I love how know one realizes that the humidity percentage is how much of the air is water so this means it’s underwater. But yeah, I work in a warehouse in Georgia and I wholeheartedly agree Update: thanks to everyone who has helped learn what humidity actually is because I was misinformed in school.
The creepiest part of this is how children are naturally frightened of going into the pit and how the corporation had to put so much effort into making seem OK.
Imagine lying down for a nap, and then you get a really bad stomach ache. And you wake up, and ants have just made little tiny mounds all over your back and are actively crawling in your mouth and down your throat. I have leveled up and unlocked: *A new Nightmare*
>comes to Earth >takes a nap >wakes up only to realize that a bunch of weird, microscopic monkeys have built a national park inside your mouth >park collapses >vomits >goes back to sleep
Not only all of that, but they pumped it full of drugs to get it to go back to sleep, it coughed, puked, moved its arm so it wasn't lying on it and fell back asleep high off its gourd. So a good lazy sunday morning.
@SurvivorPrepper1776 True... Humans are much less smart than monkeys. Monkeys wouldn't be dumb enough to build a theme park in a giant monster's guts, do I really need to provide any more evidence than that?
To be fair, if people built an entire giant shopping mall inside me, filmed freaking...adult funtimes films inside of me and sold them in the gift shop of said mall, AND named parts of my anatomy things like "God's Mistake"...I'd be kinda pissed off too!
the funniest thing, to me, about this whole thing is that in this universe there is the possibility that a documentary made by Defunctland exists in their world's youtube.
Everyone's saying how this would make a great survival horror game but I really want a management sim. Try to keep investors, corporate, the government, workers and guests happy while having as few horrific deaths as possible.
Having as few "known" horrific deaths as possible. And make a point of turning the ones you can't avoid becoming public knowledge into "lessons about why visitors need to listen to you".
Imagine you're taking a nap and suddenly you cough after what you think is accidentally inhaling some spit, and then realize you can't close your mouth and then suddenly you puke. All this while you're still groggy af because you were just sleeping.

@@msobota4080 I wouldn't be surprised, but technically the Soviet Union wasn't actually communist. Communism has never been implemented in any country.
That price gouged water becomes even more egregious when you find that, in one of the poster, there's a note that warns guests to drink more water as the pit is "known to leech water from guests".
There’s another notice where they tell you not to bring outside food and water. It figures they force you to throw away your water as you enter the park gates just like any other park that will require you to walk long distances. People are going to be forced to buy inflated waters. *sigh*
@@trevors.5922 hey, buddy, its also scientifically impossible to have a giant flesh pit in the ground. Scientific impossibility kinda went out the window
I'd love to see a fake documentary of this concept. Victims with slightly healed digestion wounds, footage of the inside as it collapses, acted out footage of events they couldn't capture such as the calcified performers, etc.
imagine one of the testimonies being from one of the brains connected to a computer, and before the camera crew walks in you could see lines upon lines of "kill me" getting frantically deleted by its caretaker
@@coreym162 I see where you are getting at. But 90s movies like fight club hated corporations and consumerism in general. The 80s on the on the other hand had a weird hard on for the evil MegaCorp like in Robocop, Aliens, Terminator, and Blade Runner. The mining company that controls the flesh pit will fit in perfectly with weyland-yutani and Omnicorp.
Hahaha that's actually a pretty accurate assessment, so a blend of They Lives timeless corporate/political cynicism/the body horror of thing..with some of the satire of big trouble? Carpenters movies always had a cynicism about the Reagan nightmare they lived in, especially NY/LA, starmans like his only optimistic movie Idk though he got incredibly tired of Hollywood after nobody appreciated his movies at the time, maybe it could've been a low budget classic
Another note on how massive this thing is: it takes six months to inhale and six months to exhale. Visitors were only allowed in the "lung" structures during Winter and Spring during its "inhale" cycle.
@@mintsmooth860 it was asleep beforehand, and considering how large it is, probably has faster responses to things like drowning or poisoning (a little water in one’s lungs is really not good)
@@mintsmooth860breathing while asleep is comparatively quite slow. The heart rate can dip to 40bpm. Coughing however is a rapid, involuntary set of muscle spasms. The fact that it took that long to cough, when a regular human takes like a second, is already a huge deal
For those who want to explore it themselves, there's actually a fairly detailed and well-made roblox game for it, as ridiculous as that sounds. You're literally just dropped in to one of the structures and can go exploring pretty much wherever you want, it follows the source material impressively well. There's even usually players online who are happy to give tours, was definitely an amusing experience to have a probably 13 year old tour guide tell me not to go down that side cave because I'd be horrifically mauled by a brood of pit fiends
Imagine knowing someone in your family or friends circle who went to an orgy at the mystery flesh pit…imagine your SO cheated on you by diving in the pit! Smh

