My favorite mining story is of the man who was hit on the head and went blind. Since this was back in the day when miners worked without lights, he simply went on working in the mine. One day while at work, his eyesight began to return. "I can see!" he shouted excitedly. "Calm down," a fellow miner said. "You must be losing your reason. Even if you could see, how would you know it? It's completely dark down here." "That's just it - I can see darkness!" An injury to the visual cortex is a terrifying thing to contemplate.
I think I sorta get it. I heard a blind guy once say that he doesn't even see darkness like what you would see when you close your eyes. The best way he could describe it is as what you see out of your elbow, you just can't. So yeah it would be easy to figure out if you're able to see again, even in complete darkness
you can feel your eyes adjust to darkness, so there *is* a difference between knowing it's dark vs your vision going, makes sense. I have MS, I get optic neuritis as a side effect and that feels distinct enough from my vision adjusting to darkness. Can't explain it well, but you can definitely tell the difference.
While not trying to take away from it, the SCP crew is the same as the Infographics Show Crew, and they work using predefined animation templates, which makes a lot of the work much, much easier.
It is buried but mining operations uncovered it. With signs the entities are stating they intended to get to the surface plus stating the meek won't make it. Sounds like a hostile force is stuck down there which the unexplained earth quakes could be attempts to get out.
17:01 I remember when my family lost our house to a fire in April 2016. A bad radiator caused a fire in the living room and burned out the wall. It wasn’t just the smoke damage, ash, and soot that scared me. It was what it left. I went in to try and salvage what family heirlooms we could and decided to investigate the small bathroom of the cabin. It was dark. Even in the bright afternoon it was like the abyss itself had swallowed up that place. The smoke and soot covered every inch. It made you feel like you were being watched by something on the other side. Something that wasn’t satisfied with taking my cats. I quickly left that room and only went back in when my dad and I stripped the entire cabin down to rebuild it.
i grew up in southern wv. in the town of beckley [city now] there is an old coal mine exhibit. we took it once and they turned off the lights when we were inside. you have never experienced dark like that unless you're a miner, caver, or deep sea explorer
I just wanna put out there the level of gratitude I have for these stories, even the 05 council to individual MTFs thank you explained for the content you all produce!
I love how the intro of this video was an excuse to talk about a small portion of the history of worker's rights in this country. Rights the miners and other professionals literally died fighting to get. Beautiful execution here! We should move forward, not continue sliding backwards... :/
I really like the CARTOON STYLE of story telling, where they make it cute and a little funny and explain things with funny pictures that are obviously ARTISTIC LICENSE since its not literally how people behave. I wish videos teaching people about history and sociology used this style of story telling because it much more drills into the brain what happened than most other forms of teaching. "Cute, slightly funny CARTOONS of this style is the best teaching tool."
I appreciate how they took 3 minutes of their video to explain the dangers of mining. I know that we were taught some of this in school but they made it so much more interesting with the visuals.
We need to respect that the explanations for non scp things at the beginning of these videos feel like there a billion years long but their actually like only 3 to 4 minutes long.
My granddad was a mining engineer in Pakistan and once a group of thieves surrounded his mine and demanded the be given the keys and be let in and my granddad was stuck for three days until the police came.
Yeah the early industrial revolution was really cruel to workers. Because of monopolies on important goods practically being a new concept they could make any choices they wanted until the government finally caught up with labor laws and minimum wage. It wasn’t just mines, with the factories being more famous with their longer hours in a moderately easier but still backbreaking work that if you lose focus for more than a moment you’ll get crushed in a machine and die. Worse still the Pinkerton detective agency (at the time the biggest private law enforcement organization in the world) had essentially turned its watchful eye from criminals to unions and worked to crush any strikes that might shake the norm. It was a time period that had the nation’s wealth consolidated in the very few, more than ever before and perhaps more than ever sense.
Yeah and only reason the government gave a shit is because of unions fighting for the rights of workers. Let’s not pretend the government and business owners bestowed rights to workers out of the “goodness” of their hearts. It took blood, sweat and tears to fight and get what was owed to the hard workers of the early 20th century. Not that you were saying that but people seem to think unions had nothing to do with it.
@@TheSurrealist. Yeah I initially thought you might have misunderstood what I said but even without that last part I would have been fairly certain you were “just” building on what I said. So thank you for your help with giving more information to everyone reading, and that’s including me. 😊 Would you say it’s accurate that I was talking about the opposition and you were talking about the fight itself? Just me being curious.
