Mar 6 at 20:47 comment added aquaticapetheory What if you're a whaler on the moon (you carry a harpoon) but there ain't no whales so you tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune?
Mar 6 at 18:25 comment added Mermaker If my Helldivers 2 group is any indication of anything, people would sing sea chanties while killing hordes of space bugs and alien automatons.

Apr 7, 2021 at 10:38 comment added Crazy Dino I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this existing space shanty 'classic'' by 'The Firm' youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE
Apr 7, 2021 at 7:47 comment added Ponder Stibbons On a slightly different slant - but it seems to me for this to function (other than as entertainment) it is important that the technology has been fairly stable for a while so that unchanging roles and duties have been established.

Apr 6, 2021 at 18:00 comment added Joe Bloggs Sometimes the amount of convergent worldbuilding that happens is scary... I tackled this exact same problem a few months back.
Apr 6, 2021 at 17:12 comment added user8827 I served from 2000 to 2008 on US submarines. Guys, there was no internet down there. Sometimes we just - sang. Shanties, showtunes, the national anthem, top 40, something some dude wrote - whatever.

Apr 6, 2021 at 13:47 comment added DWKraus I think the sheer FUN everyone is having with making up ditties is an answer in and of itself. Very fun question.
Apr 6, 2021 at 13:27 comment added Darrel Hoffman Sea shanties made a comeback last year on Tik Tok. Those people weren't working together or even in the same room (or country in some cases), and it still managed to be a thing...
Apr 6, 2021 at 13:26 comment added Codes with Hammer @Qami: Don't leave yet, the Klingon rum isn't all gone! ETA: And I may be able to mix one last Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.
Apr 6, 2021 at 13:23 comment added Qami Ok, I'll show myself out.
