Sailing oil tankers let's gooo
I remember seeing a YouTube short about a right winger reading the news story and laughing that the libtards just discovered sailing ships, and the comments all full of people saying like "can't teach stupid" and stuff like that. But that has nothing it do with it? Like why criticize people for using previous, useful, technologies that have gone unused in the past??? Like the article wasn't even touting this as a new invention, which it technically is because it's not just as simple as putting sails on a boat, but their only argument was that it's mid evil tech and the left is stupid for using it. So frustrating.
Didn't they trial putting huge kites on tankers years ago? Is that still a thing?
"Hm... Is this help coming or the Flying Dutchman?"
That’s kinda sick ngl
That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
Ah, but you have seen of him.
It can take awhile to be in earshot. That's a lot of time to ponder how sane you're feeling.
This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?

RIP Stefán Karl Stefánsson. He was a real one
Indeed!
