    You can’t really be killed by both at the same time, unless somehow the guillotine blade lands on your neck as soon as the submarine implodes. But even then, only one of them will claim a kill to its name.

    So this is a case where we can’t just have both. And I’m always the one who references that commercial in comments.

      I mean, there’s plenty of billionaires so it doesn’t have to be both at the same time.

      The blade would have to be partway in your neck, because the subs implode that fast.

  I don’t.
  I want the classic one as it’s far more sustainable & reusable, (even more) eco friendly, and the ride can be enforced in case they get last minute jitters.

    I imagine that the carbon offset caused by a billionaire no longer existing would outweigh most “dirty” forms of death

      Im thinking poultry industry mechanised processing. We have those and they themselves labeled it ‘humane’ (Im not saying they are human or humane, it’s just the words we are using).

    I understand. The ride doesn’t need external assistance though. It seems to have some natural magic force that attracts billionaires. I never heard the classic being used by a person on their own, out of free will.

    Maybe they both have their own specialisation, so they can coexist without competing for customers.

    • Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You are right. But the magic is working too show for a meaningful all-around effect.

      The classic is a proven method. Idj, Im just worried & don’t want to get it wrong.

  I say we give the billionaires Elmer’s glue, q-tips and toilet paper rolls and whoever gets to the Titanic wins a prize.

    They’ll never get to proper crushing depths with that though. I say we provide them with exact replicas down to the Logitech F1350s.

      I’m okay with watching them swim six hundred and ninety kilometres to shore.

  The new model is flawed because it negatively impacts the ocean environment.

  Sadly this new billionaire stunt will likely have no karmic punchline. They plan on using a real sub, not just a glorified plastic tube.

    The Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres) and there are only a handful of subs currently rated to go there. I’d bet money this new ass-clown is going to treat safety the same way the last one did.

      And you’d be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.

      Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - engineering.com/…/potential-structural-reasons-fo…

      "You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

      There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

      I doubt they will, considering they probably don’t want to die and got a reminder of what recklessness gets you.

  Big fan of the billionaire crushing machine

  source
• Rustmilian@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Billionaires like Larry Connor pursuing these expeditions with experimental submersibles seem to be driven more by ego, novelty-seeking, and a reckless desire to conquer challenges that provide little scientific value, rather than any practical purpose that hasn’t already been accomplished. Their decisions to risk their lives in this manner over something so well-explored is stupid and unnecessary.

  Not in this case. The new sub is actually being built by a competent company, not morons.

    Good company will get ruined by boomer investors that know nothing about submarines and it’ll be oceangate 2 electric bugalo.

      Investors aren’t going to get into submarines unless they already are interested in them.

• Admetus@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  To be fair though, part of the passengers were a father & son participating in a sort of father & son trip in which the son was adamant that he didn’t want to go down in the submarine. He was literally scared. But the father dragged the son down with him, and sadly the son perished inside something he feared.
