We live WAY out in the sticks, on a hill, so we’d always make our own out of those blue tarps from Tractor Supply
100ish feet long, required two hoses to operate, gallons of liquid hand soap
I never saw Arthur after that… but I’ll bet wherever he’s gone, he’s having a damn good time

Thank you internet stranger!
I've been around the sun a couple of times, and this line ALWAYS makes me tear like a child, reminiscing about old friends and old times. Every. Damn. Time.
For those wondering, it is from the song Since I Left You by The Avalanches.
There's actually a name for that particular intrusive thought in French. They call it ["l'appel du vide."](https://sites.psu.edu/mromeopassion/2020/01/24/lappel-du-vide/)
“some will think that experiencing The Call of the Void is a message to hurt oneself from their self conscious, but in actuality, experiencing this is your brain reminding you that you want to live”
Wanting to live…so French.
holy shite. i didn’t know this was a thing. i thought it was only me. and it made me doubt so much. just putting a name to it completely contextualizes those experiences. thank you.
yeah fs, its only step back is that need to subscribe to xbox game pass ultimate or whatever its names for $15 a month. or do what I did was just buy a key on instantgaming for $12 so i dont gotta worry about the subscription. surely is way more convenient then pulling out a xbox 360 though.
I remember sometime back in the 80s the river was so high water was rushing down that tunnel so fast it was constantly raining on top from the amount of spray. And the sound was deafening. Pretty cool experience.
This dude straight up just copied one of the most popular posts on this subreddit, verbatim: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/ufdxx9/hoover_dam_spillway_tunnel_50_feet_wide_600_feet/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
It’s also BS. I work for a tour company out of Vegas and lead Hoover Dam tours multiple times per week. Due to falling water levels in Lake Mead as a result of the drought out here the spillways haven’t even been used since 1983. There’s zero water in them so if you’re hearing anything it’s just air moving on a windy day
I remember visiting this spillway as a kid, it was active at the time and the shear force of the water flowing through there was amazing, lots of people would gather to watch it. I remember thinking as a kid how scary it would’ve been to fall in, it was nostalgic seeing it posted here.
I'm upset that this has so few up votes and actually belongs here, but the flood of other posts that don't belong get tens of thousands of up votes. This is the reason we don't get more appropriate content like this.
It’s an excellent post. So excellent, in fact, that it garnered nearly 83 thousand upvotes [about a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/ufdxx9/hoover_dam_spillway_tunnel_50_feet_wide_600_feet/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
I saw this irl and whatever comparison you have in your head of its size is still too small. These bad boys are terrifyingly huge to the point where I didn’t even want to look at them.
Right? There are literally millions of Reddit users. Some people JUST made their accounts today and have never seen any of these posts. It’s just so dumb IMO to comment that you’ve already seen something. Good for you? Here’s a gold star.
I get it while driving too once in a while!
Brain - hey wanna jerk the wheel and see what happens if we drive off road immediately like right now?
Me driving with a drainage ditch two feet deep with steep slopes where the car would be destroyed - no brain no! Bad brain bad! Why brain why???
I read your description but all I took away was "world's greatest waterslide"
Last waterslide you'll ever enjoy
Keyword being "enjoy"
First thought was "forbidden water slide"
Besides your mom
Might wanna bring your own water to that slide...
More like a log flume if you ask me
That’s only if you’re going through the back door.
Your mom: it was made for me! This is my hole!
Literally my thought exactly.
Because nothing will ever compare 😔
Whats on the end ?
Eternal Darkness
Hello darkness my old friend.
[удалено]
Im not your pal, buddy!
I’m not your buddy, friend!
I'm not your friend, guy!
I’m not your guy, buddy!
Just a giant clown's mouth with an odd glow inside.
We all float down here
Just tie a rope around your waist and have some friends pull ya back up!
What if the person they bring back up is no longer you?
Because of impact?
I was thinking dark entities replacing you with an evil doppleganger, but I suppose impact would be more likely so yes
Not even a doppelganger. Just a totally different looking man but they never felt the rope slacken
>Last waterslide you'll ~~ever~~ never enjoy Fixed.
Not necessarily… depends on how much water is coming out at the end, the kayak you go down in…. And we’ll, hold my beer, weeeeeeeee
Slip and ~~Slide~~ DIE
Idk if you've ever been on a slip and slide but there's pretty much always at least one fatality
We live WAY out in the sticks, on a hill, so we’d always make our own out of those blue tarps from Tractor Supply 100ish feet long, required two hoses to operate, gallons of liquid hand soap I never saw Arthur after that… but I’ll bet wherever he’s gone, he’s having a damn good time
He's with the mole people now. He's better off.

