I mean to be fair, do you know how hard it is to get an oil tanker to constructively interfere with itself?

[-] iocase@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago

It is only statistically improbable

With enough speed, both will not be oil tankers anymore after they collide. Unfortunately it may need more speed that they can achieve by themselves, we may need some kind of "oil tanker accelerator"

We're safe as long as no waves hit them. Or particles, for that matter.

If we have a pair of aluminum straits and fire tankers at them, without observation you'll find that the tankers will both get tolled on the left strait AND get stuck halfway through the right strait, preventing any other tankers from getting through.

Really? I thought Saddam was arrested and put on trial and hanged (could be hung idk)

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Osama Bin Laden was killed on sight in a well protected fortress, surrounded by lots of guards in Pakistan. Saddam Hussein was arrested trying to hide in a small bunker under a pile of rubble like the famous diagram shows.

[-] Cattail@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, but I thought in a report that Osama was stuck in a coffin sized bunker

After which he went to hell and began a sexual relationship with Satan.

Long story short, he eventually got sent to heaven to be tortured by Mormons.

He might have been hung but he was definitely hanged, I saw the video. Surprisingly loud.
