        If subnautica taught me anything, he voiced the actual sub.

    Followed shortly by ‘oh shit’ and ‘we dropped two weights’ then ‘guys, it’s getting kind of wet in here…’

    Just kidding, mostly.

    Serious question: how does a submarine know how much it weighs?

      Explosive decompression is almost instantaneous at that depth. They wouldn’t have had a chance to even blink.

        Wouldn’t it have happened so fast that they never even registered the pain of being crushed? Like, the signal from the body never even reached the brain, it was so fast.

          So fast they’d not even be able to register what was happening. Not a bad way to go.

              No joke, I was in the hospital with a heart attack back in January, waiting on my stent.

              Woke up at 6 AM and was fiddling on my phone such as you do. Nurse comes in:

              “Were you asleep about an hour ago?”

              “Yeah, why?”

              “Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”

              “Um… thank you? I’m not sure what to do with that information…”

                I never really got the “heart stop = dead” thing like yes, if you’re heart stops you’re going to die, but even when someone is beheaded, they are still conscious enough for a few seconds to blink their eyes in response to questions. It’s when the electrical signals in your brain stop that you’re actually dead, not your heart.

                  Yup! I love the whole pro life “abortion stops a beating heart!” thing. The heart doesn’t really mean much, you can make a heart beat in a petrie dish, that doesn’t make it “alive”.

        Yeah, it was definitely intended as humor an attempt at levity.

    Amazing how intact the back half is given, you know, explosive decompression.

      Actually this is the opposite of explosive decompression.
