CHOAM Nomsky 💭: if you took every billionaire on earth and stacked them on top of each other starting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that would be great

if you took every billionaire on earth and stacked them on top of each other starting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that would be great

there, now it’s imported to the better site

Fun fact: there are around 2500 billionaires on Earth. If we assume each billionaire is 6 feet tall on average, and if we assume each billionaire stands directly on the head of the one below, the top billionaire would be less than halfway back to the surface

I’m liking this so far.

Of course there's only one way to know this for certain.

But wouldn't the extreme pressure at the bottom of the trench give them the Dreaded Shrinks - like what happened to the Twits - so you'd need more? Maybe you'd have to stack fascists on top of them to make up the difference?

To my knowledge humans are mostly water, so they don’t compress much even in the deep ocean. So we should be good. We can still throw fascists in just on principle

Wouldn't their cement shoes give them added height?

I assumed they would be laid horizontally and stacked that way. On the one hand the top of the stack would be further down the Trench, on the other hand the stack might be less likely to tip over, on the gripping hand who cares they would still all be on the bottom of the ocean where they belong.

This could help me overcome my fear of the Mariana Trench

I'm wondering how much a fear of the Mariana Trench would affect your daily life, and also how you discovered such a fear in the first place?

Well, it all started with curiosity. I read about it and have been scared of its depth since. It's like if you think about the vastness of space for too long. Also, I'm insane.

This is going to give me an anxiety attack. Just like the Mariana Trench does.

I was in a submarine that plonked next to a trench in Grand Cayman and it was as terrifying as you imagine- unfathomable black murky abyss. Really hard for my brain not to believe we wouldn’t fall in but of course it’s water not air and we were in a submarine.

SEE! THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.

I have a primal nightmare fear of deep dark water that goes back to childhood swimming lessons, which were…[Gary Oldman as Old Dracula voice] not entirely successful. I did a painting of it once that I liked: deep black with a faint whirlpool, irregular ripples of dark blue and hints of gray.

i also do not like to think about the huge empty spaces

For me it was seeing pictures like of that boat floating above the very deep round thing, and my brain doing a full-body Nope.

I've wondered about this. I have always isolated, and enjoy being in the middle of Nature in places I might be the only person for miles. How would I feel being cut of from all things Human? Can I have all the books/music/TV/YouTube? I might be OK.

It sounds like more of an existential fear. Not fear of something that could happen, but fear of the idea of an inescapable void.

We don't have to go that far. Just stack 'em in a rickety sub and send it to the Titanic.

LOL. They're perfectly OK after the implosion.

If they float, they're witches. If they don't, they go straight to heaven. The rules, I'm not making them.

If we do it enough times, maybe one of these days we won't need signs like these:

What about just the roundish orbs on their shoulders?

I expect you would see a lot of fake billionaires anxious to tell the truth.

This would do wonders for morale.

Time to get in the sub, guys.

That's pre-WW1 anarchist spirit. See what happened to empress Sisi of Austria, Umberto 1 of Italy, George 1 of Greece, and the famous Franz Ferdinand. Maybe billionaires are the new royals, and new wave of anarchism will arise.

Recent events have shown that they would even enthusiastically volunteer for this, if you let them see the Titanic as part of it

It would also not take all that long. Like, we could get this done by next, I dunno, Thursday?

That would be a start. Big trench.

I'm sure there are some pods of orcas who would be happy to help...

looking into this

You could compete with the pile at the Titanic?

#MakeBillionairesExtinct

The very ironically named Mariana Depression.

Let's divide the assets fairly among ourselves.

It would be a good start b

Laughing too hard at this.

All that tomato sauce, wasted.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning. 😂

Free flights on Space X should thin them out quick smart

You'd need some heavy weights to compensate for three buoyancy of certain billionaires (Elmo).

Id be happy to send them all on a cruise down there on the Titan 2.

What's the sea done to deserve that much more poison?