They def based it in reality and especially the way humans will use whatever materials they can get their hands on to make profit. Knowing what people use from animals or deep from the earth in our foods or mass production; I could see humans going into a live creature just to use their body parts or fluids for profits. Eerily based in reality and therefore so much more enjoyable
I wish they were more courageous, it's like how scp articles could make the perfect shows or even full length films and yet no one even tries to adapt them
@@trippy0752 it may happen eventually. People do adapt them into games and short films right now so it’s headed into that direction. We saw a few Creepypasta get a TV adaption and (not the best examples narratively, but still something that started online) Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddys have become mainstream and made into movies. We’ve even seen viral Twitter threads adapted. TVs shows and musical artists have started using the ARG/unfiction format to advertise. Hollywood has started looking more and more into internet creations for ideas. I think it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the norm to adapt internet stories, creations, and other viral media.
The 38 people returning to the Pit is a lot more tragic than sinister actually. According to Trevor's QnA from November 2021 they were just survivors who rushed back to desperately search for loved ones and friends who were still trapped (and likely already dead) in the Pit. That's something I like about the disaster. Ultimately the monster didn't really do anything wrong or malicious. The 2007 tragedy was all our own fault. It choked on water pouring into its lungs because our equipment failed, then got sick and threw up because we filled it drugs to make it stop coughing. None of which would've happened if park management hadn't extended operating hours. All those people died because of human error, not the Lovecraftian horror beneath the Earth.
It was just a creature that no one would know about if humans didnt decide to mess with it. Even the monsters inside it were pretty much just protecting their host.
One thing I'm still curious about is, was nobody who attended the Fourth of July celebrations offered, just, their money back? Cuz it seems like a lot of this could've been avoided if the company just gave refunds and coupons like candy on Halloween.
exactly. What's really annoying to me is everyone acts like this is lovecraftian horror or example of human arrogance, but it's really not. The entire point of lovecraftian horror is that there are things beyond our comprehension that we can't even hope to do anything about, so greater than us that they're not even subject to the same limitations of existance as us. But this? No, we won. Our technology let us successfully meet and overcome the new environment, and we did it so well that an entire economy was spun up in it's organs. If I have a hotel operating inside of your nuts, you aren't the one in charge here. Is it any more dangerous than early coal mines? Is it any more dangerous than going to space? Is it any more dangerous than going to the top of a mountain? Is it any more dangerous than getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to magically levitate to your destination by just running *_reaaaallllly_* fast and then hoping air pushes you up on it's own? What about getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to float your way across a body of water so large that we've still not been able to map even a fraction of it - so large that if you don't bring your own water, you'd die of dehydration before reaching the other side? (even faster if you try to drink it because it's entirely made of water that makes you more thirsty.) This wasn't a tragedy because of the dragon, it was a tragedy because of a perfect storm, arguably not even human error. The miners weren't necessarily in the wrong for taking on a bit of overtime, the resort wasn't necessarily in the wrong for letting people stay a bit longer than they would normally, etc. It was just a perfect storm of people making independently reasonable decisions, that none the less had disasterous consequences when put in just the wrong circumstances. If any one thing had been different there wouldn't have been any issues. If it hadn't been July 4th? No issues. If there hadn't of been a storm? No issues. If the miners were already off for the holiday? No issues. If the relay didn't fail? No issues. If the pump didn't fail? No issues. If communications had been better? No issues. It's arguably an example of human stupidity, but not arrogance or, necessarily, lovecraftian horror. If it woke up before we found it? Yeah, I could see an argument for lovecraftian horror, but we already got inside of it before it so much as rolled over. It's hard to be horrified of something when you're holding the detonator to a bomb in it's lungs. I mean, the thing's organs are about as big as human megastructures, which also means that they're small enough to be utterly devastated by nuclear devices. Whatever skin the thing may or may not have would probably be resillient to warheads, but I doubt it has nuke-proof guts if a few metal stints can hold open it's muscles and it has a noticable immune reaction to human attempts to drug it.
@@robonator2945I like watching channels that cover and discuss tragic accidents, like fires, amusement park accidents, etc. And you quickly notice that things like that overwhelmingly happen for one of two reasons. 1. An existing safety hazard that those in charge already knew about but chose to ignore. Sometimes for years. And everything could've been prevented and nobody had to die if it had been dealt with but fixing it would be "too expensive". Depressingly this is most commonly the reason and most tragic accidents could've been avoided. Or 2. A freak perfect storm of things happening that would've been fine by themselves but mixed together in the most unlucky way possible, and nobody is really to blame. Just sheer bad luck. The July 4th tragedy probably counts as a bit of both.
Not to go off topic, but this is why within their universe, the SCP foundation are absolutely necessary, because without them, every single anomaly would be turned into a theme park.
assertive enterpreneurship at it's finest... if something exists, there will always be someone willing to make a profit on it, be it malignant cancer, tapeworm eggs, 4000 year old mummies or corpse juice.
This also works as a horror story for giant flesh pits, as they have to worry about their body being used commercially as a tourist attraction and hundreds of people every day exploring through their insides, taking parts of them as souvenirs and to use for themselves, and ultimately having no control over what these hoards of people do inside of them and how they treat the various parts of them that are keeping them alive
1:02:29 Just want to note, Trevor Roberts has said, “It wasn’t an accident that in the 2007 disaster report that the three “Intrapit Lifeforms” that actively hunt down visitors on the surface aren’t called or mentioned to be Abyssal Copepods. There are bigger and angrier things in the deep. Things that hunt Abyssal Copepods. Things the pit actually notices.” So it wasn’t the Copepods, it was something so much worse.
I just feel the REAL srong need to emphasize just how terrifying that is, like, imagine a creature so big intestinal fauna is x6 the size of an average human

