Even so, you’d think a basic understanding of how jizz works would lead one to that conclusion. It almost didn’t even require being explicitly stated, let alone questioned for clarification. But we are here to educate.
It's a single elevator, optimized to stack as many people in as possible. it takes a while to go up/down so this saves time and resourcesz at the cost of comfort obv.
That's the sketchy-sardine press-o'-death that you ride into a similarly sized maze of dark tunnels in the ground where you get to gamble everyday for cancer. Just close your eyes, pretend it's okay, and take a deep breath and you just might win!
You can try to remake the experience by pushing yourself as far under your house or the nearest building as you can (just keep going!), but it won't be as fun or authentic because it's much safer and the air will be fresher :(
Here's a sample of an interview he weaves into his songs:
Well at that time we were working 10 hours a day, and we were getting 6 and a fraction cents an hour. Well, we breaker boys, we'd have our feet in the chute. And we'd be picking the slate out, when the breaker boss would sneak up behind us, and if he'd see a piece of slate coming through, he'd pick up the scrape and he'd hit you in the back with it, and he'd hit you hard! And then he'd say "Pick that slate out!". Well they used to abuse us, actually
A breaker boy is literally a boy who sits in the mill, sorting ore, pulling out waste rock.
Remember, capitalists did this to us before, and they would do it to us again if they thought for an instant they could get away with it
Don't believe me? Look at the use of international Temp workers in agriculture, mining, meat packing, or oil and gas
Well, I believe you. It's not the matter. It's that, to me, the subject matter, especially in that form, doesn't work as a black metal song. As far as I'm concerned, you might as well scream how delicious the burger you ate today, on a background of distorted tremolo picking, dissonant melodies, and blast beats.
During WWII, 11% of the draftees in Great Britain were sent down into the coal mines instead of getting to go off and shoot Nazis. As if this weren't bad enough by itself, the veteran miners resented these draftee miners and would often haze them with hilarious practical jokes like letting the elevator cages free-fall on their way down.

Look at all that yearning for the mines!

That coal dust is only stuck to them because of all the ejaculate.

They are saying coal dust sticks to jizz.

Some people have never jizzed in a coal mine and it shows

It’s just something that happens when a man sees big natural veins of coal laid bare

Perhaps, but does jizz stick to children? I think that might be the confusion.

I don't think we need to test that specifically, but hey, you sound like you're destined for a cabinet position one day, so what do I know.

On the way back up they had to share that space with sixteen tons of number nine coal

What are these tight spaces? Elevators?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 42 pts · 165d
I think it's technically just one elevator. The people are just stacked up as tightly as possible
4am@lemmy.zip · 32 pts · 165d
Yup. With uncomfortable conditions, minimal safety equipment, and difficult to escape from

Panopticon's 'Kentucky' album has some great snippets about coal mining. Apart from being a great atmospheric metal album it's educational.
A lot of the labour rights we have today we're won by miners, but the industry has gone more conservative

I'm a fan of black metal and a leftist, but I have a hard time feeling inspired by black metal about labor struggles.

Most work accidents nowadays are one or two folks injured or killed. Previously it could be entire buildings'-worth of injuries in single incidents.
