People REALLY Wanted To Live Underwater 

Meh

Legitimate question: Has there ever been a show or film with an underwater laboratory, military base, or hotel that wasn't destroyed by the end?

despite what youtube might tell you i did humor you, and did not skip the ad. i swear on my exhausted vape collection.

Can I do war underwater?

​@@michaeltnk1135they added submarines as an event a few weeks back, but If you want a underwater experience then games like stormworks are better for that

Sealab 2021

Rapture TECHNICALLY wasn't destroyed. The society fell but the city still stands (mostly) intact.

… The Little Mermaid?

​@emeraldfinder5 Those are all mermaids and other sea creatures living in natural coral reefs, doesn't count lol

amazing joke response, but also legit, the original Sealab 2020 absolutely fits the bill

There have been 70 underwater labs since 1965

@@Hamdad Yes but none of them have been destroyed by Captain Murphy.

Honestly, them keeping Northern Ireland just seems petty to me. But then again I’m American we have a territory on like every country so long as it allows gay marriage (so I guess we’re worse lol) 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@sethgaston8347 the British are very petty. They still hold on to little islands literally thousands of miles away from the mainland just to maintain as much land as possible.

Yes

I'm pretty sure you can buy equipment and dna material now, you just need to want to do it. Some credentials probably help.

I fundamentally disagree. There is a reason we know so much more about other planets than our own oceans. It is literally easier to shoot a rocket into Space and have it safely land a robot than it is to send something underwater and not have it get crushed by the pressure

@@davidnotonstinnett Yes pressure at extreme depths is a problem. However building, energizing and supplying the necessities of life in pods at shallower ocean or lake depths is immeasurably easier and more practical than in colonies on Mars. The same goes for Antarctica, the Sahara desert and the rest of the planet. Even ignoring the difficulty of travelling to Mars, it has poison air and soil, too low gravity and air pressure, not to mention deadly radiation which would require living underground. Also it has no readily-available sources of food, air and water which are abundant on earth.

​@@davidnotonstinnett Mars landings are notoriously difficult to pull off.

​​@@AAhmouyou cant even go there for the better part of two years

@@blattimus We go to mars and do the other things not because it is easy but because we're batshit insane.

Unfortunately the Earth's biosphere really can't sustain anything that big. The only reason baleen whales are that big is because they're filter feeders which is the most afk thing an animal could do, and they still don't get to the temperament of the leviathans ​@@silkdust8069

Oh, you can talk to dolphins. The just won't understand what you're saying.

Sealab was based on a real Navy program of the same name. Two habitats bearing that name were built and used in the 1970s.

@@Hamdad For real, and then there was a cartoon from the 70s about that, at least in idea, and then Adult Swim picked that up in the early 00s and made an animated masterpiece. I don't really miss my childhood, but I do miss watching new episodes of that show, and the Captain.

And trade routes, because being the first guy who found the funny spices would make you really rich.

Okay but that's because of Andrew Ryan's dog ass philosophy allowing people to easily exploit its citizens. The fact that his city was surviving that long without repairs is impressive.

You're right, cities cannot survive under water AND capitalism.

The city itself was perfect in terms of reliability and design etc etc. The populace and politics eventually became disastrous though

Hey it was going okay until the war start

Just dont let the sea people read ayn rand

Well, unless youre going up and down alot, you wont get the bends. If your average range is between 30 and 60 feet below, you shouldn't really get the bends. If you live in any range within 30 feet, it wont ever be a problem. And it only takes a few minutes ever 30 feet or so to prevent that from being a problem

@Robb1977 they were deep enough that if the electricity failed they were in pitch black and near sub-zero Fahrenheit temperatures, not conditions a no-bends depth gets outside the artic circle, and the were specifically not in the arctic circle.

@steel8231 depth isnt the cause of the bends, rapid changes in depth are.

@Robb1977 Almost every single character ascends from 100+ meters under water to the surface in under a minute at one point or another, and pressure changes are never mentioned beyond popping ears.

@steel8231 oh yeah! Thats bends territory right there! with proper decompression you wouldnt pop ears... you absolutely would get the bends.

Question being do they mean to keep Northern Ireland or abandon it alongside the isle

1 man is not the British.

Yes.

Actually, Busted did the song first, though when it comes to the Jonas cover version not much has changed but....

At least your great-great-great-granddaughter is doing fine

Stop being an idiot. Yes, the area known today as the Sahara did in fact once contain areas of habitable land due to the climate there being much wetter, ancient peoples lived there, some of whom eventually went on to give birth to the Ancient Egyptians, there were vast lakes and rivers, grasslands etc. I believe that came to an end around 12k years ago or thereabouts due to localised climate change (it dried up and because inhospitable desert) The 'Eye of the Sahara' was not Atlantis, it's just a geologic structure well understood by science and people who can read.

That theory makes no sense with the added content that Atlantis was almost certainly fictional. Graham Hancock sucks and so does every single one of his dibshit theories I have seen or heard.

Egypt has plans to full on make an inland sea is the sahara

As cool as it would be if Atlantis was real, I really hope the Eye of the Sahara wasn't Atlantis, because the We Wuz crowd is going to get even more obnoxious. We've already had woke historical revisionists seriously try to claim that Stonehenge was built by black people.

