Every couple of years somebody comes up with this brilliant idea. Again.
And it always has a whiff of “didn’t quite think it through completely”.
I think some of the more current proposals have been mentioned in this thread since 2017.

And this is why when you do research on WW II, you find so many pictures of that asshole Miklós Horthy wearing an admiral’s uniform.

There is a tiny bit of Austrian naval history that stretches into this millennium; from 1958 to 2006 the Bundesheer had a couple of boats patrolling the Danube. But that was mainly a Cold War thing that had become obsolete in the 1990.

Fun fact: one of the largest merchant marines in the world flies the Swiss flag.

wow. that seems pretty significant. a quick calculation, give an average weight of a human brain is ~ 1350 grams x 0.5% = 6.75 grams of plastic garbage knockin’ around in a noggin.
my head is already too full of shit. i don’t have room for another 6.75 grams!

I have been saying for the last couple decades that we seem bound and determined to make a world incapable of supporting human life. This certainly fits that pattern.
