I would be more surprised if stuff like that would not find its way to places like that.
cap11235•1mo ago
And it's not like there is anything (other than submersibles) that might cause it to find its way out again.
eimrine•1mo ago
I would like to see some movie like unresponsible guy throws his bottle to somewhere than some natural power moves it.
andy99•1mo ago
Isn’t that The Gods Must Be Crazy?

dehugger•1mo ago
This is an incredible film
amelius•1mo ago
That was a great movie, thanks for sharing! :)
CrzyLngPwd•1mo ago
But did they pick it up?
bch•1mo ago
Not worth it for the $0.10 return. Put more down there to incentivize.

(lacking details on the bottle itself)

meisel•1mo ago
I'm curious what objects do/don't survive at the water pressure. I guess bottles are strong enough
fogleman•1mo ago
Presumably it was open & empty, so it's just a piece of glass surviving...
dmurray•1mo ago
Even so, wouldn't you expect that you could crush an open empty beer bottle by putting a heavy enough weight on it? A human can't do it, but I would expect an elephant can.
jdmoreira•1mo ago
That's not how pressure works if it's opened. The forces balance out
bracketfocus•1mo ago
The pressure inside the bottle is the same as the outside. So it’s not the same as stomping on an empty bottle.
FL410•1mo ago
But the forces are the same all around the bottle (again assuming it is open)
rags2riches•1mo ago
The bottle wouldn't be empty though.
RajT88•1mo ago
There is quite a lot of pressure put outside from the beer of a full bottle, but that little bit of air is probably enough to cause it to implode at some point.

I'll be honest; I have no idea how to estimate that. I'm sure there are folks on here who can (and might). It's probably not as deep as you'd think.

wolvoleo•1mo ago
I'd imagine the cap will fail under the pressure long before the forces get high enough to implode the bottle.
mihaaly•1mo ago
no
UniverseHacker•1mo ago
Solids and liquids mostly don’t compress so as a general rule most can handle those pressures without experiencing any real mechanical stress, as they instantly provide a perfectly matching internal pressure that balances out the forces to zero.

It’s mostly things that contain gases that can get crushed by high pressure. Almost any type of closed cell foam for example, will either collapse to a small size or crack and crumble apart depending on how rigid it is.

Living things tend to get harmed by pressure changes because they have compressible gasses and/or biological compartments that contain things that experience phase changes between gas and liquid at different pressures.

jordanpg•1mo ago
I agree it's something of a bummer, but why is this surprising or "bizarre"?

I don't see any ads on Firefox (Android) with uBlock Origin.

That site seems horrible though. Random words in the body like reddit are hyperlinks to SEO landing pages on the same site. And there must be a better (original) source for the story than this...

Seems like this is better, or at least maybe a primary source?

drnick1•1mo ago
You should really use an ad blocker. The Internet is basically unusable these days without one. I block ad domains at the DNS level too, but the ad blocker is still necessary to remove the empty frames left, sad.
add-sub-mul-div•1mo ago
If you don't want to use an adblocker that's your choice, but it doesn't make complaining about it content that we want to read.
cbisnett•1mo ago
What’s the chance this was dropped off one of the research vessels at some point? It seems unlikely to drift given it sank to the bottom.
apt-apt-apt-apt•1mo ago
It'd be surprising if we found it on the moon, but how is it surprising that something fell 7 miles until it hit the floor

anonymousiam•1mo ago
Perhaps it was tossed overboard by somebody on the support vessel...
fnord77•1mo ago
I have a feeling someone dropped this bottle on purpose when they were over the trench. They knew what they were doing. Note the lack of other littler.
sowbug•1mo ago
The article mentions thalassophobia, which is my new vocabulary word for today. It means fear of large bodies of water.
andy99•1mo ago
I found that to be really bad writing

  When it comes to exploring the deep sea, unless you suffer from thalassophobia (the fear of large bodies of water), it can be quite fascinating.
What purpose does this serve, other than to introduce a word that has no future relevance in the article. It’s just an empty sentence padding the word count.
karmakurtisaani•1mo ago
How would you otherwise be aware the author knew this word?
nephihaha•1mo ago
Fear of the sea not large bodies of water.

Thalassa! Thalassa!

(Ancient Greek literary reference there.)

For years we were told trans-oceanic communication was best done with messages in bottles and suddenly even those are being intercepted.

Finally time to switch to protonmail.

a3w•1mo ago
Depends on your thread model:

Swiss police can see your proton mail if they get a court to allow viewing it. But the Swiss do not have a submarine, so underwater bottle passing is safe against them.

Combine both, and you are safe! Offline mails in a bottle should be a april fool's RFC any time now.

immibis•1mo ago
We really need to do more adversarial interoperability. There should be a browser or at least a .onion site that blocks ads and bypasses paywalls.

Yes, it would be illegal - just like a great many good things in the past, some of which led to the law being changed.

The Decline of Deviance essay posted here a few days ago says people used to take legal risks a lot more often than they do today.

What beer was it
hulitu•1mo ago
A radler. So no technically a beer. That's why they trew it away.
hulitu•1mo ago
They were lead by a bottle.
