The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?
No. Even if they find where it is, they have to figure out a way to a) get to it and b) bring it to the surface.
The only subs that can go down there are automated rovers, which are not designed for lifting objects. They don't have the ability to bring the sub to the surface, and I guess the best hope would be that they could free the sub if it was entangled in something.
But considering they haven't even found the sub yet, it would be at least 12 hours before they could devise a rescue plan if they even found it.
I can't remember the name, but we have ships designed to rescue submarines from that depth with essentially a long ass crane. I don't know of they still exist, but America did it to recover a soviet(?) Sub that fell to the bottom of the ocean.
Either way there's no way they have enough oxygen to last much longer unfortunately...
They do still exist:

But unfortunately we have gone from it will take a minor miracle to save them, to it will take a major miracle, along with at least one of our core assumptions being wrong.
With the news of the potential debris being located, the odds of rescue are even less. The coast guard is set to give an update on the debris in about an hour.
