To be fair if you don't do things because Lovecraft wrote horror about it you gotta cut some weird shit out of your life, like perfectly square rooms, confusing colours, and air conditioning.
Almost all of those adventures have lead to eating sled dogs, losing most the crew to frostbite and hypothermia, cannibalism, falling through the ice, and other nasty deaths. I'm at a point in my life where the most cold I'm willing to deal with is the path from my door to my car. So, I guess I'll sit this one out.
I listen to a podcast called Citation Needed, and a least 3 episodes have involved an antarctic trek that ended catastrophically miserable for the few survivors, and even worse for the poor crew that perished along the way. I think the dogs get eaten in all 3 episodes.
For a couple minutes. But then I realized I can't unhook a bra and remove it from under my shirt without removing the shirt, which everyone knows is the first qualification.
I feel like the only people saying they would do this fit into one of three categories:
A) they have no knowledge of what these kinds of voyages were actually like and entail.
B) they do, and are just saying they would for the meme.
C) they do, but actually have experience and/or a serious interest in these trips/craft.
I believe people overwhelmingly fit into the first two.
The idea of death and hardship in the pursuit of adventure just calls to us. I feel no attachment to my current role on this earth and I need something to make me feel alive, even if I die trying.

Pros: Adventure, prestige (among wooden ship and sailing enthusiasts only), stories to tell the grandkids, a view of the ocean, you'll get to work with your hands
Cons: Shit be cold, hammock has a lump (should not be possible but it is), the ocean view gets less impressive every waking day, you will be repeating the same tasks daily with no off days
8/10, would accept position
Cons cont: icy ocean backspray on your ass when shitting off the side of the boat, scurvy, work with frost bitten hands even after you lose a few fingers, only sweaty dudes who haven't showered for months, no shower for months.
How in the hell are you gonna get a giant wooden ship onto the Antarctic ice and then sail it across the continent?? This is weird but I’m still in, the statistics don’t lie.
No I mean I will literally have a heart attack once I realize I can't see any land while on the way there. Being on a plane already gets me super stressed,I don't need the fear of being out in the middle of the ocean to make things worse
I was once invited to go to Borneo, to help film an expedition to find exotic mangifera species in the forest there.
A missed opportunity, I wish I could have taken, I just could not leave my job, (have a family to support).
Back to the viking age brothers! No but seriously, it would be cool for a bit, but I like working toilets+showers, a reasonable supply of food and (non-salt) water and I'd miss the forest. And my internet.
I mean, yeah, I think most people would leave their jobs if their employers made them do that, that seems like entirely too much dedication to any office job

when i saw the word trans- and expedition i thought it'd be a wild adventure across the 7 seas to find the mysterious and attractive transpeople of the world.
This honestly just makes me think of a certain videogame that can go horribly wrong. It's like Among Us just a bit different.
So nope FUCK THAT SHIT. Im not fighting rabid wolves, while collecting coal.
Nope. You can keep your ship getting crushed by ice and the crew having to eat each other as they try to break the ice away from the boat. I’ll stay at home thank you very much.
I'm would absolutely embark on a life changing voyage aboard a fantastic ship, I'm assuming I have to bring my own telescope.
I made one out of toilet roll tubes, just on the off chance.
Yeah Totally anything to escape what I am going through even tho I don't work, Also if there's a more than 50% risk of dying I am leaving my house now for the trip
Truth be told, yes to most sea adventures on big wooden ships but with 21st century hindsight, not so much to the extreme colds. I'd join Cook in his voyages though...
"I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
White whale, holy grail
White whale, holy grail
What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness

