The thing with Shad fitting all the way in the barrel, remember that the dwarves are shorter than a human so they would have an easier time and probably be more comfortable.

[@benkayvfalsifier3817]

Even dwarves wouldn't be able to do it. It's not so much the entity inside the barrel as it is the barrel's shape. The point-of-balance of the barrel is center of its side because that is the largest area. It would be better if they had a larger barrel and cut it down the center. I guarentee it would float better.

[@SamnissArandeen]

Where did the dwarves get the oxygen if they were sealed in the barrel?

[@cyryl3827]

@@SamnissArandeen I think a regular sized chest has enough oxygen to keep you alive for a dozen hours. A barrel should be similar. but i think they were also in those barrels for a bit longer than that.

@@cyryl3827 minus the space taken up by the being within, and failing to account for the exhaled CO2 increasing in concentration as time passes causing carbon dioxide poisoning. Apollo 13 ran into similar problems (plenty of oxygen, also plenty of carbon dioxide), hence the famous scene in the film adaptation where they make a new scrubber out of duct tape.

[@tmonkeyking2424]

Depending on the source, dwarves are much shorter, and may or may not be heavier than adult humans... but they would certainly have a much lower center of gravity that would sit below the water line, which would do a lot to keep the barrel upright (especially if they weren't constantly trying to poke their heads out). The trick Shad & co use here - adding water to the barrel - does basically this same thing by adding more weight to the bottom of the barrel. Arguably, a hobbit would have a much worse time of it due to not having as much weight to keep the barrel upright.

I'm actually considering that now after seeing how frickin good he made it look. Normally I avoid nearly anything pre packaged etc.. I buy quarters and halves of cattle straight from farms/butcheries/slaughterhouses, as with lamb and turkey. I never ever buy it frozen. (I share/split the money with friends and family so we all have something where we know it came from). Our grocery stores, as the above is not possible all the time, tend to stock local produce and meat anyhow, very very little is imported crap. That 'pre seasoned' crap causes me to feel sick etc etc.. Don't even say 'hamburger helper or sidekicks pasta' to me. NO. But this actually looked like something that no joke looks perfectly fine and tasty and healthy. But with my countries rules, I don't even think foot items are legal to import anyhow. If so, there would be a fuckton of custom's stuff to contend with. But buying stuff like electronics from overseas is fine as that's frankly, where most is made anyhow. Actual manufacture is nearly gone in my country aside from chemicals for mining and paper production and medications, as well as a tiny automotive industry. Farming. That is huge. No food shortage here. No shopping bans for actual essentials and anything else can be shipped via Amazon.ca anyhow. We even have major radio control components suppliers so no need for that to spend TWO EFFING MONTHS TO COME FROM NEW YORK.. which from my parent's house, where I can just drive 3.5 hours too. Spend the night and come home.. Is an effing 5 hour drive for my dad who to this day still drives a truck because he loves the job. You get the idea of the sorta place I live and how I was raised if I find that food tasty. I'm almost like Shad minus the Latter Day Saints part of the Jesus Christ thing. Proud non denominational Christian here. I've got a lotta respect for the dude tho, even growing up as an effing junkie due to the childhood depression due to a random pedophile thing.

[@thethiefmaster]

Real wooden ships, which due to their masts are very tall and unstable in water, have ballast in order to stay upright - an open topped barrel like this is basically a strangely shaped tall boat, so the same applies. A person in a barrel is not good ballast - we're nearly the same density as water. The ballast has to be *denser* than water to counteract the air that's also in there. Otherwise, the part of the barrel below the surface will have a net density of below that of water and it will rise and tip.

@@tannerchaffin9235 Technically... we're "Latter-Day Saints" as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (yes it is quite long), but we used to call ourselves LDS for short and the world calls us Mormons because of the book (Mormon was an ancient prophet and he also compiled and edited the writings contained in the book that were later translated by Joseph Smith). We fairly recently started pushing the full name rather than the abbreviation because too many people think we're not Christians, which we absolutely are. :D And no need for quotation marks... the site is official.

@@BeeWhistler I tried to hedge my bets a bit by using quotation marks just in case the website was for a local group or something; for instance, my church doesn't have an official site for each version of it around the country. I also only said LDS because it was much faster than typing out the whole thing multiple times lol. I'm a non-denominational Christian, so I was trying to avoid including too much in terms of your belief system since I've probably heard things that are mischaracterizations or exaggerations and I didn't want to promulgate that if it wasn't accurate. Mostly I've known people who attend a church of LDS (just abreviating for speed), and they self-identified as mormon, so I assumed that most people in that group would.
