Letting the days go by!
Let the water all dry up
Letting the days go by!
Water flowing underground?!
Into the alfalfa, until the money's gone
Once in a lifetime! Lake Mead's looking more like ground.

I'd comment lots on reddit, but rarely post. On Lemmy, I post! Even started a community!

Mmmmm remember that time Elon offered 1m dogecoin to whoever could prove he owned an emerald mine? And then his dad was all like "can I play too I have the paperwork here!". Elon tries not to.

From YouTube: The Lightning preservation group's annual event of the year, starring their three English Electric Lightnings, a pair of F.6s and an F.3. The F.6s being working examples performed a static reheat and fast taxi for the crowd. in 2020 the land the airfield sits on was leased to Cox Automotive, who decided to stop the Cold War jet shows from taking place in Favour of storing used Cars on the runway. All the aircraft shown here are now on Static display, but where possible kept in serviceable condition to reduce corrosion. This subsequently means that this video shows the last ever fast taxi of the definitive lightning mark, the F.6, and leaves just T.5 XS458 at Cranfield Airport the only lightning in the UK potentially capable of fast taxi.

I need to get better at naming these posts.
Complete with gun pods, GBUs and nose art, on a dirt runway.
Built in 1946, it reached a speed of 720km/h at 45,000ft and was one of the fastest prop powered planes ever built. It was made redundant by mass produced high altitude bombers, such as the B-36, and the arrival of the jet engine. Sexy silver cigar.

Do take what I say with a grain of salt, but my late night napkin math says that (assuming a now rectangular human that's 16 inches wide and 72 inches tall) a person should have a frontal surface area of 1100 inches, under 6000psi, that'd be about 6,800,000 pounds of pressure on them - instant death.

These are styrofoam cups that've been crushed by the pressure at the bottom of the ocean. The water isn't looking for your nose, it'd just crush your outsides into your insides until you hit a relative density, like the cup, but not as pretty. The air in your lungs would instantly compress and heat to several thousand degrees C, turning your insides back into your outsides. I think.