I love how realistically depicted the accident is. Considering this whole thing is treated like an amusement park of sorts, it makes sense that its downfall would be due to human negligence and not the creature itself. It's like a Defunctland episode but with...meat.
You know it occurs to me that if someone from a alternate timeline saw people referring to The Chernobyl Incident without it being a part of their timelines history they'd probably be feeling exactly what this sort of Horror Worldbuilding was intended to inspire. Just that sort of shared cultural understanding and the implications of what it would take to make that sort of impact upon so many cultures.
This reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl videogame so much. Imagine, a post 2007 disaster gameplay, with the paranormal surrounding it. The amount of lore that is in this ARG would make for such a timeless game. (would seriously play this for hours).
This is one of my comfort videos. I don't know why. I rewatch it every few months, especially if I'm home alone. I think it speaks to how well this story is crafted, and how well Wendi retells it, that it really feels like a tour and review of a real park
I live in Dallas and I make trips with my sister to midland every once in a while for business. The biggest thing that intrigued me about this story is the man worked in the oil industry. When we drive towards and into midland, all you can see are oil fields. Don’t know if this adds any credibility to the story?
Same for me. This is kind of a special video. It feels like it captures me more than any other video of his. Sad thing is I could never find any video on UA-cam that gave me the same feeling. I would love the expansion of this lore.
This is so fun, the immediate reaction is always "Why would people EVER go near that for fun" People go to see the acidic lakes in Yellowstone, camp in bear and cougar infested forests, go cave exploring where dozens have tragically died in horrific ways Humans ARE space orks
Also Mt Everest which is one of the biggest bucket list goals ever, a mountain which literally uses ETERNALLY FROZEN HUMAN BODIES AS LANDMARKS DURING THE HIKE
Well, if you didn't know people have guns to shoot bears and cougars. And I hate when people use 'people' as if every fucker wants to go spelunking through the deepest caves in the world.

