That's a face

A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.

The best show on Netflix

[–] Narauko 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why do I apparently have the entire theme song still in my brain meats? I only thought the show was ok during its original Adult Swim run, and it wasn't even a brain wormie theme. I apparently need to go back and watch it again to see what's up.

I am probably a minority, but I think it's the funniest of the early Adult Swim originals.

[–] Narauko 1 points 1 hour ago

Well I am going to put it to the test and see if it's available anywhere to binge watch. I remember it being perfectly fine and enjoyable, but never one I was intentionally waiting to watch. Time to find out if it holds up or even gets better with age.

The feng shui episode was the best one.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 7 hours ago

The Feast of Alvis is my favorite.

The jerks in Pod Six made you late, didn't they?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Once again, your stupidity has killed us!

Subnautica vibes.

Watch our oceans die before your very eyes!

And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.

"So we found these slugs that produce magic stem cells..."

[–] Furbag 1 points 6 hours ago

Add in "But harvesting it angered the psychic primordial shark that we worship as a god." And you've got the rough plot for the water planet from Kotor 1.

Maybe the pact holds longer in those silos 😆

This is for the oil and gas industry.

Ain't nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.

Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.

If only they explained their reasoning somewhere... all these headlines are so inconsiderate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It all read like technosolutionist mumbo-jumbo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

What part of the opening rationale was incomprehensible?

“With current diving at 150 to 200 meters, you can only get 10 minutes of work completed, followed by 6 hours of decompression. With our underwater habitats we’ll be able to do seven years’ worth of work in 30 days with shorter decompression time. More than 90 percent of the ocean’s biodiversity lives within 200 meters’ depth and at the shorelines, and we only know about 20 percent of it.”

Ok but why? Why would anybody chose to live confined underwater? If you like airtight containers so much just build a bunker

[–] Emerald 2 points 10 hours ago

Why would anybody chose to live confined underwater?

Why would anyone choose to live confined in space? Idk, but the ISS still exists.

Ocean horizons 2.0 I hope.

Elon is probably the only superhero who could actually go there an show them all! Definitely not just any rich guy could do it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I've been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so... Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?

One step closer to SOMA

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

high pressures are scary as shit.

apart from that, there's no sunlight down there. it's basically like living in antarctica.