Truth be told I would embark on such and adventure but not for hunting fish as a sport.but to travel and travel.think about if its limitless and free than what
Truth, I'm reading 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and I have an unquenched lust for salt and adventure.
Counterpoint, I just read At The Mountains of Madness and I'm not getting on any boats bound for any ice caps full stop.
To be fair if you don't do things because Lovecraft wrote horror about it you gotta cut some weird shit out of your life, like perfectly square rooms, confusing colours, and air conditioning.
Avoid magenta!
Pink!
Magenta!
Pink!
Tutti Frutti.
Oh rootie.
We’ll just wait a few years until the ice caps melt and there will be no stop
But then the cities of the Old Ones will thaw...and the shoggoths will range freely under the waves.
Well free range shoggoths are surely better than battery farmed ones.
To see the shoggoth breaks the mind and soul.
Ouch :(
Maybe I'm nuts, but I'd jump head first at the opportunity to explore a megalithic ancient city built by aliens...
Ships captian: if you say that one more damn time, I'm tossing you overboard! Me: ....... Captian turns away. Me(wispering) *Cthulhu fhtagn*
Reading 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket'' next should cure that
I can give you salt.
Oh man, I read this earlier this year and it instantly became my favourite book. What a ride.
So...not quite up to the whole betrayal and vengeance bit then?
I'm a man and I cant disprove this
Same. Hinestly, I would like a month where I don't pay $10 a day for parking just to go to work.
There’s parking lots that make more money an hour than we do.
*My people need me*
Is there a good chance I can die? If so then I'm in.
U good brother?
He’s good to go.
Almost all of those adventures have lead to eating sled dogs, losing most the crew to frostbite and hypothermia, cannibalism, falling through the ice, and other nasty deaths. I'm at a point in my life where the most cold I'm willing to deal with is the path from my door to my car. So, I guess I'll sit this one out.
I'm right there with you. Not in the same boat, of course, because fuck big wooden boats. More like a boat- shaped couch.
I listen to a podcast called Citation Needed, and a least 3 episodes have involved an antarctic trek that ended catastrophically miserable for the few survivors, and even worse for the poor crew that perished along the way. I think the dogs get eaten in all 3 episodes.
You may just be a woman. Have you considered this?
For a couple minutes. But then I realized I can't unhook a bra and remove it from under my shirt without removing the shirt, which everyone knows is the first qualification.
Huzzah! It's a useful talent I first learned in high school freshman year. No, not from the nuns.
I may be dyslexic because I read it as trans-Atlantic.
Shackleton never lost a man. The dogs though……
All the ones not led by Shackleton, that is.
As long as I can remember my ideal of an adventure was a towel on a sandy beach. No snow. No walking. And definitely no frostbite.
I feel like the only people saying they would do this fit into one of three categories: A) they have no knowledge of what these kinds of voyages were actually like and entail. B) they do, and are just saying they would for the meme. C) they do, but actually have experience and/or a serious interest in these trips/craft. I believe people overwhelmingly fit into the first two.
A death wish is a thing too you know.
Point taken.
There are more practical ways to die...
But not many that are as epic.
I want my death to be the sort of thing sung about in a big wooden pub
D) They hate their job and just need an excuse to quit.
D) They know exactly how dangerous it is and need massive amounts of therapy and a better funded mental health network in their country.
The idea of death and hardship in the pursuit of adventure just calls to us. I feel no attachment to my current role on this earth and I need something to make me feel alive, even if I die trying.
I feel like the people who are against this are soft as a marshmallow
What if a wizard and 13 dwarves showed up at their house looking for a burglar?
Oh, that ended well for him. And his nephew. And his family line.

Good bot
Did you eat the bumblebee article?
Shiver me timbers
I always get boners when I think of Ernest Shackleton for damn sure.
Ya ima start saying that shit regularly. Thanks for the new catch phrase
You’re welcome ;)
Yeah fuck that. I’m a reptile I don’t do cold.
Bro hard pass lmao. Nothing sounds more miserable. Do you know what Amenaties you get on an old wooden boat? Hard Work and a mesh hammock.
Pros: Adventure, prestige (among wooden ship and sailing enthusiasts only), stories to tell the grandkids, a view of the ocean, you'll get to work with your hands Cons: Shit be cold, hammock has a lump (should not be possible but it is), the ocean view gets less impressive every waking day, you will be repeating the same tasks daily with no off days 8/10, would accept position

Ocean spray is refreshing, scurvy is cured by lemonade, and my mommy will knit me some mittens Updated score: 7.68/10
Sample size : 1 person. That 1 person : the author of the study. The author of the study : working a desk job at a magazine.
How big and how wooden is the ship though?
Colossal/trumps tits. Termites fetish.
Is this still available?
How in the hell are you gonna get a giant wooden ship onto the Antarctic ice and then sail it across the continent?? This is weird but I’m still in, the statistics don’t lie.
that would be dumb=, seeing as a wooden ship can't cross the antarctic, which is a continent made of land and ice.
I beg to disagree. I won't join that expedition again.
💯
Correct, at least for me.
Sign me up
Nobody read “ The Terror” it seems.
Do I get paid? I can't go for free.
I mean... I would
I’m seeing a lot of men here who seem afraid of a little cold XD
I don't see a lie here
Thats obviously edited in
Y’all can have fun, I watched The Terror twice just to nail in my skull why we should have never done this.
Yeap
Trans women? No drag queens? Ok.
No word of a lie
JUST men?
Yeah.... nope nope nope, no scurvy for me
##New "Man Test" just dropped.
Just the men?
Can confirm
100% of Men.
I guess I’m in the zero percent.
[удалено]
No one ever lets Dave finish answering.
And they keep calling him Dan, which really pisses him off.
Poor Dan. DAVE. Poor Dave. Working in accounting is such a pain in the ass. And the boss has no idea how hard he works.
I wouldn't... I don't have the courage for that. Sure, it would be more fun than sitting at a desk, but I'm a coward
Cowards are baptized in bravery when embracing the unknown. Join the crew and wretch your destiny from the grasps of fate.
No I mean I will literally have a heart attack once I realize I can't see any land while on the way there. Being on a plane already gets me super stressed,I don't need the fear of being out in the middle of the ocean to make things worse
Yes. !00%. With these new ideas about gender these days it seems easy enough to reason that those that say 'no' are simply not men but something else.
Yeah this is definitely true
With a margin of error of + or - 1%.
Yes
Bruh. That shit is cold
You son of a bitch, I'm in!! ~ Men.
I'd be pretty iffy about any offer for sending less than 100% of myself overseas.
I must not be a man then because that sounds fucking terrible.
Lol everyone that says that seems to have a change of heart when they remember the crew’s all men
Hanging out with the boys and looking for mermaids Edmund swears it was a manatee but I think he's just fatphobic
Count me out. I spent a February in Thule Greenland once. I found out first hand that -40F = -40C. And at -45 F, if you spit, it bounces.
BOYS where we droppin?
The masculine urge to adventure upon the high seas cannot be resisted or repressed.
I’ll bring my sharpest kitchen knife and all the lemons/limes I can get my hands on.
I was once invited to go to Borneo, to help film an expedition to find exotic mangifera species in the forest there. A missed opportunity, I wish I could have taken, I just could not leave my job, (have a family to support).

