Elon Musk in an exploding starship when.

Reminds me of that sketch The Expert. Seems like the gist of it is analogous to he wanted to draw seven red lines, strictly perpendicular, some with green ink and some with transparent ink, and when the expert told him that's impossible, he said, "I am richguyinnovator, hear me roar!" And reality did what reality tends to do.

Also seemed like the media was trying really hard to turn it into some kind of real life version of The Martian, when it was pretty clear from the start it was over for those people and there was nothing heroic or brave about what the guy running it was doing; just needlessly playing on the razor's edge of existence, living out a delusion of human supremacy over nature. I almost want to say it's like a microcosm of capitalism as a whole in that way. The way it acts like it can dominate nature somehow, while ecosystems we depend on face collapse as a result of the unsustainable systemic practices.

have more submarines

Two weeks before 600 hundred people died in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe through Greece, hoping for a better life, and no one cared about them. Then a touristic submarine full with shitty people that doesn't know what to do with their stolen money (every rich person is a thief, if you have money above a certain amount you are stealing from society) explode, and the whole world cares about getting them back. Me, I say to send more rich people down the ocean, and I hope this is only the beginning: touristic space travels also promise interesting developments in this direction.

Space tourism is a hugely inefficient way for a handful of billionaires at a time to pop half way to orbit. There are much cheaper and less environmentally destructive ways of achieving a similar result.

You're right, but in my country (Italy) classwar seems so down that sometimes I get to think that the only way to eliminate rich people is to let them do it by themselves. Sad.

Humans dying is always bad, there's no reason to be happy about it.

Some dead millionaires doesn't make communism any closer, and the rest is just a vent for anger at them.

Still, I feel like their riches blew the story out of the proportion. Would it be a few regular people, no one would notice.

Wrong, at the very least, nazis dying is good

Billionaires paying to drown will not bring communism but it's pretty damn funny

Nazis figuring out they believe in bullshit is good.

Their death should come as a last resort if they themselves come to threaten someone else (say, Jews).

Couldn't care less, they paid for the risk, they got what they paid for. Their death very slightly decreased income inequality in the world 😂

It has generated some amazing memes and I have never enjoyed a billionaires death so much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not even the Queen's? That was pretty funny too; better memes imo
