I was going to ask where's Facebook's CEO, but we all know Data can walk the ocean floor and take no damage.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've just heard that he's signed up to a cage fight with Elon. Gonna be fun seeing Elon's disjointed wrist after he punches through thin air

[–] artisanrox@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

They're going to be both in fully padded, bubblewrapped crashproof outfits with at least three lawyers in each corner and fall away caging that disintegrates when you blow on it.

[–] LordBinz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago

Indeed. My only regret about this whole dying-in-a-submarine-from-hubris deal is that Elongated Muskrat wasnt also a passenger. Bezos is a douchebag too, but at least hes only being a capitalist exploiter and not an actual enabler of fascism.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

While I did enjoy this meme, that's not going to solve the problem. They would be replaced pretty quickly with people who are equally as dubious. That's just the system we live in.

[–] ondoyant 12 points 1 year ago

it wouldn't hurt tho.

[–] beerEnjoyer@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

The world needs rays of sunshine sometimes though.

[–] torafugu@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You missed someone.

Donald Trump.

[–] olpappy@mander.xyz 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair he's not a billionaire.

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We know the secrets he had are worth billions, just ask jared, and we know he sold us out. He's probably worth billions now.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

He does have the nuclear launch codes (/s?)

[–] AllonzeeLV@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They missed the other 3,000 billionaires on Earth.

[–] Jentu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago

C'mon, we can fit more than 2 billionaires in a sub.

[–] gnp@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The fediverse seems interested in seeing these people die. I understand these people suck a lot, but wishing death is pretty fucked up. Something I’d expect from Reddit.

[–] ondoyant 5 points 1 year ago

both these chucklefucks would kill you for a dollar. just sayin'.

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The hatred towards rich and succesful people is one of the harder to grasp concepts I've been dealing with in reddit. I don't get it. I do but I don't.

[–] ondoyant 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you learn enough about the victims of capital, you start to hate the people who own it. killing them wouldn't solve anything, but i'd still throw a party if they beefed it.

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Hating someone because they're wealthy is no different from hating someone because they're black or jew

[–] fckgwrhqq2yxrkt 2 points 1 year ago

It's not though. Wealth disparity has a profound impact on almost all of our lives and well being. Blacks and Jews do not, but are sometimes used as a scapegoat for the issues that disparity causes us.

I wouldn't say it's about how rich and successful they are, it's more that they benefit from a system that brutalizes so many. And they're not just participating in it, they're actively enabling it. Hell, i don't know about musk, but bezos had his part in shaping it.

[–] sajran@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I agree, that's the first thing I thought after seeing this. And now you're being downvoted. I'm a bit disappointed to be honest, in my head this community was supposed to be better.

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah do it Elon! You can finally use your Genius rescue tube and show this ungrateful kids + the pedo diver what they missed!!!

[–] Arystique 3 points 1 year ago

I think all someone would need to do is make a meme of elons sub with him in it, at the titanic crash site, give him a pog face then place text that says "why elon is better then bezos" and both would race to get down there first

[–] nekothegamer@vlemmy.net 10 points 1 year ago

actually the one that has a good submarine to go to the depts of the titanic is gabe newell

it sound really weird, but it's true

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I found an old trash can laying on the side of the highway so I went to hardware store and bought a $3 roll of duck tape. If anyone wants to drive my new experimental uncertified submarine to the Challenger Deep hmu.

[–] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

You forgot to mention that it's only open for billionaires, spez, Trump and Putin, but that they'll be given a 100% discount.

[–] fckgwrhqq2yxrkt 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm going to have to look at how you are driving it. I don't want to see any fancy wires or anything, and I played Wave Race 64 back in the day so I'm pretty sure I can drive it if you use one of those controllers.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use only the finest madcatz wireless N64 controllers from the sketchiest seller on aliexpress.

[–] patomaloqueiro@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

The sub has room for three more

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet billionaires back off the space race

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Outside of re entry I bet space is a lot safer then 2 miles deep under the ocean... I really have no clue though

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tbf there are probably identical risks related to pressure, just that the pressure goes the other way.

[–] meldroc@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I just binged The Expanse... Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it's slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait... how long can you survive for in a vacuum, and still resemble your usual self if saved?

[–] quandoquando@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not for very long, but not for the reasons countless sci-fi movies and shows have told you: you’ll neither explode nor freeze to death.

People think of vacuum as something massive, but it’s actually just 1 bar difference.

Atmospheric pressure is (roughly) 1 bar, which is comparable to 10 m of water. So getting put in a vacuum is like ascending from a 10 m dive.

You don’t implode at 10 m depth, and you also don’t swell up on Mount Everest, which is roughly at 0.3 bar.

The biggest threat to your life is the actual decompression.

If you’re abruptly thrown into the vacuum, and you don’t manage to exhale immediately, the air in your lungs will expand and rip your lungs. Which is one of the biggest dangers of diving.

But more likely is that it‘ll just rip the air out of your body, which probably isn’t good for either your lungs nor your intestines.

You won’t freeze to death, because there’s no medium to transport the energy away, so you’ll only lose heat through the actual radiation, which takes pretty long. Much longer than in cold water, anyway.

Also, your blood won’t boil, since it’s protected by the skin. Maybe the exposed areas, your eyes, your saliva.

So, if you survive the initial decompression, your chances aren’t that bad, after all.

[–] meldroc@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IIRC, the biggest problem in a vacuum is that your lungs work in reverse, expelling oxygen from your bloodstream into the void, so you have about 15 seconds of consciousness with which to panic before you black out.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That is an unpleasant thought.

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Wow thank you for the detailed reply I learned a few new things today!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This is very informative, thank you.

[–] fckgwrhqq2yxrkt 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what if we took the ocean, to space? Pressure cancels out, perfect safe.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haha we'd need ~~a lot more~~ correction: infinity ocean to be able to do that!

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I hope the billionaires all go to space so they can fuck up everyone's life in space instead of on Earth.

[–] fckgwrhqq2yxrkt 1 points 1 year ago

If they all go to space it's because they are abandoning us on a dead planet, not because they want to leave us alone.
