Jump from high enough and it might as well be concrete.

Can confirm, my brother broke his neck

Sometimes I pretend

floor is lava, for the rush

It basically is if you jump from high enough, due to surface tension.

I don't like this. Not everything can be bubblegum and gumdrops, but this is promoting suicide and as a person that has been very close to that point, i hate this.

To be clear, this may not have been the artist's intention, but it's how it read to me.

There's an annual death diving competition in Norway. It's also spreading to other countries.

The current world record in height is 31.3 meters and is held by three competing athletes: Ken Stornes (No), Tore Våge (No), and Côme Girardot (Fr). Among the women, the record is 24.8 meters and is set by Norwegian Asbjørg Nesje

They should do it from twice as high and it'll live up to it's name real fast!

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Just go higher and higher until the jumper doesn't come up, and call that the next record to beat...

[-] googlesnarfen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I was at the Stockholm event the other day. Great atmosphere, and pretty ducking sick tricks they were pulling off. Good times!

That's a great strip! I like the style and can remotely relate to the feeling.

I would love to see more - Keep up the good work!

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah I wouldn't make it a habit to practice diving into concrete from high above.

I like to pretend its water

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

I really like this OP. This is a fun coping mechanism.

[-] hereticpilgrim@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I really like the way you spaced the text as well as the simplicity of this. It reminds me of A Softer World in a really good way.

[-] Alcatorda@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

A Softer World is brilliant. Love coming across this in the wild ♥️

[-] xuxebiko@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I like your stuff. Your first one was very relatable. this one too in a existentialist testing the limits sort of way.

keep up the good work.
