If it works, it's not hybris, is it?

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

The OP is "just" reckless overconfidence. This is defiance against god.

I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could willingly boars one of those monstrosities

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

there is absolutely nothing i find appealing about going to a theme park that's been crammed onto a boat and being surrounded by rich tourists and screaming kids. and of course someone picks up some exotic flu strain on an excursion and now the entire ship is sick.

thanks, but i'll pass

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 13 hours ago

Not even just exotic. They're known for being germ vectors, in general.

Wtf why are you commenting in braille?

Broken ascii art, lazily made only using braille chars.

I’ve been invited on a few cruises.

I was in the navy, and immediately launch into a tirade about how top heavy and unsafe those things are.

“Well it’s never been a problem for us”

Okie dokie, I took statistics, so hard pass all the same :)

Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.

What is enjoyable about a floating, overcrowded shopping center that makes you seasick?

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

What's wrong with floating? The boats are huge. Unless it's rough seas, you don't know that you're on water.

All of the shipping centers are in lower floors dedicated to shopping. Don't want to buy anything? Just don't go to floor 7, it's that easy to avoid. If you get seasick, then maybe cruises aren't for you, but motion sickness medicine is available for those that do have the ailment. If pulled off the side of a catamaran in Hawaii, which is when I found out that I do get motion sickness. That's never been an issue in a cruise for me. Again, they are so large, it's like not being on a boat at all.

All of you arguments stem down to, "why would someone go on a trip that they don't want to go on?" The answer is, don't, but there are a ton of reasons that people do. I don't go to casinos and gamble, because they're dirty and I don't like gambling.

Trial what destinations exactly? Arrive at Island port. Hecklers everywhere. Arrive at next Island. More hecklers. Rinse and repeat.

"Damn, I had a blast!"

I'm telling you, a Euro-trip on rail will net you more adventure and better pacing with vastly more interesting destination. Possibly even comfort, if you take sleeper trains.

I'm hoping they'll ban these cruise ships from the Mediterranean altogether.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

What you explained is what I'd expect someone who's never been on a cruise before to describe a cruise. Sure, there's hecklers at the port immediately off the boat. Walk out of that area and it goes away, like every tourist destination.

Most cruise stops that I've been on have been around 8 hours, which is ample time to experience a bit of a location. I have only been on two cruises, so I'm by no means a seasoned traveler.

Unfortunately, the Caribbean doesn't have a rail system between the islands, so boating is the main option. While most cruises aren't luxury, and to get a suite is $$$, they are comfortable rides, almost assuredly more comfortable than a train, barring rough seas, which I've experienced once, and it wasn't that bad. They are slower than trains, but they have a dozen floors, 100 bars, pools, live entertainment, and a plethora of other things. I have enjoyed some of my at seas days more than some stops. Finally, vastly more interesting destinations is extremely subjective. There are cruises that go all over the world, so the number and choices of destinations is huge.

I'm not going to argue you least point. Like I first mentioned, they're terrible for the environment. All of my words above are just in response to, "why would anyone get one one of these", not to defend the existence of cruises.

Cruises would be pretty interesting if once out at sea they released 30 wild boar.

It ain't stupid if it works

Unless it's this

[–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Maxim 43: If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 20 hours ago

You forgot the bylaw: if you strap it down, tuck on the straps and in unison say "yup, that's not going anywhere", then your project can't fail.

They did strap the lift to the flotation device. So long as they remembered the sacred incantation, it's no longer stupid, reckless, or an OSHA violation.

If they had a short pole underwater in the middle of the belly of floating platform then it would be more stable than my 95 yo granny at 3 am on her way to the toilet

No idea how it works exactly but the sailing boats have it so to not capsize easily or at all. It actually takes great deal effort to crash the sailing boat on its side, these fuckers can go 90 degrees under heavy wind and still come back like a spring though no promise the people will be still onboard.

It’s kind of fun actually to sail almost 90 degrees on the side but scary.

ezdock is amazingly stable. This is still really stupid but not as completely as it seems.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the surface area and buoyancy are serious. The lift is well balanced and designed not to tip over on a very small base.

I think, unless they've got some decent magic trick the biggest worry would be getting it on there in the first place. Maybe they crain it on there...

Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

If you showed a picture of a standard tower crane to someone with a decent understanding of physics but had never seen one before, they would similarly recoil and go "WTF why are you suspending a bunch of concrete blocks high in the sky on what looks like a pencil thin beam!" and it would take some explaining, OR it would take seeing it regularly for that person to become okay with it.

People don't see this every day, so they don't take it for granted, and therefore it looks insane. Just like tower cranes look insane.

[–] goldfndr@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago

Looks like it's going to pick up Seattle's Space Needle. Quite insane. /c/confusingperspective
