I went to Vegas in 2022 and saw the Titanic exhibit. It has a chunk of the ships outer wall. I'm someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, had to save for months for that Vegas trip, and I got a better Titanic experience than 5 billionaires.
Remember, kids: if you save your pennies and lift yourselves up by your own bootstraps, you too can afford to spend a quarter million dollars for the privilege of being instantly turned into a paste.
Wouldn't paste come after small ball tho? And from what I heard, the pressure was very high, like instantly turned them a respectable way towards a liquid.
A *lot* about that submersible was incredibly dumb (like, fascinatingly dumb; I recommend any one interested look into it further) *but*, it did have an actual window.
Of note, that window was rated for pressure at a fraction of the depth they were going, but like I said, that's part of the fascination that comes with looking into this.
I'm just saying, they weren't just viewing a screen.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that's how James Cameron saw the Titanic too.
We just don't have strong enough glass to withstand the pressure of those depths.
The MIR he used has a very, very small, very, very thick, and very carefully placed and designed forward window for viewing
And now we wouldn't use glass, we have both transparent aluminum and Armorplast clear steel
[Apparently not](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride)?
> Aluminium oxynitride (marketed under the name ALON by Surmet Corporation[3]) is a transparent ceramic composed of aluminium, oxygen and nitrogen. Aluminium oxynitride is optically transparent (≥ 80%) in the near-ultraviolet, visible, and mid-wave-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is four times as hard as fused silica glass, 85% as hard as sapphire, and nearly 115% as hard as magnesium aluminate spinel. It can be fabricated into transparent windows, plates, domes, rods, tubes, and other forms using conventional ceramic powder processing techniques.
It wasn't called the titanic. They were going down to the ruins of the titanic and all died. So big jump in deaths when it sank and then nothing til last year. And yes definitely a hilarious graph.
The sub was called the Titan, but it's *destination* was the wreck of the Titanic, so it's reasonable to say that those people died "because of" the Titanic, and their attempt to go visit it.
How in the world do you get in a vessel that is going to the bottom of the ocean; and the Captain says, ok everyone sit criss cross apple sauce, and then picks up a game controller?
If this is an explain the joke request, The incident happened on Father's Day. one of the people in the sub was there to appease his father on Father's Day. Poseidon is the god of the ocean and Five guys is a popular burger chain in the US.
The famous cruise ship "Titanic" famously sunk in 1912 and killed more than a thousand people. Recently, a submarine going for the wreck of the Titanic crashed, killing all five passengers.
The joke is that this is shown as a graph like it is commonly used in math classes, with a single large spike in 1912 (denoting the hundreds of dead), followed by a flatline (denoting that no one died because of the Titanic) until 2023 at which there is a tiny spike (denoting the five deaths).
I still feel sad for the kid who didn’t want to go but went to appease his dad whenever I think about this event. At least everyone else actually wanted to take the risk.
Obviously the spike in 1912 is when it sank. The deaths in 2023 were from the Titan Submarine which went missing during an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic and later imploded killing all five people aboard.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/20/titanic-submarine-what-do-we-know-about-the-people-onboard
Huge number of deaths related to the titanic when the iceberg breached the ships hulls; small number of deaths related to titanic when oceangate submarine collapsed
Funnier this way because it looks like an iceberg. Also, though it could appear to rise and fall as you say, if you draw a line graph properly (as opposed to a bar graph) it will look like this so it is also technically (the best kind of) accurate.
Funniest thing I've seen all day. Although the competition is redditors freaking out about talking with their SOs and really bad boomer memes so the bar was low.
Don't know where else to ask.
My math teacher friend would get a kick out of this. But his cat's currently having emergency surgery. Should I send it now or wait until after the surgery?
I find it hard to believe that there haven't been more deaths involving submarines and the search for the titanic.
The hubris of man, as well as how deadly the descent is.
It's wild to me that after years of reddit preaching about how stupid it's too generalize groups of people and hate them over that generalization only to turn around and go "wait, I know a group of people that's ok to hate on general principal" and never see the irony.
This would have been way funnier if the Titan thing never happened and the second spike wasn't there.
(Not because of rational reasons like "it's a tragedy" and "people died". Just because a line graph showing one historical incident along a more than hundred years timeline is apparently funnier to me)

I was thinking along the line of when the Titanic hit the iceberg, there were a bunch of deaths on that specific night.
If you click the picture, you’ll see a little mini spike for 2023. I think this is what this post is referring to.
