turkishdelight, Dying on Mount Everest is actually pretty easy to avoid.
Roflmasterbigpimp, 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.
Mr_Blott,
Siegfried, Do they ever retrieve the bodies or there is some place where they tend to accumulate, like a gigantic human plinko?
Bishma, (edited ) It works on me. My sense of self has been replaced by the Ralph Wiggum “I’m in danger” meme.
asteriskeverything, (edited ) 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
Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited ) 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.
apocalypticat, 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.
zqwzzle, (edited ) “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,
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.
moosetwin,

jeffw, (edited ) 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.
