        Bits of submersible with dead billionaires? Sand formed by the sudden and thorough crushing of a submersible with dead billionaires? The Logitech F710 aught to be mentioned as well. Of all the things cheap game controllers have suffered, utterly destroyed by deep sea pressure is one.

        A small lump of metal, glass, bone and maybe a little goopie bits if they got trapped does not elicit the same mental image.

        Also the majority of it has been recovered and brought back up. The hull and billionaire bits are back on shore somewhere.

    Actually, it’s sand or rock. The water is on top of that.

    Wrong.

    The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.

    Real facts: The gnarliest thing about the first submersible to touch the bottom of the Marianas Trench was only down for like, 30 minutes IIRC, because it had a glass porthole and they were unsure of its stability (even though it was hella thick and had a pretty small diameter), but they wanted it to be able to observe what was down there. But when they hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of silt and they were unable to see anything for the whole duration they were down there. Oof.

        I don’t know if anyone’s ever been down there again. I vaguely remember a headline in the last 5 or so years that said someone was trying to, though I don’t know if they have yet.

      Is that so? The bottom of a glass is glass. But the ocean is not the glass; it’s the water in the glass. You wouldn’t say that the bottom of the water in the glass is made of glass.

    So it’s just water all the way down? Then why are all these geologist types talking about some mythical “crust” and “mantle” nonsense? You should probably talk some sense into them.

    there is a youtube channel that shows all that shit tho

    https://m.youtube.com/user/SchmidtOceanVideos

    It is hours and hours of the most powerful non-fiction hallucinogens you can possibly take but also it is very calming and relaxed often with a friendly science narrator.

    In a way I guess it is like going on a field trip with Mrs. Frizzle but from the slightly horrifying perspective of actually being on the field trip.

    The deep sea dropped so much acid it just got stuck down there, and at this point nobody fucks around down in that neighborhood when it comes to being as absolutely fucking weird as possible.

    Scifi movies don’t have shit on the actual real deep sea.
