And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.
“So we found these slugs that produce magic stem cells…”
Add in “But harvesting it angered the psychic primordial shark that we worship as a god.” And you’ve got the rough plot for the water planet from Kotor 1.
Maybe the pact holds longer in those silos 😆
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.
“Unless that man is an actual laborer, haha, fuck those plebs”
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his chattel property’s brow?
I’m having mixed feelings. Are we going here or not? On one hand no censoring… On the other hand… No censoring. Also doom, but there’s also doom here too.
the whole point of the game was to illustrate how dumb libertarians are
Yes! Everytime anyone says anything about Libertarians I bring up Keene, NH. A Libertarian utopia that was so awesome, Black Bears joined the fun and took over the town.
Grafton, not Keene. Keene did have some free staters, but the cryptocurrency sovereign citizen pedophile kind.
Oh yeah! Grafton. Got those two mixed up lmao. They cut the towns taxes to zero and couldn’t pay the garbage pickup. That brought the bears who proceeded to rule the town.
Holy shit they made SCP-2875 a real thing
Perhaps. But I think I may have figured out their logic… no bears under water. So they won’t have to worry about bear attack while drowning from lack of maintenance
Giant squids are the bears of the ocean
Hell yeah they are. Them’s my boys.
Yeah, they wouldn’t need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, “No single drop thinks it’s to blame for the flood” very much.
i doubt they’d have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.
lots of leopards though
“Oxygen.”
Lubricant is required
If your looking for me
You better check under the sea
Cause that is where you’ll find me
Underneath the
Sealab, Underneath the water
Sealab, At the bottom of the sea.
About 4 years late, but whatever.
Why do I apparently have the entire theme song still in my brain meats? I only thought the show was ok during its original Adult Swim run, and it wasn’t even a brain wormie theme. I apparently need to go back and watch it again to see what’s up.
I am probably a minority, but I think it’s the funniest of the early Adult Swim originals.
Well I am going to put it to the test and see if it’s available anywhere to binge watch. I remember it being perfectly fine and enjoyable, but never one I was intentionally waiting to watch. Time to find out if it holds up or even gets better with age.
The feng shui episode was the best one.
The Feast of Alvis is my favorite.
The best show on Netflix
The jerks in Pod Six made you late, didn’t they?
Once again, your stupidity has killed us!
Billionaires first
Titan II: Back for more billionaires
“I dub thee Sir Phobos, Knight of Mars, beater of ass.”
Man why did I have to go so far down to find this one? Lol
Chopper Dave!
Mustache on or off?
Too bad
Eggers, sir
If you’re lookin for me,
You’d better check under the sea,
Cause that is where you’ll find me,
Underneath the seaaaaaa lab,
Underneath the water,
Seaaaaa lab…Bizzaro I love you bizzaro!
Vanguard is now under Martian Law!
Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?
Researchers are rarely rich, despite deserving it more than others.
Because of its narcotic effect at high pressure, nitrogen shouldn’t be breathed by humans at depths below about 60 meters. So, at 200 meters, the breathing mix in the habitat will be 2 percent oxygen and 98 percent helium. But because of its very high thermal conductivity, “we need to heat helium to 31–32 °C to get a normal 21–22 °C internal temperature environment,”
😮
So everyone is gonna sound like mice when they get crushed under the weight of the ocean?
Hmm… maybe not? The low density of helium at 1 atm is what causes the amplification of higher frequencies in the voicebox, but in a pressurized container the gas would be higher density so it might offset the effect… I think?
If the original SeaLab tests in the 60s were any indication, YES. Check out Scott Carpenter’s voice on this recording with LBJ. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3wkh6s
Love the horribly confused operator trying to fix problems with her equipment before putting the call through to the president.
Apparently when doing saturation diving like that you can’t even understand what the other person says, between the helium and the pressure the voice is too distorted to be intelligible.
You can communicate with a computer that transforms your voice to be intelligible but it is really not a pleasant conversation so you can stay there for weeks without having a conversation except for the bare minimum.
What they mean is they will need to use the amount of energy that you would normally put into air to get it to 31° C, but the helium will only get to 21° C. At no point will the helium actually be 31° C.
This is for the oil and gas industry.
Ain’t nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.
Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.
I’ve been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so… Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?
Watch our oceans die before your very eyes!
One step closer to SOMA
high pressures are scary as shit.
apart from that, there’s no sunlight down there. it’s basically like living in antarctica.
Good thing that doesn’t cause any pr-

Oh.
Will there be penguins?
Subnautica vibes.
A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.
My mate Paul…
Rudiger actually.
Ocean horizons 2.0 I hope.
Elon is probably the only superhero who could actually go there an show them all! Definitely not just any rich guy could do it.
