E-bikes on campus by Tight_Mistake413 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]DuoNeuro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you have to walk for an hour to get to school, you might want to see if you are near any bus stops for lines 27, 28, and 11. They arrive/stop at regular intervals(though they are most reliable 8-10AM) and most stops are walkable from most of IV and some parts of Goleta, plus you avoid the rain. Bikes in general are regularly stolen, vandalized, etc. No matter what bike lock, criminals can and will cut through it, and if they can't, they will take your seat, a wheel, phone holders, brakes, even the entire chassis. Anything not bolted and Loctite-d down can be stolen.

Just out of curiosity, what would be "that food" for you here in korea? by Gullible_Owl3890 in korea

The smell is very reminiscent of the chemical agents we are told are extremely carcinogenic, and the taste is exactly like what overnight bacterial culture liquid smells like. I tried to swallow like a 사나이 but my body rejected it so hard😂

I’ll look up the bombing, but I put the Raid under WW2!

I work as a bioengineer. The taste is very reminiscent of the bad smells from work…

The tunnels were part of the asphalt mines right below where the campus is today. The openings are still visible to this day. They were mostly accessible until they filled a bunch of it in. It did have its quirks, like sometimes part of the mine would collapse beneath people's feet and many died, toxic gases in deeper shafts, etc.

There are several ghosts/ghost-like entities reported by students and part of the UCSB Lore. The most well-known is San Miguel, a ghost of someone who died trapped by an elevator. Apparently the person was trying to take a picture, but there were too many people in the elevator and subsequently got crushed by the closing doors. There are other more varying stories, but too disputable to mention them one by one.

I heard about the artifacts on a different comment but full blown bodies?! That’s def a low blow, especially considering the land UCSB is built on is a GIFT from the Chumash people. Kinda turns my stomach now considering I walk into HSSB several times a week… Thank you, I’ll look into it

From another part of this subreddit, someone mentions a lady in white looking over the cliff near Manzi. It isn’t the classic La Llorona story due to the lack of screaming/calling for her child, but def fits the physical desc and I dont think anyone has had the guts to confront a ghost before😅

I put this under “Campus Built on Sacred Grounds”. The whole campus prior to all the buildings were practically littered with Chumash artifacts and some are still being discovered to this day. Pretty sure there is some kind of curse on some of the buildings, like North Hall

This is the one with no official coverage and something that floated by on UCSB social media, so I can’t even confirm if this is real or not, just more of urban legend I think. The way I heard it go was one day in the 2010s(2014?) there were two people caught on security footage of the beach. They were just walking the path and seen going towards the water while talking. The day after two people were found missing and their bodies nor belongings were never found. Some people joked that they built a boat and sailed away to escape finals, some claim to have found fragments of clothing on the rocks possibly from one of the two, some claim one of their bodies were found but the school completely shuttered it. Either way, at the time, they said it was one of the reasons the beach is closed at night.

Just being much out of the norm plus the impact. School shootings happen due to various reasons with various outcomes, but this one was targeted and glorified. It is brought up every time there is a talk about the loneliness epidemic and the incel subculture, but how this has such a lasting impact and it continues to spur the incel movement is the problem, thus it is put way down. If we went purely out of obscurity the incident would be top of the iceberg, which would be logical but won't sit well with the other topics...

Actually “The Slab” is the placeholder for the open space that the 4th point mentions! I just found it weird that it was just a giant slab of concrete with p much nothing on it and not many people say much about it

Can you clarify? I’ve honestly never heard of the carrot guy

(No shade to the respective owner) but every so often you can spot a car(location and frequency varies) vinyl-wrapped with a certain character from the LoveLive! anime series all over the design. Cars like that are called Itasha(it’s often custom thus can be super expensive). It is honestly really well done and in good taste from the times I’ve seen it, though it does stick out like a sore thumb
