I was going to ask where's Facebook's CEO, but we all know Data can walk the ocean floor and take no damage.

I've just heard that he's signed up to a cage fight with Elon. Gonna be fun seeing Elon's disjointed wrist after he punches through thin air

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Elon just gets triggered by water rescues / submarines and needed some attention.

Remember when he called that hero thai navy diver guy a pedo because he said elon's sub wasn't useful in rescuing those kids trapped in a cave? Apparently rich people and submarine pissing contents is a thing.

Under no circumstances will precious elon actually risk getting punched in the head, more's the pity.

They're going to be both in fully padded, bubblewrapped crashproof outfits with at least three lawyers in each corner and fall away caging that disintegrates when you blow on it.

[–] AlolanYoda 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

3 lawyers on each corner might not be a bad thing, they're never going to take the other down in a cage match of all things, but if their lawyers get involved they're going to waste away their time and money on this conflict instead of making life harder for us!

I've heard Zuck use contractions.

[–] Hypersapien 2 points 2 years ago

I've heard Data use contractions, too.

While I did enjoy this meme, that's not going to solve the problem. They would be replaced pretty quickly with people who are equally as dubious. That's just the system we live in.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

it wouldn't hurt tho.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

The world needs rays of sunshine sometimes though.

[–] Skylake08 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah and I bet they're already cooking up the best replacement and the transition may happen in the near future.

Where spez?

EDIT: nevermind, I guess he's in Musk's crotch.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Since the meme is about Titanic, just imagine Musk as Rose and Spez as Jack in the infamous plank scene. XD

He ain’t no billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

He a wannabe tho

[–] kratoz29 5 points 2 years ago

He must start anywhere, Elon's crutch for instance.

Indeed. My only regret about this whole dying-in-a-submarine-from-hubris deal is that Elongated Muskrat wasnt also a passenger. Bezos is a douchebag too, but at least hes only being a capitalist exploiter and not an actual enabler of fascism.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You missed someone.

Donald Trump.

[–] sensibilidades 33 points 2 years ago

the meme was about billionaires though

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

To be fair he's not a billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We know the secrets he had are worth billions, just ask jared, and we know he sold us out. He's probably worth billions now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

He does have the nuclear launch codes (/s?)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They missed the other 3,000 billionaires on Earth.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah do it Elon! You can finally use your Genius rescue tube and show this ungrateful kids + the pedo diver what they missed!!!

C'mon, we can fit more than 2 billionaires in a sub.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I found an old trash can laying on the side of the highway so I went to hardware store and bought a $3 roll of duck tape. If anyone wants to drive my new experimental uncertified submarine to the Challenger Deep hmu.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

You forgot to mention that it's only open for billionaires, spez, Trump and Putin, but that they'll be given a 100% discount.

Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

The sub has room for three more

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I bet billionaires back off the space race

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Outside of re entry I bet space is a lot safer then 2 miles deep under the ocean... I really have no clue though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

If you have a hull breach in space, supposedly you have up to a few minutes to fix it or put a suit on. 4000m below the surface, you have none.

Either one you could get trapped and suffocate, though, so I think I'm happy on land.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tbf there are probably identical risks related to pressure, just that the pressure goes the other way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I just binged The Expanse... Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it's slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait... how long can you survive for in a vacuum, and still resemble your usual self if saved?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Not for very long, but not for the reasons countless sci-fi movies and shows have told you: you’ll neither explode nor freeze to death.

People think of vacuum as something massive, but it’s actually just 1 bar difference.

Atmospheric pressure is (roughly) 1 bar, which is comparable to 10 m of water. So getting put in a vacuum is like ascending from a 10 m dive.

You don’t implode at 10 m depth, and you also don’t swell up on Mount Everest, which is roughly at 0.3 bar.

The biggest threat to your life is the actual decompression.

If you’re abruptly thrown into the vacuum, and you don’t manage to exhale immediately, the air in your lungs will expand and rip your lungs. Which is one of the biggest dangers of diving.

But more likely is that it‘ll just rip the air out of your body, which probably isn’t good for either your lungs nor your intestines.

You won’t freeze to death, because there’s no medium to transport the energy away, so you’ll only lose heat through the actual radiation, which takes pretty long. Much longer than in cold water, anyway.

Also, your blood won’t boil, since it’s protected by the skin. Maybe the exposed areas, your eyes, your saliva.

So, if you survive the initial decompression, your chances aren’t that bad, after all.

So what if we took the ocean, to space? Pressure cancels out, perfect safe.

I hope the billionaires all go to space so they can fuck up everyone's life in space instead of on Earth.
