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.

That's not a boat, that's a fishing bobber with extra steps.

A boat that violently rolls and needs to be sealed up in a storm.
It'll be half-full of puke at the end.

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.

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

That looks like a design of those narco u-boats

it will just be like a great fairground ride

Ok, if you say so Mr. Bones.

100cm?

No human would say that. Any real person would say 1m.

Or if you're a human USian, something like 1/2 fridge or 6 big gulps

or, if you're a redditor, 3 bananas.

100cm is a Baker's yard.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago

Yeah that's clearly 1 000mm!

Joke aside: I use mm in woodworking as a main unit because it's my margin of error (±1mm). In this case cm makes sense for me

Half a bald eagle wingspan.

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Nah that's clearly a pair of franks and some change.

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

This is ridiculous

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub 18 points 22 hours ago

lol, practical boat owner my ass

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 18 points 22 hours ago

Well. That's a hobby that exists apparently.

More of these, less megayachts.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

It would start flying as I suffocate from my own farts trapped in this thing. Best way to die immo.

I assume they will be adding a bee hive too.
