Sydin posted:"we want it to look sleek and futuristic" 100% it was this that made it not have a transponder, not have sharp edges, not be contrasting. Which makes it more funny that it has some rusty chain and S hooks under it to hold ballast

Currently hooting and/or hollering at the fact that this submarine has so many design flaws that we'll never know which one killed everyone. Was it the carbon fiber hull failing, a material you're not supposed to use on subs? Was it the porthole rated for only 1/4 of the depth they took it to? The SMS + ship sonar navigation, that seems to repeatedly fail? Was it the lack of GPS or beacon, so they floated to the surface and then died? Did all the poo poo protruding from the sub get caught on the Titanic (FUN FACT: every protrusion from the Limiting Factor sub can be detached!) Did the $25 Logitech controller get a stuck button? We're never gonna know! Nerds are just going to speculate about this on the internet until the end of time. smoobles fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 21, 2023 |

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:Wait what happens when they have to go poop It's quite a cool system, actually. Based on the information available, the pooper shits in a ziplock bag just a few feet away from everyone, behind a thin curtain, while they crank the Celine Dion tunes so nobody else is bothered by the sounds of their moaning and anal release. An ingenious solution that I can't wait to see implemented elsewhere, as humanity moves forward into the future.

Someone on the BBC says that if reports of hearing noises in a 30 minute interval are true then it echoes advice that the old French navy diver dude on board would know about alerting rescuers. Which is frankly loving horrifying, I genuinely wish they're all dead and died days ago because the alternatives aren't worth contemplating no matter how much those on board suck.

Yeah, I really hope they died in that sub 100ms implosion that was discussed earlier. Barring a successful rescue, that's 1000% the least worst outcome here. I'm not going to bat for the criminally negligent CEO, or the billionaires, but I don't want anyone involved here to die in the slow ways that are possible  (Ok, maybe the CEO, since it is 90% his fault, but that can't happen without the extreme suffering of the others)

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I remember when I was a kid and me and my family were sailing from the Isle of Man down to Wales, and the weather got really poo poo. My dad got so seasick he basically went blind and couldn't read charts anymore, and my little brother was so seasick, he went grey and stopped speaking. We called out the lifeboat, and they came and got us, towed us to safety by attaching a line to our boat's Sampson post - towed us so fast my folks were worried they'd yank our bow under. Took me and my sibs onto the lifeboat and fed us toast and tomato soup and let my little brother sit up at a deactivated console to press buttons while they brought us all to safety. They were all lovely people, and turned a very frightening experience into a warm and happy one. The sea is beautiful and glorious, but it is not our friend and it does not loving care. edit: the lack of a tow hook on the lovely sub made me think of this
