I want to colonize the oceans... Why? Think of all the reasons this is a dumb idea. Those are the reasons we should do it.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

i think it's a great idea but you have to be able to tether to rocks and your craft needs to be extremely strong to not be either busted open, unhitched, or literally smashed against submerged rocks by the flux of pole shift grade ocean water movements

i'll stick to going to the highest plateaus and burrowing into rock and sealing that up... the ocean may wash over me but it's gonna be the shortest time it is covering the land due to me picking high altitude and far inland, and i will put compressed air cylinders in as part of my prepping in this refuge space... and actually, i just want to build underground anyway

but if you can think of a way to build something that can take the worst storm of history, multiplied by 1000, then be my guest

if you read the account of Noah in The Book of Jasher you may rethink it

that dude barely survived, whoever told him how to build it was a genius, i mean, so, it is possible to survive, but i'd argue that you also have to do this in a location where you know the flow is not going to smash your little vessel against the rocks before the big movements are over, whoever told Noah what to do had very advanced Science

Under the sea is much calmer.

Aaaand now I have the little mermaid song stuck in my head...

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

see, i'm too old to even have wasted my time watching that shit

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

I never watched it either. But my neighbor's little sister loved that movie, and as a kid we had to compete with her for that TV to play on the Sega Genesis or whatever it was at that particular moment

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

yeah i'm the next generation before you

my sega was the Master System 2

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

Never even heard of it

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

oshit it was the first one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_System

the master system 2 was more curvy like the Genesis

/500px-Sega-Master-System-Set.jpg

yeah, Genesis was called "megadrive" in australia

not long after was the Nintendo 64 IIRC

i was in my early 20s by that point

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

Dang... That thing looks like one of my diy projects 😅

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

yeah i never even had anything that used that compact slot in the front... it was also used for the LCD flicker glasses you could get for "3d" games - what that actually meant in practice was side scrolling parallax was more displaced when "closer" and less when "further" away, there was no actual 3d, in those days there was a few 3d games at all in the whole world, most of them were wireframe or super simple polygons with flat color shading.

the Amiga was the most advanced computer for gaming at that time and i had some 3d games, they were cartoony by modern standards, i always find it funny the whole "pixel graphics" and "lowpoly" game genres now, i'm like damn bro that was our life you fuckers

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

They don't go far enough with the pixel graphics games! There's always some kind of shading that wouldn't have been there 30 years ago

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

yeah, Kingdom Two Crowns has ridiculous tilted pixels and multiple pixel scales all over the place, it's hilarious

also Valheim uses pixelated textures everywhere, which is all fully 3d

i kinda get why they are doing it though, it lets them focus on the game mechanics and input interfaces more, visuals are very expensive, time consuming things to make, and the more detailed they are, the worse it gets

i have ideas about making pixel games for this reason but personally i'd probably rather do SVG based 2d games instead, and rather than pixels it's just simplified, linear shapes and bezier curves and simple shading descriptors, and simple stuff like blur and shadows

i think that would be fine, simple 2d vector graphics style would still be nice, and would be more honest, and actually require less fucking storage space in the app binaries

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

you are really not thinking about the situation where whole oceans are suffering from coriolus effect the likes of which even God doesn't see until 12000 years pass

i can picture that it might be fine in some areas in deep deep ocean but you can't just go there like it's a picnic

micahcmiracle 1y ago

Somewhere near a thermal vent. Gotta tap into an area of land, like an undersea volcano that rises to the surface. Heavy in earth piping for oxygen.

Not too deep. But deep enough. Pressure stabilizing containers.

Gotta set up undersea food production closer to the surface.

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

Easy - go deep. No rocks to smash. Make it a big vertical floating pile - like a buoy but big. Glacier strategy - more under than above. By being vertical, any size wave can come at it and it just bobs up and down. Contrast with a river barge - that flat surface can't handle any waves at all or it capsizes.

Noah's ark might not have been a boat. I'm not asserting anything - idk. But its interesting that the interior design was so similar to the interior of the temple in Jerusalem. One could say that any temple is an ark, since it should be a holy place set aside from the insanity of the world. And that insanity seems to flow in waves, so it could be likened to a flood. Just thoughts, not saying it didn't happen.

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

Oops, not glacier.... Ice berg!

i will add that, if you pick your seasteading location well it will probably work out fine

the current estimation of the likely pole shift will put the north pole in the gulf of mexico or somewhere in the carribean, so if you can visualise how the water will rush in the direction of the jerk, and then wash back, then you might be able to see how there is some places that there isn't a high chance you will end up dashed against the rocks

the rocks, that are most likely to dash you, you can find them by searching for an altitude map of the earth, and i can shortcut your search for the highest points by saying that the west of the rockies and the plateau of mongolia are the two highest, largest areas of land that possibly may not even see seawater wash over them

but if you figure on a 90` jolt, and you pick a position where your craft will first get thrown into deep water, and then come back and the altitude will not be high where it likely returns to, then good

this is precisely how Noah survived too

according to numerous different stories relating to this cataclysm (circa 12000 years ago) in some places you just had to hide in caves or be prepared to be able to get underwater for a few hours when the sun got really bright, so yeah, i don't think anyone has yet done good modelling on what is the likely path of rotation given the solid crust magnetism and the mobile core magnetism getting out of kilter, that's what causes it (the crust slips)

so, yeah

my guess is good locations for doing this are probably the middle of the pacific, some parts of southwest asia, possibly some parts of africa, though low altitude, may be good (i personally think the southern edge of the sahara in the middle might work out ok)

i'm pretty sure that more and more data will accumulate that makes it clear that if you want to do Noah style where to do it

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

Right now, I'm mostly interested in wherever I could do it with the least hassle from governments. To that end, the island states of the pacific are likely the best bet.

Where would the Aleutian island chain end up in a rotation wobble? If it gets warm, then getting a population out there could be a good strategic move.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

just think, roughly 90 degrees south, along the axis of the americas, that's the projection

there is a whole bunch of magnetic anomaly measurements that exist also, they put the new poles at around the same location for the north and somewhere mid pacific for the south, around south eastern china or so

probably would help to have a spherical world map to visualise it, or possibly you can find a planar projection that you can get it to orient in the intended direction, and then perform a smear blur over 90 degrees (so it would overlap half way up the other side) and then wrap it back on a globe and see what places don't get totally smeared out

unfortunately i am pretty sure it's nowhere, and certainly not convenient for contemporary geopolitics

i'm going with the high ground theory, and i'll be persuaded to mongolia if my preferred option of midwest doesn't pan out

Comte de Sats Germain 1y ago

I think I'd like Mongolia. I kind of imagine it as Texas but with Asians, and like China but without the human hive aspect. So, potentially, really nice.
