holy shit, a wind powered ship. what a marvel of modern tech

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago

But wind is unreliable, I'm excited about new hydro powered ships where the crew actually push the ship along using long water-pushing paddles.

Won’t help climate change, crews emit too much methane.

It's not the crew's fault, it's the intensive way they're bred. We need vegan ships.

Vegetables are really bad at rowing though.

The vegetables are in neat rows in every garden I have ever see.

That ship has got to be quite a bit heavier than pre-industrial sail ships though right?
