Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

90 days forced to remain sitting or standing, wearing a dry suit that will reek of rancid BO, dirty butt and farts before the end of day one, unable to lay down to sleep. Unable to even have a shit if the sea state is too high and you can't open the hatch without flooding the boat for a few days.

Fuck. That.

This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.

Bro is larping the experience that many unfortunate Africans had some centuries back. For fun.

I wonder how hard it would be to explain that to one those people, if you had some sort of magical telephone to history.

Just explaining things to ppl from the 90's would be pretty hard

100cm?

No human would say that. Any real person would say 1m.

Or if you're a human USian, something like 1/2 fridge or 6 big gulps

Nah that's clearly a pair of franks and some change.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's clearly 1 000mm!

Joke aside: I use mm in woodworking as a main unit because it's my margin of error (±1mm). In this case cm makes sense for me

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

100cm is a Baker's yard.

Half a bald eagle wingspan.

or, if you're a redditor, 3 bananas.

lol, practical boat owner my ass

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

Well. That's a hobby that exists apparently.

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

More of these, less megayachts.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is like being stuck in a porta-potty for 3 months. Sure, less megayachts, but we need these only slightly more than people climbing Everest.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 7 points 3 weeks ago

it will just be like a great fairground ride

Ok, if you say so Mr. Bones.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

This is ridiculous

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

That's not a boat, that's a fishing bobber with extra steps.

[–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

A boat that violently rolls and needs to be sealed up in a storm.
It'll be half-full of puke at the end.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

That looks like a design of those narco u-boats

I assume they will be adding a bee hive too.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 weeks ago

Whoah small?!?

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

It would start flying as I suffocate from my own farts trapped in this thing. Best way to die immo.
