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

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

This has been a very educational meme trend.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Surely that’d be Osama Bin Laden in this case

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

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.

only at the bottom

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.

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

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

Totally got me too

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

FACT:99% of submersible journeys end just before they find Saddam Hussein

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Apparently Everest is 157 miles tall?

Something's fishy about their conversions to feet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I can almost read the names

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

doesn't have the depth the titan sub imploded

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Seems like shrimp wouldn’t live that far down.
