    Comic logic aside for a minute, 15 weeks seems implausible what with at least one change of season guaranteed.

    I did try searching for what the actual longest becalming might have been, but search is terrible, my search skills are terrible, or that information isn’t neatly packaged anywhere.

    (One “helpful AI” suggested a particular number of days, but after asking for its source and it failing to provide one, I was able to get it to tell me that it made that statistic up. Isn’t AI brilliant?!)

      You asked an hallucination generator about information, then asked it to hallucinate about the source of the hallucination, and then got satisfied when it hallucinated a reason as to why the rest were hallucinations?

      AI is brilliant enough to make even its critics believe that it’s anything more than a slop machine, that’s already impressive.

      Idk, seems pretty plausible to me. Like, what if one of the crew members took his crossbow and shot an albatross? Then you’d expect it to be as idle as a painted ship upon a painted sea.
