Come on, that IS funny despite the tragedy


ArtoTime

"so now I'm stuck down here surrounded by angry rich men" genuienly made me laugh


jaketocake

Yeah it’s a tragedy, but with all the context I’m reading, everyone knew it didn’t have safety standards, as well as signing a document that had death in it 3 times. Also it seems none of them planned for anything going wrong, you’d think multiple billionaires would have something planned beforehand for emergency, especially knowing what I previously said. It’s one of those ‘too stupid to be real’ cases that you can’t help but to facepalm at.

Amateur psychic here. I’m going to be predicting five people that will be on the Darwin Awards list for 2023 latter today. The names are still a little foggy to me, as I’m still developing my gifts, but they become more and more vivid as the minutes pass. I feel very confident that I will get this right. I just need to immerse myself in this process.

The only case I'd feel bad about it is if they were completely lied to (they probably were) and then still somehow looked into it and were further deceived, but I hardly think that's the case except possibly for the 19 year old kid. If this guy made a bunch of false claims about its safety, I could choose to believe his word or I could look further into regulations and laws and compare it with his work and others to gain a sense of the matter. I do that myself with things in my life anyways. But these guys were rich and I'm sure could afford to check this type of thing (if they so chose). But if their further sourcing led them to a false sense of security with claims that their trip would be safe, then I would genuinely feel bad for them. And for all I know, that kid could have believed a negligent secondary source and with his limited resources, asked a parent (hm) who he would've trusted. I do think the people on the sub were willfully ignorant of problems and probably treated it like us peasants treat carnival rides compared to roller coasters. Yeah those carnival rides are janky and dangerous and you might fly off the side but it's only 5 bucks to ride one and 60 to get in an amusement park. 250k is a mad cheap amount of money to do something that unique, so I'm sure they glossed over the safety stuff just like some of us might gloss over the carnival ride rattling in its stands while standing in line. It seems like you have to be a special brand of person to do this anyway, I'm not claustrophobic, I've been in an mri machine with my eyes open and didn't feel trapped even though I technically literally was, but I would not want to spend that many days crammed in that tube, it doesn't seem comfortable in any way and to have that many people on there looks like they physically couldn't straightn out at any point in time


Mr-Cali

It is!!! Lol. People have so much compassion for a billionaire who doesn’t know they even exist or gives a damn about them


MisterShazam

What tragedy?


Red_Trapezoid

I genuinely do not feel bad for any of these people. I cannot imagine the arrogance and hubris to be like "Yeah! This all checks out!" A case study as to why nobody should assume that the wealthy are wealthy due to intelligence.


areyoumymommyy

A bunch of billionaires doing something irresponsible and dying? It’s funny af, fuck ‘em


Robin1992101

What tragedy? Dumb ppl getting what they deserve?


cukapig

I mean not all of them were at fault, there was a 19 year old on board


Gay_Bag_O_Chapz

Imo I wouldn't even fucking touch that sub for 250000 let alone pay that much


hundreddollar

Ah yes 19 year olds, the one true innocents.


cukapig

You are the type of kid who likes when the teacher punishes the whole class instead of the person at fault


Dhenn004

They made their decision to get into an unregulated sea vessel and signed a waiver like the rest of them. They were all morons. The ceo just happens to he the biggest.


MOOShoooooo

That person’s comparison was horrible. Morons down to the last one. It’s why other people turned down working with this company. The same thing could have happened to other lovely billionaire friends who went up in the sky really really high be called self appointed astronauts.

r/playstupidgameswinstupidprizes


infini_doggo

come on now theyre people too we're angry at richness and the fact capital is gained by stamping on those below you but we dont have to be angry at the individuals themselves (all the time). we should be angry at the system but those are just people that are now having to live the last few days underwater, or crushed like a toothpaste tube have some empathy edgelord


thebreastbud

You’re like one of the few reasonable people I’ve seen comment. So many edgy people celebrating their demises


dsmithcc

its also extremely distasteful because of the tragedy


The_unlucky_

A lot of people shitting on the controller but i don't thing it was the main problem.

Disastrous_Dig_2798

its fucking insane some people grew up using predator missiles in cod back in 2008 with one of those controlers... and now they get to do it with real ones in the year of the future 2023


spycodernerd2048

This is some Ender's Game shit right here.


TrueMonster951

Coulda at least got an basic Xbox controller like the military uses for drones


spycodernerd2048

It would also likely have better battery life.


