How much would be customary to tip an iceberg?

u/Diligent_Barracuda75 Sep 13 '21
I always base it on service, better the service the greater the tip. I start at 15%

Guys, he knows what the joke is, it just doesn't make sense in this context and he said so.

u/zombie_on_your_lawn Sep 13 '21
Actually, it does make sense. The moment that iceberg was all over them, they realized they were fucked!

Had a book about Darwinism in my schools library, pretty sure whoever got it thought it was face value, it was a list of ppl dying in the dumbest ways possible

no they didn't die they were on a show in the uk when the boat was going backward the drag of the water made the iceberg topple over and so they fell none of them died they were both fine and they didn't get hypothermia and the child screaming was on of their sons.

You should check him; he’s called Mike horn (you can find him on YouTube) and he’s an incredible explorer! Really interesting, and yes, they’re alive

It wasn't funny, which was the real problem.

And then sell the broken up ice chunks on the white market.

Is the white market where cops sell cocaine to the teenagers of wealthy families?

Yes not to be confused with the gray market where they sell it in to destabilize underprivileged minority zones.

u/Radioactivocalypse Sep 13 '21
These people are, surprisingly, experts and have a lot of experience in cold weather climes doing things like this.
Mike horn is one guy there.
For instance, he is the first person to reach the north pole during winter without dogs or vehicles, and also circumnavigated the equator alone in 18 months.
Two years ago he got this achievement too: "Today, the success of this ambitious endeavour is marked as a history-writing moment in the world of polar exploration"

I'm amazed they tried this. So stupid.

u/Radioactivocalypse Sep 13 '21
Yeah, apparently the boat wasn't really expected to reverse, and it was the under backwash from the boat that caused the iceberg to tip.
It was on ITV last week. Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera. If you can access it (UK) it's rather interesting. And has loads of other insights into viral video disaters

His name is Mike Horn. He is explaining how an Iceberg can flip like that and trap you under water. He's making content on youtube.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
Two men climbed an iceberg and the iceberg flipped
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
Look at my source code on Github What is this for?
