No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?

Sadly no. It probably had a leak and everyone was instantly crashed like a pop can…

Strange question... did you post it in 'no stupid questions' for a specific reason?

  • If they're found in time, they'll be rescued.

  • If not, and they don't surface, they won't.

  • It's been stated that there's a very high chance that they won't be found.

  • It's also been stated that they had drop-weights, so it seems they didn't drop those, or they got trapped - which means they'd be much harder to find as they aren't out in the open.

  • There's also a good chance they imploded already - which is an alternative explanation for them failing to drop weights and start to surface.

  • When will the movie come out?

I think they discovered the crush depth of their sub was a little shallower than they thought it would be, and are all already dead. The search team says they heard a banging sound, but they’re next to a huge old wreck full of old garbage that is a probably the source of a lot of banging sounds.

At this point, I'd be surprised if they were ever found. Assuming the sub is still intact and not wondering aimlessly, the sheer size of the search area makes it difficult to find the sub.

They are lost. Even if they found them alive, they can't transfer them off the vehicle. they are even bolted in. the shell is made from 5 inch thick spun titanium carbon fiber with a bonded ring and a metal cap on each end. the pressure vessel most probably shattered then everything got squished.

edit for spelling

Short answer: no

Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOO

Folks, the Titan submersible is a capsule that travelers are sealed into ** from the outside.** The passengers could be adrift on the surface, the air could run out, and they could theoretically suffocate on the surface. It's locked with bolts from the outside. Yeah, the 96 hours of oxygen could be stretched if the passengers conserved their oxygen. That is, if they are not a part of the debris field that was located near the Titanic. Each passing minute now is increasingly likely to change this from rescue to recovery.

Calling it Titan and having it going to the Titanic is quite a coincidence, especially as both seem to be ending tragically. Calling the Company OceanGate (with the -gate suffix being tied to scandals like Gamergate, Contragate, Pizzagate, Partygate, Chinagate, Deflategate, Watergate, etc.) is quite a coincidence too. That little conspiracy theorist inside my head wonders if they aren't somehow related, like a group suicide pack wanting to be remembered for being brave or something. It's probably just two weird coincidences, but boy howdy is this weird.

Best thing they can do is for most of them to go to sleep and conserve oxygen. Good luck sleeping while afraid for your life though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They forgot to charge the pad and didn’t bring the USB cable, so no. They’re doomed, unfortunately.

I don't think it's looking good. If they're at depth, I don't even know how they would be rescued

Being realistic, they're probably gonna all be dead, and may never be found

They're out of air by now. They ded.

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

My guess is money will save them. I'm only slightly joking

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

Nope sadly a 250k coffin

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

I think there's a chance they succumbed to hypothermia long before they ran out of oxygen.

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

Negative. I don’t think we’ll even find wreckage, and if we do, reaching it will be difficult and expensive.

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

unlikely. sub rescues are hardly successful. Their sub could have imploded, fast way to die. Had a power failure wich would takes days to die either from a lack of o2 or possibly the cold. Or it reached the surface and they got to look out at thet ocean until about noon their time tomorrow unable to open the hatch and slowly die from a lack of air.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do you mean imploding? Because if they didn’t implode, being stuck in a sub for days, slowly waiting to suffocate, ist fucking horrible.
