Came here to find a Mitch Hedberg reference; was not disappointed

I very much appreciate the correct use of POV.

Can't the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it's without power?

[–] bonn2@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, but that would be very funny

You're right they don't flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill

escalator temporarily slide

[–] GrievingWidow420@feddit.it 5 points 6 months ago

No, this particular escalator does not include emergency slide mechanism, although this would've helped OP in such troublesome situation.

If only there were emergency stairs...

It's clearly fake, it's the inside of a building and lights are on.

How would you fake a photo like this! There clearly is no movement, no doubt about that!
