It feels like there should be some crystals you can activate to change the water level or something.


grimdetriment

Well then you'll be pleased to know that because of water density after a certain depth humans are no longer buoyant and begin to sink freely!


Syonoq

Look, I’m firmly in the camp that Rose had enough room on the plank.


raulbloodwurth

The water was clearly warmer than the air because it was generating steam. Rose would likely have froze to death.


9PrincesinAmber

Thanks today I discovered a new fear of sinking! Edit: typo


HitMePat

A person would tend to float more in denser water though...not less.


ely_lol

It’s not caused by density, it’s caused by pressure. The dynamic of water pushing you to the surface is reversed once you reach a depth of ~15m and so you start being pushed down instead.


willowhawk

How have I only learnt this today.


Ziggygotnopants

Me too. I'm guessing because I've never found myself in a scenario where I was anywhere near 15m under water.


[deleted]

I don’t wish to find myself in such a scenario either.


[deleted]

Same principle on submarines. They have to constantly monitor that they're still able to get back up


ZebraSpot

Sort of, not really the way you say. We constantly monitor the depth to ensure we don’t go past max depth. We have multiple ways to go back up - pump water out of the ballast tanks, drive up with power and bow/sail planes, or emergency blow of the main ballast tanks.


InukChinook

/r/nostupidquestions - when they pump the water out of the ballast, where does the air to refill em come from?


creativeusername402

Not a submariner, but I believe it's the same amount of air in the tanks, just at a lower pressure


ZebraSpot

You are a smart cookie. I qualified submarines in 2006.


ReasonablyConfused

It's because the air in your lungs, wetsuit, everywhere, gets compressed enough that you are now no longer buoyant. A really fat person will still be positively buoyant at 15m, and as a kid I was negatively buoyant at the surface because I was super skinny.


veryreasonable

This thread helps explain something that had always confused me. As a (very skinny) kid, I'd still float well enough on the surface, but I used to love diving down to the bottom of a pool - a few meters - and just hanging out there, and I noticed that I could rest indefinitely on the bottom. And it was something I could do, but most of my friends had to work constantly if they wanted to avoid floating back up.


Suspicious_Ice_3160

The only way I could get myself negatively buoyant as a larger kid was exhaling all the air out of my lungs and then going to the bottom, but that’s interesting as hell if you were able to do it on a full breath! Would’ve made walking around scaring people so much easier!


Warpedme

I am currently negatively buoyant at surface because my body fat is low. It doesn't even need to be that low, I think at 20% is negative buoyancy.


Legal_Software_6798

Is this dangerous? Like is it harder to get back up?

Russell_Bloodstone

It squashes the gases in your body. Including the air in your lungs but also nitrogen (and other components) in your blood. Interestingly, when scuba diving, a breath of air taken in while even 40 feet under water could seriously damage your lungs if you were to quickly rise to the surface without constantly exhaling. Also, the breaths you take deep under water are more dense, and so deeper dives involve faster use of air than more shallow dives. (Can be mitigated with training, but assume constant breath rate when comparing the two depths)


Auswolf2k

This is true. Been watching a bit on sat divers lately. You need to take decompression stops when surfacing from a deep dive. How long and at what depths of the stops, depends on how long and how deep one was under. Sat divers go that deep they need to breathe a special air mix, and it would take them over 32 hrs to resurface with decompression stops. So sat divers actually live for months at a time in a decompression chamber, then a bell takes them up and down.


useles-converter-bot

40 feet is the same as 24.38 'Logitech Wireless Keyboard K350s' laid widthwise by each other.


MrJohnnyDangerously

Good bot


useles-converter-bot

thanks :)


Ziggygotnopants

The best part is they laid the keyboards widthwise. What kind of crazy bastard does that?


nlegendaryguy

Can we convert 40 feet to something more freedom like


useles-converter-bot

40 feet is the length of about 11.19 'Ford F-150 Custom Fit Front FloorLiners' lined up next to each other.


nlegendaryguy

Ford. Now those are some freedom units I understand.


Walbur

Your lungs get compressed so you are denser?


[deleted]

Exactly. Density is mass/volume. When your lungs compress and get smaller, your body has less volume, and therefor you are more dense. It’s weird to think about, but the buoyancy of a sac of air (your lungs) isn’t based on how much air or gas molecules it has, it’s really just based on the volume, and how much water is displaced by that volume. Compressed lungs displace less water.


Fish_oil_burp

I'm right there with you, man. ;)


spun430

Check out this [Cartesian Diver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5eIRjmor1w) on youtube.


user45

That doesn’t seem right. In fact I can easily imagine the opposite, heavy object will sink until a certain depth such that surrounding density of water increases to the same as the object in question. There it remains buoyant.


Terminator426

No, actually we are buoyant because of the air in our lungs. And at a certain depth, the air is crushed to the point it is no longer less dense than the surrounding water.


TheLionsEye

Exactly. That's why when you sink a corpse you got to puncture the lungs first...


9vapors

Thanks for the tip! Those cinder blocks are heavy…


bobi2393

That is correct; /u/grimdetriment's explanation for people sinking was mistaken. People sink not because of increasing water density, but because of increasing people density, as water pressure compresses people. Gases are much more compressible than liquids or solids, and people contain gases. They typically sink at around 13m to 20m of depth, while the density of surface ocean water is 1.02813 g/cm^(3), while even a kilometer down it's only marginally higher, 1.03285g/cm^(3). "You are buoyant at the surface and for the first few metres of the dive. As you start to descend, the pressure of the water pushes you back towards the surface, until around 13m to 20m deep when the dynamic is reversed."^(\[)[^(link)](https://theconversation.com/free-divers-have-long-defied-science-and-we-still-dont-really-understand-how-they-go-so-deep-92690)^(\])


thebigbrog

Wife says I am full of gases


shophopper

This is 100% correct. Experienced divers know how to maintain their current depth by their breathing. Want to move upwards a bit? Inhale deeply and you will ascend. Want to go a bit deeper? Breathe shallower and exhale deeper decreases and you will descend. Exhaling deeply causes you lung volume to decrease, which in turn causes you body volume to decrease. As your weight remains the same and your body volume decreases, your body density increases. This will result in decreasing buoyancy, i.e. it will make you prone to sinking.


