We're putting Brad Meltzer on it. The possibility of a Confederate plot to sink it is our best lead.

I'm working on a documentary that will air April 12 on History. Trust me, through a 2010 expedition that mapped the entire wreckage site for the first time, we've learned some very interesting things.

This image depresses me. I wish life was really like this. We need more fantastical in the world.

Also, humans think so much about themselves as a species. It would be nice if they could be put in their place.

you gotta watch some discovery and national geographic, there is enough cool shit to learn on those channels, unfortunately there is also a lot of shit programming that shouldn't even be on those networks but the other stuff is plain amazing, also there are quite a few good shows to watch that are just purely for entertainment (community/parks and rec/the office) but isn't that what tv was for in the first place? just for entertainment

Do you think whales ever swim around 200 m under water, looking around for something to eat, and just totally freak out because it's so dark and cold down there?

I bet that's why they are always leaping out of the water. They suddenly imagine something bigger than them coming out of the deep and are all "NOPE."

[–]Lampmonster1 59 points60 points ago

Nah, they're born and live their whole lives under the crushing pressure of the ocean. For them being in the open air is terrifying. Jumping is their extreme sport.

Judging by the top 20 or so comments, I think people just upvote and comment with paying attention to/caring what subreddit it is.

I wish their votes didn't count.

It is revisionist -- that says "HMS Titanic," but it was named RMS Titanic

And it didn't even say RMS on the hull. It just read "Titanic."

All I know is that when I posted it, I didn't get the "this link has been submitted before" screen. In the vast expanses of reddit, I don't doubt something like this has been up before, I just genuinely didn't intentionally repost.

The picture gives the name as HMS (His Majesty's Ship) Titanic, which is incorrect, as this is only given to warships.

The Titanic held the prefix RMS, Royal Mail Ship, as it worked under a royal mail contract to take post overseas.

This clearly adds to my theorem that, assuming that the titanic rules over Godzilla; abstractly creates a conceptual idea~like notion, having concepts rooted in scientific endeavors, religious history interpretations & troll revisionist word gobble de goo. And as such, we are all made of brain cell activity, & some of that activity meets up occasionally, like many many minds on reddit, where an OP can make or simply post a cool photoshop project that both r/atheism & r/christianity, if they smoked a bowl together, would enjoy blazingly. WWJD, I say the anointed, is also said to be double jointed. o_0
