Whyyyy peter?

[u/chirantaniga]

[u/rysy0o0]

It would cost a lot of money to haul all the rocket parts and fuel on top of a mountain

[u/Flat_Lengthiness3361 → u/rysy0o0]

and a lot of fuel probably

[u/thebestoflimes → u/Flat_Lengthiness3361]

Just use Sherpas

[u/CormundCrowlover → u/thebestoflimes]

It would cost a lot of Sherpas.

[u/WiseWorldliness5513 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Have we tried giving the Sherpa’s rockets to help them move things faster uphill?

[u/CormundCrowlover → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

But wouldn't it cost a lot of fuel?

[u/sivartimus → u/CormundCrowlover]

Yes but we have Sherpas for that

[u/NotGonnaRage → u/sivartimus]

With rockets so it's faster

[u/oryx_za → u/NotGonnaRage]

Have we just solved unemployment in nepal?

[u/Acceptingoptimist → u/oryx_za]

It's the perpetual motion machine right under our noses.

[u/somethingmorecrazy → u/Acceptingoptimist]

Its just sherpas all the way down.

[u/Viscount61 → u/somethingmorecrazy]

How about a steam catapult instead of an electromagnetic one?

[u/optykali → u/somethingmorecrazy]

Also, It's easier (and cheaper) to grow Sherpas than mountains.

[u/Maelou → u/Acceptingoptimist]

As they say, the hardest with perpetual motion machines is hiding the sherpa

[u/LifeTie800 → u/Acceptingoptimist]

The difficulty with building a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the rocket powered Sherpa.

[u/Acceptingoptimist → u/LifeTie800]

Man, if I had a dollar for every time that came up when I was building one.

[u/oryx_za → u/LifeTie800]

Listen, I don't know what you are saying....but what ever sherpa number you have in your head ...double it.

My goal is that by 2035 humanities workforce will be 50% AI, 50% sherpa.

[u/Nut_Job_Maniac → u/Acceptingoptimist]

You mean perpetual Sherpa machine?

[u/Leather-Squirrel-421 → u/Nut_Job_Maniac]

“Sherpetual Motion Machine” was right there

[u/Tino-DBA → u/Acceptingoptimist]

If you tie two sherpas together back to back…

[u/Rude-Poetry5574 → u/Acceptingoptimist]

We can provide a Sherpa for each Sherpa. The Sherpa’s Sherpa

[u/New-Resident3385 → u/Acceptingoptimist]

Nepalpetual motion.... dont worry on my way out already.

[u/LitigiousLobster → u/oryx_za]

But now all the rocket scientists are unemployed.

[u/AkumaO_O → u/LitigiousLobster]

But then who will make the rockets for the sherpas?

[u/eternalapostle → u/LitigiousLobster]

We can strap rockets to the rocket scientists so they can get employment faster

[u/LitigiousLobster → u/eternalapostle]

So we employ rockets to employ rocket scientists?

[u/Tino-DBA → u/eternalapostle]

We can strap scientists to the sherpa rockets to get them up the mountain faster

[u/MerleFSN → u/LitigiousLobster]

They‘ve been promoted to sherpa rocket scientists (name patent pending)

[u/LitigiousLobster → u/MerleFSN]

Sherpatist™️

[u/oryx_za → u/MerleFSN]

It's wrong...but i have replaced sherpas with minions in my head.

[u/MyStackIsPancakes → u/LitigiousLobster]

They can work as Sherpas

[u/SaltyPressure7583 → u/oryx_za]

Unfortunately i think Nepal just sorted that out yesterday. Rip

[u/Character_Top5141 → u/SaltyPressure7583]

Damnn, too early dude. Wayy too early

[u/SaltyPressure7583 → u/Character_Top5141]

I know dude, that was terrible. But my vanta-black sense of humor just can't be contained sometimes

[u/magaoitin → u/Character_Top5141]

Yea, but unless you are from Napal and somehow have internet access (maybe with a solar panel on the back of an Alpaca?), not one Nepalese has complained about the joke yet, so u/SaltyPressure7583 might be onto something /s

[u/oryx_za → u/SaltyPressure7583]

Yikes....this took a turn.

[u/notabotaboy → u/SaltyPressure7583]

Way too soon. Way too dark. Loved every second of it. Bravo.

[u/TheGoodKindOfMermaid → u/SaltyPressure7583]

Too soon....

[u/taylorisntavril → u/SaltyPressure7583]

Jesus christ lol. Well played.

