There's much more diversity than the muffler theory fits.

They also have portholes and watertight doors, suggesting that they're more meant to look like they're made from ship salvage.

But first and foremost, they're meant to look cartoonish and funny.

They're not though. I think someone's brain associated side muffler mounts with a random outlet pipe halfway down.

On its side, it's more similar to some rudimentary boilers. But eeally, it's just random scrap metal put together to represent resourcefulness from human pollution with little further thought from the artist.

Airplane mufflers have random outlet pipes on the side like that. It's for cabin heat.

No shit; most single-engine piston planes take heat for the cabin (and carburetor heat) from a shroud wrapped around the muffler. Which is why those little pill-in-a-card carbon monoxide detectors are common in pilot supply catalogs like Sporty's, the thin steel wall that separates cabin air from raw exhaust gases is in a place that is damn near impossible to fully inspect.

Twin engine piston planes are even dumber. It is impractical to run an air duct all the way from the nacelle to the fuselage, so instead they put a gas heater in the nose. Yeah. A heater. That burns leaded aviation gasoline. For cabin heat. They splode sometimes.

How many people never realized that Bikini bottom is below the Bikini Atoll, site of early atomic bomb testing.

Gonna be that guy (hopefully the educational and not the annoying one though): the correct phrase is "make do".

Damn, you were right on queue with that correction. OP should of picked up a dictionary, huh?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

Pray tell, where is "should of" in the dictionary?

[-] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Irregardless, I think their making a joke

"Should" is in the S section (specifically the "sho" section).

"Of" is in the O section (specifically the "of" section, right at the start of it).

Or if you meant both together, dictionaries don't work like that.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It's a fucking joke, mate.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 22 points 1 month ago

So you are saying that polluting the ocean is good because it gives fish a home?

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 20 points 1 month ago

Sometimes junk is used to serve as artificial reefs. It's pretty cool.

[-] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Sweet Tank!

Now give them some fighter jets!

The fate of Atlantis II: Atlantis strikes back.

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, time's definitely due for a new generation of jets.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The US navy just dropped two this year.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

We sunk a whole damned aircraft carrier of the coast, and fought for the privilege! I believe it's one of the largest artificial reefs in the world.

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Are they tho?

[-] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Shouldn't Bikini Bottom have a ton more car batteries?

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This explains why my car didn't work. I used a pineapple and rock.

[-] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Where are the car batteries I've been throwing out for my grandma?
