09.26.15 | how the fuck are you gonna listen to an album on a desert island? |
Sinternet
09.26.15 | That is a good point. I guess bring a solar-powered charger for your ipod, but then you can store more than 10 albums, which makes this pointless. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | portable cd player
portable record player
portable tape player
batteries
its really not that difficult
|
deadcrown
09.26.15 | but when you run out of batteries that's gonna suck |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | true but the question was
"how the fuck are you gonna listen to an album on a desert island?"
and it was a really dumb question |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | even if the rationale was "yeah but what are the chances that u get stranded with a portable cd player???" its still dumb because in this hypothetical situation u are also magically stranded with your 10 favourite records specifically picked out for the exact situation that you are stranded on an island and can only have 10 records so i think its pretty FAIR to say that you could magically also have a portable CD player. |
Cygnatti
09.26.15 | Desert islands in themselves are kinda difficult to come by. Most tropical and uncharted islands have new and highly fertile soil... |
trvvve
09.26.15 | and even if there was something like a desert island you would die of dehydration after 2 or 3 days, meaning batteries will suffice |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | "Desert islands in themselves are kinda difficult to come by. Most tropical and uncharted islands have new and highly fertile soil..."
yeah i was kinda puzzled by that too lol im pretty sure its supposed to just be deserted...
not desert |
Sinternet
09.26.15 | It's just a spoonerism that became common place over time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | stupid fucking spoons |
Relinquished
09.26.15 | sporks are more useful |
chemicalmarriage
09.26.15 | I'd rather have a spork on a deserted island than a record |
Cygnatti
09.26.15 | "yeah i was kinda puzzled by that too lol im pretty sure its supposed to just be deserted...not desert."
welp, that makes tons of more sense. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | right? |
CamiloG
09.26.15 | Hahahaha I never thought that a completely hypothetical question would end up opening a debate of the chances that you get stranded on an island and on how to play records there. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | dont forget what the likelyhood is of it actually being a 'desert island', thats an important topic point right now |
CamiloG
09.26.15 | I consider this a nice way of discovering great new music, by taking into account the feedback of other users lists, because I asume that people will tend to pick their all-time favorites, otherwise it would be a pointless question. |
Cygnatti
09.26.15 | coulda avoided all that by simply saying "what's your top 10 albums?!" |
chemicalmarriage
09.26.15 | CamiloG dawg just edit and change the title of your list, delete this comment, and then we all look like retards and you're the king of this island you fucking survivor |
Sinternet
09.26.15 | The thing is an actual desert island, depending on size of course, would most likely be close to another land mass. Oceanic winds would transport sediment off the island, and it would require an equal or greater amount of sediment being transported onto the island to combat the deficit, as transportation by water would not be able to replace that much. Therefore you would likely be close enough to another land mass that a boat or plane will likely see you or see signs of human inhabitance and carry you off the island. So in conclusion, if you were on an actual desert island, rather than a deserted island, you would likely not be there for long.
I hope you enjoyed my pointless addition to the debate. |
CamiloG
09.26.15 | Yeah probably, but then, I think that question has been asked on the site a thousand times, and since I'm kinda new with this lists thing and on Sputnik, I just wanted to ask it that way. But I do appreciate the feedback |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.26.15 | "So in conclusion, if you were on an actual desert island, rather than a deserted island, you would likely not be there for long.
"
wow well that changes the entire game then. if i was on a desert island close to a large island and bound to not be there long id just bring 10 new records so i could check out some new tunes on my vacation! |
CamiloG
09.26.15 | @Sinternet This is probably one of the best comments I've seen on this site. |

What about parrot fish though? They chew on coral reefs and shit sand. I think coral polyps or whatever bind minerals in the seawater to produce their exoskeleton, then the parrot fish gnaw the corals and poop; if the currents are right, the shit forms in piles and thusly desert islands are formed. |
chemicalmarriage
09.27.15 | parrot fish shit island |

Sinternet
09.27.15 | I think you have highly over-estimated both the population of parrotfish and the ability of said parrotfish to shit out the amount of sand required to form a desert. |
PlatonicMushroom
09.27.15 | The accumulation of parrotfish shit merely has to slightly exceed the amount removed by wind erosion in order for islands to form over the course of billions & billions of years. Additionally, unless the shit is flown in significant amounts over significant distances, it is conceivable that waves and currents and whatever forces that contribute to island creation simply piles it all into a neat heap again. |
PlatonicMushroom
09.27.15 | According to wikipedia, parrotfish shit islands are a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_island
"A coral island is a type of island formed from coral detritus and associated organic material."
("In biology, detritus (/dɨˈtraɪtəs/) is dead particulate organic material (as opposed to dissolved organic material). It typically includes the bodies or fragments of dead organisms as well as fecal material.")
"Islands develop from coral reefs through one of two processes, uplift and accretion.[1]
In uplift, part or all of the coral reef becomes Land as a result of the earth's crust rising above sea level.[1]
In accretion, rocks and sand are layered on top of coral reefs during cyclonic storms, and the gradual accumulation of other solid material through the action of wind and waves leads to the development of the island. The process is later enhanced with the remains of plant life which grows on the island."
"[Parrotfish] are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts, and seagrass beds, and play a significant role in bioerosion." |
Sinternet
09.27.15 | Oh sweet, haven't heard about those. Can't imagine there'd be very big though |
