When I was a kid, my siblings and I used to get into grain bins and go “swimming” in the grain.
Our parents warned us not to, but we thought it was more of a “It’s impolite” type warning vs. “YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THIS YOU COULD DIE HORRIBLY AND NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU!” so we ignored them.
I still get chills thinking about it.
Just imagine how close people were to never having to hear my Star Wars takes
Wow, and I thought it was bad that I rode in the back of pickup trucks when there wasn’t enough seating in the front as a kid. 😬
Yes. When Demeter is hungry for human sacrifice, someone is always swimming in the grain.
In modern days, She has the option to detonate a flour silo and snack on the nearby workhands.
ETA From Wikipedia:
At some grain-handling facilities, employees “walk down the grain” on top of it to expedite the flow of grain from the top when it is being allowed to flow out the bottom.
That is totally a sacrifice lottery.
Grain scares me. Especially silos. It’s like quicksand, and you can’t escape if it’s moving.
Don’t forget the dust, I cleaned a near empty silo, and had a lung infection for about 2 months.
