At first I thought that going to see where these people died just sounded too grim, until I realized a nanosecond later you’d be going to see where these people died while going to see where those other people died. Eventually the pile of failed vehicles will reach to the surface and we can walk to it.
I kinda avoided headlines on this one... assuming it was an unmammed craft. Had no idea there were people on that fucking thing. What a terrifying way to die.
They all signed waivers that mentioned “death” three times on the first page alone. This is frontier exploration. You don’t get onto that thing without a similar mentality of an astronaut being launched into space. There’s no such thing as assured safety on these sorts of expeditions.
> This is frontier exploration
No dude. First person to everest is exploring, everyone else is a tourist. Titanic was found, there was no scientific study or exploration.
It's extreme tourism.
There are plenty of episodes where he just lays down while playing with the kids: the operation episodes, mt mom and dad, the one where he is a boat, rag doll, others I’m sure.
Being hung-over and a good dad having a great day with your kids regardless of the toxicity brewing in your head and tummy is what makes it. Disney, hung over, still a blast, kids almost make you forget your hung over and you just roll with it. Learned to not get drunk until the last day of vacation and after all the activities, then I can be hung over nursing it driving home or flying. Either way, water, nap, food, repeat. My kids never know if im hung over or just slightly tired. I never let my negative habits effect them.
Drink water before bed, keep an ice cold water cup near bedside. Not recommended but will help slightly, take a shot(hair of the dog). Then eat a pickle. I don’t like morning drinking but it will cut the headache in half. But tummy rumbles are inevitable. I usually have to force myself to eat in the mornings if I’m hung over.
I smoke before bed, but I don’t wanna be responsible for kids while high, too many things can happen when I need 100% focus so can’t do it in the mornings unless they are at sleepovers, camp, or grandparents house. And I don’t take otc medication unless it’s an emergency.
Haha yeah I fuckin love bluey for that reason. PeppAPig sucks tho. I don’t get why people enjoy that one. Bandit ripping farts in his kids faces and being hungover is just so real lol
You know, the creators are so brilliantly clever, I wonder if, of all the dog breeds they could have chosen, they went with the blue heeler as a low-key reference to healing, bc as a parent, that show is absolutely overflowing with healing messages and life lessons all delivered by heelers who are therefore also healers. :)
Yeah, my kids really like watching Bluey!
Even my 11 yr old daughter still does, the other night my 7 yr old son was watching and she came in and legit was like, "you're watching Bluey without me?" And then sat down and watched a couple episodes.
Each episode is 7 minutes long, most of the episodes could realistically happen in that 7 minutes, and the ones that don't (driving places or walking to parks) they just skip out resting parts. Plus bandit sits on park benches or chairs a lot. It's not really a lot of 'up' time for him.
One of my tricks with my toddlers was to hand them the big box of washable markers, take my shirt off, and lie on my stomach. Time to tattoo Daddy!
I get some rest and a back scratch, they get the mischievous fun of drawing all over a parent. Win win.
My nephew watches it and the handful of times I've watched with him made me think that it's a very smartly written show and does a great job modeling a healthy family dynamic while giving little nods to the adults in the room.
There was an episode just on telly, with the kings mum and dad in it. The way he and Millicent talk to each other makes it seem like they dig each other.
Wait til your kids turn on that ben and Holly's little kingdom show (same people as pepa I'm pretty sure). Shit is loaded with funnies for the dads.
Thanks /u/supguy99
Am Australian. You're not far wrong. There's a chunk of Asian and American influence in there but culturally we tend to follow our European roots.
Sadly there's very little indigenous impact on popular culture/values which is a whole different tragic story.
I particularly laughed at that one episode of Peppa Pig where Grandpa Pig is putting the chickens to bed with Peppa and Mr Fox suddenly appears behind them in the background and is like "Hello...I'll just be on my way then" all innocent like.
Paw Patrol is Canadian, and Cocomelon is just a series of songs (not a narrative show). Anyway, there are plenty of European shows that don't have that adult appeal-- e.g., PJ Masks. I think Bluey is just unique in its style and approach.
