Not like anything I do or say moves the needle on the outcome here

I mean, I guess it is a little interesting. I haven't done it, but to compare to rescuing the Thai children in the cave? I presume that thread had a lot less joking going on.
For me I think it's more that they 100% went into this of their own free will and choice, had many chances to evaluate the dangers, did it anyway, and by post #2 I had already concluded the most likely outcome. I would think I'd feel a lot differently if they were in communication, or there were some signs they were still alive. But at this point they aren't much different than Darwin award winners and people joke about those all the time. It's basically "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
