dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

And pressure differences for submersible hull are orders of magnitude greater than pressure differences for aircraft hull.

Hell, even a spacecraft hull differential is typically the same as one atmosphere, total. By about 10m down you're already 1 atm of additional force beyond the 1 atm that exists just by existing at sea level. So, at the depth of the Titanic (around 3800 meters) you're at around 380 atm of pressure, give or take.
