Why do I apparently have the entire theme song still in my brain meats? I only thought the show was ok during its original Adult Swim run, and it wasn't even a brain wormie theme. I apparently need to go back and watch it again to see what's up.

I am probably a minority, but I think it's the funniest of the early Adult Swim originals.

Well I am going to put it to the test and see if it's available anywhere to binge watch. I remember it being perfectly fine and enjoyable, but never one I was intentionally waiting to watch. Time to find out if it holds up or even gets better with age.

The feng shui episode was the best one.

And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.

"So we found these slugs that produce magic stem cells..."

Add in "But harvesting it angered the psychic primordial shark that we worship as a god." And you've got the rough plot for the water planet from Kotor 1.

A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.

Subnautica vibes.

This is for the oil and gas industry.

Ain't nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.

Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.

Titan II: Back for more billionaires

[–] [email protected] 221 points 3 days ago (17 children)

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

high pressures are scary as shit.

apart from that, there's no sunlight down there. it's basically like living in antarctica.

I've been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so... Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?

Because of its narcotic effect at high pressure, nitrogen shouldn’t be breathed by humans at depths below about 60 meters. So, at 200 meters, the breathing mix in the habitat will be 2 percent oxygen and 98 percent helium. But because of its very high thermal conductivity, “we need to heat helium to 31–32 °C to get a normal 21–22 °C internal temperature environment,”

One step closer to SOMA

Ocean horizons 2.0 I hope.

Elon is probably the only superhero who could actually go there an show them all! Definitely not just any rich guy could do it.

What happened to biodomes? Did the Pauly Shore movie ruin the concept?

We never got them working properly here on earth, which isn't great news for a self sustainable moon or Mars colony.

Well, it's just scientists, so Sealab 2021.

Eventually, the techbros will make a cheaper version and add the pod to the end though.

Ocean is tough. Tougher than floating cities. Which are more realistic as real habitable environment.

I vote for Stanford torus stations in various L points.

Or, naturally, Mars.

Before that, of course, there are plenty of locations on Earth hard to live in, but not as hard as underwater domes. They should try that.