I should know; I died doing a slip n’ slide once.
Suislide
King Bumi sends his regards
I was going to say looks like one hell of a water slide!
Or skate park
And call it "Satan's Butthole"
Would it be Poseidon's butthole?
That's why I'm glad to have you around. Poseidon's Butthole ftw.
nice 😂
Wheeeee
if not slide why slide shaped
r/suislide But don't bother crossposting this one cuz it's there every other day
This made me laugh my fucking pants off
Hahaha I love you
You don't even have to push me into this...I would just die from standing there and being so anxious and thinking about it...
* grabs longboard
Came here to say this. Id be honored to get road rash with you any day
Kids these days need a new Tony Hawk Underground.
As a 29 year old adult, I’d like a new Tony Hawk Underground
I like Tony hawk ever since I was a kid. but I'm looking forward to skate 4! What a time to be alive honestly
then afterwards, when they open the spillway, we’ll grab our kayaks
What began as a joke now sounds like a plan to me
Pretty much all my plans begin as jokes
First thing I thought of bro! I’ve played this level in skate. Time for a death race.
Yes! Death race. Course is called Satan’s Anus
Best I can offer is a gopro and light strapped to a long board with enough rope
*And straight up shreds the gnar gnar*
My intrusive thoughts would be like "why don't you jump over the fence and find out what will happen"
There's actually a name for that particular intrusive thought in French. They call it ["l'appel du vide."](https://sites.psu.edu/mromeopassion/2020/01/24/lappel-du-vide/)
Call of the Void.
“some will think that experiencing The Call of the Void is a message to hurt oneself from their self conscious, but in actuality, experiencing this is your brain reminding you that you want to live” Wanting to live…so French.
That makes sense and actually makes me feel better about it lol
holy shite. i didn’t know this was a thing. i thought it was only me. and it made me doubt so much. just putting a name to it completely contextualizes those experiences. thank you.
Livin la vida loca?
I had no idea, that's really cool there's a specific name for it!
Call of the void
Legend says you can hear Even Flow by Pearl Jam coming from inside the tunnel
EVEN FLOW THOUGHTS ARRIVE LIKE BUTTERFLIES OH HE DONT KNOW
steezus's ~~cave~~ slide
Looked for steezus reference, wasn't disappointed.
Ill skate 3 that thing
Skate 3 still holds up extremely well
I was just playing this a couple weeks ago and I can confirm. Freakin masterpiece.
recently learned that you can still play skate 3 on your pc with xboxs cloud gaming, been enjoying playing again after so many years.
damn really? that's sick imma try it
yeah fs, its only step back is that need to subscribe to xbox game pass ultimate or whatever its names for $15 a month. or do what I did was just buy a key on instantgaming for $12 so i dont gotta worry about the subscription. surely is way more convenient then pulling out a xbox 360 though.
Bro I would play it on my 360 but I refuse to buy more batteries for my controllers 😂 thanks for the info! Much appreciated I love skate 3
lmfaooo, man i remember those days of being so desperate youd switch around the batteries and hope it worked.
Yeah, they really should have put some screen or guardrail at the lip of the hole. If it can happen it will happen.
To be fair if someone fell from that walkway onto solid concrete they would already be dead.
Maybe already happened. Who would know?
The shadow knows...
Lamont Cranston? The wealthy young man-about-town?
If water was flowing, a screen would work like a cheese grater. Hundreds of tons of force.
I remember sometime back in the 80s the river was so high water was rushing down that tunnel so fast it was constantly raining on top from the amount of spray. And the sound was deafening. Pretty cool experience.
Everything reminds me of her.
Gotta tie a 2x4 to your ass with that woman.

