can someone please tell me what the fuck I just saw
this guy is just keeping a shit ton of eels in a storm drain? There’s a water filtration system down there? the water is clear?? there’s crawfish?? they possibly ate the other crawfish??? there’s an aquarium above the pool???? he’s just tossing animals in there to be eaten maybe???
what kind of pit is this? what happens when it rains, do the eels get washed away? what’s with the aquarium?? Is this like a well on his property or city infrastructure???
context
source is i follow this guy on tiktok
the eel pit is a rain reservoir under his house, yes its his, yes hes allowed to do this
hes set up a filtration system so that all water going in is safe for the fishies and its an reservoir so theyre not getting wooshed away anywhere
its come pretty far along now, and theyre all doing well
the pit also has a few catfish now, and a couple crayfish
everything in the pit is named
the eels are mostly named eel puns and he can in fact tell them apart
one of the eels is named crunchwrap supreme and that one seems to be his favourite, as it he can hand feed it and its friendly with him
as for Why he made this into an eel pit the answer is basically he works at a fish husbandry store and he always wanted a bunch of eels

I think you all need to understand that if I was on a date and the person across the table from you started telling me about their eel pit all I would be able to think about was making out with that person and their Galaxy brain for the rest of the evening.
grounding techniques, ok 5 things i can see. ugly man. shitty palm tree. clear evidence of air pollution. conservative bumper stickers. roadkill. why do i feel worse
I used to do the 5 things you see, 4 things you hear etc with my daughter when she was spiralling, but it had a low success rate. Just didn’t engage her brain, was too easy to just list shit things that made her feel shit.
I had to get creative.
Now we do shit like:
5 things you can see that you could easily steal without being noticed
4 things you think might be sticky if you licked them
3 things that you could fit in your mouth at once
2 inanimate objects that in another dimension, might fall in love
1 thing you can see that isn’t made of cheese, but would be better if was
Obviously not those ones every time, I gotta keep mixing things up, else she doesn’t have to really focus. Your mileage may vary, but it mostly works for us.
some things in life are just difficult and unfair and impossible and heartbreaking. we may never get over some things. we may never forgive some people. we may never find closure in some situations. and that’s okay. we will keep living despite all these things.
had an edible and am now explaining goncharov to the party guests
they’ve invented a minor character named ernesto who’s only role is to follow goncharov around and say “nice one boss!” whenever he does anything. im so proud of them
“art is a luxury” is such a disgustingly capitalist concept. the need to make and engage with art, to have beauty and creation, is absolutely fundamental to humans. art should be a human right.
quick somebody add the bread and puppet cheap art manifesto
