Cruise Ships Against God : Well There's Your Problem | ANIMATED

November and Liam lose their minds as Justin reads out a list of amenities aboard the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship.

• Well There's Your Prob...

[@TheMaestroso]

Cruise ships might be the worst transportation ever invented. Not because they *don't* work as intended, but because they *do*

[@CamstonIsland]

I'd barely call them a mode of transport, you just stay on them without really doing much off the ship. With so many amenities, anywhere you get off at will be a downgrade, at least if you're the type of person who _would_ go on a cruise in the first place.

[@magic_pink_horse]

Justin not stopping the description while the gang is losing their minds is the best ❤

[@CamstonIsland]

It pairs beautifully with the outrageous extravagance on display

[@MarylandFarmer.]

An aquatic tower of babel comes to mind when they bring god into it

[@CamstonIsland]

Not much of an ark though, too high of a centre of gravity.

[@falloutghoul1]

You left out the best part, November calling the robot bartender a Vending Machine.

I couldn’t find a way to get to it seamlessly without adding another minute to the runtime of yet more Crossfire-esque shouting

Ah yes, Via Rail tablet. If you thought your knockoff not-an-iPad was bad, this one is slow, unreliable, expensive, and still has to give way to the 10,000 car unit running the entire agricultural product of Saskatchewan to a port on the East coast.

[@CamstonIsland]

The tablet equivalent of that is turning off wifi connectivity because someone somewhere in the country is using a dialup modem.

[@Spanderson99]

And despite it having a touch screen, the OS is entirely text-based apart from the on-screen keyboard, complete with funcion keys.

[@FlintTD]

The robot bartenders make two drinks per minute???? I've seen human bartenders make 5 drinks per minute. I guess human bartenders want to get paid...

[@CamstonIsland]

Yeah, but if you don’t like the pace of getting served by a vending machine that looks like it was stolen from a car factory for ants, you can just go to any of the several other booze spots they are sure to have every 30 feet.

Liam and November getting progressively enraged as they go down the list of amenities is one of the all-time great moments of WTYP history.

Are the shilouettes of the rock climbing wall intentional or just a coincidence?

Cruise ships are basically 15 minute cities according to wing-nuts, except you pay for it and have servants (and possibly seasickness)

[@CamstonIsland]

15 minute cities according to people who listen to wingnut talking points and go 'aww hell yeah!'

[@relwalretep]

Thanks for the suggestion- I might at some point, but I'd probably prefer to take the Patreon route rather than KZbin channel memberships at some nebulous point in the future- but I guess there's no stopping me from double dipping...

[@jeremysmith7176]

So what I got is the Tower of babel was the ancient equivalent of a modern cruise ship and most certainly had several swimming pools , a zip line, and a theater. Also it was the fourth rock wall that went over the line and was the impetus for God confusing the peoples languagess.

[@CamstonIsland]

It was when they stopped climing rock walls to deliver building materials and started doing it for fun that God was like 'that's it, I'm inventing the Italian language'

[@michimatsch5862]

Attack and dethrone god is such a specific phrase that I swear I have heard before in a game or something?

[@CamstonIsland]

It comes from the manifesto of a 1970s militant organization called the Weather Underground that Fox News put on screen during the George Floyd Protests, after which it became a meme briefly enough to become part of November's lexicon.

[@joearnold6881]

As someone who tended bar, yeah two drinks a minute is pretty slow

[@CamstonIsland]

Turns out cruise ships aren’t emulating the lavishness of 1920s ocean liners- they’re going for early modern era century voyages of discovery, but with fauna slightly smaller and deadlier than dodos.

So am I, but I couldn’t figure out how to jump to that part seamlessly without including more difficult to animate incoherence for another minute.

I went on a cruise once to Havana, in the short span of time we Americans could do so. Luckily, it was one of the older, smaller ships in Norwegian’s fleet, so by a few metrics (as in compared to Carnival’s flagship) it wasn’t nearly as bloated and horrific as it could have been. Overall cruise ships to me are 4/10 and we’d do a lot better with just the traditional ocean liners restored, I daresay also as a budget alternative to transoceanic flights.

[@CamstonIsland]

I wonder how much faster you could make modern ocean liners to make them competitive enough against airliners. What would a CityNerd-esque curve on that look like?

[@DiamondKingStudios]

@@CamstonIsland I would be satisfied if ocean liners remained at SS _United States_ speeds (40 mph or around there); the main benefit would be capacity, even if it would still be slower than planes every time. Each one needs to be large enough to carry thousands in relative comfort over a few days’ journey, and if departing from port every four hours might be able to carry a lot of people. We might be able to bring tickets down to $10 one-way.