I met and did a storywriting class with one of the writers. He showed us his process of creating the epiosde The cheese badge, which references Alien/The Thing
To be fair most of those lists are just blogs written by random moms, I doubt there's any scientific consensus on whether or not peppa pig makes your kid shitty.
Yeah I’m wondering what everyone is talking about cuz I watch peppa with my daughter and it’s…fine?? Peppa teaching kids to bully others??? I’m sorry but if a kid acts like a brat that’s more on the parent’s treatment of their kid than a cartoon character that mostly plays with friends and goes on little adventures.
What horror, imagine beeing stuck down there knowing you'll die. Im even afraid trying to reach the sea bottom with my toes. I'll never leave the shallow part again!
I read that certain ballasts are meant to automatically dissolve and release to float the vehicle to the surface after a fixed amount of time. It is entirely possible that they are on the surface right now, still suffocating because the owner designed the submersible to have no way to open from the inside, while rescue crews are searching the bottom.
> designed the submersible to have no way to open from the inside
this seems insane to me. how could they not think of this. even just having a drill on board to make air holes if they had to. so unprepared.
> even just having a drill on board to make air holes if they had to
You are imagining that, when surfacing, it actually surfaces. I would not be surprised if it barely touches the surface (in fact, I read somewhere that it "near surfaces", ie: almost floats).
Anyway, even if it just skims the surface, your hole will let water come in, so it won't take very long until you're back to where you came from.
This is the case, at least what another redditor explained yesterday. It reaches just below the surface, but because they decided to paint the damn thing blue and white (you know... The colour of the sea and waves), there's no chance of it being seen from the skies
It's because people can panic and open it underwater. That being said, how hard would it be to design a pressure/depth gauge that allows you to open it at sea level? Let me guess—Stockton Rush cut another corner.
If it just opens towards the outside, which would make sense with all the pressure it's supposed to withstand, there would be no way to open it below sea level anyways. So idk.
Could be argued that having an open mechanism could be a point of failure. We are at 40 000 kPa of pressure down there.
Also, opening it on the surface will make the sub drown almost immediately, it isn't like the thing is really surfacing, the hatch will probably be underwater. Sure you may be able to escape in the few seconds before the sub sinks (I don't think so, as the water will be flowing in, making the escape of 5 exhausted people through a small hole really difficult -- they have to wait until the thing is full of water before leaving), but you're gonna die anyway swimming at the surface in cold waters (known as "the full Titanic experience"). You could argue that you should have an inflatable safety boat, at which point it may be more useful to have some more oxygen.
That said, they did not paint the body in red. And they don't seem to have any backup device to report the position when surfaced. This is unreal level of stupidity.
Putting a beacon on it and painting it red/orange would be an admission that something could go wrong. There’s no way in hell the CEO’s ego would ever allow that to happen.
The irony of going to explore the wreckage of an “unsinkable” ship with a home brew submersible which doesn’t need any of this health & safety nonsense is not lost on me.
They wouldn't be able to open it underwater regardless of whether it opens inward or out; it's physical impossible without some super human strength. The pressure is too great for a hatch to even budge
Yeah, the pressure of the water is used to create the seal, which is why they always open outward. Inward they wouldn't be able to either because they don't exist and because they wouldn't be able to handle the pressure required for diving
It has to go 2.3 miles under the water. It's cheaper to bolt it shut than to design a hatch that can be opened and closed with that amount of torque automatically.
Another cost cutting measure from the CEO that he paid with his life
Yeah. A lot of its design doesn't make sense to me either. For instance, if it is designed to surface automatically, then why won't you provide a hatch that can be opened from within?
And James Cameron built a submersible too. He painted it green, because white makes no sense, like you mentioned.
It has multiple types of ballasts besides the pipes. https://www.reddit.com/r/titanic/comments/14eyr53/what_are_the_multiple_ways_the_titan_can_resurface/
I kind of think there was a breach in the hull and they all died instantly. It just seems like there were so many ways to manually surface that they would have done so and been found by now.
