I used to ask my dad where we were on car trips.

"Directly above the center of the earth." Thanks asshole.

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.

I don't know where his ship is, but the man had great taste in blended Scotch! If you run across a bottle of Shackleton in your local liqueur store, buy it.

Top left corner is the Weddell Sea so we know it’s somewhere in that direction

everybody know "top-left" means north-west ! just say that !

I’m good with it. Keep it somewhat hidden. Once the position gets out, every asshat with a scuba tank and calls themselves “an explorer” will ruin the place.

asshat with a scuba tank

3000 meters beneath the Weddell Sea

Good luck

Someone will try it don’t worry.

That or some billionaire will send private subs down to it.

From what I’ve read, billionaires need more private sub trips

It's like a basic reading comprehension thing....

The ship is located in the Weddell Sea, which is north of Antarctica.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago

they're saying everywhere outside Antarctica is north of Antarctica, so that doesn't add anything. it's deliberately obtuse for humorous effect. basic joke comprehension should be a thing.

Here I’ll help, it’s also south of the North Pole.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

And west of the equator.

I appreciate the "perhaps", like, the headline qualifies how annoyed they are at imprecision.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I can specify: south of the arctic.