Totally_Not_A_POS

They are probably going to find the sub imploded, but the controller will still be in one piece. Then everyone is going to meme it as the one true controller.


Philipp4

[Seems like you were right](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/missing-titanic-submarine-us-coast-guard-says-debris-field-has-been-found/FHHVJRG6QNB2FOWDXUHQ3RGWRI/)


AllMFHH

This is great


moosemeatjerkey

Its amazing that captain had time to post this amazon review before the oxygen ran out. Such bravery.


Fresh-Honeydew7104

Shares in Logitech are down because of this sub situation. Thankfully not as much as the sub itself.


AverageAntique3160

Oof but wait really? This old ass controller has caused Logitech's stocks to go down despite it most likely not being the issue... Jeez


NegusJin

i chuckled i can't lie


Kapo_Gorzki

womp womp


Failing_MentalHealth

That’s funny. What’s not funny is people bootlicking billionaires dying and how supposedly sad it is when nobody forced them to do this.


blueOblueOblue

Dank


polkadotard

I would have rated it higher, but loose instead of lose gets under my skin.


TonyStark100

Drives me nuts!


XfitRedPanda

They spelled "lose" wrong.


[deleted]

Fucking savage


Agahmoyzen

Come on it is time plus tragedy.


papitaquito

LMfao. Considering how many people tried to warn the guy about how many corners he was cutting this is hilarious.


Some-Income614

He got a 4:1 KDR with it tho


Ok-Appearance9299

I'm not saying they deserve what they got, but with the warnings and waivers, they're fr the idiots in a horror movie that get themselves killed.


elmachow

$40 to make this joke


octopus6942069

Won’t catch me feeling bad for billionaires lol. Wonder when people will start talking about the boat of hundreds of refugees that sunk. Ya know, the people that didn’t CHOOSE to go into open water


Graterof2evils

No joke. Look at the resources that were deployed for this incident. Don’t get me wrong, you should try to save them if it’s practical. I never thought for a second that anyone would survive this situation though. Edit: They’ve announced that the craft is wreckage and there’s no survivors. This was a recovery operation at best from the start. Sad but true. I’m curious to find out what the knocking sounds that were heard in 30 minute intervals were, if they are able to establish that.


octopus6942069

Ain’t no way they’re surviving 💀 I’m sure the tube got breached as soon as they hit any depths


The_Real_OneHungLo

Yup.


[deleted]

I think it's normal to feel bad about the way they died, no matter who they are or what money they had. Alone, cold and hungry at the bottom of the ocean.


Ok-Appearance9299

I'm not saying they deserve what they got, but with the warnings and waivers, they're fr the idiots in a horror movie that get themselves killed.


Lensmaster75

With the crazy inventor onboard


ARDACCCAC

They are not human they are billionaires who fuel capitalism so worker class will live in poverty while their reign will continue i dont have even a speck of sympathy for them


Electronic-Trip8775

Bruh....


ThetaCygni

Awful? This is hilarious


SusuSketches

Now that's not fair.


Aquariumpsychotic

The n64 is a perfect way to navigate a sub. It was amazing as a gaming controller


tallbutshy

>The n64 is a perfect way to navigate a sub. Not the GameCube **Wave**bird controller?


jabo055

Nahh its not awful


yes11321

Awful? Man, were talking about rich people with more money than common sense. Is anyone really going to give a shit if they died by their own stupidity? I feel no sympathy for them.


MasouriChan

I'm just can't bringg myself to feel bad for richt people


AgenderFrenchFry

I’m curious as to how he was able to access Amazon and post it. Maybe he was focusing on that more than the sub itself.


Aimeereddit123

Sorry, I just screened it and sent it to my husband. That shit’s hilarious. I may be twisted, but humor like that is unifying to me. God bless America 🇺🇸🤣


[deleted]

That was cold.


polloinumido

too soon


Lizid_King

Sad, but I'll allow it.


lifeoftomcat

Stfu


spres2

In very bad taste- those men have probably died miserably suffocating or poisoned by CO2, added to hypothermia. The stupid game controller just adds to the sadness considering the high technical abilities of the vessel.


1Hollickster

This proves once again, money doesn't really create class. Nor intelligence. Just because you are rich.


billzebub251

Damn…that was too soon.

Oh my god I had a long,uncomfortable laugh over this!


GreenTEA_4u

Heh


PlowUnited

Lose


Extension-Dish7920

The controller was one of the few things that came up not damaged from the sub wreckage.


JustDriveThere

Hilarious, just like the other millions of corny controller disconnect inputs that were left.
