I’m inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.
The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains” - though I’d think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I’m guessing.
Maybe a fingernail or a bone fragment…
I don’t know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.
In any case, the forces, IIRC, from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They’re fish food.
EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains”.

What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?
Yeah, I’m sick of being Zucc’d, Musk’d, and Spez’d.
Not to say I don’t trust Meta, but I don’t trust them…
Safety schmafety, what could possibly go wrong?
IIRC, the biggest problem in a vacuum is that your lungs work in reverse, expelling oxygen from your bloodstream into the void, so you have about 15 seconds of consciousness with which to panic before you black out.
No, you get the entire community to ignore those shits by banning and defederating.
Yes! Hold the instance owners accountable for allowing that shit to fester and be rebroadcast.
Nine people dining at a table with a Nazi means you have ten Nazis.
Defederate their asses. Fascism is a cancer.
Anyone who’s been on Reddit or Twitter knows what happens if you give those psychopaths an inch.
Deplatforming works. That’s why the chuds whine about it.
Absolutely! Defederation is the prime weapon against these choad warriors.
Fuck fascists, and fuck any instance which would host them!
I just binged The Expanse… Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it’s slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.
Not just the porn subs. A bunch of the weed subs got banned, and the rest got NSFW’d because Mormon Spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disneyland for the IPO. Why if anyone saw a weed post, it’d make an investor wet their magic underwear!
I like this place already!
Over at the Former Place, the admins have the mistaken assumption that Nazis are actually human.
I’ll admit, I did it, I just posted on Reddit. Though to be fair, I joined r/pics’ Sexy John Oliver protest, and put this up.
Let’s see what happens when the 3rd party apps die at the end of the month & moderation goes all to shit. That’s when things get real for more people.
I agree, switchover isn’t going to be instantaneous, but when trolls & fascists start taking over and the collective IQ there drops 30 points, the exodus will accelerate. People won’t go to Reddit for discussions when the threads there assume Youtube quality, and without that, it’s just another doomscrolling app.
And when I switch from Local to All, the thing just keeps slapping stories onto the top of the feed while I’m trying to read, makes the site impossible to use.
Definitely needs a fix!
I remember reading Bluesky’s blurbs about tagging services (that’s apparently a thing with the AT protocol). For example, the SPLC could operate a tagging service, which can tag instances, communities, individual users, threads, etc. with an SPLC-certified “HATE” tag, and server admins could set their instances to automatically delete or block anything with that tag, and users can automatically block anything with that tag.
Nice thing is that in accordance with decentralization, if a tagging service gets overzealous, or gets compromised by bad actors, it’s easy for users to move elsewhere.
It would have been sufficiently terrifying… You’d be hearing the hull pop, groan, and creak, then the laptops used to drive the boat start lighting up with “DANGER! HULL INTEGRITY FAILURE!”, followed by Stockton frantically grabbing that video game controller to drop the ballast, do an emergency blow, but it’s already too late… You don’t know how long before you get turned into shark chum, but the suspense…