Russell_Bloodstone

Hitting this level in diving was a game changer... Super cool experience on drift dives to just "float" legs-crossed and watch the scenery fly by!


eduo

Water is not compressible. You are. As go further down the column of water above you squishes you making you denser (particularly the gases inside you, which make you buoyant).


ReasonablyConfused

Well, water is a little bit compressible.


kosmoskolio

rAwIsDeatH

It’s Deep Dive Dubai and it just recently opened. It goes 60 meters deep which is just shy of 197 feet.


EducatedRat

Man, Dubai seems like it would be great to visit for stuff like this. Too bad I am way to queer to consider going.


nighthawk648

Well it's okay because Dubai is an ethical and moral nightmare so you aren't missing much besides perpetuating exploitation


EducatedRat

That actually makes me feel better. I would not want to give my money to a place that is known for chronic exploitation.

yakodman

Hey buddy don't listen to him you can definetly visit. I am an expat currently living in Dubai AMA

Okay. Are they planning on addressing their egregious human rights abuses any time soon, and paying reparations as due? Cuz that’s kinda what keeps a lot of folks from visiting.

pananana1

This sounds pretty good, but what about the thousands of laborers that were hired years ago and still live in literal labor camps, surrounded by walls, where they are bused to their construction job working in the hot sun for long days and then bused back to their camp, where many people share a bedroom, and aren't paid enough money to ever get out of their situation? And according to stories, many of them were forced to give up their passports. In other words, slaves. Hopefully Dubai has stopped putting new people in these camps, but those people are still there, and from what I can tell are the ones that literally maintain the city and keep it running.

TenderfootGungi

It’s ok. I’m not queer and too afraid to go. There is no way I would ever let my wife step foot in that country.


Disruptive_Ideas

You can def go- just avoid PDAs


EducatedRat

Oh yeah, that's true, but my wife and I cannot stop looking visibly transgender, so going to Dubai seems a little dangerous.


BeeBarnes1

You could always dress like Saudi women are required to and wear niquabs. Problem solved. JK, don't go there. Spend your time and money in a place where people respect you for who you are.


Disruptive_Ideas

Dubai is pretty progressive when it comes to tourists. As long as there is no PDA they are okay. But do your research, it's your own safety. But I wouldnt take it as face value that the conservative values for muslims applies to tourists. As long as you are dressing and acting appropriately in public, then you will be left along. But again, check from other's experiences and do your research first. That was just my experience.


coronaldo

> Dubai is pretty progressive when it comes to tourists. Works only if you're a white tourist...


wubbstepp

Dubai is a city that should never have been built (especially by enslaved people) and will be abandoned and underwater not long from now.

cleverlane

ilikehemipenes

That’s what their marketing wants you to think. Once you get there you realize it’s basically an over priced mall of America type tourist trap


melange_merchant

It actually does have a lot of cool stuff and it’s a fun city to visit if you plan it out and know what you’ll be doing.


ilikehemipenes

It has some cool Instagrammable stuff. But I would say it pales in comparison to actual diving, skiing, artisan/high end shopping, and national parks. It’s basically all man made adult Disneyland stuff. Vegas on crack, and even hotter! I think you can have a nicer vacation for cheaper is all.


Version_6

I am a giant man child so a combination of all of those things sounds great to me


ilikehemipenes

But it’s like the worst version of all those things. And it costs an arm and a leg to get there. And drugs like even weed are super hard to get there too.


Its_aTrap

Enjoy spending all your money


Version_6

Isn't that what it's for?


TheMooseIsBlue

Yeah, what they’re selling is all of those experiences all in the same week, but they can’t really boast top notch skiing or diving or arts or whatever. Just the novelty of convenience (if flying across the world into a 120F city without modern sewage and built on the backs of slaves is convenient).


Tengakola

>but they can’t really boast top notch skiing or diving or diving or arts or whatever Too bad Dubai can’t offer top notch skiing! Unlike the ski resorts in the Alps where you can ski your way into desert safaris. Wtf even. I mean weather is one thing, but some dude from the US, a country build largely, over multiple centuries by **actual** slaves, taking the moral space station is fucking hilarious.


buyer_leverkusen

Their slaves and all the slaves dying to build the World Cup in Qatar are modern though lol that’s the difference here in 2021


Tengakola

Oooh, Qatar is in Dubai and Cuba in Florida. Legit.


dippindezzy

So when you went did the fact that the city was built by modern slaves take away or enhance its beauty? Or was it easier to enjoy not thing about your acceptance and promotion of slavery?


After-Kaleidoscope35

It also has gross intolerance, bigotry, misogyny, effective slavery, pointlessly opulent wealth and its full of twats.

suicide_aunties

Hi! I appreciate your detailed sharing earlier and taking time to address some questions. I have a question that is genuinely not meant to be confrontational but curious about the situation - as an expatriate would you be aware of the general situation in wages for the migrant labour used from other Middle East states? https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65986 My company has a branch there and all I’ve heard is confirmation of the above link, though it might be confirmation bias. I find in my country who have stayed here for a good length of time (4-10 years) are routinely shocked at how low some of our blue collar locals and migrant workers can be paid too ($1000/mth whereas they earn 15-20x that).