[u/MWSin → u/oryx_za]

I think we solved population in Nepal.

[u/MakkaCha → u/oryx_za]

Not all Nepali are Sherpas.

Source: I'm Nepali.

[u/punksmostlydead → u/MakkaCha]

I note that you have not actually denied being a sherpa.

[u/aaaaa-6969 → u/oryx_za]

Actually yeah, the ensuing avalanches will wipe out all of Nepal’s population. No population = no unemployment.

[u/PineappleShard → u/sivartimus]

Sherpas all the way down.

[u/sabotsalvageur → u/PineappleShard]

What is propellant if not a constant stream of microscopic sherpas being dispatched in the direction opposite the rocket’s intended thrust vector?

[u/MadDocHolliday → u/sabotsalvageur]

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Sherpas are the powerhouse of the space program.

[u/LordSilveron → u/PineappleShard]

You misspelled up.

[u/ItWasntAQueef → u/PineappleShard]

Maybe the real fuel is all the Sherpas we met along the way

[u/Icy_Transportation_2 → u/sivartimus]

It’s clear you haven’t studied sherpa technology

[u/Twitchmonky → u/sivartimus]

Rocket powered sherpas

[u/Born_Consequence3025 → u/Twitchmonky]

Sherpa powered rockets, actually

[u/SomeBoringNick → u/Born_Consequence3025]

Rocket powered sherpa powered rockets, please...

[u/Pajamatime20 → u/Born_Consequence3025]

Rocket powered Sherpa powered rockets

[u/grape_depression → u/Twitchmonky]

I haven't studied sherpa rocket science but wouldn't it be easier to launch the rocket powered sherpas off a mountain on the other mountain where the space rockets are?

[u/jakeStacktrace → u/sivartimus]

I'm sorry I had already forgotten, I know we just went over that. Implement it.

[u/mwadeeeb → u/sivartimus]

They have what plants crave

[u/SpasticCattus → u/mwadeeeb]

Electrolyte Sherpas

[u/Dozer_the_Khajiit → u/sivartimus]

Sometimes reddit sucks.

Sometimes it's kind of awesome.

[u/rockysworld → u/sivartimus]

Sherpa powered rockets

[u/klezart → u/sivartimus]

I don't think Sherpas would work as fuel, but I'm no expert

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/sivartimus]

I think you just created the first perpetual Sherpa engine.

[u/Awkward-Cat-4702 → u/sivartimus]

lazy sherpas!

[u/Far_Raspberry_4375 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Start the sherpas from the top of a mountain

[u/pizzaprofile31 → u/CormundCrowlover]

If it costs too much fuel we should just start from the top of the mountain

[u/jinsaku → u/CormundCrowlover]

sherpas, sherpas, sherpas all the way down.

[u/Shanksdoodlehonkster → u/CormundCrowlover]

Put rocket packs on the Sherpas

[u/crazzydjwarriors → u/CormundCrowlover]

And no the point it's They go in the outer space and not do a jumping sky diving ok on the ground

[u/db720 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

We should train them

[u/ChronoMonkeyX → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

God bless this rocket house and all those who dwell within this rocket house.

[u/Riju20 → u/ChronoMonkeyX]

God-Emperor* there I fixed it

[u/Weaselbrott → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

They apparently just need cigarettes?

[u/txobathelegend → u/Weaselbrott]

we could skip rockets then, just the fuel and little cig and Sherpas have themselves a space program

[u/jaxonya → u/Weaselbrott]

Theyd be up on the moon, no helmet, smoking cigarettes if we let them become astronauts

[u/Redditidder2020 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

[u/GaK_Icculus → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

Just give them a carton of cigs

[u/misshapen_chaos → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

I get dibs on "Rocket Powered Sherpa" as my new band name.

[u/Alanoche96 → u/misshapen_chaos]

Too late. Im using it. You can buy the rights from me for $1B (or $1 if its your last dollar)

[u/TimeTravelingBard → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

Give this man a government agency.

*Or woman. Not trying to pigeonhole anyone, just trying to keep the quote intact.

[u/down_south_sc → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

I saw one fueling up with a cigarette going up the mountain so maybe ?

[u/Murky-Cobbler5945 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

If we give them liquid fuel sources, we’re gonna have to get that one Sherpa to quit smoking.

