the paris catacombs are 1000x more fucked up than i imagined
did you know the cops once found a fully functioning movie theater with a well-stocked bar inside the catacombs and they when they tried to go back later to formally investigate it was completely emptied out save for a note that read “don’t search for us”

my little bro is part of the catacombs community and yeah, it’s basically a fully autonomous society! enough that when my bro goes in on a friday night, they don’t come out until monday for work- sometimes longer if they took days off.
some of the rooms have fully stocked pantries with cooking equipment, some have movies like the one described above, some have books you’re allowed to just take but people always put back- every day people bring things from the outside. artists often set up galleries there. there are rooms with mattresses and hammocks set up for people to sleep. one of the room is just a place where people leave shoes for the fun of it.
this is Known, it’s not a secret by any means. the catacombs are as big as paris itself, and people live there just as people live above. it’s wonderful when you think about it.
A little update! My little bro is now my little sister. Please don’t misgender her :)
i think we need to bring back calling people internet famous instead of calling them influencers like there needs to be something borderline derogatory injected back into it