Perfect argument against theories like flat earth: if such a thing was true, the edge of the flat earth would have been made a tourist attraction in the 50s. There would be zip lines and everything.
The thing that caught me off guard the most was when i looked up the organism chart thinking it's like "oh they probably ripped this off of an old science book for fauna from the past" but no, it's all Flesh pit. and as it goes on i can't help but be blown away by how dedicated they are to illustrate this alternate reality in a way that makes you think "yeah Disney would've definitely done this". From the map to the warning signs, everything just breaths this aura that someone was commissioned by a wealthy park tycoon to showcase the grandeur and magnificence of his empire. In an age where ARG and horror stories content consists almost entirely of altered existing content, this makes me feel like i've just discovered horror all over again.
It’s like an episode of magic school bus that went horribly wrong. Imagine the teacher being like “ Hey kids, we are going to the mystery flesh pit!” and all the kids cheering.
I could imagine posts on the internet in that universe like "People who visited the mystery flesh pit before the incident, what was the scariest thing you saw?"
The thing that scares me the most about this is the scale of this super organism. It coughed, threw up a bit, moved its arm slightly, and then fell back asleep, and all this seemingly small movement caused insane destruction across the entire continent. Something that big is terrifying
That sign was inspired by a similar sign by an entrance to an underwater cave. Same phrase, same death count flip-board. It's just another flooded cave, like hundreds others, it just has particularly nasty layout where people get lost in water turning opaque due to stirred mud, and is big and branched enough if you do get lost you'll run out of oxygen before you find your way out. At least the ritualistic parts aren't there, people die in that cave simply because they want to test themselves against this particularly dangerous cave, nobody expects gifts or answers.

