In 2023, the Burning Man Festival was hit by extreme flooding. Last year, dust storms hit. And this year a heavy sand storm completely destroyed the "festival" including, tragically, the Orgy Dome. And yet dumb shmoes will continue to pay thousands of dollars to go to a festival that Mother Nature obviously hates to the extent that She destroys it every year.
However, there is an incredible upside to Burning Man because it acts as a fantastic Man Filter. In this video someone points out that the week of Burning Man is also the one week of the year that women should get on the dating apps because the losers have been filtered out of the dating pool.
PING!
I get the joke, but bm simply cannot be large enough.
There are plenty of losers that have no interest in something like burning man.
When you say they pay thousands of dollars to get that you mean and travel fees or is there an entrance fee?
All of the above since the entrance ticket fees go up to $3000.
What do you get for the higher entrance fees and what’s the lowest entrance fee?
Just using a dating app says your should be eliminated from dating considerations.
Lowest entrance fee is $550 but for $3000 you can swallow a lot more sand from the dust storm.
Its really bad for women over 45 right now.
The number of available men is very small and those who are gun shy or have drug/alcohol problems.
$3000 to be in a dust storm? Sounds amazing!
I’ve seen “burners” out on the road going home from the festival. Everything in and on their vehicles, occupants included, is covered in a layer of light-colored dust. They probably have to do laundry for a week, have their car detailed, and pressure-wash their bikes.
