I say we give the billionaires Elmer’s glue, q-tips and toilet paper rolls and whoever gets to the Titanic wins a prize.
They’ll never get to proper crushing depths with that though. I say we provide them with exact replicas down to the Logitech F1350s.
I’m okay with watching them swim six hundred and ninety kilometres to shore.
You got the start to a deluxe pizza there
I don’t.
I want the classic one as it’s far more sustainable & reusable, (even more) eco friendly, and the ride can be enforced in case they get last minute jitters.I imagine that the carbon offset caused by a billionaire no longer existing would outweigh most “dirty” forms of death
Im thinking poultry industry mechanised processing. We have those and they themselves labeled it ‘humane’ (Im not saying they are human or humane, it’s just the words we are using).
I read a brochure at my local butcher shop. The chickens they sell are put in crates and gassed to death. Supposedly pretty easy on the animals. This seems much more efficient than individual submersible trips.
I understand. The ride doesn’t need external assistance though. It seems to have some natural magic force that attracts billionaires. I never heard the classic being used by a person on their own, out of free will.
Maybe they both have their own specialisation, so they can coexist without competing for customers.
You are right. But the magic is working too slow for a meaningful all-around effect.
The classic is a proven method. Idj, Im just worried & don’t want to get it wrong.
Sadly this new billionaire stunt will likely have no karmic punchline. They plan on using a real sub, not just a glorified plastic tube.
The Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres) and there are only a handful of subs currently rated to go there. I’d bet money this new ass-clown is going to treat safety the same way the last one did.
I doubt they will, considering they probably don’t want to die and got a reminder of what recklessness gets you.
They are contracting Triton Submarines to do it, and they look pretty legit.
Reading about their ultra-deep submersibles it does sound like they have the specs for it. I probably wouldn’t dare but it doesn’t seem like they’re fucking around like the lunatics on that Logitech controlled imploder
Big fan of the billionaire crushing machine
Billionaires like Larry Connor pursuing these expeditions with experimental submersibles seem to be driven more by ego, novelty-seeking, and a reckless desire to conquer challenges that provide little scientific value, rather than any practical purpose that hasn’t already been accomplished. Their decisions to risk their lives in this manner over something so well-explored is stupid and unnecessary.
Touch grass.
Not in this case. The new sub is actually being built by a competent company, not morons.
To be fair though, part of the passengers were a father & son participating in a sort of father & son trip in which the son was adamant that he didn’t want to go down in the submarine. He was literally scared. But the father dragged the son down with him, and sadly the son perished inside something he feared.