Kinda like "the CSA" from a few years ago, a "documentary" from another universe that just...popped its way over to ours somehow, and its played entirely straight, just casually mentioning things that we have NO CLUE ABOUT because it didnt happen in our universe, but EVERYONE there knows it, so they have no need to explain it...
For me, this is peak Lovecraftian horror and the best explanation why eldritch entities aren't necessarily evil. We wouldn't call a human evil for not caring about a single dying cell, microbe or pathogen in our body.
Yeah, people just entered its mouth, what's it supposed to do? Stop its own internal workings to help out some creatures it would probably need a microscope to see anyway?
The poor thing had no way of communicating with humans, either. From its perspective it's just weird pain and discomfort. Maybe it WAS intelligent, but it's not like humanity cared about communicating with it.
The most fascinating part about this is how some of the people who were rescued crawled back inside the pit. That and the fact that the sign on the electric fence said “it does not have a gift for you” makes me think that the pit has some kind of psychological effect on people that make them want to be inside it. That also might explain why the people in this universe are less afraid of the idea of exploring and building a national park out of it than we would expect. Whether this only effects people that have been inside it, or it effects the people around it, I’m not sure.
Even the guy who found it got that impression. Mr. Simple oil man didn't contact a priest when he found a bloody hole in the ground, he saw dollar signs
@@lithuaniaball To be fair that's American capitalism for you. If anything can make them money, even if it puts people in danger, then they'll still do it.
That strange psychological influence WAS ACTUALLY INTRODUCED AND SUBTLY SET UP! We know that the concentrated amniotic fluids have very strong psychoactive and mind-altering effects. People in contact with strong doses felt a very deep physical and emotional resonance. All this time, they assumed that those feelings were for the other people around them, but maybe the true purpose of the amniotic fluid was to draw people towards the superorganism itself, like flies to honey paper. It's entirely possible that the 38 people who returned to the organism had been exposed to the strongest pools of amniotic fluid during the vomiting event. The brochure even mentioned that people should get religious and psychological counseling before attempting the strongest amniotic love domes.
When I heard that the people were seen clambering back into the beast, I immediately thought that the people inhaled or ingested some kind of hormone that forced them into mindless, seemingly natural subservience to the pit - doing the only thing their inner mind can do which is to return to their perceived mother.
I used to work at a McDonald's and I can confirm the ice cream machine never worked and it's because the same thing is top loaded and it's like seven feet tall.and the bags used to load it with are corner opened then poured in so it will spill, it will take forever to clean up and so we just stopped ordering the mix because it was such a pain in the ass and we were too busy to ever do it so it say there like a monolith to corporate idiocy and impraticality.
I would feel bad for everyone who died in this disaster, but honestly, they knew exactly what they were getting into when they went shopping in a place called "The Mystery Fleshpit"
You know, sometimes simple terminology can add so much to a story like this. Like in the incident report, the phrase “geo-biological” being used to describe a creature so massive it becomes part of the landscape somehow hits harder than any more poetic explanation could have
I have one of those shout out to Mr. Topliff Edit: Good man Good man Eddit: Honestly deserves more love he's been a teacher for 20 years and still loves his job
the spanish inquisition could be a reference for Juan Ponce's search for the fountain of youth, meaning the tale of the fountain of youth came from the flesh pit's ballast fluid
Fountain of youth reminds me of pirate's of the Caribbean DS game at the end where you break into a tomb and found the fountain, also if you've ever watched the movie "Dances with wolves" the Indian chief talks about a helmet from the Spanish conquistadors and how it was his great Grandpas, and how their tribe moved north generations ago so maybe that's how the armor was found
Well... our bodies are full of microorganisms that reproduce inside our bodies and all over our skin so. It's probably not much different for the pit. Which was already full of other creatures before we found it.
The part about the clowns being turned into a monument sounds horrific, but still not that out there because stuff like that happens on Mt. Everest. Basically there's a lot of bodies on the trail from climbers who perished that are now used a markers, the most famous being "Green Boots". And I think that shows just how good the author is at worldbuilding in a way that blends horror and parody.
There's one more thing people seem to look over, this thing has a chemical that makes people "in the mood" which means this thing can breed. Which means there's more of them.
it could be an unintended effect, simply a quirk of its interaction with human biochemistry, that or the perhaps the creature has some inscrutable reason to want things that enter it to breed.
The 70s and 80s were wild times. You never hear about a person from the 1950s or 1990s digging up a giant Lovecraftian horror to turn into a themepark.
I love that the event that shuts the park is human failure. I think that's why this series is so compelling. There are so many real world parallels with this. Amusement parks which have been poorly managed resulting in horrible deaths. Hotels built so poorly they crush guests. Also major Chernobyl vibes with the "control room" and "night shift" changeover.
The signs up around the area to discourage people from going in reminds me of those "this is not a place of honor" signs that are supposed to be placed on irradiated areas
The human failure would be trying to make this creature into a park, to begin with. They should have just left it alone instead of trying to tame and explore it
@@MrAnthonyIII well considering the benefits its body can provide (rejuvenation and advanced computer parts) it would justify the exploration and mining but the shopping mall was a bad idea
"I dont think a nuke will do anything." I dunno man, shoving an artificial sun deep down the gullet of a supermassive gore dragon will do a whole lot more damage than a spicy pepper.
The person who made this also made a government dossier suggesting courses of action. One in particular specifically noted nuclear detonations would be ineffective. Which makes sense, in hindsight. Nukes, as nice as they are, aren't actually terribly powerful compared to nature. A hurricane has hundreds of times the energy, and the flesh pit itself stretches down to the top layers of the mantle. A nuke would be like smacking your knee with a rubber mallet. It's more likely to wake the flesh pit up.
I'd also imagine the bomb wouldn't make it very far, plus I wonder how it'd react to having something hot going down what is essentially its mouth, like when you accidentally put something that was hotter than you expected into your mouth
imo if rain water is enough to make it choke and people drugged it enough to make it throw up a couple dozen nukes should trash its lungs if we get them there
@@Hispanortodoxo I'm saying capitalism as a joke, and a reference to the fact that opening the park was mainly for profit.

