A submersible with dead billionaires.
I’m not sure those still fit the description
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.
Also the majority of it has been recovered and brought back up. The hull and billionaire bits are back on shore somewhere.
A small lump of metal, glass, bone and maybe a little goopie bits if they got trapped does not elicit the same mental image.
Actually, it’s sand or rock. The water is on top of that.
Uh, actually, it’s fish poopoos and peepees
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.
should have brought a flashlight smh
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.
What about the second time?
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.
Would you wanna look out and see a wasteland of trash, dirt and stuff?
I learned about brine pools recently and I’m fascinated
Thanks that was an interesting fact. Wiki
I believe Goo Lagoon from Spongebob is canonically a brine pool
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.
It’s called Big Geo and they keep lyin’ to us!
Crust? Mantle? We’re talking about the ocean, not pies or furniture.
there is a youtube channel that shows all that shit tho

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.
Wouldn’t the bottom of the ocean NOT be water?
this guy clearly hasn’t been to the bottom of the ocean
plastic bags
David Byrne was actually the first person to discover this during a Once in a Lifetime opportunity
And he may have said to himself “my God, what have I done!”
Sand!
And dirt
Microplastics
I wouldn’t wanna know what cuthulu monster lies dormant on those depths
Makes perfect sense if read in the voice of Cat from Red Dwarf.
Water and billionaire corpses
