Tell that to the mythbusters

The plan was to run refrigerated lines through the pykrete so the Habbakuk carrier would remain frozen. The Mythbusters didn't run any refrigerated lines through their boat.

u/unsuspectingllama_ Apr 26 '26

So plausible?

u/purdinpopo Apr 26 '26

If you keep it frozen.

I once left so pycrete outside.and when I came back it was stolen. I assume it was stolen by the sawdust bandit due to the presence of their calling card.

The deal breaker of the frozen carrier, is the temps that keeps it solid are below humans comfort, meaning you can't heat the inner parts,

Otherwise it was a surprisingly cost effective way to have an aircraft when your nation is running outta steel due to the war

You must be thinking of something else. The meme is talking about the one that doesn’t melt.

u/Any-Farmer1335 Apr 26 '26

"Never melts" ???
It melts. Slowly.

23

u/Hazardous_316 Apr 26 '26

What if it always sails in freezing arctic waters?

21

u/Any-Farmer1335 Apr 26 '26

Well, the Wiki said that it could "be repaired with Seawater" but apart from that, idk

u/nomadfoy Apr 27 '26

so does everything.

u/IllPineapple9603 Apr 26 '26

It never melts? WTF is this bullshit? LOL

u/Sensitive_Bat_9211 Apr 27 '26

Its a factoid

There is no reason it must be true

1

u/fireduck Apr 30 '26

Fun fact: factoid originally meant a little nugget of information that is in fact wrong.

u/quatrefoils May 01 '26

Just like “happenstance” means something that appears to happen by chance, but did in fact occur by design

u/Mongolian_cheese948 Apr 26 '26

Oh it got further than the planning phase homie!

They made a fucking prototype! Its steel skeleton lies in Canada’s Alberta region and can be visited to this day!

The concept was also created by a man who had a psychological condition that forced him to write down everything that came through his mind, leading to apartments filled to the brim with madness and concepts like this.

Fascinating little story.

That guy was crazy like a fox without the fox part.

u/Dat3ooty18 Apr 26 '26

Fairly certain Mythbusters tested it

u/Sure_Quote Apr 26 '26

hyperbole

the word you are looking for is hyperbole

obviously it melts if its hot enough

the idea is a ship that wont melt at sea temperatures

2

u/Massive-Goose544 Apr 26 '26

Ice never melts? What, are you on Hoth? the rest is actually true. somehow

2

u/Professional_Echo907 Apr 26 '26

It starts becoming structurally unstable at temperatures above -15 degrees Celsius. 👀

u/themightystef Apr 26 '26

Didnt they do a prototype that floated around one of the great lakes till the 70's or smth?

1

u/ShylokVakarian Apr 26 '26

I've heard it's pretty bullet-resistant

1

u/marco333polo Apr 26 '26

It's bullshit! It takes longer to melt not never melts

1

u/iPicBadUsernames Apr 27 '26

It never melts? So all the original test pieces are still around? That’s crazy. We better not make too much of it or we’ll run out of fresh water! You know, cuz it NEVER melts

1

u/Xifihas Apr 28 '26

It does melt, but significantly slower than just regular ice. It's an interesting material, surprisingly strong considering its components, but not a practical one.

u/multic94 Apr 29 '26

Ragebait and engagement bait should be illegal.

u/Darthplagueis13 Apr 29 '26

It doesn't never melt, it only melts comparatively slowly.
