Spanish climate activists sprayed red paint across a superyacht owned by billionaire Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie in Barcelona on Friday, the second time the yacht has been the target of protests in the past two months.

    How do you sink a boat that big? Get a drill that can work under water? Explosives are too hard to make. Maybe burn it with a Molotov?

        I suppose if your goal is mere spite, making it no longer an enjoyable benefit for her to have a personal yacht would be a win.

      Underwater cutting torch. Edit: now I’m bullshitting. No idea whether somebody would get sucked into the hole or whether there are underwater cutting rigs that don’t rely on surface support.

        Yeah you wouldn’t even have to make a circle, just hold it there for a little bit.

        Maybe make a few in different places.

        I’d go with a thermite fire started by a drone. Much easier to do and harder to stop. Enough thermite will burn all the way through the boat, burning it and sinking it all at once.

            It wouldn’t work for Ukraine because their Drones are being shot at. For a super yacht sitting on a private marina? Totally would work. A couple pounds of thermite and a flair that can be remotely ignited. Land it on the deck press the button, it’ll burn to the haul before they even get the hoses.

              Hmmm. I guess for this mental exercise i was thinking of the way to do it that would def land your ass in jail if caught but would avoid bonus penalty charges for things that spectacularly go kaboom for political reasons.

      Obviously the classics are still known for a reason. Everyone is saying fire but I think if we put our heads together we could summon the kraken.
