Why waste time and fuel going all the way to the location of a black hole (not to mention that all the radiation near it isn’t going to be good for the ship) plust the delta-V to reduce their speed until they actually are not in orbit anymore and fall down into it?

Best just jettison them out of the airlock without a suit in the middle of nowhere.

I thought it’d just be airlocking them

That’s normal space pirate stuff. I’m taking about the extreme space pirating where people tremble at the mention of the name of the pirate because he/she/it black holes them.

Your blood would literally boil the second you are exposed to the vacuum of space. You are dead long before you reach it. Maybe if they fire you off in a torpedo. But then some mutineer could fuck with the targetting systems and keep you alive.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct-----