It even makes sense that they would use some type of industrial strength anti acid and that would calcify the people! Because that is EXACTLY what happens when humans use anti acid when they have too much stomach acid or heartburn. They use Tums (which is just pure calcium) and Pepto-Bismol etc and what those do is neutralizes the stomach acid by calcifying it and turning it into flakes. Dude the author is an absolute FANTASTIC writer! This is so well written and he doesn't even consider himself a writer! He considers himself a graphic artist (which he is too). But his writing is just on a whole nother level! His creativity and imagination is just light-years ahead of what 99.9% of professional writers are doing. Heck Hollywood hasn't even put out one movie with an original idea in years much less a *good* original idea.

I also think it's a really creative way to tell the story through Park brochures and signs and advertisements.

@@trippy0752 it may happen eventually. People do adapt them into games and short films right now so it’s headed into that direction. We saw a few Creepypasta get a TV adaption and (not the best examples narratively, but still something that started online) Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddys have become mainstream and made into movies. We’ve even seen viral Twitter threads adapted. TVs shows and musical artists have started using the ARG/unfiction format to advertise. Hollywood has started looking more and more into internet creations for ideas. I think it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the norm to adapt internet stories, creations, and other viral media.
I don't agree with that semtiment, some movies are just easy cash, then you have movies like Lamb or Underwater, at least recently.
The 38 people returning to the Pit is a lot more tragic than sinister actually. According to Trevor's QnA from November 2021 they were just survivors who rushed back to desperately search for loved ones and friends who were still trapped (and likely already dead) in the Pit.
That's something I like about the disaster. Ultimately the monster didn't really do anything wrong or malicious. The 2007 tragedy was all our own fault. It choked on water pouring into its lungs because our equipment failed, then got sick and threw up because we filled it drugs to make it stop coughing. None of which would've happened if park management hadn't extended operating hours.
All those people died because of human error, not the Lovecraftian horror beneath the Earth.
It was just a creature that no one would know about if humans didnt decide to mess with it. Even the monsters inside it were pretty much just protecting their host.
One thing I'm still curious about is, was nobody who attended the Fourth of July celebrations offered, just, their money back? Cuz it seems like a lot of this could've been avoided if the company just gave refunds and coupons like candy on Halloween.
exactly. What's really annoying to me is everyone acts like this is lovecraftian horror or example of human arrogance, but it's really not. The entire point of lovecraftian horror is that there are things beyond our comprehension that we can't even hope to do anything about, so greater than us that they're not even subject to the same limitations of existance as us. But this? No, we won. Our technology let us successfully meet and overcome the new environment, and we did it so well that an entire economy was spun up in it's organs. If I have a hotel operating inside of your nuts, you aren't the one in charge here.
Is it any more dangerous than early coal mines? Is it any more dangerous than going to space? Is it any more dangerous than going to the top of a mountain? Is it any more dangerous than getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to magically levitate to your destination by just running *_reaaaallllly_* fast and then hoping air pushes you up on it's own? What about getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to float your way across a body of water so large that we've still not been able to map even a fraction of it - so large that if you don't bring your own water, you'd die of dehydration before reaching the other side? (even faster if you try to drink it because it's entirely made of water that makes you more thirsty.)
This wasn't a tragedy because of the dragon, it was a tragedy because of a perfect storm, arguably not even human error. The miners weren't necessarily in the wrong for taking on a bit of overtime, the resort wasn't necessarily in the wrong for letting people stay a bit longer than they would normally, etc. It was just a perfect storm of people making independently reasonable decisions, that none the less had disasterous consequences when put in just the wrong circumstances. If any one thing had been different there wouldn't have been any issues. If it hadn't been July 4th? No issues. If there hadn't of been a storm? No issues. If the miners were already off for the holiday? No issues. If the relay didn't fail? No issues. If the pump didn't fail? No issues. If communications had been better? No issues.
It's arguably an example of human stupidity, but not arrogance or, necessarily, lovecraftian horror. If it woke up before we found it? Yeah, I could see an argument for lovecraftian horror, but we already got inside of it before it so much as rolled over. It's hard to be horrified of something when you're holding the detonator to a bomb in it's lungs. I mean, the thing's organs are about as big as human megastructures, which also means that they're small enough to be utterly devastated by nuclear devices. Whatever skin the thing may or may not have would probably be resillient to warheads, but I doubt it has nuke-proof guts if a few metal stints can hold open it's muscles and it has a noticable immune reaction to human attempts to drug it.
This makes alot more sense than why I thought the people were crawling back to the pit
@@robonator2945I like watching channels that cover and discuss tragic accidents, like fires, amusement park accidents, etc. And you quickly notice that things like that overwhelmingly happen for one of two reasons.
1. An existing safety hazard that those in charge already knew about but chose to ignore. Sometimes for years. And everything could've been prevented and nobody had to die if it had been dealt with but fixing it would be "too expensive". Depressingly this is most commonly the reason and most tragic accidents could've been avoided.
Or 2. A freak perfect storm of things happening that would've been fine by themselves but mixed together in the most unlucky way possible, and nobody is really to blame. Just sheer bad luck.
The July 4th tragedy probably counts as a bit of both.

