    Going please-save-me as my vanity project sub suddenly stops moving and starts to slowly sink at 30,000 leagues below sea level while I look through the windows at the wreckage of the last sub I sent down here

      30,000 leagues below sea level

      actually "leagues" is a measurement of distance travelled and not depth.

      30,000 leagues if used as a measurement for depth would be ~90,000 miles which would put you somewhere in space on the other side of the earth, which I would also be fine with but I couldn't help but engage in little a pedantry as a treat.

        it was a reference to the book of the same name but i got the number of leagues wrong by mistake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Seas
