minus-squarestairjoke@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·7 days agoSailing near the south pole is not advisable, you might die. But thats also true for many other things, so whatever.
minus-squareZagorath@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·7 days agoNo diesel sub is going to have the range to make that trip. And NZ doesn’t allow nuclear subs in its waters.

minus-squarePasserby6497@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 days agoIf you zoom out far enough, the zig zags look like a straight line. Something like a fractal or how they measure coastlines.