This also works as a horror story for giant flesh pits, as they have to worry about their body being used commercially as a tourist attraction and hundreds of people every day exploring through their insides, taking parts of them as souvenirs and to use for themselves, and ultimately having no control over what these hoards of people do inside of them and how they treat the various parts of them that are keeping them alive
Can confirm. As a giant flesh pit myself this is one of my greatest fears.
"What if bacteria in your body had capitalism?" is in fact horrifying.
1:02:29 Just want to note, Trevor Roberts has said,
“It wasn’t an accident that in the 2007 disaster report that the three “Intrapit Lifeforms” that actively hunt down visitors on the surface aren’t called or mentioned to be Abyssal Copepods. There are bigger and angrier things in the deep. Things that hunt Abyssal Copepods. Things the pit actually notices.”
So it wasn’t the Copepods, it was something so much worse.

You know it occurs to me that if someone from a alternate timeline saw people referring to The Chernobyl Incident without it being a part of their timelines history they'd probably be feeling exactly what this sort of Horror Worldbuilding was intended to inspire. Just that sort of shared cultural understanding and the implications of what it would take to make that sort of impact upon so many cultures.

From the map to the warning signs, everything just breaths this aura that someone was commissioned by a wealthy park tycoon to showcase the grandeur and magnificence of his empire.

That sign was inspired by a similar sign by an entrance to an underwater cave. Same phrase, same death count flip-board. It's just another flooded cave, like hundreds others, it just has particularly nasty layout where people get lost in water turning opaque due to stirred mud, and is big and branched enough if you do get lost you'll run out of oxygen before you find your way out. At least the ritualistic parts aren't there, people die in that cave simply because they want to test themselves against this particularly dangerous cave, nobody expects gifts or answers.

The most fascinating part about this is how some of the people who were rescued crawled back inside the pit. That and the fact that the sign on the electric fence said “it does not have a gift for you” makes me think that the pit has some kind of psychological effect on people that make them want to be inside it. That also might explain why the people in this universe are less afraid of the idea of exploring and building a national park out of it than we would expect. Whether this only effects people that have been inside it, or it effects the people around it, I’m not sure.
And the whole clown thing being "beautiful", essentially the monster brainwashing people to be consumed.
Even the guy who found it got that impression. Mr. Simple oil man didn't contact a priest when he found a bloody hole in the ground, he saw dollar signs
@@lithuaniaball To be fair that's American capitalism for you. If anything can make them money, even if it puts people in danger, then they'll still do it.
That strange psychological influence WAS ACTUALLY INTRODUCED AND SUBTLY SET UP! We know that the concentrated amniotic fluids have very strong psychoactive and mind-altering effects. People in contact with strong doses felt a very deep physical and emotional resonance. All this time, they assumed that those feelings were for the other people around them, but maybe the true purpose of the amniotic fluid was to draw people towards the superorganism itself, like flies to honey paper. It's entirely possible that the 38 people who returned to the organism had been exposed to the strongest pools of amniotic fluid during the vomiting event. The brochure even mentioned that people should get religious and psychological counseling before attempting the strongest amniotic love domes.
When I heard that the people were seen clambering back into the beast, I immediately thought that the people inhaled or ingested some kind of hormone that forced them into mindless, seemingly natural subservience to the pit - doing the only thing their inner mind can do which is to return to their perceived mother.

