I was going to ask where's Facebook's CEO, but we all know Data can walk the ocean floor and take no damage.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've just heard that he's signed up to a cage fight with Elon. Gonna be fun seeing Elon's disjointed wrist after he punches through thin air

[–] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Elon just gets triggered by water rescues / submarines and needed some attention.

Remember when he called that hero thai navy diver guy a pedo because he said elon's sub wasn't useful in rescuing those kids trapped in a cave? Apparently rich people and submarine pissing contents is a thing.

Under no circumstances will precious elon actually risk getting punched in the head, more's the pity.

They're going to be both in fully padded, bubblewrapped crashproof outfits with at least three lawyers in each corner and fall away caging that disintegrates when you blow on it.

[–] AlolanYoda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

3 lawyers on each corner might not be a bad thing, they're never going to take the other down in a cage match of all things, but if their lawyers get involved they're going to waste away their time and money on this conflict instead of making life harder for us!

I've heard Zuck use contractions.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

While I did enjoy this meme, that's not going to solve the problem. They would be replaced pretty quickly with people who are equally as dubious. That's just the system we live in.

[–] ondoyant@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

it wouldn't hurt tho.

[–] beerEnjoyer@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

The world needs rays of sunshine sometimes though.

[–] Skylake08@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah and I bet they're already cooking up the best replacement and the transition may happen in the near future.

[–] LordBinz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago

Indeed. My only regret about this whole dying-in-a-submarine-from-hubris deal is that Elongated Muskrat wasnt also a passenger. Bezos is a douchebag too, but at least hes only being a capitalist exploiter and not an actual enabler of fascism.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Where spez?

EDIT: nevermind, I guess he's in Musk's crotch.

[–] PeefJerky@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Since the meme is about Titanic, just imagine Musk as Rose and Spez as Jack in the infamous plank scene. XD

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He ain’t no billionaire.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

He a wannabe tho

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He must start anywhere, Elon's crutch for instance.

[–] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 2 points 1 year ago

He's probably still butthurt about selling reddit for $10 millions or so back then.

[–] torafugu@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You missed someone.

Donald Trump.

[–] olpappy@mander.xyz 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair he's not a billionaire.

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We know the secrets he had are worth billions, just ask jared, and we know he sold us out. He's probably worth billions now.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

He does have the nuclear launch codes (/s?)

[–] sensibilidades@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

the meme was about billionaires though

[–] AllonzeeLV@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They missed the other 3,000 billionaires on Earth.

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah do it Elon! You can finally use your Genius rescue tube and show this ungrateful kids + the pedo diver what they missed!!!

I found an old trash can laying on the side of the highway so I went to hardware store and bought a $3 roll of duck tape. If anyone wants to drive my new experimental uncertified submarine to the Challenger Deep hmu.

[–] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You forgot to mention that it's only open for billionaires, spez, Trump and Putin, but that they'll be given a 100% discount.

C'mon, we can fit more than 2 billionaires in a sub.

[–] gnp@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The fediverse seems interested in seeing these people die. I understand these people suck a lot, but wishing death is pretty fucked up. Something I’d expect from Reddit.

[–] ondoyant@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

both these chucklefucks would kill you for a dollar. just sayin'.

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The hatred towards rich and succesful people is one of the harder to grasp concepts I've been dealing with in reddit. I don't get it. I do but I don't.

[–] Relected@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

its because elon didn't work for his money and success, he inherited it

also Jeff besoz is a massive hypocrite, and straight up evil

you learn enough about the victims of capital, you start to hate the people who own it. killing them wouldn't solve anything, but i'd still throw a party if they beefed it.

[–] leptirica@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say it's about how rich and successful they are, it's more that they benefit from a system that brutalizes so many. And they're not just participating in it, they're actively enabling it. Hell, i don't know about musk, but bezos had his part in shaping it.

where's spez?

[–] patomaloqueiro@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

The sub has room for three more

"I hear they're gonna be talking about it at Bilderberg this year. It would be a shame if you were left out."

I bet billionaires back off the space race

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Outside of re entry I bet space is a lot safer then 2 miles deep under the ocean... I really have no clue though

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

If you have a hull breach in space, supposedly you have up to a few minutes to fix it or put a suit on. 4000m below the surface, you have none.

Either one you could get trapped and suffocate, though, so I think I'm happy on land.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Tbf there are probably identical risks related to pressure, just that the pressure goes the other way.

[–] meldroc@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I just binged The Expanse... Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it's slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait... how long can you survive for in a vacuum, and still resemble your usual self if saved?

[–] quandoquando 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Not for very long, but not for the reasons countless sci-fi movies and shows have told you: you’ll neither explode nor freeze to death.

People think of vacuum as something massive, but it’s actually just 1 bar difference.

Atmospheric pressure is (roughly) 1 bar, which is comparable to 10 m of water. So getting put in a vacuum is like ascending from a 10 m dive.

You don’t implode at 10 m depth, and you also don’t swell up on Mount Everest, which is roughly at 0.3 bar.

The biggest threat to your life is the actual decompression.

If you’re abruptly thrown into the vacuum, and you don’t manage to exhale immediately, the air in your lungs will expand and rip your lungs. Which is one of the biggest dangers of diving.

But more likely is that it‘ll just rip the air out of your body, which probably isn’t good for either your lungs nor your intestines.

You won’t freeze to death, because there’s no medium to transport the energy away, so you’ll only lose heat through the actual radiation, which takes pretty long. Much longer than in cold water, anyway.

Also, your blood won’t boil, since it’s protected by the skin. Maybe the exposed areas, your eyes, your saliva.

So, if you survive the initial decompression, your chances aren’t that bad, after all.

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Wow thank you for the detailed reply I learned a few new things today!

I hope the billionaires all go to space so they can fuck up everyone's life in space instead of on Earth.

[–] prettydarknwild@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Davy Jones awaits them
