I have to admit, I feel like if you’ve seen one cave you’ve seen them all

A grotto with water reflecting stalactites and stalagmites

@Gargron yet they are all still awesome 🙂

@Gargron You're going into the same cave each time, aren't you?

jaymerryfield :mstdnca:

@Gargron Reading The Lord of the Rings as a kid prepared me for caves far more glorious than we typically see here on Earth.

@Gargron I tend to agree :-).

For a change, visit one of the caves that have a lot of ice in them.
Alternative: this cave in Germany looks totally different en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaros

@Gargron “Well, then why should we do anything more than once? Should I just smoke this one cigarette? Maybe we should only have sex once, if it's the same thing.”

“Should we just watch one sunset? Or live just one day? Because it's new every time. Each time is a different experience.”

@Gargron Reminds me of my dormitory back in university... but cleaner. 😄

@Gargron I guess that’s why Plato came up with projecting shadows onto all those boring cave walls.

Actually the perfect bottom line of the new Zelda.

@Gargron Is that The Grotte du Grand Roc? I'm sure I've been to that exact spot.

@Gargron I've seen a lot of cavernous caves, but nothing like this one. It's beautiful!

@Gargron on a recent cave visit to Carlsbad Caverns, we saw this NSFW stalagmite.

A cave stalagmite that resembles a human breast.

Until you've seen the full moon from inside the cave on my farm, then you've not seen them all, #JustSayin

Sorry that the picture quality is so low. It's from pre-digital days.

@Gargron You are in a maze if twisty little passages, all alike.

@Gargron
Some caves are "this is pretty & a fun adventure" while others are "it's nothing but mud & rocks, and is trying to kill me."

@Gargron But the monsters encountered within change by your level and region.

Krafty :arcolinux: :neovim:

@Gargron However, I haven't ever been in a cave with that much water in it so there is that

@Gargron all caves are basically just rock up, rock bottom, rock left, rock right

@Gargron very enclosed. Ermm, maybe if they federated they'd feel different.
I know, I know, really bad attempt at a joke.... 😞

@Gargron
Looks very different from any cave I've ever seen.

Adrienne LaCava

@Gargron Yeah but what about the glowing green pod? 😳😉

Sara Hjelm

@Gargron you must have missed the Dordogne ones …
