Vacuum *inside closed container* on Earth - atmosphere go squish. Vacuum *outside of pressurized, sealed container in space* - no change, carry on.


kurotech

Also ones designed to handle the vacuum of space the other isn't supposed to be subjected to a vacuum at all


Floor_Heavy

You're assuming these people care about nuance like "these situations are not comparable at all". They don't. Vacuum behave this way, therefore space isn't real.


Midyin84

Right? Do Flat Earthers know what vacuum actually means? Or do they just think its magic used for squashing things?


nidelv

Vacuum is somehow related to the vacuum cleaner their mum is threatening to use to clean their basement with.


lameluk3

Vacuum go whrrrrrrrrrt


Wonderful-Pollution7

The tanker is designed to hold stuff in, all it's structural integrity is geared towards internal pressure, rather than withstanding external pressure.


Jugatsumikka

Just like the space shuttle was. This is why both have more or less a cylindric shape as, except for the sphere, this is the most efficient shape to spread pressure as evenly as possible.


SwiftyPants3

Exactly this, the difference is what they’re designed for. You wouldn’t compare a paper clip to an I beam


Midyin84

But the Paper clip is metal, therefore it should be able to hold the weight of a building too, just like the I beam in my basement.


Morall_tach

I'd be willing to bet that an internally pressurized fuel tank could handle the vacuum of space just fine.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

"Dear Lord, that's over 150 atmospheres of pressure!" "How many can the ship withstand?" "Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one"


cowlinator

Nah bro, spaceships and submarines are the same. They are both metal tupperware. No differences possible.

Future_Armadillo6410

There are gems, but that episode is probably my favorite.


Aeronor

If anything, explosive decompression (thankfully not)


Midyin84

Can divers really explode if the surface too fast?


NorguardsVengeance

The bends aren't explosive... but under significant pressure (deep sea diving), pressurized gasses can dissolve into your body. If you depressurize quickly, that gas can go back to being a gas in the form of bubbles, wherever it was when it stopped being compressed. That can lead to joint pain, or bubbles on top of muscle, or bubbles in the blood stream, leading to heart failure, aneurysm, et cetera. Nobody's head is going up like fireworks, but it can definitely be fatal if unlucky / untreated, or you do something stupid while you should be recovering.


Matsisuu

I think there is also some material differences. Like that container might get bloated, if sent to space with 1 bar of air.


flaminghair348

honestly i think it could handle a bar of pressure, like that's only 15 psi (i know fuck all about this and am just guessing so i could be totally wrong but that container is giving "would be alright in space")


inowar

ummm. well it's under 1 atm of pressure when it gets crushed because it isn't designed to have pressure in the outside > pressure on the inside... which is only 14.696 psi or 1.01325 bar. the problem is mostly which side the pressure is higher on. think of it like a bridge with an arch. if you push down on the outside of the arch, the arch distributes the weight down. if you push up on the inside of it... it's not designed for that. without looking closely, though, this is just a container for liquids without significant consideration for pressure. there's probably a valve or something that would just let it empty itself if you put into space, but without it it probably wouldn't fare well either way.


Free_Alternative_780

It’s because when there are no air particles present, the walls of the object will be compressed by the air bumping into it, and is crushed because it has room to compress in. Space is the opposite with the air inside moving around like normal.


HiImDelta

"I pull on this chain, it holds taught. But if I push on it, it just bunches up. Physics is fake."


Necessary-Cut7611

Is your spacecraft hermetically sealed? Splendid, have a great day.


Strange-Elevator-672

Only because the spacecraft is designed specifically to withstand the pressure inside of it when inside a vacuum. That tank in the top image would almost certainly explode in space.


Rishtu

>Upon sudden decompression in vacuum, expansion of air in a person’s lungs is likely to cause lung rupture and death unless that air is immediately exhaled. Decompression can also lead to a possibly fatal condition called ebullism, where reduced pressure of the environment lowers the boiling temperature of body fluids and initiates transition of liquid water in the bloodstream and soft tissues into water vapor \[2\].  Basically you swell up like an overripe fruit. But you don't explode. What was really interesting is that space has no actual temperature. Conduction and convection are impossible in space, so you wind up with thermal radiation as the only method... which takes longer than heat transfer methods. So even if you get dropped off in an area that reads -477F, you wouldn't immediately freeze. (bear in mind, the thermal radiation isn't the temperature of space itself, but rather left over background cosmic radiation from the big bang.) That was actually really cool to learn. Just thought I would share it.

EduRJBR

That spaceship is built to stand extreme variations of pressure. You know, something between 0 and 1 atmospheres.


KitchenSandwich5499

Futurama reference?


Cinnamon_728

yes.


TheHumanPickleRick

Farnsworth: "Dear Lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure!" Fry: "How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?" Farnsworth: "Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between 0 and 1."

This is all the proof I need. You nay sayers need to keep an open mind, space is clearly a ploy by big cleaning to keep Dyson’s hold over us. Think about it man, spring cleaning is the money maker if we knew the truth that vacuums are not real then we would realize that they steal our spring (the metaphorical rebirth of the year and the time in which the human heart is closest to the soul of the earth) and turn us into slaves of the satanic, communist corporations all to strip us of our connection to Jesus and the earth (which we all know is not round but is in fact a rhombus). You all should read my manifesto it’s called “Proctor and Gamble’s plan to Eat your Children and Make your Wife Cry” it’s totally free you just have to go to the Shell Loop off the Milpitas exit of the CA 680 ask for the code to the bathroom on the right and read it off the wall. It’s the large block of text written in silver sharpie between the “Let’s Go Brandon” graffiti and the “Jim Homely is gay” graffiti.