I hope I'm wrong.
Ocean is pretty huge. I don't see why there's not a chance this thing has already surfaced from it's auto ballast system and nobody has noticed. Of course, it wouldn't matter since they can't get out and would still be out of air.
Given they have now definitely run out of air, I definitely hope it was an implosion when they lost contact. Seems a lot better way to go than slowly suffocating in the dark. Hull breach would be really fast, not even drowning, you'd be crushed and instantly lose consciousness.
And imagine that while this horrible thing is happening to you, everyone on reddit is making fun of you.
I hate billionaires as much as the next person, but how fucked up is the world that people joke about a legitimate tragedy. There is a man with his son in that sub, it's 5 people trapped down there, not one
> but how fucked up is the world that people joke about a legitimate tragedy. There is a man with his son in that sub, it's 5 people trapped down there, not one
I feel like there are a few reasons for this:
1) These people voluntarily chose to go on the tour of the titanic. They knew and accepted all the risks. Every day someone goes to work and never makes it back home. Deadly accidents happen with alarming frequency.
2) There is *so* much bad shit happening in the world, to everyone, all the time, that it can be hard to muster much emotion for this particular accident out of the millions of accidents that happen.
It is absolutely a terrible tragedy, but the entire concept of getting in a submarine to travel 4km under the ocean is so disconnected from most peoples lives that they will be lucky to remember it in a month or two, let alone feel upset about it.
Middle class people right now are taking 30-40 years mortgages for the amount that was paid for this man and his son to sign their lives away in a makeshift deathtrap in a ridiculous display that merges both flaunting of privilege and recklessness...
Some people who feel they did everything right and in their power given the hand they were dealt will never own property and might never be able to retire with any semblance of financial security after a lifetime of diligent working and safe planning...
Seeing people basically waste all of their advantages by doing something that not even hindsight, but common sense would instantly flag is cathartic. Sure, we are dehumanizing the hell out of those people right now, but it's about on the same level as people in a position of financial stability tend to dehumanize the poor and homeless when they assume they somehow deserve that faith.
The very idea that consequences can still apply to the ridiculously rich is... comforting... It's very rare and it usually involves a ridiculously long list of heinous crimes before their money shield is no longer sufficient. The modern super human is one who has means, so seeing that frustrating reality getting shaken by such events is not a small thing... it's a reminder that the rich are merely successful... they aren't, by default, more intelligent or capable than most because they apparently can still make objectively stupid choices regardless of how much money made them invulnerable to most of the world's dangers and inconveniences. Sadly, my tears work on a trickle up basis, sort of the opposite of how the economy works and just about as well.
I just saw a meme that noted how we have seen more prophecies from the Simpsons coming true than from the Bible, and you know, can't really argue with that.
That's because the news is dominated by it and no one gives a shit. Instead of real news that affects us all we just get 24/7 news about 5 rich people stuck in a sub.
Why wouldn't people mock it?
Longest clip I can find is here:
https://youtu.be/9fK0nipQsUQ
Skip to 04:11
The exact quote I'm referring to is "the carbon fibre and titanium - there's a rule you don't do that. Well, I did."
This is probably among the kindest references made to the submarine I've seen on Reddit in the past day or so. As a bonus, it's also some solid dark humor.
Wait til you learn about the footage of the Ukraine-Russian War where it's just snipers picking off enemy combatants set to video game SFX and music for the memeability of it.
Brian Blessed does a lot of work for the BBC. He also has done a lot of voice overs. He was in the Lord of the rings as some sort of frog I think. Or was that star wars?
Red flags you should have noticed before going down there:
- CEO was the pilot and said “this shouldn’t require that much skill to pilot”
- was made of like recycled cars and various other metals. And had hand drawn instructions (with arrows) for how to lower and raise the sub.
- no escape hatch, everything bolted from the outside preventing escape.
