@Netzblockierer@tech.lgbt Ah good point. (I was just repeating the website though, I didn't calculate any of this myself) Still, the point being, O(100m) is a far cry from O(height of Mount Everest) 😆 #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @mxchara@seattle.pink Yeah fair point, thanks for sharing. I certainly could have done without a lot of the parts that were problematic from a gender perspective, but that sort of thing doesn't typically ruin a movie. (Sometimes it would. Depends on how bad it is.) I felt like Waterworld took a kinda nonsense premise and created a relatively coherent story from it - like, for the most part, if I overlook the lack of realism in a fully water-covered world, it does make some sense to me why the characters were making the decisions they did and why events were happening as they did in Waterworld, whereas in Solarbabies I couldn't fathom why most things were happening. That's probably the biggest factor for me personally, at least when comparing these two movies. Granted, that's because all the stuff that would make a movie actually good was missing from both 😅 #Monsterdon #SolarBabies #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

@mxchara@seattle.pink 🎉 yeah honestly not bad this week (I mean the viewing experience, not the movies of course) (although actually Waterworld was kinda fine compared to our usual fare) #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

P.S. the implication being that it has been long enough for a previously glacial mountain peak to begin to erode, develop a soil layer and a beach, and grow trees. So, a pretty darn tootin' long time. I'm sure they rigorously considered all this in the making of the movie. /s #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

Fun fact, if all the ice on Earth melted, it would raise sea level by 70 meters. So pretty much the only place there would have been a significant population of people who used to live on land and would now be nowhere near it is... Florida y'know that kind of makes sense https://vividmaps.com/if-polar-ice-caps-completely-melted/ #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

@plaidtron3000@jorts.horse Presumably the Mariner can visit other "atolls" and lead people to dryland. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995

So I guess this is what Mount Everest or something turned into but seriously though, if the world is covered in water enough that nobody knows where land is anymore, it's gotta be deep enough that this used to be a mountain peak #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld1995
