Do you guys think I could survive in Antarctica?

I'd really like to go to Antarctica and befriend penguins. I like the cold and I like penguins so why not? Unfortunately, the average temperature is -17°C which is a bit colder than I am used to. I think it might be okay if I wear a thick jacket and a winter hat. What do you guys think? Do I have what it takes? It's my dream.

The whalers did it with shitty wooden boats and all natural materials. You'll be fine.

Be sure you bring Shackleton with you. He will increase your survival chances.

I don't usually wear people. Are you a thicc goth girl? I might be willing to make an exception.

Nah, I wouldn't be stupid enough to thaw dead frozen aliens to begin with.

be sure to bring a super thick jacket and the warmest hat you can find.

bring some snacks for you and your penguin friends and you might not want to wander very far from the ship.

My dude, the North Pole isn't real. There's no Santa. It's just rocks and snow and stuff. Also, aren't penguins extinct or something?

Well I guess it's a good thing they're going to the south pole, then

JackTea@piefed.world · 1 pts · 38d

That's fair. Except weren't they going somewhere else?

You can go on study trips there, maintaining their equipment and taking measurements, if you do various STEM subjects or geography.

Doesn't that require some sort of qualifications?

FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 36d

Hmm i think it requires good university performance, like a predicted GPA of 3.8
