Homie how tf are you sailing with no boat?

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 102 points 2 years ago

That’s the power of your imagination!

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 71 points 2 years ago

You wouldn’t download a boat

Not a sailboat, but still a downloaded boat. https://www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/Printcess.html

sail on home to the never say die flavor of simple Rick.

[-] breg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I'm the captain now!

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 44 points 2 years ago

A friend with a boat is what you want. Same with a pool.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 years ago

The best boat there is is one you don't own!

[-] Mist101@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Never sailed in a pool before, brb.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

You get really good at tight turns.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

It’s always good to have friends with things you want to use but don’t want to own. Another thing that falls into that category: puppies and kittens.

Hey, cheap nephlings and cousins once-removed! 👋 wanna run around and wrestle and part ways at the end of the night?!

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

First they tell me I can go sailing, now you say I can make friends... What other pie in the sky fantasies are you selling!?

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves. And the aforementioned knowledge of sailing.

[-] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago

Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves

And prepare to get wet! ^.^

you join a club and are crew. it's literally how most sailing clubs function. How the hell are you supposed to race a boat if only the owner gets to be on it? The larger the boat the more the crew you need. The fees at my club for crew are $40 a year. That's like 1/3 the cost of netflix and way more worth it. And many clubs also have a "why buy?" club where you can captain one of the fleet boats a certain number of times a year and bring your own crew.

They said you don't need a boat.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

You don't need to own a boat. Apologies.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

You don’t need a boat, but sailing is much easier with a boat.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

you can stick a tiny american flag in your lil belly button and float on by.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Even ten years ago I was like what the heck is an American flag doing on this boat?? The American empire is like one of my least fave so can we at least use the less horrifying state flag?

[-] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago

That's what gaming pcs with vr are for

[-] Chev@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The same way you live in a place that you don't own.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

OK, but you don't see me starting an "apartment renting school"

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

If renting an apartment carried with it a similar significant risk of drowning, there might be a demand.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I would like to introduce you to Florida
