Do they burn a new man every year or do they burn the same person annually?
It's short for "Burning Manny". There's one guy, Manuel Asada, and they burn him every year. It's cool though, he's into it.
Do you mean this guy? https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Manny_Garcia
I have so Manny questions....
Nope. It's Manny Asada, he co-headlines the festival every year with his cousin Manuel Labór

I've come around. Us internet dwellers should take it easy on the judgment and cynicism about this festival.
People take the internet too seriously these days. Let the festival people have fun.
Burning Man turning into Fyre Festival. Time is a circle.
I’ve been to burning man, but even I can’t help but laugh a little bit at this… you wanted “radical self-reliance”? You got it.
But they didn't really want radical self reliance. They wanted the Medieval Times version of radical self reliance.
Burning Mud.
Everybody there is now suddenly a Primitive Technology fan
Except they are lacking the firewood to make the nice pots and bricks to build huts.

Mudding Man
Extinguished man
Who would think an old lake bed in the middle of a flash flood prone desert might be an issue
What is burning Man? I know it's a festival of some sorts that's done in a desert, but that's about all I know.
What happens there?
Rich people travel 1000+ kilometres to gather around and pretend to be not rich and just like common folks! This is my understanding as someone who isn't american.
Burning Man was an amazing event when I stumbled across it on the internet in the late 90's. I must have been 14 or 15, it used to be a real "go experience, experiment and find yourself" setting. It's since gone the way of SXSW. It totally goes against what it was intended for.

Watch Malcolm In The Middle, season 7 episode 1 "Burning Man". It'll give you a fair approximation.
I think they set somebody on fire every year.
Now its Muddy Man Festival
More like "Drowned Man" this year.
The biggest celebration of capitalism I've ever seen.😒
This looks like a pithy truism but it really just sounds idiotic. You ever been to, like, a trade show?
Burning man is far from perfect but it's a step in the right direction.

Money does not solve disasters like this
You mean they're not gonna be able to innovate their way out of this one? :(
Really though this is looking like it's about to turn into a legitimate humanitarian crisis somehow???
Climate change? Fucking duh, we've known that for decades. How are people surprised?
How do they find a man who is willing to be burned?
First you get a virgin police officer to visit an island run by Christopher Lee.
