Round 2 🚢 - jlai.lu

I mean, they know what not to do after the last time right?
Yes, don’t cheap out on the life insurance
I heard carbon fiber is a good material.
I’ve never served on a sub, but I’ve seen videos, and “luxury” is probably the last thing that comes to mind in relation to submarines.

well yeah, military subs arent built for comfort. neither are military surface vessels.

you can make anything luxurious if you pump enough money into it.

And if you don’t have to pump it full of seamen.
I’d expected much more glass on this one too. If you’re underwater for fun you want to see shit!
I’m sure it will be a submarine* *maximum operational depth 2 meters from surface to cabin, and must have it’s conning tower, bridge, and snorkel completely exposed at all time
Good point. If any part of a vessel never fully submerges, can it be termed a submarine?

Not really, but it will be good enough to get some affluenza fuck to drop $2bil on it

according to their official page they do have it specced out for 4 weeks of fully submerged operation with a max depth of 250 meters. However, literally none of this is real as it’s just a concept model without real engineering or a prototype built, so the chances of it meeting such specs are whatever the fuck you feel like they are.

MIGALOO M5

MIGALOO M5 - 165 M PRIVATE SUBMERSIBLE SUPERYACHT

MIGALOO Submarines
For non military or explorative purposes there is absolutely no reason to go that deep. The “submarine experience” at 50m is the same as at 250m. And it smells terribly, because recycling sweaty air only goes that far.

The “submarine experience” at 50m is the same as at 250m

Calmly explaining this to my crewmates on the Titan

It can be submerged but it can’t cruise on batteries for 4 weeks. It’ll have to put it’s snorkel up.
Perfect. Now I can ignore the article.
Or, seeing as it’s billionaire bullshit, it will be an ecological disaster. What do you want to offer for the odds that it will have shit navigation, and throws out pings every 3 seconds if submerged? Goodbye local wildlife, recreational diving, and all other activities taking place underwater.

Getting a bit “Nautilus from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” vibes

Or Nautilus from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea vibes, even.

Except that Capt. Nemo was an anti imperialist king.

Can’t wait for the Migaloo 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Ahh yes, the super rich’s favorite scenery in their luxurious craft, pitch black.
Not pitch black until > 800m.
Every sinking vessel can be a submarine.
At least once
once or forever, depending on your perspective

Pleasepleaseplease put bazillions of dollar-equivalents into building this thing and then get it stuck in ice that later cuts into the hull and sinks it 🙏 I know the unfathomably wealthy will never do anything to make this world actually decent but they can at least let us have a decent laugh once in a while!

(I’m assuming the pollution left before it’s towed out of the environment will be less than the pollution from actually running the thing) (Also “towed out of the environment” is a funny reference. May need to look up “front fell off.” I am asleep.)

Depth charges aren’t that hard to make…
Any idea how ? Asking for a friend ofc.
You fill a barrel full of Ammonium-Nitrate fertilizer and put a 30-120 seconds delay fuze depending on expected depth. You start the fuze and drop it into the water. Voila Depth-Charge.
Their business strategy will be releasing another rendered picture every six months to bring in new investors and inevitably after few years they will ethier go bankrupt or become another yacht company that will call itself “yacht market disruptor” or “the most innovative yacht company”.
or they just the psyop to cover up a new class 9f military submarine being build, u cant hide a drydock from satelites but u can lie about what u building there
Welcome aboard Captain. All systems online
I want a sequel to that game now damn it.
There was a sequel of sorts, Subnautica: Below Zero. It feels pretty different, but it’s fun in its own right.

Yep. Played and beat it in less than a week. It was really fun and spooky.

Where’s a sequel at? Any games in development similar to it?

I think there is a sequel in the works. Supposed to be co op also!
Is that captain nemo?
Ah, yes, to get to their bunker undetected when the revolt begins.
Unironically, yes, that probably is what it’s for. I wouldn’t be surprised if Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg are excavating under sea cliffs in Lānaʻi as we speak.
New Zealand, there’s a billionaire commune there that’s been robbery criticized for bunker building and pay to stay passports.

There’s also a billionaire commune in South Dakota…

Vivos xPoint

Vivos xPoint The Worlds Largest Survival Bunker Complex | Vivos Survival Shelters and Bunkers

There is a one-time upfront payment of $55,000, plus an ongoing annual ground rent of $1,091 per bunker. Bunkers are provided in their as-is condition, without interior improvements, equipment or furnishings, ready for your outfitting.

How is this a “billionaire commune”, when the price is a fraction of a standard 2-bedroom house or even a motorhome, and pretty much everyone can move in?

Its a good thing that submarines don’t require any kind of routine docking and maintenance.
Will this one also be steered with a gaming controller?
No this one is PC based
Pretty hard to download these mandatory windows updates when youre uner 500m of water.
Don’t worry, those PCs are immune to freezing
Plus they’re using Linux.

I doubt they will be running Windows in a submarine

Might let all the water in.

Me, laughing at the luxury submarine because its integrated with PCs

Me, nervous about the luxury submarine because I just found out those PCs are running Linux.

I’d be more nervous if it was Windows tbh.

“Now downloading and installing windows 10 11 12 without your knowledge, concent, or acknowledgement”

Wasn’t there a mission in one of the Armored Core games where you sank shit like that?

We need mecha.

C’mon orcas, you know what to do
orphaned orca sadly straps on suicide vest

What’s the difference between a pod of orcas and a cell of orcas?

conviction.

The title of this article really confused me because I’ve never hard of this company before.

I thought ol’ mate migaloo (the albino Humpback whale) was swimming around fucking up super superyachts.

Meh, I’ve seen a few of these pop up and get articles written about them over the years. They usually disappear soon after. Probably just trying to scam money from Investors.
