Sea otters can dive down to 600 feet, at that depth the pressure is about 265 psi. So the answer is yes, Steve can perform under pressure.

Sea otters eat 25 percent of their body weight in food every day. Sea otters’ diets include sea urchins, crabs, mussels, and clams, which they’re known to crack open with a rock and eat while floating in the water.

Not just any old rock, sea otters often have favorite rocks they keep in a fold of skin in their armpit.

Sea otters will also rape baby seals to death and keep the corpse for a few weeks to keep fucking until it's too nasty for the otters taste. ☺️

I knew water pressure got high pretty fast, but damn, didn't know it was that fast

I might be off here, but iirc, eater is about 1000 times denser than air, so 10 meters of water gives you the same pressure as the 10 kilometers of air above you. It goes fast.

The metric system, so convenient

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

10 meters of water gets you:

97.78 kPa

0.98 bar

0.96 atm

14.18 psi

733.39 mmHg

28.87 inHg

Got me curious as to what a human could survive. The record is 702 feet, but he was a professional, and he actually did an even deeper dive, 831 feet, but sustained brain damage on the way back up. This is freediving with no breathing apparatus. Most people can only go a maximum of about 60 feet or less.

How do you know it's not a river otter?

Pressure...pushing down on me

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pushing down on you. No man asks for.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Something something grabs ahold of you tightly. Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly.

Pressing down on you

It was probably an I Love the 90s or something like that on VH1 that remixed it with a couple more "ours goes theirs goes ours goes theirs goes" that is stuck in my mind to this day

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Its over 40 years old (yeah you that old) so thats why so many might get lost but Under Pressure

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

TIL that this track featured David Bowie on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I'm 33 and heard this song for the first time on the radio maybe 6 months ago and instantly thought it was Ice Ice Baby. Never realized Ice Ice Baby was sampling a Bowie/Queen song til then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You mean that song that ripped of the guy from SVU?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Probably an instant hire from me if it's pulled off in any significant way...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thought I was in c/otters for a sec.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I sea what you did there 🦦

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Took me a little while. But this is good

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

just like Under Pressure, it's a lot easier to perform with a partner :3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol, but on a serious note if they ask you that question it 100% means the workplace is toxic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Lmao accidentally read this from Steve's perspective and thought "bullshit, that's a fun place to be!.. oh.. wait.. let me read.. oh yeah, horrible."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

is nobody gonna say it? really? you guys realize Steve is a sea otter right? sea otters are the saltwater thugs of the animal kingdom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I just had to say it. it was my destiny and life's work to mention the sea otter

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago
