1 strong wave later, the plumbing gets wrecked and shit backflows into the pod.

The best solution is obviously connecting the pods together and making ocean trains™.

[athatcher]

Okay, but what if we made some kind of anarchocapitalist libertarian super pod city UNDER the sea?!

I live in Canberra. Our magpies provide more effective air defence than any Air Force.

I've played enough Subnautica to know where this is going...

EDIT: The idea of "Anarcho-Capitalism at sea" is now also reminding me of BioShock. Of course I know AnCaps *LOVE* Rapture while clearly showing they missed the point.

I'm convinced that this entire concept started with these two messing around with building in Subnautica, looking at what they had just constructed and saying "What if we did this but in real life, " and then they both congratulate themselves on their genius.

So they went from reinventing the train to reinventing the house-boat?

Imagine if that libertarian fever dream actually took off, we'd also get pirates 4.0!

A drunk buddy of mine once tried to explain to me how the Avengers air carrier is totally possible.
His drunken ramblings made 100 times more sense than this.

"governments don't own the ocean." How do you be a world traveling adult without knowing about national vs international waters?

Somehow according to libertarians, the 15 minute city (which my great-grandparents called "a city") is a dystopia for having small apartments with access to public transportation, services, and shops. But a 600 sq ft residential unit in a difficult to reach location is a utopian solution.
Don't let the Grafton bears attack you.

I renovate houses. I just started on a new jobsite at the Jersey shore. The wind and the salty water and ocean spray is something that causes a lot of corrosion on buildings. For example: materials that would last 30 years or more in Philadelphia last 10 years tops in Atlantic City.

I made a random guess and said that the electrical service at the house looks to be 10-15 years old. In reality it was only 3 years old! The rusted gas pipes were something that I could have sworn were 50 years old, yet they were installed in the late 00s. The copper pipes, far from being the oldest I've seen, were the most corroded I have ever seen.

Hurricane Sandy was very expensive for NJ. Nearly every property that experienced flooding needed (or still needs) some kind of renovation work.

There's a reason a lot of materials, compounds, sealants, and lubricants have to be "marine rated" for use at oceanfront properties, let alone for use on boats.

I don't think these fever-dream projects will be getting many investors like my employer, people who are familiar with owning and maintaining shore properties!

I didn't watch video to the end, but here is my solution:
- get them at sea level
- make them more stable shape
- make them able to move

wait no, that's just boat houses

As a thai, I had to look up on when the hell did this happened and how the heck did I missed it 😅. Turns out it was from five years ago, right off the coast of Phuket and right under Prayut's reign no less. And yes, his action could easily warranted a Seal raid or at least several rounds from a deck gun should he value his ideology more than his life. Considering the media here phrase their narrative as "rogue farang tried to establish his own free state in our territorial waters" most thai people wouldn't even have any sympathies for him either (leftists here only preach downfall of dictatorship, most people don't know what the hell libertarianism is, thai people's struggles are with finding the right kind of government, not getting rid of it). For anyone wondering why would we react with such force, please remember that dictatorship or not, Thailand is smack dab in the middle of Balkan of Asia, bordering four nations that we at most have a lukewarm relationship with. We have to deal with drug smugglers penetrating through the north, insurgency doing hit and run attack and disappearing across the border down south, and potential political crisis with the remnant of an ancient empire in the east. Not to mention the huge influx of foreign workers we allow in from those countries each year. We take border integrity VERY seriously, even ahead of economic growth. So, for anyone who's looking for a good time here, please play nice and we'll be the best hosts as we can be. The taboos and social norms here are very easy to avoid, you have to really be looking for trouble to get yourself into one like this guy.

(for anyone wondering, in 16:16 the RTN reason is that not only it is unauthorized, but the structure also poses an obstacle and a hazard to maritime navigation, as it has no warning signals of any kind that would broadcast its existence apart from some dim interior lightings. I don't know anything about seamanship, just thought that it would be interesting.)

"Hey guys. You know how oil rigs are notorious awful places to work on, and we have to pay people possible life changing money just to stay on there for a few months? Well what if we did something similar, but with a studio apartment!"

That awkward moment when you’re ill at sea, but your libertarian encampment doesn’t have a doctor, nurse, or hospital.

[LucasProgeny]

As a former live-aboard boat owner, I can confirm every issue you mentioned is 100% accurate. This whole idea is an utter joke.

[Azakamak]

To paraphrase a particular dock master: "The ocean is made out of liquid hate that hate's metal and man-made things in particular." The only thought that went through these people's heads was "I want to live on a boat, but, like, waaay cooler." Everything else was tertiary at best.

Why is everyones view of the future always white and round? You picked the one color thats shows all the dirt, and you picked the single hardest shape to build.
