    “We’ve found an abundant pocket of water on Mars. Enough to sustain our proposed data centers for a few decades.”

    Fun fact, that big gash is called Valles Marineris and it’s the deepest canyon in the solar system.

    There’s probably nothing scary in there…

      It’s definitely the largest canyon, if I’m reading Wiki right. It’s over 4km long and 200 wide, compared to the Grand Canyon at 277km long and 29 wide

      The Mariana Trench seems to be deeper, 11000 m compared to 7000 m. But I’m not sure what’s the reference point on Mars for elevation. But at least can’t fall into the Mariana Trench

        why not? is there some local anomaly that causes gravity not to work?

      Okay here me out, are you really saying that you don’t want him to go to Mars?

      I do. Or anywhere else really. Ideally hell. I mean even if hell did not exist, make one and then go to it. (Or I guess it would really be the other way around? 😜)

      But you know, Musk fucking off to Mars is also okay with me. Better there then here anyway.

        Men are from Mars. Elon Musk is not a man he is a pile of dung, he doesn’t belong there.

      Uh oh, nuance and subtlety detected - in the direction opposing the approved echo chamber opinion (may it live forever, and which definitely has clothes on), Lemmy will now commence the downvote brigade.

      Oh shoot I almost forgot to preemptively throw up my own protective defenses - “I <insert name here> do solemly declare that Microsoft is an evil corporation, named after a soft dick, which must be opposed by all means necessary… and henceforth pledge to only use (Arch) Linux forevermore.” (Ha! As if we all weren’t already doing that!🤪 Right!? R-right!!! R-r-right???)
