Hey. me too! I started tests using rocks. I figure, if a rock attached with a string can reach the bottom, then I should be able to go inside a larger rock and reach the bottom too!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

With a string around the rock, ofcourse. I'm not crazy!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Fine, just hold tight to this here anchor and jump. You'll be on site in no time.

This guy seems to be taking safety slightly more seriously with his sub plans than the last guy. Which is unfortunate for people looking forward to more billionaires transforming themselves into paste.

Good. Can we get more billionaire onto this trend of offing themselves?

The Titanic is hungry. It must be fed. The spice must flow

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago

All right, get into the idiot squisher.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Damn, not Wexner

Tf? This is the new Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

then shalt thou count to three...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Right. One, Two, Five

I mean, if he uses a different model of sub he and his passengers would probably be alright.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This billionaire, rather than trying to wing-it and design his own submarine, is enlisting the services of a company that has already designed, built, and used a number of record setting deep-sea manned submarines.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the sub.

But like, anybody else perfectly okay if he doesn’t come back up?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'll be immeasurably disappointed if he doesn't at least come back with emotional trauma

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe we can get a Humboldt Squid to harass them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'll donate my fish to this worthy cause

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Is it that giant parrot fish that literally chews rocks and coral? Can imagine one of those dumbasses swimming beside you chomping down.

And you thought Aunt Edna chewed loudly…

Possibly a drum dish doing its mating call thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

chews on rocks

We might not need Mr Humboldt after all

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Please take the muskrat with you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

seconded! Mr. Musk, if you read this, you would be the greatest of all time if he regularly took new submarine constructions down to the Titanic!

There was a meme of a graph of Titanic deaths over time with a huge spike on it's maiden voyage then a little bump a few years ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Yes that one, it might need an update sooner than we think. :D

[–] [email protected] 88 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We won't need guillotines if we can just make it trendy for billionaires to do dumb shit like this. 👍

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

Like ~~moths~~ billionaires to ~~a flame~~ the wreck of the Titanic.

The strangest thing about this is a billionaire thinks Ohio is a good place to live.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I've heard it on good authority that Cleveland Rocks.

I don't think the host of The Price is Right would lie to me about such things.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

For a billionaire, anywhere can be a good place to live. You have money to force the shit around you to be what you want.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Even a trillionaire couldn't force Ohio to be worth living in.
