>The watch officer and sonar operators are discussing an important philosophical question: would it be more painful to be struck by a whole tuna or a tin of tuna?

Of course the tin of tuna would hurt more. And, I know this is not the question, but being hit by a can of tuna is more probable haha.

But jokes aside, it seems all the monotony does get to them. And such discussions are necessary to maintain ones sanity. I would be a little conflicted if I had such a job. On one hand, the boring routine is the best case, because it means there are no active threats and thus no war. But then again, I'd be secretly looking forward to a bit of action - something to make me feel alive

You must mean a small tuna. A bluefin weighs up to 250kg / 550lb according to a quick search. Then again, if that hits you hard enough, it won’t hurt at all

[monk1]

That's the point.. the whole tuna will most likely send you to eternal sleep

Question is if you lose consciousness before the pain hits

[4gotunameagain]

Being hard and small, the tuna can can produce much more localised and sharp pain. If the whole tuna is dropped on your lower body from the third floor and turns it into mush it would also hurt though. But I still vote for tuna can.

[alwayseasy]

A dropped 500g can of tuna from the third floor aimed at your lower body will hurt less than 250kg of tuna dropped from the same height.

Most definitely, but a can of tuna shot by a tuna can cannon? The argument does not specify similar circumstances!

Also where it hits you. If it swims through your leg I fear you will feel it for some time.

Now if it hits you square in the chest, lights out.
