This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

people who wanted penguin in Minecraft after not voting in the mob vote:

It depends on the goal. For example it'd work if you want to render every penguin species endangered or worse.

Neal Stephenson book, Termination Shock.

Then you have a penguin population crisis

Don't penguins already have to survive orcas?

Yeah, in the water. Giving them another apex predator on land won't make them happy, I'm sure.

4 million buy a freight boat

I work in supply chain but not a complete expert but the smallest cheapest working order freight ship I can find for sale is this one for $6MM, doesn't include licensing, crew, insurance and the dreyage/accessorial on live polar bears is gonna cost you big

Does it really need to be a big container ship?

Didn't people transport stuff in smaller boats back in the day?

(You still make a valid point though)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

they did specify freight! although getting The Cutty Sark back in working order is probably even more costly.

Idk, polar bears are really heavy, and it takes a long time to get from one end of the planet to the other, so you want something secure to store the bears in. That means a bigger ship that can handle angry bears hurling themselves at the walls of their cage, because they will wake up during the journey, and they won't be happy.

For some reason, just imagining this is fucking hilarious. OOP on a shipping container being mutinied by dozens of feral pissed of polar bears

Just do it while they're hibernating 4head