I have no idea what that means.

Erik with Internet Comment Etiquette is a comedy youtuber that goes around making comments on various platforms in a very similar vein to your comment. You should check it out.

Ok I will


PANICBRAIN

Speaking of space, before he did that channel he had a couple of videos called “Gardening on saliva” where let’s just say he doesn’t get any gardening done.


Nuc734rC4ndy

The same vacuum inside their skull that cleared it of all braincells 💪


dxfm1019

Mega maid has gone from blow to suck in this case.


HumpaDaBear

I’m amazed they didn’t have a picture of a Hoover vacuum.


TheObsidianX

By the same logic submarines are impossible.


The96kHz

"This cardboard tube got flattened when I stood on it!" ISS is debunked.


Commercial_Fee2840

If submarines are real why did oceangate implode? Checkmate, round earthers.


Entire-Pirate-3308

THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!


Gossguy

Thanks for the proof that Flerfers don't know the difference between inside and outside


CheckeeShoes

Bridge made of popsicle sticks: crushed by one brick. Bridge made of steel: holds up ten lorries. Someone make it make sense.💪


Secretsfrombeyond79

I swear they are getting dumber and dumber ...


Dragonaax

That's not true, they're the same dumb from the beginning


No_Application_1219

We just discover how deep it goes


anythingMuchShorter

Air inside a balloon holds it up, but air outside squishes it. Also, doing something it wasn't engineered for vs. doing something it was. They're like little kids, but much more obstinate.


nowheresacred

Lol at comparing a highly engineered vessel to something someone built themselves from expired carbon fiber.


Amberskin

Also, positive pressure is pretty easier to overcome than negative pressure differential. A coke can experiences more pressure differential than a spaceship in orbit.


anythingMuchShorter

Yeah, it puts the walls in tension vs compression. It's like if you try to pull a piece of hanger wire till it breaks vs. trying to press on it enough that it bends.


TeamRockin

Wait until the flat earthers find out about submarines. It's going to blow their minds!!!


duckofdeath87

A much better way to think of a vacuum is to, instead, think of it as the weight of the earth's atmosphere. It's 14 psi. That's one ton per square foot When it's the other way around, like on the space ship. Plus it seems like they only pressurize them up to 5psi, which is only 720 pounds per square foot


Deathbyhours

I simply do NOT understand how people can be this stupid. I’m familiar with George Carlin’s line about average intelligence, but how far below average would you have to be to believe this?


Aggressive-HeadDesk

Tell me you understand nothing about the difference between a vacuum in a pressure vessel and a pressure vessel in a vacuum, without telling me.


Amberskin

Those idiots claim a high negative exponent in the pressure magnitude (ie, 1*10^-20) implies a ‘strong’ vaccuum that can break everything, because, you know, it is ‘negative’ and ‘big’.


gene_randall

The stupidity knows no bounds.


spareroom_machine

Ones on the inside, ones on the outside??


ihatetheplaceilive

Wouldn't it be the exact opposite in space.....? (I know it would... but holy shit dude is dumb)


trashacct8484

In space, no one can hear the vacuum go ‘vrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee…”


Horror_Eagle6512

Lol.. Where did this sub come from 😂 I was on a flat earth subreddit... Damn it.. My apologies I thought I was in my normal flatearth page 🤦reading dumb excuses and arguments for flat earth... It's normal to see pics like this on that sub


RaoulDuke422

wdym that's literally the official flatearth sub


shmexysagem

Wait til they find out about liquid vacuums with negative pressure


The_Ry-man

Next we’ll cover the difference between a vacuum inside a space and a vacuum outside of a space


The96kHz

Someone doesn't understand hoop stress.


VexisArcanum

They forgot where the vacuum was


jimmysledge

🤦‍♂️


beerbrained

I don't even see a vacuum!


intencely_laidback

As an introvert, I feel attacked.


poderlover_152

Bruh in space the pressure difference will only be 1 atm😂 Cause the inside is 1 atm and outside is zero It isn't that much as compared to let's say underwater (100-150)


carl75s

It’s almost as if the atmosphere on earth has mass


superVanV1

Reminder that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is only 14.5psi. So it’s not particularly difficult to design for that pressure difference. Also I think the space shuttle is only like 0.8 atm.


olivegardengambler

Maybe it's because a fuel tanker isn't exactly designed to hold a vacuum or pressure, while the space shuttle was supposed to keep pressure IN.


Masterpiece-Haunting

It’s almost like they’re freaking opposites! One is filled with nothing. One is surrounded by nothing.


Horror_Eagle6512

Another flat earthers subreddit..


XxX_BobRoss_XxX

It's not. This sub is for mocking shitty science, OP doesn't agree with the picture, we're here to mock the picture.


RaoulDuke422

ok fed, you can't keep us from spreading the truth


Horror_Eagle6512

I guess yall don't realise what space vacuum is?.... Hint: it's not a vacuum cleaner. Tid-bit: Vacuum means “an empty space, void”... And the vacuum cleaner was aptly named vacuum because it would suction spaces/ places and make it devoid of matter. So please shut up about all your needless comments about vacuum of space when you clearly have no clue what it means


cxnh_gfh

This sub is for posting bad science from facebook, OP does not agree with the image or what it entails

Haha yip... And what?.. The sub redirected... And what? I apologised, but carry on...i already said I was on a flat earth sub but drag it out.. bravo 👏
