I used to ask my dad where we were on car trips.

"Directly above the center of the earth." Thanks asshole.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

That's a good one *takes notes

The earth is a bit lumpy, so chances are that was a lie and he was actually lost and couldn't figure out how to get everybody else out of the car so he could go on a trip to get milk.

*Directly above the gravitational center of mass of the Earth

Sheeeeesh, happy?

I should've put "ackshually" and /s

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I guess I should have too, I was playing along with you :P

Top left corner is the Weddell Sea so we know it’s somewhere in that direction

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

everybody know "top-left" means north-west ! just say that !

I don't know where his ship is, but the man had great taste in blended Scotch! If you run across a bottle of Shackleton in your local liqueur store, buy it.

Near the British Empire then.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.

I’m good with it. Keep it somewhat hidden. Once the position gets out, every asshat with a scuba tank and calls themselves “an explorer” will ruin the place.

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

asshat with a scuba tank

3000 meters beneath the Weddell Sea

Good luck

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Someone will try it don’t worry.

That or some billionaire will send private subs down to it.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

From what I’ve read, billionaires need more private sub trips

[–] AnalogNotDigital@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's like a basic reading comprehension thing....

The ship is located in the Weddell Sea, which is north of Antarctica.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

they're saying everywhere outside Antarctica is north of Antarctica, so that doesn't add anything. it's deliberately obtuse for humorous effect. basic joke comprehension should be a thing.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Or south from the Equator line.

[–] garlicandonions@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I appreciate the "perhaps", like, the headline qualifies how annoyed they are at imprecision.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 91 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Narrowed it down to a single planet.

I assume they mean "just north of Antarctica". But really it could be any body of water on the planet it could fit in.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 week ago (14 children)

"Just north of Antarctica" is still not helpful at all though. Even a hemisphere would narrow it down more.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 94 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just north of Antarctica in the southern hemisphere.

Fun fact: I have never actually seen a clip of this with audio, so I always give this guy the Skeletor voice in my head and I just realized he probably doesn't sound like that.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 6 days ago

I might have seen it once a long time ago, but I don't remember what he sounded like, so I can't confirm that for you.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 55 points 1 week ago

If "north of Antarctica" isn't enough to narrow it down, here are a few tips: it's also south of the Arctic, further from the Sun than Venus, closer to the Sun than Mars. Now it's easy to find it!
