Can we mass produce those submarines? They only have to reach a few thousand metres of depth once, so it should be easier.

A chain with an iron ball would be far cheaper tbh.

But it's more elegant if you get them to get in voluntarily. Just tell them it's something the poors cannot do.

We could bring back the elegance and pageantry of casting them off a cliff as tribute to Poseidon. Maybe ask him to cool down oceanic temperatures a little bit? Could actually work. Not because Poseidon is real, but because weโ€™re eliminating some of the top contributors to climate change.

I like your logic.

Why not hemp rope and a rock then?

jaybone@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 142d

This doesnโ€™t have to last forever. Maybe five minutes tops. Some cinder blocks and rope will be fine.

Huh "submarine" rhymes with "guillotine" I just noticed

Did you hear the one about the billionaire who tried to put a screen door on a guillotine?

Some people just collapse under pressure.

deep down for sure, i mean, if you dig deep enough into the mariana trench you'll find sunshine when you exit the planet through the other side

but honestly, does it matter? i mean, the purpose of a system is what it does. it does not matter whether they believe in the future deep down as long as they act like it. so we must ensure policies that bring us into the future, independent of whether our rulers want to or not. that's what we can actually talk about and measure, everything below the surface is not actually something that we can determine.


edit: oh lol i didn't even see that was a submarine. i thought it was a surveillance camera at first. joke flew over my head.

You might say you thought to deeply on the subject :p

If the good person deep inside you never comes out, what does it matter?

Build more and send it.

Replace "The Rich" with "Oligarchs", slap this on a t-shirt, and I'm in.

Deep down, billionaires are good people. #OceanGate

Agent641@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 141d

Let's give the billionaires a round of applause. Or at least one big, loud clap.

How about a short drop and a sudden stop?
