THERE ARE POTHOLES, and then… there are potholes.

The man climbing into this one is 6ft 2in tall.

The video shows a pothole on a road at Lismire in north Co Cork, according to Reddit user lyrelad93 who posted this image to the site yesterday.

When commenters suggested the image was Photoshopped, lyrelad93 posted a link to the video.

Come on in, the water’s lovely.
