Would be nice if more Billionaires end up sinking into the Atlantic if you ask me.

    Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years, this mission is likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023

    I think he was onto something there.

    I was just going to post about this since I saw it a few seconds ago on tiktok but wanted to see if someone else did it. $250K dollars to go in a sub and see a shipwreck… TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS??? When I read they paid that much my instant thought was “rich people are fucking stupid.”

    Yes, I’ll admit this is horrifying, I have thalassophobia so anything do do with oceans, lakes, deep rivers, scares the hell out of me but I still have a tiny smidgen of empathy as being lost underwater is terrifying.

    But damn, $250K could buy a house, it’s life changing money and yet they spent it to see a boat? The titanic is well documented enough I don’t think it’s worth taking oneself deep underwater just to see it. This is such a waste of time, money, and life. Stop fucking with the oceans, we quite literally do not belong there.

    Also now we got more people thinking Megalodon is still alive so that’s just fantastic…
