Noah seemed like a chill dude. Man liked his drink, for sure. Loved animals…
Comment on He did though.

He owns a yacht. I’d be interested to hear of a single yacht owner who is a decent person. I’m not sure one exists.

Noah would’ve been a genocide-complicit, doomsday cult prepper, similar to those who build private libertarian cities on the ocean or some planet as a climate adaptation strategy.

Noah was the original Joe Exotic, except with every single exotic pet in existence

Noah brought along mosquitos, the guy is filled with hate
Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Not sure he could have kept them off the boat.

Not sure if you read your history book (the Bible), but he only brought 2 of everything. Including mosquitoes, flies, tardigrades, etc. Everything else died.

Wasn’t he the one that banged his daughters? Idk there was a few of those types in the bible.

Lot.
And actually, to be “fair” to him, his daughters raped him.
As written it’s not strictly his fault. Even if his parenting skills clearly lack.

As written the only person who could have communicated that story is Lot himself. Coming out of the desert with only your two daughters and two babies seems like it might be good motivation to embellish

Some people live on yachts and that’s their entire home. So like a 70,000£ yacht, then like 300£ a month in slip (berth) fees, including electric and whatnot.
It’s a decent alternative to a landlocked home.
But yeah, millionaires with yachts are a different thing.
seth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s a good use case. I’d be interested to know more about the idiosyncrasies that come with that lifestyle, like if they go out to sea when a storm is expected, or just weather it out in the harbor.

They are almost always better in their dock, specifically boats optimised as condos are terrible at sea since open ocean is not in their design brief
Perhaps they might be better up river as far as they can go

This person seems decent. Her and her S.O. live on a 50-year-old 36’ sailboat that they bought for $7000 and refit themselves.
seth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s an excellent exception, and quite interesting. Thanks for the link!

My cousin did this with her wife and they are very decent.
The thing was a floating money pit though and was usually broken down and was sometimes uninhabitable because of various issues.
Then the hull got damaged in a storm when waves banged it against the dock over and over again.
Now they own a nice little house.

My ex-teamlead owns a yacht (if he didn’t sell it). The catch is that yacht is worth about $40 thousands, not $4 millions.
Also there was a person in USSR who built a yacht and circumnavigated the Earth on that, not everyone who do own a yach own that luxury slab of floating gold
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s awfully cheap for a yacht. Did it float?
sukhmel@programming.dev 1 year ago
Somehow the response got lost 🤔
It did float even though it was not new and not spacious. Then again, there are sail sport yachts that may be even cheaper but can’t be used as a home or to navigate an open water.

The one guy who downvoted owns a yacht
