Depending on the exact shape, sometimes dropping giant bits of steel in the ocean can be very good for shipping; we purposefully sink ships that are EOL for this exact purpose fairly often.
- djsavvy 6y agoThat's the first I've heard of something like this. What's the purpose of dropping specifically-shaped steel into the ocean?
- HeWhoLurksLate 6y agoOh, that's so that the drop-shippers can increase their throughput. IIRC, it gives coral a place to grow.
- ashtonkem 6y agoAs someone else said, it helps coral reefs grow. And I meant to say that it’s good for fishing, not shipping. My bad.
