Does anyone else ever want to just jump into the ground and swim through it or is that just me?

The ER said I'll be 👌 in 6-8 weeks

Right? I want to dive into solid earth and have it envelop me like a liquid and be able to swim anywhere undetected :)

Maybe related but I’ve always had an affinity for underground spaces. Caves, tunnels, bunkers, basements, any of it. I just want to be there.

One day I will own my plot of land and then diggy diggy Hole.

I somehow find a way to turn any Minecraft world into an underground base lol.

Same. It's great when you can find a nice cliff face to dig into. And annoying when you go to dig some foundations and find a cave under you.

I'd be terrified of the ability turning off suddenly or just swimming into a sewer.

I occasionally dream I can jump super high, then fall slowly and even in those dreams I fear powerlines.

Born to be a mole, shackled by the human body 😔

I'm still stuck on the thought that swimming and flying are just ways to move through a fluid. Squids maybe fly, and birds swim.

The Broken Earth series has a race that moves through the earth in a similar manner.

Come for the fantasy fiction, stay for the emotional devastation of troubled parent-child relationships!

These are such good books. Some of my favorite.

Can't say that I've ever considered the thought until now

Take the tunnel pill. It's the year of the tunnel.

ok but to be real I always want to phase through objects violently.

There was a joke in a flash animation I watched back in the day which was like "rawr, I am Landshark! I swim through water as if it were land!"