[u/Aromatic_Corgi8290 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

But those rockets for sherpas also require their little mountains to be launched

[u/AtomAntvsTheWorld → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

That’s the issue they should just start uphill already.

[u/sarcasmisart → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

Just chiming in to say I am 100% behind the rocket-powered Sherpas idea.

[u/MineNowBotBoy → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

If you stack enough Sherpas on each other’s shoulders you won’t even need fuel!

[u/waltsend → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

We haven't studied sherpa science either.

[u/Comodore97 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

couldn't we attach the rockets to the rocket, then the sherpas don't have to carry as much

[u/crowkiller06 → u/WiseWorldliness5513]

Haven’t you heard of the Sherpa rocket graveyard on top of Everest? They’ve already tried. The Sherpa Rocket Express System was not successful.

[u/Dooku17 → u/CormundCrowlover]

This made me laugh more than it should have😂

[u/CormundCrowlover → u/Dooku17]

Thx! Thanks for the award as well

[u/Vast_Interview3098 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpas iiiiiiiinnnn spaaaaaace

[u/nanneryeeter → u/Vast_Interview3098]

History of the world vibes.

[u/Objectivespeculation → u/Vast_Interview3098]

lol, in the future, they will probably become rescue crew in space. They can go father on less than other astronauts. They are smaller peoples and use very little O2.

[u/luxcity-louche → u/CormundCrowlover]

[u/EmuAce → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpas are technically a renewable resource - so that's ok

[u/Otherwise_Demand4620 → u/EmuAce]

... it's just boiling water again, isn't it? beautiful clean sherpas.

[u/bbbourb → u/CormundCrowlover]

LOL...Sherpas as currency?

[u/shoulda_been_gone → u/CormundCrowlover]

What's the sherpa to rocket fuel exchange rate these days?

[u/epired → u/CormundCrowlover]

Would you say it would cost a plethora of sherpas?

[u/weltvonalex → u/CormundCrowlover]

They grow on trees, no biggie

[u/IHateMyLife612 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Just give them a pack of cigarettes.

[u/Itchy_Psychology3300 → u/CormundCrowlover]

They are biodegradable though.

[u/FeedMyDopenose → u/CormundCrowlover]

Those are renewable though

[u/Sh1ner → u/CormundCrowlover]

give them cigarettes?

[u/SeaworthinessOk255 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Take them theur passports

[u/Outrageous_Desk8966 → u/CormundCrowlover]

This is bullshit - clearly you have no fucking idea what sherpas do. This would literally be done by one sherpa while smoking a cigarette

[u/One_Spoopy_Potato → u/CormundCrowlover]

Then use Terris packmen.

[u/EitherEmployee3269 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Just use rockets

[u/BratacJaglenac → u/CormundCrowlover]

Just clone them

[u/Dufranus → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpas are a renewable resource though.

[u/Raenef86 → u/CormundCrowlover]

That's a sacrifice I am willing to make

[u/Kill3rSasquatch → u/CormundCrowlover]

Just give the sherpas cocaine and meth. Solves the fuel issues.

[u/cromagnonherder → u/CormundCrowlover]

Oh I’m sorry, have you studied Sherpa science?

[u/BadMunky82 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Like.. more than 4?

[u/gatoguy65 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Robo sherpa

[u/ThatOtherOtherMan → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpas are a renewable resource

[u/Ragethashit → u/CormundCrowlover]

It would cost lots of cigarettes.

[u/MaximusHomerdrive → u/CormundCrowlover]

Then use Sharpies.

[u/--Lust-- → u/CormundCrowlover]

just one per rocket

[u/benjislew → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpa’s would do it for the love of it. Imagine telling the boys at base camp.

[u/IIIDysphoricIII → u/CormundCrowlover]

“How many Sherpas? Would you say…10 Sherpas?” - Master Tang

[u/Dreamspitter → u/CormundCrowlover]

You realize there's people up there that need no shoes and no gloves because generic adaptations cause their blood vessels to vacillate rather than only contracting so they don't get frost bite? They only wear shoes on formal occasions. Those guys need jobs. They also need a new genetic material, they are kinda inbred.

Something can be worked out.

[u/titsngiggles69 → u/CormundCrowlover]

I'm sure j.beebs could hook you up with some cheap disposable ones

[u/BigJSunshine → u/CormundCrowlover]

THINK OF ALL THE DEAD ROCKETS ALONG THE PATH

[u/123BuleBule → u/CormundCrowlover]

And sherpas need fuel too

[u/veryeyes → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sounds just like Peta

[u/mynameiswearingme → u/CormundCrowlover]

Imagine a whole tribe of Sherpas hauling a rocket up a mountain haha

[u/analbumcover_9735 → u/CormundCrowlover]

How many though? Like 7 tops, right?