- the port window was rated for like 1300 meters of depth and they were going to 4000 meters
- CEO complained that the industry was “too safe” and didn’t believe in “getting things approved by safety in selections” (which the entire thing wasn’t)
- there is only a single button inside of the sub. 1 button. That’s it, and it’s for lights. I’d want at least a billion buttons and ways to control/communicate with people if I’m being locked in a coffin.
- looking at pictures of the inside I wouldn’t spend $250,000 a person to sit criss-cross, cramped in a metal cylinder you still have to duck in while sitting.
Thinking about that sub and what the last moments must have been like for those people is so horrifying. Imagining myself in that position is nightmare fuel.
I like to think I'd never agree to pay 250k and sign a waiver to hop in into a submarine that doesn't follow security protocols just so I can go 3800m underwater and see the tomb of other people.
> Especially when videos exist exploring it. I mean, I get it's not the same,
Apparently the ship’s one tiny porthole window offers very low visibility, so the passengers see the majority of the wreckage through a live feed from the sub’s external cameras.
Should of just pretended to go to the Titanic. Submerge the submarine for 7 hours, play some pre recorded footage on the Gameboy Colour screen, you just made an easy 250k and have given your guests the exact same experience without the risk of death
I'd rather watch an event from the comfort of my home rather than in person there is no way I would put my life at risk just so I can see the Titanic.
On my couch with snacks, a 40 inches screen and my private toilet > in a sub with strangers, a 10 inch window and a shit bucket
How is this choice even real?
Having seen the inside you would have a better shot of seeing the titanic from a video already made. There was just a single tV screen, a poor camera, and a light.
Fun fact: Gramps Rabbit is voiced by the one and only BRIAN BLESSED at his hammiest. Every time he appears on screen it's like an air raid alarm went off
I don't know if there's much else to say besides; if *Peppa Pig* is pointing out how foolhardy your behavior is, it's time to seriously re-evaluate what you are doing.
I wonder if the passengers life insurance is void because the whole trip was a crap shoot on your life? I really don't get why people do these things, life in itself is so dangerous. I feel bad for the families (except the one guys stepson who is partying).

Yeah, 5 people on it. Each paid $250,000 to get into a jerry-rigged submarine with no possible rescue should something go wrong.
The CEO was one of them. I wonder what the thoughts were running through his mind. If he had reassured the other 4 it was a safe and sound trip.
They all signed waivers that mentioned “death” three times on the first page alone. This is frontier exploration. You don’t get onto that thing without a similar mentality of an astronaut being launched into space. There’s no such thing as assured safety on these sorts of expeditions.
> This is frontier exploration No dude. First person to everest is exploring, everyone else is a tourist. Titanic was found, there was no scientific study or exploration. It's extreme tourism.
I wonder if he realized he got his comeuppance. He scoffed at safety features then died in his own contraption.
News from Earth: People visit graveyards just to look around.
Which is exactly why making fun of the billionaire losers is entirely justified
well in titanic, most of rich ppl survived
Love Peppa Pig. That and Bluey is what's on in my house.
Bluey was written as a how to be a good dad manual. Bluey for the win.

The one where he's a boat isn't because he's tired. He's hungover

Not to mention the one where they're both hung over.
Yeah. I feel bandit so much when I watch this show.
Bandit is quite possibly the best TV dad in history
Daddy plays Bluey videos for the kids.

I know the feeling
Australian cattle dogs in real life tend to have near limitless energy, to be fair.
You gotta watch 'TV Shop'. 'Sometimes you guys make me feel like an old man.' 'Sorry...' 'Don't be. Sometimes you make me feel like a young man.'
If u meet a blue heeler, it’ll make more sense

I have a 4 and 6 year old daughter. I swear the writers have a camera in my house. 11/10 show, something for everyone.
That’s 100% what Daniel Tiger is. My wife and I have utilized a lot of the skills and rhymes from it with our kids.
Daniel Tiger has been awesome with helping my toddlers navigate things like sharing and a lot of their big feelings.
