MODERATORS
first as comedy then as comedy
"It's even funnier the second time"
Honestly think we might be onto something here.
Just sell an annual trip to the center of the earth for 2 billion dollars.
It's just a tube that goes straight down for 2000'. Well slowly (and then at a rapidly increasing rate) grt rid of everybody who thinks they're too rich for negative consequences to apply to them.
[dipshit with death wish] is planning a descent to explore Dean's blue hole
I'm liking this new annual tradition of rich people donating their bodies to feed marine life via voluntary deep sea implosions. 
Blue Marble Exploration’s website says: “Locals believe that Dean’s is a portal to hell and the Devil himself lurks in the black depths."
Mr Söhnlein, who also believes he can “safely” send humans to Venus
This is already shaping up to be extremely funny
The billionaires yearn for the icy black void.
It remembers them of their heart
I say let’em. Give ~~war~~ the ocean a chance!
Comrade pressure, we once again call on you for your help.
no, its actually "Major Pressure" who's ruling down there.
edit: he got promoted for his success a year ago or so ;-)
Next year i expect 2 submarines
I think we owe it to the billionaires to let them have the inaugural ride; they've done so much for us.
Are they taking volunteers?
Not me, but I can think of people I'd volunteer.
Poseidon is hungry
imagine being the fish who gets to eat their dead body guts
shit must be so cash
Alright, good luck with that
I offer my critical support for our billionaires in this endeavor. Chumming the ocean for our marine comrades is extremely based.
sobased
people are doing this more and more
Apparently they're going to use a real sub for this. So they probably won't be leaving their scattered remnants all over the site.
Sorry for the bad news.
They really think they can win against nature and pressure oh lord lol.
Elon Musk is afraid to go on this sub because of woke
Alexa, play "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
