This is probably worse than looking into the Eye of Sauron but I couldn't help doing it. I wonder how many days I can take...

😂 Admittedly there is indeed a small spacing in that subtitle, but I think an added comma would have been much more effective.

From the comments...
This was a monumentally dangerous act, to the point of being near suicidal. As a former sailor I can state with confidence that it is nothing less than a miracle that any of them survived. Forget their managing not to lose their balance or grip on the rudder. Even a moderately heavy sea would have easily swept all of them off to near certain death.
Four Nigerian stowaways hopped on a cargo ship not knowing where it was going, but hoping to find a place where they could claw out of poverty.
The four stowaways aboard a cargo ship had no idea where they were when they were met by federal police officers last month at a Brazilian port. Told they had landed in Brazil, they were stunned.
They had hopped on the ship while it was docked 3,500 miles away — in Lagos, the most populous city in the West African nation of Nigeria.
They didn’t know where it was going but didn’t care. They were jobless and desperate, they said, and wanted to go anywhere that might offer better prospects.
After rowing out to the vessel, the Ken Wave, they said they climbed into an unlikely space: the 6-foot by 6-foot opening containing the rudder.
Recounting their harrowing journey to The New York Times, they said they spent 14 days crossing the Atlantic Ocean, leaning on cold metal, terrified of falling into the churning waters just below their feet. Sometimes, they spotted sharks.
“We were so scared, we just kept on praying,” said one of the men, Roman Ebimene Friday.
On day nine, they said they ran out of food and water. “We licked toothpaste and drank seawater just to have strength,” Mr. Friday said in a telephone interview from a shelter in São Paulo, Brazil, where he was staying.
“When we informed them we were the federal police of Brazil, they made this face like, ‘Huh, we’re in Brazil?’” said Rogerio Lages, chief of the federal police’s maritime division in the state of Espírito Santo, where the cargo vessel docked...
I took the "for fun" stuff directly from trauma chief's tweet...

And Kardashian said this - emphasis mine...
It has really saved some of my friends lives
Everything she does is shameless self promotion even if it doesn't seem so superficially. She lives in a world of absolutely extreme wealth and she couldn't care less about the average person much less the poor. If she ever mentions the words "universal healthcare" - it's not because she grew a heart or a soul. It's because she's got some kind of scam going where she hopes to make millions. And - of course - she'll never go to jail. She might pay a fine though.
That's what happened to her crypto scam...

A few years from now there's this dialog at the salad bar of a family restaurant...
A Jarhead with a neck wider than his head: "I saw you get the veteran discount. Where did you serve, buddy?"
Scared - "I served."
"Where." It's a demand.
Shaky - "You know... In the war."
"What war."
"You know the one."
"No, I don't know 'the one'. Is this a case of stolen valor? What war."
"The N-Word War..."
I didn't read the article but I did scan it and I saw this...
Oil and gas companies lobbied for the direct air capture money to be included in the law, arguing that the world could continue to burn fossil fuels if it had a way to clean up their planet-warming pollution.
