I went to burning man in 2010. And I didn’t see trash anywhere. And there’s only traffic on the first/last day. And it moves really quick for how many people it is. WAY faster than in a big city. There’s no waiting. It’s a steady stream in and out.
No idea if the crowd got annoying. I’ve heard a lot of the old burners say it’s not fun anymore.
Well it’s a new crowd, the old guys dont like that

I feel like time is flying because I swear I’m constantly hearing about burning man. I’m like wasn’t it last week three months ago?
What is “Wooks” and “Diplo”?
A wook is a sort of modern day hippie but with none of the politics and even more drug use that hop around music festivals usually seen wearing psychedelic clothing and dread locks as a white guy.
Diplo is a dj
The band wookie foot. They’re notorious for having the worst sort of obnoxious, dirtbag hippy fan base. Think unwashed, larcenous, and somehow still smug with the holier than thou attitude. Partying with them is like partying in vegas. One night is fun, anything past that is just a slow descent into hell.
Diplo is some douchbag dj. Think eurotrash party music.
Just checked diplo. Definitely heard his music in bars and cafes. It’s mainstream but I wouldn’t call it trashy.

Thank you. I couldn’t understand why they were hating on big Legos. But that’s Duplo.
Wookies
I wish I could have gone to Burning Man before it was completely cooked.
Not sure what I would bring to the table. Maybe just a trunk load of charcoal and cook for three days straight.
All I brought was a Carton of smokes and a bottle of rum. It was 2010, I had an amazing time.
Idk it’s probably still a real good time man
You could bring some artificial turf, a picket fence, some pink flamingos, go with the normcore 50s look like that guy did a few years back.
So Hal goes to burning man.
‘Orgy Dome’…
shutters
Really a misnomer. My husband and I fucked there. It was actually kind of empty, and no other people were involved.
Funny story, they did NOT have an actual dome that year, but our camp next door did.
Several couples were found fucking on our couch cause they thought it was the orgy dome.
Fun times.
Interesting story actually. I was always curious about the artistic aspect of BM, but that’s where myself and my friend groups always drawn the line (we dress up for Ren fairs).
No offense, I believe in freedom of expression, but 8 of the 11 people I’ve ever known who frequently attended Burning Man were unconditionally HR nightmares. By that I mean there’s a very distinct personality type that seems drawn to that event and they can’t take a hint to just stfu and not talk about it at work when people are obviously disturbed by their comments.
I also know those kinds of people, and they are annoying. But I want to say, over 70k people go to Burning Man every year, so judging them by 11 people you know is not really fair.
I’d say the majority are extremely nice and kind people who are into art, creative self-expression, and environmental sustainability. Then you have some tech bros and rich people who fly in on private planes, clearly not in the spirit of the event. And there are some kids who just want to do drugs and dance (more power to them, but they can be annoying if you are not into their scene).
You rarely hear from the good people because they tend to not walk around showing off that they went to Burning Man. You’d never know my husband went 3 times unless you have a deep conversation with him or it just happens to come up.
But some people will go once and then form their entire personality around it. This is not a reason to dislike the event itself. Like I said, the general population and atmosphere are awesome.
Oh I absolutely believe you. 70k is a lot of people that must draw in other personalities for sure. Same holds true for rennies tbh and we get some of the same types at times. It’s just that between the disturbed swingers, the scary conspiracy theorists and the weird middle aged loners that account for the 8 of 11 we know who went, it doesn’t sound like something we would risk doing lol.
Perhaps you meant ‘shudders’?
No, they just closed their windows.
RIP

Can we stop posting serious political memes in the shitpost sub?
making fun of Burning Man is serious politics?.. friend… I think you’re lost, or need help, or drugs… just, go find some chill.
Please guide, how to find drugs
So you go out into the desert with a bunch of strangers and they make this really tall dude out of like hay or something.
They’ve usually got a bunch of drugs there
As someone who doesn’t really know much about burning man, this post seems like 95% “hahah we live in a system that provides terrible living conditions no matter what.” And like 5% “at least we have burning man” lol haha
I mean, it seems like you’re reading a lot of shit into the meme, that maybe you need to just come to terms with the fact that yes, our living conditions are way worse than they should be at our current level of development and technology, due to the system we live in. Or, you know, just stick your head deeper in the sand and ignore reality until your subconscious causes you to have random outbursts on a shit post.

Then, this meme isn’t for you, is it?.. Go find the chill.
After some time I realize that, due to a lack of coffee, all of the things in the bottom image are directly associated with the burning man festival. I had totally misunderstood the meme initially. I have also removed the stick from my ass, and must say….this is quite a shitpost.
This…. Is serious?
