This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I can't believe they were piloting this submarine with a cheap controller
I about lost my goddamn mind seeing that. Like... You built a submersible out of whatever the fuck you had laying around in your like four garages; at that point, you are fucking around with Poseidon. ...I get the distinct sense this dude and his billionaire buddies are in the depths of the process of 'finding out' just how wrathful He is.
Tbf, theoretically the carbon tube body should be stable up until 4km deep. Problem is:
In addition: If anything goes wrong with it, it's too late once you notice. Carbon tube shit shatters, it doesn't have the courtessy of cracking first to warn you.
I believe I also saw that they were using glass graded for 1300m max for the viewport. ...for a 4000m dive.
Even if the oxygen supply wasn't an issue, I can't imagine that the thing hasn't shattered by now. I swear, this was all an elaborate ploy to get rid of rich people, because nobody would actually put together a vessel so unsuited for the task.
Rich people's narcissism is often their own undoing. People who have very few setbacks in life, forget all about the concepts of danger and disaster. That's my theory at least.
