Wouldn't waste our resources. Just seal up the door with concrete and walk away.

One of the guards hired for these bunkers "joked" that if shit ever went sideways they'd just kill the billionaire and take the bunker for themselves

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah they really think that the security forces are going to remain loyal to them when society collapses and currency no longer has any value. Like, they could live in a bunker, or they could live in a bunker with your whiny spoiled ass. Figure it out.

I'd rather die in nuclear hellfire than live in a hole for the rest of my life.

The billionaires can have their hell on earth, I'll take the express ticket off this rock.

I bet he's got a mate with a bobcat/mini digger too.

"Hey Jonesy, give us a hang with this job Saturday!"

I recall an article at most 3 years ago saying they're researching control collars for the guards.

It's probably going to be built to be as self-sustaining as possible. (Except Elon's, because he almost certainly insisted on having final say on the design.)

e: Anyway, you put the concrete on the door and the ventilation.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Humans do not currently have the technology to create long term, self-sustaining closed ecosystems.

No one on earth has successfully created one, and biodome was cut short due to private equity buying it out and basically forcing the project to shut down.

The billionaire bunkers may be designed for long term survival, but they will have a finite amount of food at least. Water can be replaced via wells, electricity can be generated with SMNRs(if the billionaires even own those), and food may be able to be supplemented for a while with grow lights, but eventually the soil will deplete due to not having a sustainable ecosystem.

All we have to do is poor concrete in front of the entrance and wait.

While technically "finite", the term takes on a different meaning when you consider the scale of resources they control. It would take an infinitesimal fraction of $400B to buy enough dried goods to last a generation or two. I don't want to wait that long.

That's why you cement the air ventilation!

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

That's excluding killing their air supply which is traditionally how you force people to evacuate bunkers sans bunker busters or heavy bombardment.

They probably have a lot of food and water and cultural treasures of the world in there tho.

Good they'll have something to keep themselves entertained while we look for air vents and possible communications channels to cut. Found out recently you can do some crazy stuff by dragging an anchor around with a cargo ship

Actually do you think there's any way we can can get them in there a little early?
