How am I supposed to traverse Antarctica (a continental land mass) in a big wooden ship? Does the ship have wheels and sleds? Because Antarctica is a desert. A cold one, yes, but still a very-much-hostile-to-sea-faring-wessels desert.
Someone will have to get out and pull
You ever seen the movie Fitzcarraldo?
No, have you seen Bunganormous?
Just wait a decade or two.
Antarctica is still a landmass. With mountains and shit.
Details my friend, details, we’ll figure it out on the ship.
Maybe the melting ice will create navigable rivers?
Depends if I’m passenger or crew. Working a ship sounds like a way bigger pain in the ass than my job.
You’re the guest of honor who tries to interpret an ancient treasure map that you inherited from a distant relative.
Actually, it’s pretty alright! Being below deck during rough weather sucks and the morning after shore leave ain’t great either. But it wasn’t a bad gig.
So we gotta be trans to go on the trip?
I mean if that’s the price… 😂
Yeah, I think so. And then I guess they make you reverse it on the return trip. Maritime rules are weird.
I will trust you on that. I’m only well-versed on Bird Law.
When they put it back on, can they put a bigger one back on instead?
I don’t see why not
My roommate went to Omega Mart a few days ago and all she got me was this pack of chewing gum and maybe covid. Hopefully not the covid, but she’s got it right now. :/
Edit: got the covid too.
Amazing.
I love this so much. Did you make it or just have it lying around? It seems so niche I’m inclined to believe you made It lol
It came from Omega Mart, which my roommate visited when she was in Las Vegas a few days ago, I just took a picture of it.
Would probably still be warmer than some of the offices I’ve worked in.
The fuck I would.
Yeah I know the success rate of those things and I’m not a huge fan of long pork
Shit I just want the office job so I can quit being killed for nearly minimum wage. Plus I hate the cold.
I just want food service workers to be treated like actual people. I love cooking food but between corporate and customers I’m at a limit 😮💨
Same here. Never been in food, but retail is definitely it’s own nightmare. Here’s hoping for the both of us.
Have you tried the ribs or belly? Goes well with a bottle of Chianti 👌

I’m questioning the logistics of dragging ships along across the antarctic mountains, but as long as I am one of those riding the ships instead of dragging, I’m game.
The sea is a cruel mistress me hearties 🏴☠️
I’ll pass on trans antarctic trips. I’m not a fan of the cold, and it’s very cold down there. Now trans Atlantic… YES!
Yeah no one ever got cold on a trans-atlantic ship, no sir, not even in April 1912.
Those guys going from Denmark to Iceland on longships in 800 a.d. were just toasty warm as well
When I was a kid my mother got me a book on the expedition of the Terror.
I will not be going on a trans arctic or antarctic voyage in a wooden ship.
Edit: NVM I’ll go. Risk is worth it. Call me up when you’re ready to embark
Many good jobs from the past are no more such a shame.
Transatlantic, yes, but not transantartic. I do not like cold.
As long as we have access to modern medicine I’m game!
Here’s an orange
On a scale from 1-100, how many teeth does the surgeon’s bone-saw have?
Just make sure to choose the right type of boat.
Cuz shackelton did not.
Make sure to choose the right type of men, too.
Shackelton did do that. He personally interviewed every crew memeber.
And he did a good job too. When thier boat became trapped in the ice they had to spend the entire antartic winter held up inside the immovable ship. I think it was like 9 months.
They had no altercations and were generally in good spirits.
The kind who like to cuddle?
I wouldn’t go on a trans antarctic trip; I wouldn’t want the cold air blowing up my skirt.
