing and apparently are the type to invent problems that don’t need solving.

asteriskeverything,

I know this must be a quote but also fuck it, hard agree man.

Fun fact: I made a histogram of the deaths on Mount Everest https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/defd754e-4efc-4c2d-ab20-bbbae071a810.png

mindbleach,

My Neighbor Totoro opened as a double feature with Grave Of The Fireflies.

“High Crimes” is a graphic novel about a disgraced Olympian who now carries dead bodies off Everest for a high fee.

“Fun” fact: chainsaws (not a forestry chainsaw, think more of those portable survival chain saws) were invented by an obstetrician to more quickly separate the pelvis for difficult childbirth.

Also consider: electricity, germ theory and anaesthetics were not developed at this point.

IsoSpandy,

We still use manual driven chain saws in orthopedics surgeries.

zqwzzle,

Is that the osteotome, or is there a newer name?

IsoSpandy,

Na na… The osteotome is a blade(if you want to call it that) with cutting surface on both sides. It is the bone saw

Osteotome

Bone saw

Apparently Google says both of them of as osteotome, but my medical books never referred to them as such… So who knows

zqwzzle,

Both terrifying in different ways.

Sorgan71,

Everest is covered in dead bodies and poop

orphiebaby,

And trash. Lots of trash.

Rodeo,

I like to call a singular piece of trivia a trivion.

Fun fact: Wikipedia has a shit ton of lists about how people die

Edit: a list of lists about death: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_deaths

Aurenkin,

I haven’t checked the link but I suspect that list is very far from complete based on the url.

son_named_bort,

My favorite list was list of murdered hip hop musicians.
