A disproportionate number of the space-race era astronauts came from Ohio. Something about that place just makes people want to risk everything to go somewhere else, I guess.

steering-device please die please die please die, it would be very funny

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it was kinda already a farce last time

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

The tragedy was the Titanic sinking in 1912 and the farce was the Titan imploding last year

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

first as a comedy second as a comedy and we'll wait for the trifecta inshalla h

dont worry nerds instead of this one steering-device i heard they will be using a switch controler this time

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

playing subnautica on my switch and getting joycon drifted into a reaper leviathan

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

They better remember to put the wrist strap attachment thing on, otherwise the next hull breach might be caused by a flying joycon.

There was that teenager on board though who while probably set to grow up to be a piece of shit billionaire was still just a kid and also didn't want to be there :/

Wasn’t the industry already safe prior to the implosion? Didn’t James Cameron go down to the titanic wreck like 50 times before cellphones existed?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the thing is that J. Cameron used an actual research sub instead of a self made comercial submersible piloted by a longitech controler steering-device

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

infinite submarine on the billionaire world

Going please-save-me as my vanity project sub suddenly stops moving and starts to slowly sink at 30,000 leagues below sea level while I look through the windows at the wreckage of the last sub I sent down here

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Pooping one last time in the submarine bucket in the corner

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

pilot it with a doohickey

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alas it's a real sub this time and not a piece of PVC piping with some weights attached.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Orca JDPON has the chance to do something really funny. sicko-orca

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

I read on Reddit about a fucking horrific diving accident that occurred where four fucking people in Trinidad got sucked into a fucking oil pipeline. I guess one managed to crawl out and be rescued but the others were in there for days waiting for help that never came. That wasn't coming. They decided not to save these poor people. While the oceangate sub got all this media circus bullshit

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was a farce on both counts

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

first as farce then as bigger funnier farce

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Blood sacrifice for the Deep God. They are being summoned.
