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 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

You're a winch, wench!

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

Make a lemmy instance for somalian pirates

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Got cancelled though, so don’t expect much growth
