They’ve been very cagey about their reasons, so naturally the comments are split between making the worst/most hilarious assumptions, making jokes, and actual helpful advice.
What am I missing? It’s pretty clearly a bit of dark humour about the missing submarine
In responses within the thread, the OP actually sounds like they have a plan they intend to go through.
Regardless of whether this is genuine or not, the responses are hilarious (and interesting).
Exactly. I just checked back and the OP has updated it with a heap of detail.
Not sure how to link in the fediverse but this is the link for me: original asklemmy thread
Thank you, kind poster
I love dark humor and I have to - regretfully!! - confess that I do not get it. What?? How is someone wanting to not poop for days related to the submarine? Is it just that they didn’t have a bathroom on board because they didn’t anticipate being gone that long?
I am genuinely so sorry to ask! I know explaining kills the joke, and I don’t mind if you don’t answer because you don’t want to kill it, I’m okay with not getting it.
I mean, it was dark humour, but as I read it, the comment was about those people trying to survive on that tiny sub for several days before they could be rescued, with no extra food, no toilet and no space.
I think theres evidence that it imploded just 2 (ish) hours into the dive.
Yes but that isn’t funny
true
Not when it was posted though
They did have a toilet behind a small curtain and they would play music while it was being used. They were encouraged to use it as little as possible. So, yeah, OP could be making a joke about that.
Or it’s someone going on a camping trip who doesn’t want/can’t use public toilets.It’s definitely a camping trip. He talks about a tent.
Nature… finds a way
This reminds me of the “cylinder” post from askreddit
After keeping it in their guts for three days, they’ll probably need a poop knife to get it down the toilet.
I’m not sure if the post was in response to something in 196 community or if it got screenshotted there.
Either way was a funny take on the submarine situation, i suppose
I don’t think the original OP had the submarine in mind. They said they were going to do a lot of walking.
What is the 196 community?
A meme community, with the main rule being that every time you visit it you must post a meme, therefore they have a big volume of meme content posted
Tileman?
At this rate online tabloid writers are going to start frequenting kbin and Lemmy for content soon, like they do with Reddit lol
