Why don't they make way more of these massive ships and have people live on them

it's only for richfags

>>214774586
no it's not there are a bunch of old people who live in cruise ships year round and its cheaper than rent

Like 40 percent of the people on those ships are dumb violent niggers who pooled their money to get a group rate for cheap.

Horrible breeding grounds for disease and infection. Look up the "poop cruise" and you will never set foot on a cruise again.
Been through a mass spread of stomach bugs myself on a Sweden/Finland cruise.

It’s not really feasible to have people live on them long term since they’d have to resupply frequently and also they’re kind of shit, cramped quarters and full of disease. I think it would turn into Rapture.

>>214774564 (OP)
Other than what everyone mentioned they are also horrible for the local environment and they'd quickly ruin ecosystems beyond repair in just months

>>214774564 (OP)
you couldn't sustain continous living on those, for many reasons

They're okay with dying if they get seriously ill?

I know the right guy to pilot that.

>>214774564 (OP)
The fact that these things are still around tells me boomers are not dying at an adequate rate.

I find these ferries depressing as fuck I can't really articulate why, feels like a retirement home on water, just drunks and gambling addicts, the ferries just feel so sterile, labubu backrooms type vibe on these mfs, boomer relic destined to disappear in the coming decades, scrapped and forgotten, good riddance

you can hop into one of these for just like a few hundred euros.

Some times I've wondered about the true enviromental impact of cruise ships people talk aboout so much. I mean it's true that locally they are quite horrible, but at the same time they hold like 5000 people that otherwise would all be flying, driving and travelling anyways most likely all over the place. I mean, probably overall the impact is the same or even less considering they are all packed together relatively efficiently.
I feel like it's kind of like comparing sprawling suburbs to a single commieblock. They hold the same people but one of them holds all these people in a single localised place.

you can build on land for cheaper, even if you had to build the land first like in Singapore and Netherlands.

I bet it's some promotional lifetime ticket the company the company never expected to actually be used as unlimited lifetime ticket and now the company can't legally wiggle out of it.

>>214774564 (OP)
Talk to someone has been on a cruise about what it's like. Ignore all the "it was lovely" and make them give you an hour by hour recaps of their trip.
Shit sounds like limbo.

>>214774564 (OP)
They should serve as a prison.

>>214774564 (OP)
cause boats are like 10x as expensive as land.

on land, any piece of dirt is already a floor. dig a hole and you have the start of the basement/foundation.

on the ocean, you need to spend millions on the hull and ensure enough water is displaced to stay afloat

not to mention engines and all those expenses

This is what we believed in the 90s, the 00s, the 10s

they decay and have to be scrapped after 10-20 years I think and they cost way too much
also humans can't live at sea forever even assuming infinite supplies
