What weapons and supplies would one need on such a perilous journey?
>implying you can breach the firmamentlmao
>>65272671A globe to help them navigate, along with a compass
>>65272671I imagine that with distances like what would be involved here conventional propulsion on ships would be impractical. You would need nuclear propulsion on every single ship you sent out there. Using what exists in real life, I would say at least 3 American carriers with at least 1 turned into a cargo ship with food, extra munitions and spare reverse osmosis units for the rest of the battlegroup, two of those russian nuclear icebreakers (preferably without any russians on board), an attack submarine and a boomer for the nuclear option. Actually, give the carriers more air-delivered nukes too.
>>65272671A functional brainAlas, that’s not happening to the members of this expedition
>>65272671Some good old fashioned 12 ga. shotguns and lots of tinned food.
More importantly, which outlying island will you colonise first in the name of King and Country?For me its Glarnia
>>65272793And no skimping on the lead.
>>65272671Where do the cute xeno races live who may or may not have a human body plan and a need to wed adventurous homosapiens with interspecies breeding? Whatever supplies and equipment it takes to get to that part.
>>65272715Evil.
>>65272810Its a Flat Eart expedition, that lead will already be in abundance compared to neurons
>>65272719>3 American carriers with at least 1 turned into a cargo ship with food, extra munitions and spare reverse osmosis units for the rest of the battlegroupI think every ship should be autonomous and you don't really need an airforce there. What you need is a nuclear-powered Iowa basically. > (preferably without any russians on board)And who do you sacrifice to The Thing Below then, you madman?We also need flying boats. The more Catalinas the better.
>>65272671crossing the Pacific already takes ~25days with conventional shipsso if we assume the voyage goes beyond the second ice wallyou'll easily end up with a journey longer than >6months, possible a yearbut that assumes you keep it short, likely you'll be on your way for yearsthe only vessels that can sustain you for this long are nuclear poweredand the only nuclear research vessel ever build is the>NS Otto Hahnpic relatedfood is the secondary issuebut kinda solved today with enough energyhydroponics is mature enough and you can get all resources from just air+water (granted you REALLY have enough energy because e.g. Haber-Bosch takes Hydrogen which is expensive to get with electrolysis)probably would try to keep the crew <200that way you can reasonably know everyonefor weapons likely just a regular naval gun in the 100-200mm shell size range, after all it's an expeditions and we only need self defense not destroyer capabilitiesor, if viable, a railgun would be even betterammo is considerably smaller, only at the cost of electricity, which the nuclear reactor should provide plentyplus a few Tomahawk / MdCN or similar and Aster 15 / 30, but only as insurance, not for regular active use
>>65272853>What you need is a nuclear-powered Iowa basicallyWhy would you want a smaller boat with less storage space relative to its size?
>>65272671Do you have that picture but bigger some of the text is still blurry.
>>65272966Don't say I never did anything for you.
>>65272971Where is this from?
>>65272971Thanks
>PotatopiaLmao
>>65273019It's from real life
>>65273060WRONG. Tell me, where is it from?
>>65272671This is a joke, right? There is no way people believe in the flat earth shit.
>>65272671Why is there a radiated waste? Who nuked them?
>>65272679>firmamentstill don't know how that part of the narrative even took off.
Level V plates and a .22
>>65272804The Isle of Mann sounds like a nice place.
>>65273144We talked about a dome in the late 50's when people were more free to physically go there and check it out.
>>65272671An expedition past the ice walls would fix me
>>65272971Is this from an alternate d&d map or something? It has 5e vibes for sure
>>65273538>13000 feetQuite an useless dome when you can just fly over it.
>>65273538It's talking about Dome A.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_A
>>65272671Wastes, wastes everywhere
>>65273130It’s more plausible than manned space travel with finite resources.
>>65273635It's more plausible than something that happened?
>>65273130You got niggers believing they descended from Egyptian pharaohs and Wakanda being a real place. Shit's a government psy-op to poison the well when it comes to conspiracy theories, or any thesis regarding people on top and shady dealings. My schizo take: It's being used as a census and recruiting tool for useful idiots.
>>65273538>when people were more free to physically go there and check it out.You can actually literally go and visit, the notion that you can't is a myth.
>>65273548Medication and less time on social media would fix you.
>>65273130People are having fun.
>>65273668>It's being used as a census and recruiting tool for useful idiots.Actual true schizophrenics are self-sustaining useful idiots, because their brains get into a retarded feedback loop where connections continue to be made regardless of if they make any sense, and the connection being made is the important part because it gives dopamines, which is why that sort of person becomes increasingly incomprehensible.Schizophrenics occasionally stumble upon the right lead on something real, but that's because their brains are just constantly throwing shit at the wall and constantly deciding "Yep, that checks out!" every single time, so it's like a monkeys with typewriters thing.This means that any genuine observations they might have are often coincidental, but are also crowded out a by a lot of stupid noise they also produce for themselves, and which they then go and try to disseminate into discourse.As such, they are someone who spontaneously generates red herrings for powerful and shady actors in the world. They get some free plausible deniability when some schizo accidentally guesses right, because then they can just disregard an observation as being schizobabble.Shit like this is why I dislike the meme of "all conspiracy theories are actually true," because schizophrenic ramblings are just a bunch of nonsense which muddies waters and makes it harder to get to the bottom of actually grounded conspiracy theories with serious merit.
>>65272971>Go beyond the global south
>>65272971Glad to see the Valheim devs got of their asses
>>65272671A nuclear converted U-boat with a whaling harpoon on the deck >>65272719>>65272853You stupid fucks already nuked Antarctica and got btfo.
>>65273130Do you also pop into every anime and vidya thread screaming the same?
>>65273130[insert “You must be fun at parties” here]
>>65273538You mean like in the Simpsons movie?
What would world politics even be like in this scenario? Kinda hard to tell other countries in the earth zone to stop building nuke when nigga in asgard are lobbing tsar bombs into the stratosphere every months.
>>65272671Aten looks suspiciously like the continent of Erusea from Ace Combat
>>65273538It's actually quite easy to physically go there and check it out. Very expensive, but still easy as long as you can afford it. Plenty of youtubers and even just normal people who like adventurous traveling have done it. There's cruise companies that specialise in the southern seas, offering cruises to Antarctica, South Georgia, and other remote subantarctic areas (picrel). Hell there's a good chance you can apply right now to work in an Antarctica science station as a cook or technician no matter where you're from. It's a job that pays quite well too, since there's not many people around who would consider spending months or years in what is the most isolated and possibly most miserable place on Earth.
>>65272671>>65272971Looks like it was ripped off from a Warhammer 40k map
>>65272671According to the flat map, any flight from Australia to Argentina should take several days of continous flying
>>65273538No retards, I mean the idea of the firmament mostly comes from linguistic drift. The word was firmamentum in latin, and was translated from a hebrew word meaning "expanse," but due to linguistic drift became associated with a barrier of some sort.
>>65275841I'm working at South Pole in October, lol the pay is awful. 900 dollars a week.only some of the more science roles (10m elescope winter-over, research associate, whatnot) get paid a bit better, along with more specialized tradespeople (firefighters, controls tech).
>>65276429Research jobs pay like shit-t. tripled my income by escaping astronomy
>>6527655780,000 + 15% end of deployment bonus for a RA vs 600 a week for a steward man, it's all relative in USAP land
>>65276557I don't think fortrune telling is a good career.
>>65276949That's why he escaped it.