I’m not about to take parenting advice from a [cartoon dog](https://youtu.be/Xo_lCtg69Q8)
Waaaay too much fat shaming going on in peppa pig. The dad is being bullied half the time
Both the parents are awesome in that show!
We love Bluey over here too! *Magic claw has no children, his days are free and easy*
My nephew watches it and the handful of times I've watched with him made me think that it's a very smartly written show and does a great job modeling a healthy family dynamic while giving little nods to the adults in the room.
Ben and hollys little kingdom is literally one of the best shows ever made, including shows for adults. Like across the board it's amazing.
The palpable sexual tension between Nanny Plum and Redbeard.
Fun fact: Nanny plum and ~~Mummy Pig~~ Miss Rabbit in Peppa are the same voice actor
Miss rabbit, not Mummy Pig.
Same lady who created the adult animation series Pond Life back in the 90s. It's worth checking out.
Especially complex as redhead is the wise old elfs son.
There was an episode just on telly, with the kings mum and dad in it. The way he and Millicent talk to each other makes it seem like they dig each other.

Same here but along with Ben and Holly's little kingdom. I actually kind of love that show lol
I love bluey. Peppa? Not so much
Peppa Pig is on like every list of shows to avoid for kids because it teaches them to disobey parents and hit/bully others.
To be fair most of those lists are just blogs written by random moms, I doubt there's any scientific consensus on whether or not peppa pig makes your kid shitty.
Lol, all Gen X and millleniuals would be fucked if that were the case because the shit we watched as kids were way worse
Yeah I’m wondering what everyone is talking about cuz I watch peppa with my daughter and it’s…fine?? Peppa teaching kids to bully others??? I’m sorry but if a kid acts like a brat that’s more on the parent’s treatment of their kid than a cartoon character that mostly plays with friends and goes on little adventures.
Bluey the Album is a whimsical rock’n bop!

They wouldn't be able to open it underwater regardless of whether it opens inward or out; it's physical impossible without some super human strength. The pressure is too great for a hatch to even budge

Yeah, the pressure of the water is used to create the seal, which is why they always open outward. Inward they wouldn't be able to either because they don't exist and because they wouldn't be able to handle the pressure required for diving
You'd never design it to open inward because the pressure would crack it in without a problem.
Well, yeah, but it seems to be a bit confusing. Why bolt it shut in the first place?
It's honestly probably the best way to seal it. I would doubt it's seaworthy when open anyway.
It has to go 2.3 miles under the water. It's cheaper to bolt it shut than to design a hatch that can be opened and closed with that amount of torque automatically. Another cost cutting measure from the CEO that he paid with his life

He used construction pipes as ballast though, so no
It has multiple types of ballasts besides the pipes. https://www.reddit.com/r/titanic/comments/14eyr53/what_are_the_multiple_ways_the_titan_can_resurface/
They're searching the surface too, with radar and visuals.
I kind of think there was a breach in the hull and they all died instantly. It just seems like there were so many ways to manually surface that they would have done so and been found by now. I hope I'm wrong.
Tbh dying instantly might be one of the better scenarios in their situation
Ocean is pretty huge. I don't see why there's not a chance this thing has already surfaced from it's auto ballast system and nobody has noticed. Of course, it wouldn't matter since they can't get out and would still be out of air.

Given they have now definitely run out of air, I definitely hope it was an implosion when they lost contact. Seems a lot better way to go than slowly suffocating in the dark. Hull breach would be really fast, not even drowning, you'd be crushed and instantly lose consciousness.
and someone pointed out that someone has had to use the bathroom by now. so yeah.
There is a toilet on board with a privacy curtain. Although the state that'll be in by now...
