Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

90 days forced to remain sitting or standing, wearing a dry suit that will reek of rancid BO, dirty butt and farts before the end of day one, unable to lay down to sleep. Unable to even have a shit if the sea state is too high and you can't open the hatch without flooding the boat for a few days.

Fuck. That.

When I take commercial flights across over an ocean, being stuck in one seat, unable to recline, dry lips and lousy food and uncomfortable bathrooms, for 8 - 12 hours, I hate life and have to find ways to disassociate my mind from how miserable the experience is and every time I swear I will either never go again or pay extra for first class.

I cannot possibly imagine sitting upright in a half-sunken big-gulp bobbing in the water for three fucking months.

But hey, no crying baby. The only cries you hear are your own.

This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.

Bro is larping the experience that many unfortunate Africans had some centuries back. For fun.

I wonder how hard it would be to explain that to one those people, if you had some sort of magical telephone to history.

Just explaining things to ppl from the 90's would be pretty hard
