POV you are walking down the street when you clip through the sidewalk and find yourself in the Backrooms.
When you could afford to go on a fucking vacation
You guys could afford to go on vacation?
Back then, you had enough pocket money for a plane ticket and a hotel room. Good times.
Damn I wish I had money.
The ac was always ice cold in those halls. I miss it but I wont do hotel pools anymore.
Thank you for actual POV
I can smell this area
And you need to pee real bad right?
No… I was just in the pool…
Bold of you to assume we had hotel money when I was 12
Thank you for making this comment. I was feeling a little twinge of loss at this apparently relatable moment that we never had.
Yeah this ain’t relatable at all. The only time ever spent a night in a hotel with a family member was when my dad chaperoned a school trip.
POV: your family is rich enough for hotels and you’re 12
Liminal space vibes.
Too decorated and friendly for that.
You call this decorated?? That picture is like an alien’s interpretation of earth art with the LoD turned to minimum
I’ve been too poor to relate to that.
Yeah lol never lived in a house big enough to have a hallway, let alone across multiple floors.
Never stayed in a hotel?
As a kid. Me either… I think the first time I stayed on a hotel was my 20s
It’s okay, tbh I don’t think you’re missing out. My experience is that they’re usually badly maintained if they’re maintained at all (last time I looked at a hotel pool it was green and growing algae). The “swimmable” hotel pools are only found at really, really nice hotels.
Why do they even bother installing pools in hotels if they’re not going to maintain them? What a waste of space.
Well, I’ve been missing out on the whole travelling thing.
Same here

POV: You’re 12 years old and your family is sleeping on the grass outside, because it’s just too hot inside.
Not trying to one-up, just having a bit of fun

Ah, a lesser known Pink Floyd song.
You mean this gives off a pink floyd vibe right?
This isn’t a reference to a really existing obscure song?
I am scared i have now lost my opportunity to shine with my obsession of obscure Pink Floyd tracks by not knowing what song you refer too.
Yep, some of their songs are quite narrative, often talk about their experience, and maybe Pink Floyd just lives rent free in some part of my head so I just randomly associated it.
I can absolutely hear the bottom text as if it was a lyric from wish you were here.
Got any rare favorites?
I find myself quite drawn to the alternate tracks from around the time of ummagama these days. Some versions of the narrow way part III being a particular favorite.
There is also a live album post dark side where they play songs that appear to be proto-animals but have the music of wish you were here.
A great addition to any collection i dont think its on Spotify.
If it is an actual reference it is either incredibly obscure or I have missed something and would like to know what it references.
Either way I know what to listen to the next couple of days.
Seems like Kane Pixels got some childhood trauma to cope with, must be why he did the backrooms videos.
In my experience 12 year olds are pretty impervious to temperature fluctuations. Little bastards dive into freezing water like it’s nothing and run around in the scorching sun, not even noticing that they sweat through all their clothes.
When my toddler was much younger, they would take a bath in warm water, then get out in my well air conditioned house, shivering violently and happily declining any attempt to warm them up. We would always end up warming them up in the end, of course.
Nowadays they’re a bit older and will seek out the biggest pile of blankets they can find at any opportunity.
Tell that to the 12 year old gymnastics competitors I ran into once outside a venue when it was 40 degrees out. They have a very low body fat percentage.
That’s a sport that should probably die off, at least in anything like its current form, along with American Football.
Why, due to saftey concerns?
Broadly, yes. They’re 12 year olds being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches. The Olympic committee was right to raise the minimum competition age over the last few decades, but this shit still happens.
being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches
That’s true of any sport? I agree that sports should be more fun and less competitive, at least for children, but why single out gymnastics? At least there’s no contact like in wrestling or even football.
And it didn’t matter because you didn’t have the key card anyway.
If you knock on the right door, your family lets you in.
Don’t knock on the wrong door.