​@@quinnroberts3158Do hoteps actually have any public presence or recognition, it seems pretty firmly in the realm of crazy at least from my perspective personally but I'm not American so idk.

Tell the whales! We learned our heresy from them! ...and the seals/sea lions. I think they might have done it independently? Do sea otters count? They CAN function on land but don't HAVE to, if the ocean part is the mandatory one and the land is optional then I guess it counts? ...and all the sea snakes and such. I know even less about aquatic reptiles than I do mammals... Well I guess there's a lot of land tetrapods that went back in the water at some point, now that I think of it. We're greedy like that, want to have it both ways! Every couple million years, some whippersnapper decides it's "hip" and "retro" to jump back in the ocean and develop flippers and echolocation or something.

Yeah honestly space is kind of pointless went you think of it beyond the sun and moon. Like if we made it to Mars, what does that actually mean for anyone living on earth. The moon effects tidal waves and sun gives light and heat, but mars is practically just a red dot that we can see in the sky sometimes. The ocean has millions of lifeforms we are still discovering, yet everyone wants to live on space hotel in mars. An underwater hotel is a much interesting idea to me, then living on a cold red rock.

You wanna try terraforming a harsh, unlivable climate for agriculture and living space? Why not start with the fucking deserts and work out way up from there lol

I think there's some understandable worries about, you know, breaking our 'living on' planet (that is, worse than we already have with regular greed) by experimenting with geoengineering stuff @@rowanlau1651 , as well as the geopolitical issues where everything screws _somebody_ over in the process of making things better for others and our general inability to behave like adults and equitably distribute resources/compensate those harmed, but I agree that trying to jump straight to permanent habitation on other bodies (aside from enclosed habitats on Luna and/or an Earth-captured asteroid, as a shipyard/mining base primarily) is... premature. We need to learn to make and maintain artificial environments to our standards in rotating space habitats AND learn the basics of terraforming/environmental engineering-and-management fixing the problems we've already caused (global warming most notably) before making any of the planets even remotely livable is on the table. And once we've managed both keeping Earth in good shape and can build cylinder habitats to live in comfortably anywhere we go, why do we even need the other planet surfaces? Notably, the best terraforming candidate in our solar system is _Venus,_ and Venus is a terrible nightmare! It's just that, if you were to eclipse it from the sun, wait enough centuries for the atmosphere to freeze, then dig it up and remove it (or somehow otherwise get rid of most of it, selectively keeping the fraction we want) before adjusting the eclipsing to give it the appropriate lighting, it could be made fairly Earthlike. Mars is less hellish currently, but not really as easily... fixable? Minimal atmosphere and low-ish gravity (the best we're going to get around here other than Venus, unfortunately) mean it'll never be much more than an unbreathable, radiation-blasted tundra/desert without not only vast investment and constant maintenance in the atmosphere but an artificial magnetosphere satellite network, and we'd still need to be sure Mars gravity is enough for the long haul (So far all we know is that humans need SOME amount of real or simulated gravity for long-term health, but not how much is enough. Is Luna enough? Mars? We don't know!).

I'm pretty sure you're getting you're getting your wish for Antartica and Greenland. Theres already looking to be a huge mining rush on greenland as more and more of its permafrost melts. Just gotta keep on raising that global thermostat for a few more decades lol. Anyways, the reason why there's been no serious push into deep sea infrastructure is because it's waaaaaayyyyy more difficult to live down there than in a vacuum. The deep ocean is just basicslly as bad as Mars when it comes to habitability barring radiation exposure. There's no air to breathe, extremely little food (deep sea life is extremely spread out, most of the ocean floor is vacant desert), no potable water (desalinating while being under the sea is actually extremely fucking hard to do safely and efficiently), has no sunlight and is extremely cold, and to top it off the immense water pressure makes designing long term structures next to impossible. While of course you don't have to shoot things millions of miles across space to send resources for an underwater colony, there's just no point to trying to live down there beyond the gimmick of doing so. Even deep sea mining is easier to do with from the surface, making mining colonies on the ocean floor pointless.

​@@john-michaelcollier4409 A few more decades eh? Quite optimistic

You got normal gravity to not make your muscles, bones, and circulatory go to hell. And all it takes is an air tight metal box that can slowly release its interior air pressure to return back to the surface world where someone can just pick you up with a boat or helicopter.

pretty sure Egypt has plans to do so

Google the salton sea to find out why you shouldn't touch this idea with a ten foot pole

And Bioshock.

The Mediterranean one sounds right. I forget what the novel was called but im pretty sure it exists.

@@deadturret4049 It's called _The Atlantropa Articles._ It was written by Cody Franklin, who does Alternatehistoryhub. I believe he's Tyler's brother.

@@deadturret4049 _The Atlantropa Articles_ by Cody Franklin of Alternate History Hub. Tyler's brother.

No? He said that 20k league was 1/2 of the way to the moon, which is wider than the earth and that Verne's nautilus could dive 10 miles. If I remember correctly, it did that in the south Atlantic which, according to Verne, is deeper than that and the deepest spot in the ocean.
