A new US startup company has announced a funding round for AI designed cargo submarines as a potential solution for the Iran Energy Crisis. The designs will be commissioned for construction via one of the 5 largest shipbuilding companies.

How long would it take to build a submarine, Michael? 5 days?

Also that's a 10 year old list, I wonder how many of the top 5 are Chinese now?

ngl idk why nobody's thought of just chucking the oil barrels in at the start and fishing them out with a big net at the end. Surely Iran can't bomb every oil barrel.

Just freeze the oil into a giant block and float it down the straight.

We need just about 10 billion people to pull this caper off.

And only 9.999 billion will die

How about drilling from the other side of the globe into the oil source? Then pump it and distribute it from there?
