They build a giant wooden man and then burn it as an effigy. The “the man” they’re destroying is kept vague so you don’t have to think about it while you’re high in the orgy dome with a lawyer who got nestle off the hook for child slavery.

Big ol festival thing in the desert for artists. Used to be small and cool then it got big and it attracted techbros and weirdos.

To be fair, the hippie movement itself, believe it or not, all techbros.

What do people do at it? Art and blowing things up, someone said there is orgy. Drug and alcohol.

All of the art at Burning Man is created by the participants and they bring it there

All the giant structures, the pretty lights, it’s all community made, brought over piece by piece and reconstructed at the festival
