Antarctica is a continent, you can’t send a sub underneath it. Ran discovered previously unseen structures beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.
The Arctic is covered in floating ice, you can send subs under it. Well, it’s covered at the moment, climate change is working on changing all that.
And why would you define a continent to only include rock?
I mean, the definition of a continent is a landmass. We don’t count the ice shelves in Canada or Greenland either.
Sure we do. Do you not consider Glacier National Park a part of North America?
They are not part of the continental land mass, even though they are geographically located on the continent called North America. But the Arctic is not a continent because there is no land mass.
Your mom’s not a continent
That sounded a lot better in my head
“Beneath” here just means “beneath the surface of.” You’re being deliberately obtuse.
I don’t see how you are coming to the conclusion that a. that is the meaning of “beneath” in this context and b. how that is a relevant point in this discussion.
Also, “deliberately” is just a dumb, unfounded accusation. Wtf makes you think people would purposefully misunderstand you in such an irrelevant discussion and that I am acting with that intent in this instance?
You’re over here arguing about what continents are and you’re gonna call the other poster obtuse?
Yes.
Protip: Read the article before you out yourself as a moron for not understanding that they are talking about structural features of melting polar ice.
Ya can’t stop the fun train with simple facts. /s
Jokes on you, I read the article and I’m STILL gonna out myself as a moron! Checkmate Evangelathiests!
“In the east and center, Ran saw icy terraces stacked like steps, while the west looked smoother, with channels and scooped depressions.”
icy terraces = ancient cities beyond comprehension, thank you very much.
Channels and scooped depressions?
Sooo…aqueducts to put the Romans to shame?
Herpa derp derp
OMG finally we can get off this fucking sinking rock. Chevron one encoded!
Chevron 2 encoded
Chevron 3 encoded
…am I doing it right? What’s a chevron? Did I do a thing?
Chevron 4 encoded
The chevrons are the symbols on the Stargate. We need 7 of them to travel to another planet.
Chevron 5 encoded! Let’s gooooooo
Chevron 6… Encoded
Unscheduled offworld activation
It’s fucking Baal again
Chevron 7 Locked
Oh thank god. For a while there I thought I was stuck on this planet with assholes like elon musk, and trump.
Ok, so, this new planet we’re going to…do they have bacon? Or should we find some left leaning farmers to bring some pigs for breeding?
Look, I’m excited to leave this hellhole called earth, but, c’mon. We gotta bring bacon.
But we don’t have to bring pedophiles, or fascists. That’s why we’re leaving earth to begin with.
Sorry, Thor says meat eating is primitive and we have to leave the Bacon on Earth

Wrong story, more like “Tekeli-li”
That thing looks a bit like a giant red squid.
Do you think an actual giant red squid would know it wasn’t?
That device is now at the bottom of the sea after a squid made sweet love to it. 🐙 🦑
This could also be the alternate plot to Iron Lung
My theory: companies secretly violating international treaties to extract resources from below the ice floor
Get yer P-90s ready, boys. We’re about to go snake huntin’
P-90s? Hell no, grab the flamethrowers and the dynamite!
Maybe it’s just their dicks
I wish you’d les with unmanned, but then id’ve never clicked the article
You spent seven years on MacGyver and you can’t figure this one out?
Antarctica is a continent made of rock.
Not entirely actually! I just learned earlier today (Wikipedia) that “if its ice is considered not as land, but as water, it is not a single landmass, but several landmasses of much smaller area, since the ice-bedrock boundary is below sea level in many regions of the continent”
TIL that glacier ice is considered a type of mono-mineralic rock: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/glacier-ice-a-type-rock
So did I! Thanks!
There is no “beneath antartica”. Antarctica is a continent. That would be like “beneath north america”. The best you can do is under one of the ice sheets.
Well… beneath North America is a massive super volcano, so…
Apparently Antarctica isn’t even contiguous. But most of the time, that means beneath the ice on the border of Antarctica.
How tf, I just watched the movie last night again after like 8 years and a meme pops up??
Which movie is it?
Cabin in the Woods
I know this is a meme sub
Then why did you comment? You know that everyone who saw this meme chuckled, and then either went “probably bullshit” and moved on, or googled it, found out it’s click bait and moved on. You accomplish nothing but giving yourself a soap box.
Then why did you comment?
Because the OP shared a bad source, some people might want to read about this event (I did, which is why I read this), and this is the original source and open-access. Like goddamn; did the submarine disappear because it went up your ass?
If you can’t look at that source, read it for 5 seconds and realize it’s a shithole rag of disinformation and conspiracy theories, then you probably should be relying on other people to parse information for you. If you can’t find another source on the same information by using your thumbs, then you may want to get off the internet altogether. OP clearly wasn’t trying to fool anyone or spread disinformation, it’s a meme and you losers are in here demanding a better bibliography.
If you can’t look at that source, read it for 5 seconds and realize it’s a shithole rag of disinformation and conspiracy theories
Those people are only going to improve their media literacy when they can compare and contrast what good and bad sources look like – whether they do that on their own or with help from someone else. While that muscle is still underdeveloped in so many people, is it obscene to you to just help them a little?
If you can’t find another source on the same information by using your thumbs
Centralizing the information means less wasted work. I’d bet I can do the research you can do in an hour in ten minutes, and my actual decade-long hobby is making research easier for others; I don’t need this lecture.
demanding a better bibliography.
“Demanding” is when you just do the thing yourself immediately and unprompted without asking anything from anybody.
Bro we’re in a meme subreddit and you’re writing walls of text. Touch grass.
The comment I was replying to was 89 words. I wrote 116 and only used your quotes to establish what I was replying to. If you consider 116 words a wall of text worthy of ridicule, then I think you’re projecting about who the illiterate morons who shouldn’t be on the Internet are here. You should get off the Internet and pay attention; Mr. Winkler is trying to teach you and the other 4th-graders how to use context clues and what the three-syllable word “demanding” means.
Bro actually counted the words lmfao. Touching grass isn’t enough, you might be a lost cause.
