It's like Where's Waldo. I'm a fan.

On my phone, the bottom was just cut off. I searched for way too long before realizing that.

Are you sure you're looking deep enough?

The scale is very misleading. 0-200m is the same as 200-1000 and 1000-2000m is like 1/8 of 0-1000m.

Doesn't really capture the insane depths of the Mariana Trench. This website visualizes it better. Albeit without the Saddam lying at the bottom.

Yeah sadam is no where near as wide as mount everest on his worse day

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Like most dictators, his ego has to be accounted for as well.

Kids after three minutes on TikTok

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 39 points 1 month ago

This has been a very educational meme trend.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

Me, oblivious: this would be a good graphic to insert Saddam Hussein

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Surely that’d be Osama Bin Laden in this case

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was hiding in a house with VHS porn tapes and an Xbox or something.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

Though after they killed him, they buried his body at sea at an undisclosed location, to prevent it becoming a shrine.

I want to get some Saddam Hussein stickers and just stick them on to random information boards etc.

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

only at the bottom

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Saddam has some incredible crush resistance, we should start making entire submarines out of whatever material that is.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

Dictaturanium

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I fucking knew it. Didn’t look at the community the post is in and halfway down I realized he’d be down there somewhere.

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 7 points 1 month ago

I made it all the way down, it was completely unexpected. Made me chuckle

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Informative and like the other poster said, it's a "Where's Saddam?" quest lmao.

Totally got me too

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

This time, my eyes shot straight to the bottom. I've been trained.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Apparently Everest is 157 miles tall?

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Something's fishy about their conversions to feet.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

The leading 8 of the Everest height in ft is extra. (Or whatever that symbol is, it looks like an 8)

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I can almost read the names

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Seems like shrimp wouldn’t live that far down.
