I know ultra modern military poo poo you cannot get specs for but cant you base it on some older ones that didnt gently caress up or suck and at a minimum was just a big coffin at the worst Modern military submarines don't appear to be able to go that deep. Gabe Newell spent 37 million dollars on his 2 man submarine that can go down to the deepest parts of the ocean.

As we speak James Bond is closing with the escape sub before Goldfinger changes his identity, ready for another incredibly boring underwater battle sequence

it cost over $20m just to refit Alvin and that is the correct submarine to use for something like this

William Bear posted:Military submarines are no use here, they're designed to go around 800-1000 feet below the surface. The Titanic is 13,000 feet under. Ah I assume this is because after a certain depth your pretty much invisible. That's crazy to think that subs a vessel we kind of think as a deep deep sea craft is actually not that far underneath the surfacd

A fleet's 5 day search for 2 billionaires and their hanger ons will cause more pollution than I could generate in a lifetime. Very cool. Thank God the NYPD boarded my bus this morning to make sure everybody paid for a ticket (I didnt--get fuckdd)

Oh also I suppose since military subs are massive it's hard to not have it turn into a crunched up ball of metal when it goes too deep But why the poop pit at the front?????

Can’t believe they use a generic controller in wireless mode to drive the thing, I barely trust those things to play contra clones at this point. Since everybody’s on the floor and the controller’s not connected to anything, I’m just picturing the 3D printed joysticks being there so no one can accidentally sit on it and scuttle the sub on a rock. Don’t attach the controls to anything, just put big rear end spikes on it like what they use to keep pidgeons off of ledges.

Also if you stick the business end of a bicycle pump into your urethra you can pump yourself up to 600 psi or so. Obviously wouldn’t help in this situation but it’s useful for shallower dives.

lol imagine camming 5 people into a box that's like 10 feet wide and then you got some stranger inches away grunting and straining as they take a massive smelly poo poo in some hole while blocking the only window, then knowing that you're gonna have to smell that for days. Then someone can't take it and they puke right next to you and there's nothing to clean that up, while someone else shits their pants since they couldn't wait for the one hole to clear

What are the TikTok titanic truthers saying about all this? I don’t know if this came up already but I saw an article in the times about it just a couple days ago https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/16/business/titanic-tiktok-misinformation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare quote:On the short-form video app, long-established facts about the crash are being newly litigated as musty rumors merge with fresh misinformation and manipulated content — a demonstration of TikTok’s potent ability to seed historical revisionism about even the most deeply studied cases.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:Imagine being trapped in a sub with Gaben Oh I'll finally learn what hl3 is supposed to loving be Also I drew up a schematic on the sub  So that's me up front as obviously I'm the captain. I'm also very tall and like to stand so some structural designs were made. The three people are there to help with the rescue. One has a hard hat with a light on it because that's always a good idea and is a very cool position to have. The next dude has a pickaxe incase any minecraft poo poo goes down. And the third dude is just happy to have a day off work. Unpaid though but hey that's how it goes. We also have food and fun to keep morale high. Also we can exit the sub on our own if we want that seems kind of important. And I'm drinking a beer and smoking a joint cuz that's what I was doing when I drew this Looks good imo
