The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I was just making a joke, but I suppose it doesn't even need to be manned. Just big enough to pack cocaine in and remote pilot or self-guide to a destinstion like a torpedo. And that could be cheap.

It's also probably easier to just make a new one rather than send it back empty and risk your route being compromised or something. Twice the trips is twice the chance that something gets noticed.