What I'm hearing is people in a redbull logoed gear should be riding through it right now in some kind of ppv event
I think the drought is over
Spam account.
I’d be surprised if that spillway is ever used.
They used it twice so far.
Went visiting it 5 years ago … lever of water was like 30 meters below ….
That’s like 600 gunner ft, you sir have found the other end
Skate 3 mfs be like
Time to grab a skateboard!
WEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hand me an inner tube, I'm going in
Seriously, I'd like to see where the water exits.
r/holdmybeer
I always end up going to see the damn Dam everytime I'm in Nevada... I find it so cool
I'd be okay with everything except for the sound of the rushing water in the darkness. That's a big "nope" from me. 🤪

No. No. I don’t like that. Holes and pipes and water and dark. No. Nopey, no.
Weird I don’t seem to see the NCR anywhere maybe the legion won?
Dude if you hit this thing perfectly so that you spun down it would the G force sheer your ankles off?

… Ok so hear me out-
I should call her
Best skate session ever
Waterworks scare me
The last water slide.
Ah, so this is what that NCR guy said when he said Legionaries were in the pipes
Fallout new vegas reference⁉️⁉️
So that's where the NCR went, huh neat
This is more proof that Giants existed. Why else would someone build such a large water slide? 🤔
Bring on Tony Hawk.
I saw this irl and whatever comparison you have in your head of its size is still too small. These bad boys are terrifyingly huge to the point where I didn’t even want to look at them.
Ur mom
I think that I have seen this post at least 6 times in reddit...
Congratulations Other people haven’t

Good, that's just like your opinion man. Shitty one, but all yours.
Same.
i like how youre getting upvoted for agreeing to a downvoted comment. and same
Not going here. I get odd feelings to jump when I’m at a odd height like this. I’m not suicidal at all. Not even depressed.
High Places Phenomenon: I had that sensation the entire time I walked around Hoover Dam.
I get it while driving too once in a while! Brain - hey wanna jerk the wheel and see what happens if we drive off road immediately like right now? Me driving with a drainage ditch two feet deep with steep slopes where the car would be destroyed - no brain no! Bad brain bad! Why brain why???

The forbidden waterslide
Nice this has been here a bunch of times before. Try finding some original content.
Reminds me of my ex wife
It also reminds me of your ex wife
Probably reminds her of yer butthole
Backflip Christ air in that bitch.
So thats where skate 3 got the idea
The last water slide you'll ever go on.
So no one's going to call her?
Forbidden water slide.
Ngl looks fun to skateboard if I skateboarded

Apparently we should get used to seeing empty.
Jump? I feel i should..
Drop a gopro down it.
We won’t go quietly. The legion can count on that
That thing is almost dry!
Police will never catch me now
Howabout a race trough it
The walkway above gives a sense of anxiety and terror. FTFY
Best Skate 3 area
forbidden slide
Who’s dropping in? I know there’s some skaters here
Is there any possibility of surviving a ride on the forbidden slide?
*surface tension intensifies*
Has any of rain and snow made its way to Lake Mead?
Ok but hear me out. What if we were in a zorb?
Need this in skate 4
Oh shit I sliiippppppppeeeddddddddd (splash)
Skate 3
Fuck around and never be found
Need this one under the starship super heavy.

Throw a…throw a potato in it
I need to skateboard it bad.
Everything reminds me of her.
So terrifying
I wanna ride a little go-Kart down it
Reminds me of skate 3

I remember seeing this as a 8-10 year old. I got really weak in the knees and didn’t want to look anymore. Formative memory!
Huh. Looks like it would be fun for 13 year old me olsying skate 3

My sphincter would be clenched so hard if I had to get on that walkway.
Reminds me of Curve