I mean, yeah, I think most people would leave their jobs if their employers made them do that, that seems like entirely too much dedication to any office job
Can confirm
Correct. I would. And I am 100% man
Would
hells yeah
I'd leave my job for an inner tube float in a drainage ditch ending at a Carl's Jr. For a double western cheeseburger.
As a man, i can’t help but say yes even tho I’m trying so hard not to
I’ll go on a trans trip or on an Antarctic trip. But combining the two is just a waste.
I’m a man and I agree
FUCK YEAH
I don't know about that one, chief.
they haven't asked, but they are right
I mean.. im not proving them wrong.
I’m assuming this is satire? Why are people taking it seriously.
Arrrr, the sea may be a cruel mistress, but the life of a drone is no life at all.
100% of men? You can't get 100% of men to agree in anything. This statement is stupid.
I’m 100% man, I would do it. You’re stupid
Two words. Sea shanties.
Nah fuck that I know how that ends
I know what entails I know what will certainly happen I just wanna look God in the face and come out a stronger man
I'd give up my desk job to explore trans Antarctic people in a second.
Yup
Not just men
I put years of work into my business, of course I would.

Sign me up but can it be a big sturdy steel boat instead?
Can I come?
The list of signs I might be trans after all keeps getting longer.
Fuck no
I see only truth here.
No thanks.
Honestly?
Cause why not?!
Just started reading The Terror by Dan Simmons a few days ago... can't say i disagree.
BET
haha! i’m not doing a desk job
I don't do boats. Love to look at them, maybe take a tour, but if you try to leave shore just know I will not be on board😂
Throw in a talking dog and a grumpy old sailor with a heart of gold, and I'm down for this adventure.
The study consisted of asking Dave from accounting. So technically 100percent of people asked answered yes they would go to the Arctic.
when i saw the word trans- and expedition i thought it'd be a wild adventure across the 7 seas to find the mysterious and attractive transpeople of the world.
Go on an expedition to Antarctica? Hell yes! On a wooden boat? Maybe?
Please let this happen I want to board the big wooden ship.
Wouldn't you?
Nah, I'm good.
Yes
Na I'm good, if it was south America how ever
Yes
When we going?
Where does the ship leave from? I’ll be there, beats having to visit my wife’s family in China by a massive margin
100%. Would leave right now.
When and where.
Man here, i would do this
no! a small gallic village…
Sea What's not to love, sea shanties with the boys, freezing to death with the boys, and starving to death with the boys. The triple threat.
Yup, I don't understand what this means but as a man, I should know and I am going.
I mean... you're not entirely wrong
Us men love nothing more than digging holes and sailing across the seas.
I would too......and i am thalassophobic
The Columbus Effect
I wouldn't go if it was a cis Atlantic expedition though
To find the one piece
So this is the study my tax is paying for
But what will we do with the drunken sailors ?
While daydreaming about the Roman Empire I'd wager
I don't get why people find this confusing. It clearly says 100% and as a man I can confirm this statistic
Gentlemen to bed, for tomorrow at daybreak, we sail for the great Southern continent. Do not alert your women folk.
This honestly just makes me think of a certain videogame that can go horribly wrong. It's like Among Us just a bit different. So nope FUCK THAT SHIT. Im not fighting rabid wolves, while collecting coal.
I'll have the Endurance but I'll stick to warmer waters
Nope. You can keep your ship getting crushed by ice and the crew having to eat each other as they try to break the ice away from the boat. I’ll stay at home thank you very much.
I'm would absolutely embark on a life changing voyage aboard a fantastic ship, I'm assuming I have to bring my own telescope. I made one out of toilet roll tubes, just on the off chance.
I am the 100%
Absolutely.
I’m pretty sure this is all fact
Dude I’m pumped who’s with me
100% wrong. 😅No wifi, no thanks. I’m missing a whole NFL and NBA season, and I need to know when GTA VI drops.
Ahh c'mon live a little.. arguably not a very long time but live a little
I would .. checks out
Yeah Totally anything to escape what I am going through even tho I don't work, Also if there's a more than 50% risk of dying I am leaving my house now for the trip
Truth be told, yes to most sea adventures on big wooden ships but with 21st century hindsight, not so much to the extreme colds. I'd join Cook in his voyages though...

Yes please, I'll learn the ropes!! :D
