>ywn explore the ocean abyss in a private submersiblewhy even live?
>>2068271>why even liveBecause I'd rather live and not die where I instantly become paste on which the creatures of the ocean feed upon, never be seen or heard from again
>>2068271the molloy deep descent makes me wish someone would attach a submersible to one of those icebreakers instead of a boring rov. idk just the idea of checking out the aurora vent field or amundsen basin and knowing that this spots been under permanent ice cover for thousands of years. it's like going back to the cryogenian
i loved this news story, it was such a good memememe because the sub started as a dogshit design and didnt hit any of the safety regulations before it even left the yard. it was inherently a shit sub and everyone that commented on it said the same and more than that, it did several dives to the same depth before that we didnt hear about becase nothing happened. it was a shit design that worked several timesalso its still unknown exactly why it delaminated. it could have easily been caused by one of the jeets onboard hitting the joints on the walls too hardsubs are actually fairly safe, moreso than a car in fact. the problem that people have with them is that if something goes wrong its basically instantly over
im not going underwater in the ocean unless it's to rape/get raped by a dolphin and that can be done at very shallow depths
>>2068277literally every single deep sea submersible other than the titan are completely safe
>>2068503>>2068277just hang out with Gay Ben of Valve Software, he famously has a modest(for a gazillionaire) yacht and a deep diving scientific sub and does literal deep dives as a hobby. im not even kidding except for calling him Gay Ben and using Gape Newell instead of a real pic, that nigga is REALhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_Limiting_Factor
>>2068532James Cameron famously had a sub built specifically to explore the Mariana's TrenchJeffery Epstein also had a sub that he was apparently using to go exploring off the coast of Florida to search for signs of Atlantis (I'm not kidding about that, man was autistic as fuck by his own admission)
>>2068401> subs are actually fairly safe, moreso than a car in fact
>>2068582its true oceansgate was a company making objectively shitty subs so they dont really count (imagine if some guy made a car from scratch and the engine blew up killing 4 people, its the same thing). you probably cant name a single other submarine accident. you can probably name people hurt by cars though, you probably also know a few in person. subs are the same as planes here, if something goes wrong probably its a fast death for everyone involved but its also incredibly unlikely. basically, if you get total kms traveled and divide that by total injuries/deaths for both cars and subs youll see that subs harm less people per km