A drink for all the miners acquiring the materials we require to construct the items need: lithium, coal, oil, copper, silver, gold, etc. Regardless if you prefer 100% renewable energy you still need miners.
not in America it's a dead field most have been shut down due to lawsuits they were just talking about here not globally However blue collar men deserve way more respect they keep the world running.
@@luisemoralesfalcon4716 true but blame greed those people were expected to work 16 hours a day 6 days a week with no benefits and terrible pay. Also alot of people developed cancer from working in coal mines.
When it comes to efficiency, this channel is god tier. Pumping out videos on the daily, and it just keeps going. Day 307 of asking the O5 Council to use SCP-1968 to create a universe in which 682 doesn't exist.
Now that's a good SCP, it would be mesmerizing if Evan Royalty did a mini movie off this one. I wish they would've had the ability to make that last one that didn't get enough backing. ETA: of course YOUR video is amazing. I wouldn't have been into it if it wasn't well done ❤️❤️
I'm confused...so.... Did something make the mine do all that stuff? Where did the fire people come from? 10,000 years? Like that's how long they were trapped in the time dilation? I may be having a slow moment but I don't understand this SCP at all. 😅
it was actually poorly explained, my guess is either a portal to hell and some damned souls escape ever so often OR because of the time dilation they've been down there for 10,000 years...which makes no sense because they'd die eventually 🤷🏾♂
Oh there's so much philosophical things I could say about this. And so much speculation too! I LOVE it! An easily contained SCP that only offers mystery that forces us to gain insight about ourselves and the world around us with endless possibilities for what may come of it. No guarantee of danger, or complete safety. Only study. And a hole to throw shit down, hooray! That's the best part.
My ancestors were all Miners and yeah their company headquarters ACTUALLY WAS in Louisville! I forgot the company name but they mined mostly for coal but sense they started work around 9 to their mid-40’s if they moved in recently, they usually died of Black Lung. BTW it is Lew-eh-vull we kinda run the word together so it sounds more like Lew-vull Look up “The Fires down under” it is the reason we have firefighters with sand bags and water under the mountains when a miner decides to be a dumbass and smoke down there.
This is infact the first scp I ever saw as it started as a unique creepy pasta to me also known as the devils tunnel lol t causes madness overtime or mental degradation from unknown causes.
Okay I need you guys to start a "history of the world - animated" channel or something similar. That intro to this SCP was something I didn't know I needed.
Oh yeah, absolutely. But the fact that it's a... I don't know what the technical/legal term is, but since it's open to everyone and not directly owned by anyone it makes it really difficult to adapt. Because, well, they can't really make merchandise with it. At least, not in the sense most shows aim towards. Plus the fact that there is no true canon in the universe, makes it hard to please everyone. But, if I make a suggestion, if you want a game inspired by SCP, look into "Control" It's a good game heavily inspired by the SCP mythos, but with its own history and everything. But yeah... a live action series would be awesome though.
You know what I want to know is exactly when it's 10,000 years because depending on when the mineshaft was built or discovered really determines how many years are left
Yall are literally awesome. Keep up the good work. Please. I can imagine its a lot of hard work that we don’t know the half of but I appreciate the content every time. MORE PLAGUE DOCTOR PLEASE. He is the dude. 😂
Anyone else notice video quality went down like crazy? My guy really reiterates same thing like 10x “miners were under paid, miners worked in harsh conditions and were often paid half, miners then got paid half for double the work today, where they would get paid 2x more”
This Scp is some kind of space time continuum effect well there is an anomaly contains time space effect like bending reality of course like Scp 3812 , Scp 239 and Scp 343
This story left more questions than answers. I did not fully understand things, like how that anomolous mine was created, how "imposter" agents ended up down there, How someone could be stuck down there for 1000 years and still be alive? Was it a ghost? And if the company that bought the mine was also anomalous was it a company similar to Marshall Carter and Dark?
I think you may have made a minor mistake, the mtf agent was the one who was surprised when the doctor told them they spent 19 minutes in the mine in topside time
- right, I can't believe that kind of thing was tolerated. How parents didn't mob up and execute mining company employees when they saw their broken children baffles me.
I love how this video was basically commentary on workers rights and the history of worker exploitation. As long as we have capitalism we will have worker exploitation. We have the modern work week and labour laws because of unions. Now republicans want 14 year olds to work. Essentially rolling back child labor laws. They harken back to the days when children had to work and weren’t allowed to have a proper childhood. Sad that they look to the past when the future is what we need. Yeah, the past was soooo great right? Lol nah bruh.
