Actually, it’s sand or rock. The water is on top of that.

Wrong.
The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.

should have brought a flashlight smh

Is that so? The bottom of a glass is glass. But the ocean is not the glass; it’s the water in the glass. You wouldn’t say that the bottom of the water in the glass is made of glass.

What about the second time?

I don’t know if anyone’s ever been down there again. I vaguely remember a headline in the last 5 or so years that said someone was trying, to, though I don’t know if they have.

So it’s just water all the way down? Then why are all these geologist types talking about some mythical “crust” and “mantle” nonsense? You should probably talk some sense into them.
Assman@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Crust? Mantle? We’re talking about the ocean, not pies or furniture.

I learned about brine pools recently and I’m fascinated

I believe Goo Lagoon from Spongebob is canonically a brine pool

It is hours and hours of the most powerful non-fiction hallucinogens you can possibly take but also it is very calming and relaxed often with a friendly science narrator.
In a way I guess it is like going on a field trip with Mrs. Frizzle but from the slightly horrifying perspective of actually being on the field trip.
The deep sea dropped so much acid it just got stuck down there, and at this point nobody fucks around down in that neighborhood when it comes to being as absolutely fucking weird as possible.
Scifi movies don’t have shit on the actual real deep sea.

Wouldn’t the bottom of the ocean NOT be water?

David Byrne was actually the first person to discover this during a Once in a Lifetime opportunity

Would it really be the bottom if there was just more water
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
It was a race to the bottom

Water and billionaire corpses

A submersible with dead billionaires.

I’m not sure those still fit the description
luciole@beehaw.org 4 weeks ago
Bits of submersible with dead billionaires? Sand formed by the sudden and thorough crushing of a submersible with dead billionaires? The Logitech F710 aught to be mentioned as well. Of all the things cheap game controllers have endured, utterly destroyed by deep sea pressure is one.

Also the majority of it has been recovered and brought back up. The hull and billionaire bits are back on shore somewhere.

A small lump of metal, glass, bone and maybe a little goopie bits if they got trapped does not elicit the same mental image.
