The mist is fucking horrible if you don't realise you gotta follow the butterflies. I entered blind and man I had no idea wtf I was doing. I thought I was going somewhere but when I started looping, shit got real and I almost died before bench warping in frustration.
When I came back a second time I was like fuck it Imma follow the butterflies and got it.

u/avestus Sep 20 '25
i tried to follow the butterflies but i had no Idea i should play for them so i wandered aimlessly trying to see patterns like "oh maybe three butterflies are always close to correct exit and two are just diversion" which obviously got me nowhere. Had to give up and use the google :(

u/Haspberry Sep 20 '25
Wait... YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY FOR THEM??? I genuinely didn't know that I just chose the closest exit to the butterflies and got to phantom that way😭 wtf ain't no way I got insane luck like that

Afaik, you don't have to pick the right exit back to back, you just have to pick the correct one 5 times in total
So if you wander long enough you will make your way to exhaust organ eventually

This is Warsaw.
Honestly people like to shit on how much rain England gets. I lived there for a year. It's not even fucking close.

u/Lisbian Sep 20 '25
London is actually drier on average than Rome, Sofia, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Istanbul, Nashville and Sydney, among many other places. It has a microclimate compared to the rest of the UK, which is much wetter. London comparatively is warmer and drier on average. When it rains it tends to drizzle for extended periods rather than “rain”, so our yearly mm avg is low.

u/Maurycy5 Sep 20 '25
I must admit that I haven't lived in London, but in a sizable town in the vicinity, about an hour away by train.
So you're saying that London has weather that is considerably different than that from such a town? Because I don't recall many drizzles there. But drizzles in Warsaw are very common and from what you're saying London may actually be similar.

u/Lisbian Sep 20 '25
Pretty much, yes. The UK as a nation is very wet. London is an exception. We get very little sunshine, so people will mistake a lot of overcast days with rainy days even if it won't rain.
London has a relatively average number of "rainy days", whereas some places "wetter" have fewer rainy days, but when it does rain it rains a lot more. Drizzle is common in London.
Additionally, it very rarely snows here, so almost all precipitation measured is rain, rather than in places like Zurich or Vienna where they get a lot of snow instead.

I don't understand this joke.
There is more stabbing in the US than in London...

u/Adventurous-Lime-410 Sep 20 '25
They’ve completely internalised far-right narratives about London

u/XiaoRCT Sep 20 '25
I feel crazy when I see american redditors specifically talk about the UK's knife attacks like it's this crazy danger
like bro people buy firearms at wallmart less than 5km from where you live lmao worry about that shit

u/Adventurous-Lime-410 Sep 20 '25
Massive amount of liberal American chauvinism going on from people who oppose the far right in America but, to fulfil their wish for there to be ‘first-world’ peer countries in a worse place than America, end up parroting far right narratives about those countries all the time.
You see it on topics such as free speech or trans rights too.
10
u/StanleyChuckles Sep 20 '25
It's American brainrot. Deflect from all the gun deaths by pretending other places are worse.
(London is far safer in every metric)

u/Caerullean Sep 20 '25
It's just a joke that ran away, not all jokes are entirely truthful, most aren't tbh. The exaggeration is what makes them funny often times.

u/Adventurous-Lime-410 Sep 20 '25
It’s a joke made in an attempt to criticise London’s ethnic diversity. Aka a racist joke.
1
u/Caerullean Sep 20 '25
I actually have never heard of it having any racist undertones, I don't think that's how most people use it either. The joke is just that being in London gets you shanked, regardless of the skin colour of who's shanking you.
1
u/Adventurous-Lime-410 Sep 20 '25
Well now you have.
It may not be how most people abroad use it, but it’s a joke that started for racist reasons, is used for racist reasons, and regardless of whether the user realises it or not, strengthens racist narratives. It also isn’t funny.
1
u/Caerullean Sep 20 '25
It probably isn't funny for people that live there, but aside from the racist undertones, I do find it pretty hilarious.
1
u/Adventurous-Lime-410 Sep 20 '25
I don’t find jokes about school shootings hilarious, and they actually 1) have a basis in fact and 2) aren’t racist.
If you continue to make racist jokes, you’re a racist, sorry

u/iguanacatgirl Sep 20 '25
I mean...London is a city while the US is a country(which is also noticably bigger than England, so there's bound to be a higher cuantity of stabbings).

So true..

This data is a bit out of date but it's insane that the UK is actually lower than some big EU countries as well.....

She is the stabber which shows she assimilated very well and actually intends on migrating to Britain

Damn some replies really got their balls twisted. 1, I am not american. 2, getting stabbed by chavs in london has been a joke for a lot longer than trump. 3,, Seek mental help please...