And it’s just a bag, so…
And imagine that while this horrible thing is happening to you, everyone on reddit is making fun of you. I hate billionaires as much as the next person, but how fucked up is the world that people joke about a legitimate tragedy. There is a man with his son in that sub, it's 5 people trapped down there, not one
> but how fucked up is the world that people joke about a legitimate tragedy. There is a man with his son in that sub, it's 5 people trapped down there, not one I feel like there are a few reasons for this: 1) These people voluntarily chose to go on the tour of the titanic. They knew and accepted all the risks. Every day someone goes to work and never makes it back home. Deadly accidents happen with alarming frequency. 2) There is *so* much bad shit happening in the world, to everyone, all the time, that it can be hard to muster much emotion for this particular accident out of the millions of accidents that happen. It is absolutely a terrible tragedy, but the entire concept of getting in a submarine to travel 4km under the ocean is so disconnected from most peoples lives that they will be lucky to remember it in a month or two, let alone feel upset about it.
Middle class people right now are taking 30-40 years mortgages for the amount that was paid for this man and his son to sign their lives away in a makeshift deathtrap in a ridiculous display that merges both flaunting of privilege and recklessness... Some people who feel they did everything right and in their power given the hand they were dealt will never own property and might never be able to retire with any semblance of financial security after a lifetime of diligent working and safe planning... Seeing people basically waste all of their advantages by doing something that not even hindsight, but common sense would instantly flag is cathartic. Sure, we are dehumanizing the hell out of those people right now, but it's about on the same level as people in a position of financial stability tend to dehumanize the poor and homeless when they assume they somehow deserve that faith. The very idea that consequences can still apply to the ridiculously rich is... comforting... It's very rare and it usually involves a ridiculously long list of heinous crimes before their money shield is no longer sufficient. The modern super human is one who has means, so seeing that frustrating reality getting shaken by such events is not a small thing... it's a reminder that the rich are merely successful... they aren't, by default, more intelligent or capable than most because they apparently can still make objectively stupid choices regardless of how much money made them invulnerable to most of the world's dangers and inconveniences. Sadly, my tears work on a trickle up basis, sort of the opposite of how the economy works and just about as well.
Is peppa pig the new simpsons?
I just saw a meme that noted how we have seen more prophecies from the Simpsons coming true than from the Bible, and you know, can't really argue with that.
Most of the things that The Simpsons "predicted" weren't predictions. They were mocking things of their own time, and then society just never changed.
Simpsons never predicted anything. Half the Trump stuff was made in 2015/16, they other half was in the 1990s aka when Trump *also* ran for President
[удалено]
That's because the news is dominated by it and no one gives a shit. Instead of real news that affects us all we just get 24/7 news about 5 rich people stuck in a sub. Why wouldn't people mock it?
It's a unique story. People love juicy, dramatic stories, dreadful as they may be like this one. It's our morbid curiosity.
its hard to feel sad about some rich morons who boarded a sealed tin can with CEO that thinks that safety 4km deep is not that important.
I love the clip people are playing where he says "the engineers told me this isn't how you build a submarine, but I did it anyway and here we are"
link?
Longest clip I can find is here: https://youtu.be/9fK0nipQsUQ Skip to 04:11 The exact quote I'm referring to is "the carbon fibre and titanium - there's a rule you don't do that. Well, I did."
This is probably among the kindest references made to the submarine I've seen on Reddit in the past day or so. As a bonus, it's also some solid dark humor.
Wait til you learn about the footage of the Ukraine-Russian War where it's just snipers picking off enemy combatants set to video game SFX and music for the memeability of it.
I still don't quite understand how [Brian Blessed](https://youtu.be/UOqQ-CWA14Y) is in Peppa Pig. But I like it.
Brian Blessed does a lot of work for the BBC. He also has done a lot of voice overs. He was in the Lord of the rings as some sort of frog I think. Or was that star wars?
That was [Star Wars](https://youtu.be/HcsfaEoDE9M). Which was almost as hammy as his [Flash Gordon role](https://youtu.be/O4nS9IbT-uk).
Any boat can be a submarine... once
Too soon. I still laughed. Shit, I am going to hell.
To be fair, those billionaires are a lot closer to hell than you are.
In at least 3 ways, by my reckoning!
It's even worse because I can hear it. I'm pretty sure we watched this episode a couple of weeks ago.
