    Looked it up, and there was one female driver in the car. She got out herself and workers threw a rope down to help her out. She was taken to hospital but was more or less ok, considering.

    None of this made any sense to me. That darker tarmac is clearly a new tarmac, did they lay it on top of air? Sink holes are real, but you can’t lay a new tarmac without discovering weak surface, you have those heavy tarmac roller vehicles going over it, surely it would have sank compared to light small car.

    It might be over a culvert which is the main cause of sink holes - water erosion

    parent root
    2 points To_a_Mouse

    It's very difficult to see how the erosion could have led to this so quickly (as erosion is generally a very slow process, and there is clearly pretty much nothing left under that tarmac - so how did it hold up for the laying and steamrolling of that new tarmac?)

    On July 26, a car was swallowed by a sinkhole along Tanjong Katong Road South, prompting road closures and water disruptions. A day later, it was lifted out using a crane and placed back on the road, Channel News Asia reported.

    The car then immediately proceeded to drive off as if nothing happened?

    I have epilepsy with seizures that last ten minutes

    I only got it when I was 32. So, I had very little experience or knowledge of epilepsy. It was a steep learning curve..

    Anyway, one of the ways a partial seizure can present is with deja vu. The first time I had 10 minutes of deja vu.. it was proper fucked up. I didn't know it was a seizure. I thought I was going insane.

    2 points beatnikstrictr

    Yeah, man. It's weird as fuck. There have been loads of weird shit happen to my head and seen as though the brain controls everything, my body.

    I always mention stuff to my neurologist and he smiles and says: "Yep, that's another type of seizure."

    There was me for my whole life thinking epilepsy was flashy lights and fits. I don't even get affected by flashy lights.

    Even though I have seizures every day, my neurologist sees me as a success. Grand Mal, to generalised regularly, to lesser frequent generalised, to many partial seizures..It was so bad then over 7 years they found a mix of drugs that work. I've got a fucking prescription for weed!

    These are the three silver linings of it all:

    I got to spend so much time at home with my girls when they were little.

    I got a disabled travel card.

    I get to take weed on planes and shit. And if the police stop me in the street, the card I have gets scanned by them and I'm free to go.

    Ahh good I'm glad you're doing well. I work for the NHS (UK) and genuinely didn't know this. Sadly we can't get prescription weed here. Did try edibles when in California. I have other health conditions and it did help me. My husband did it just for fun, was high as a kite. Was so funny.

    I'm in the UK and use Alternaleaf. It's not NHS prescription but my neurologist and GP gave the thumbs up before Alternaleaf would let me use them. Such good bud.

    That's insane. I get dejavu of dejavu of having dejavu too often than I'd like to admit and it's trippy asf. Never mind having that connected with seizures.