and yet they "inexplicably" went back into the pit
I would feel bad for everyone who died in this disaster, but honestly, they knew exactly what they were getting into when they went shopping in a place called "The Mystery Fleshpit"
You know, sometimes simple terminology can add so much to a story like this. Like in the incident report, the phrase “geo-biological” being used to describe a creature so massive it becomes part of the landscape somehow hits harder than any more poetic explanation could have
"Fleshscape" too, like dear God that's good
When they combine two known words to make something you can’t even imagine is TERRIFYING.

the spanish inquisition could be a reference for Juan Ponce's search for the fountain of youth, meaning the tale of the fountain of youth came from the flesh pit's ballast fluid
Brilliant. And could possibly tie-in that it's Jörmungandr sleeping until the time of Ragnarok... 😬
Fountain of youth reminds me of pirate's of the Caribbean DS game at the end where you break into a tomb and found the fountain, also if you've ever watched the movie "Dances with wolves" the Indian chief talks about a helmet from the Spanish conquistadors and how it was his great Grandpas, and how their tribe moved north generations ago so maybe that's how the armor was found

Well... our bodies are full of microorganisms that reproduce inside our bodies and all over our skin so. It's probably not much different for the pit. Which was already full of other creatures before we found it.

I love that the event that shuts the park is human failure. I think that's why this series is so compelling. There are so many real world parallels with this. Amusement parks which have been poorly managed resulting in horrible deaths. Hotels built so poorly they crush guests. Also major Chernobyl vibes with the "control room" and "night shift" changeover.
The signs up around the area to discourage people from going in reminds me of those "this is not a place of honor" signs that are supposed to be placed on irradiated areas
The human failure would be trying to make this creature into a park, to begin with. They should have just left it alone instead of trying to tame and explore it

The person who made this also made a government dossier suggesting courses of action. One in particular specifically noted nuclear detonations would be ineffective.
Which makes sense, in hindsight. Nukes, as nice as they are, aren't actually terribly powerful compared to nature. A hurricane has hundreds of times the energy, and the flesh pit itself stretches down to the top layers of the mantle. A nuke would be like smacking your knee with a rubber mallet. It's more likely to wake the flesh pit up.
I thought the [contingency mesure ] was gonna be like detonating a nuke deep inside the flesh pit.
I'd also imagine the bomb wouldn't make it very far, plus I wonder how it'd react to having something hot going down what is essentially its mouth, like when you accidentally put something that was hotter than you expected into your mouth
imo if rain water is enough to make it choke and people drugged it enough to make it throw up a couple dozen nukes should trash its lungs if we get them there

This is amazing because all of the "science terms" make sense, instead of just being random techy jargon. It makes it so much more understandable and realistic. Truly horrific
YES! This is what true science fiction is supposed to be! He did so much research it seems plausible. It even makes sense that they would use some type of industrial strength anti acid and that would calcify the people! Because that is EXACTLY what happens when humans use anti acid when they have too much stomach acid or heartburn. They use Tums (which is just pure calcium) and Pepto-Bismol etc and what those do is neutralizes the stomach acid by calcifying it and turning it into flakes. Dude the author is an absolute FANTASTIC writer! This is so well written and he doesn't even consider himself a writer! He considers himself a graphic artist (which he is too). But his writing is just on a whole nother level! His creativity and imagination is just light-years ahead of what 99.9% of professional writers are doing. Heck Hollywood hasn't even put out one movie with an original idea in years much less a *good* original idea. I would really love for this guy to write a novel or to just expand on this world some more and publish it. I also think it's a really creative way to tell the story through Park brochures and signs and advertisements. This guy is clearly very creative, very intelligent, a lot of research went into this project and I just wish he would become an author. I bet he's full of other ideas that are just as creative and original as this idea is