[u/lapuneta → u/CormundCrowlover]

It would cost a lot of smokes for the Sherpas

[u/SnooCapers6517 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Give sherpas some jetpacks.

[u/ciekma67 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherpal space project.

[u/ReputationApart5983 → u/CormundCrowlover]

Sherp up

[u/Flimsy_Mountain_3721 → u/thebestoflimes]

Bypass the rockets and just use Sherpas to deploy into low earth orbit

[u/Sunhating101hateit → u/Flimsy_Mountain_3721]

Soooo… could a Sherpa Railgun work?

[u/SeesawDelicious4677 → u/thebestoflimes]

Or rockets

[u/AtlanticPortal → u/thebestoflimes]

Llamas?

[u/SethSlax → u/AtlanticPortal]

Llama? He's supposed to be dead!

[u/Nkfloof → u/SethSlax]

Yeah, weird.

[u/Thin-Hat-9037 → u/Nkfloof]

Let me see that vial

[u/ATX2ANM → u/AtlanticPortal]

With rockets. Rocket llamas.

[u/db720 → u/ATX2ANM]

Llamas with rockets and hats

[u/Deranged_Roomba → u/db720]

People screaming and running away as a rocket explodes in the background "Caaaaaaarrrllll"

[u/Apprehensive-Taro707 → u/AtlanticPortal]

Dalai Lama can do it. But he won't help Chinese Rockets.

[u/ncnotebook → u/Apprehensive-Taro707]

You completely missed the "So, dolly llamas?" joke...

[u/Overall-Mycologist-5 → u/thebestoflimes]

it's dangerous, I think sherpas are so tired of rich mf showing off by climbing some hill, so at first possibility they will hijack the rocket and run to Mars

[u/Wild_Smurf → u/Overall-Mycologist-5]

Jokes on them. It’ll only be a matter of time until someone tries to follow them to mars to climb Olympus Mons.

[u/24-7_DayDreamer → u/Wild_Smurf]

Not much climbing involved in that one. Olympus Mons has such a wide base and gentle slope that if you were standing at the peak the base would be out of sight over the horizon

[u/johnaross1990 → u/Overall-Mycologist-5]

I dunno man, I bet it’s a pretty lucrative racket.

There’s no shortage of rich pricks desperate to queue in the death zone so they can can take a picture.

And Sherpas have the business on lock. Who else can portage an ailing “mountaineer” on their back, at 8000m?

[u/Overall-Mycologist-5 → u/johnaross1990]

I agree with this one, AI will have hard time taking their jobs haha

[u/Xelikai_Gloom → u/Overall-Mycologist-5]

I can get a sharpa to carry me up Olympus Mons? Say less.

[u/egmalone → u/Xelikai_Gloom]

There's a fetish I'd never heard of before

[u/Same-Suggestion-1936 → u/Overall-Mycologist-5]

Mars technically has somewhat of an atmosphere so Sherpas would probably be fine there without space suits

[u/KitchenSandwich5499 → u/Overall-Mycologist-5]

Sure, but they will have to hire someone to carry the rocket parts

[u/AcademicRuin3087 → u/thebestoflimes]

What about Sharpies?

[u/SoftdomDadNextDoor → u/AcademicRuin3087]

Or Shar Peis?

[u/AcademicRuin3087 → u/SoftdomDadNextDoor]

Share pies 🥧

[u/31TeV → u/AcademicRuin3087]

[u/LloydIII → u/thebestoflimes]

DYK. Sherpa is an ethnic group. Not an occupation.

This is the true 40k experience.

Hear me out. What if we just launch sherpa? Way lighter.

[u/texgator1538 → u/thebestoflimes]

Many Sherpas died to bring us these rockets.

[u/Hobbits_can_fly → u/thebestoflimes]

I bet they could do it too, those guys are something else.

[u/digital-didgeridoo → u/thebestoflimes]

[u/PeyredB → u/thebestoflimes]

Sherpas are a Nepali tribe, not a local word for porter. You won't find Sherpas in Russia or the USA.

[u/IamBeingSarcasticFfs → u/thebestoflimes]

Don’t be stupid, it’s almost impossible to light them.