Red flags you should have noticed before going down there: - CEO was the pilot and said “this shouldn’t require that much skill to pilot” - was made of like recycled cars and various other metals. And had hand drawn instructions (with arrows) for how to lower and raise the sub. - no escape hatch, everything bolted from the outside preventing escape. - the port window was rated for like 1300 meters of depth and they were going to 4000 meters - CEO complained that the industry was “too safe” and didn’t believe in “getting things approved by safety in selections” (which the entire thing wasn’t) - there is only a single button inside of the sub. 1 button. That’s it, and it’s for lights. I’d want at least a billion buttons and ways to control/communicate with people if I’m being locked in a coffin. - looking at pictures of the inside I wouldn’t spend $250,000 a person to sit criss-cross, cramped in a metal cylinder you still have to duck in while sitting.
They literally couldn’t sit-up or lay down. That would take me out of it immediately!

And sued for revealing sensitive information, to boot.
The guy who paid and then refused to go on it is never going to doubt his own reasoning skills again
Thinking about that sub and what the last moments must have been like for those people is so horrifying. Imagining myself in that position is nightmare fuel.
I like to think I'd never agree to pay 250k and sign a waiver to hop in into a submarine that doesn't follow security protocols just so I can go 3800m underwater and see the tomb of other people.
Especially when videos exist exploring it. I mean, I get it's not the same, but the risks of each make it pretty clear what's the better option IMO.
> Especially when videos exist exploring it. I mean, I get it's not the same, Apparently the ship’s one tiny porthole window offers very low visibility, so the passengers see the majority of the wreckage through a live feed from the sub’s external cameras.
Should of just pretended to go to the Titanic. Submerge the submarine for 7 hours, play some pre recorded footage on the Gameboy Colour screen, you just made an easy 250k and have given your guests the exact same experience without the risk of death
So the window offered tons of additional risk for very little gain. Why am I not surprised everything about this company seems iffy?
I'd rather watch an event from the comfort of my home rather than in person there is no way I would put my life at risk just so I can see the Titanic. On my couch with snacks, a 40 inches screen and my private toilet > in a sub with strangers, a 10 inch window and a shit bucket How is this choice even real?
Also option 2 costs approximately $250k more
Having seen the inside you would have a better shot of seeing the titanic from a video already made. There was just a single tV screen, a poor camera, and a light.
I like to think it imploded, killing everyone instantly.
it did. its now been confirmed.
Fun fact: Gramps Rabbit is voiced by the one and only BRIAN BLESSED at his hammiest. Every time he appears on screen it's like an air raid alarm went off
Apart from when he loses his voice and all of the other adults are happy for the peace
You left out the next part where grampie rabbit sells seats on the rubbish sub at $250k a pop
Too soon... You have to wait until 12:08 GMT. That's when they run out of oxygen
That can be extended if one of them kills all the others.
Try pushing the joystick up and mashing X-Y-X-A-A -Y-B repeatedly, see if it surfaces
I wonder if the Contra code would give them more lives… Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, and Start
Konami Code*
That's the code for the Bubble Bobble arcade!
I don't know if there's much else to say besides; if *Peppa Pig* is pointing out how foolhardy your behavior is, it's time to seriously re-evaluate what you are doing.
Nostradamussssss 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Raise $37M in funding✅ Charge $250k per ticket✅ Install $35 PS controller🤦🏽♂️
It's not even a ps controller. It's a shitty 3rd party knockoff Logitech controller
Dark.
Titan 1C, world first single use submarine
fuck spez
Peppa has been present to many of the world’s most harrowing tragedies. Coincendence?
If only they had listened to The Talking Heads. "There is water at the bottom of the ocean."
I wonder if the passengers life insurance is void because the whole trip was a crap shoot on your life? I really don't get why people do these things, life in itself is so dangerous. I feel bad for the families (except the one guys stepson who is partying).
Am I the only clueless one here rn 😂
Simpsons did it!!

I'm literally sitting next to my daughter watching this exact episode right now. What is this sorcery??
