Silly question: is there a community for real, sailing piracy?

Not sure how many Somalis use Lemmy and how good their 5G is on the water

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Their spell check sucks too. "I'm the capstan now!"

You're a winch, wench!

[–] Zoidberg@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably better than at&t in the middle of the city.

sad but true

Make a lemmy instance for somalian pirates

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don’t think the worlds remaining sea pirates are very technical, or smart at all for that matter.

If Piracy wasn't a legit, high technician career, why would MIT offer a Pirate Certificate?

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Students who have completed Archery, Fencing, Pistol (Air Pistol or Rifle) and Sailing should send an email to..."

When a university education becomes a fantasy story meme. At least if you're attending MIT, you're probably multiclassed into some kind of technomancer.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I mean, it's just a piece of paper for competing an otherwise random set of extracurricular activities. MIT students do memes all the time. Well, they use to. I think the administration is trying to crack down on fun stuff.

The MIT Pirate Certificate is for entertainment purposes only and does not give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities.

Guess I'm not going to MIT, then.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well of course they can't offer a real certificate for piracy. It would actually be for privateering.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Because you need a privateering license, i've heard Russia gives away some

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

~~does not~~ give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities.

I repacked it, enjoy guys, arr

"A lot of technical terms there. We're naught but humble pirates!"

[–] TheFriendlyArtificer@beehaw.org 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I imagine there are fan groups for Our Flag Means Death.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Got cancelled though, so don’t expect much growth