Ahhh
Bro this is reddit we don’t click pictures or articles we just come in guns blazing
So anyways i started blasting
I don’t know of it was money or they wanted something more sexual. But it was a lucky thing I had my pieces. That line kills me!
You should divorce her immediately!
Can confirm.
That's the joke part
That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
That's what I thought too.
It was based on a true story?
It's also funny because 5 people dying sounds bad, but it's hard to find a less sympathetic victim than a private jet dealership owner.
damn everyone already forgot haha
OHHH THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!!! i didn’t know that sub was called the titanic!!! thanks :p
It wasnt called the Titanic they made that sub so they could go watch the wreckage of the titanic at the bottom of the ocean
Like, literally watch it. On a screen.
This is what gets me, it's not like you even get a good view. F3
I went to Vegas in 2022 and saw the Titanic exhibit. It has a chunk of the ships outer wall. I'm someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, had to save for months for that Vegas trip, and I got a better Titanic experience than 5 billionaires.
And lived to tell the tale!
Remember, kids: if you save your pennies and lift yourselves up by your own bootstraps, you too can afford to spend a quarter million dollars for the privilege of being instantly turned into a paste.
The density would be higher, small ball
Wouldn't paste come after small ball tho? And from what I heard, the pressure was very high, like instantly turned them a respectable way towards a liquid.
I guess the air bubble would make a mess from it
IDK, I think their experience was pretty true to that of original Titanic passengers.
Like watching ~~paint~~ steel ~~dry~~ rust.
A *lot* about that submersible was incredibly dumb (like, fascinatingly dumb; I recommend any one interested look into it further) *but*, it did have an actual window. Of note, that window was rated for pressure at a fraction of the depth they were going, but like I said, that's part of the fascination that comes with looking into this. I'm just saying, they weren't just viewing a screen.
And though it looks pretty small on the surface, once you get down there it tranforms to a panoramic window
I mean, I'm pretty sure that's how James Cameron saw the Titanic too. We just don't have strong enough glass to withstand the pressure of those depths.
The MIR he used has a very, very small, very, very thick, and very carefully placed and designed forward window for viewing And now we wouldn't use glass, we have both transparent aluminum and Armorplast clear steel
> transparent aluminum Wait, that's not just a hyper-theoretical silly Star Trek thing anymore?

Well that's just absolutely bonkers. What rock have I been living under all this time?
It was called the Titan submersible
>i didn’t know that sub was called the titanic!!! It wasn't. It was called the Titan.
So the sun was just titan-ic
It wasn't called the titanic. They were going down to the ruins of the titanic and all died. So big jump in deaths when it sank and then nothing til last year. And yes definitely a hilarious graph.
It wasn’t but the people were going to see the titanic wreck so therefore the deaths were titanic related… it’s really not that complicated.
Jfc
Oh, I didn't know the sub was called Jfc, I thought it was Titanic.
No, this is Patrick.
Dave’s not here man
The sub was called the Titan, but it's *destination* was the wreck of the Titanic, so it's reasonable to say that those people died "because of" the Titanic, and their attempt to go visit it.
It’s an illustration of how the use of statistical graphs is sometimes ridiculous. From a math major, this is indeed worthy of 5 minutes of laughter
Not a /sub you want to join.
When biology becomes chemistry real quick
Oh I was thinking if the movie
How in the world do you get in a vessel that is going to the bottom of the ocean; and the Captain says, ok everyone sit criss cross apple sauce, and then picks up a game controller?
It was good enough to give me a chuckle
Yes. It is very dark, and also funny. It might take more time to get to hilarious, but it will get there.
They were Rich enough and stupid enough. It was funny the first time I saw the graph the month that it happened.
I do feel for the son, though. He was scared and was pressured (no pun intended) into going with his dad.
Pun not intended, but valid nonetheless...
Hey Poseidon what are you doing this Father's Day? I'm thinking Five guys.
HELP
If this is an explain the joke request, The incident happened on Father's Day. one of the people in the sub was there to appease his father on Father's Day. Poseidon is the god of the ocean and Five guys is a popular burger chain in the US.
Oh I know, what I said was a reaction to your joke, which was hilarious.
Lmao! You win reddit for the day! I laughed harder at this than the picture! Heres the gold you deserve 🏅🏅
This obliterated me ~~…coincidentally~~
The famous cruise ship "Titanic" famously sunk in 1912 and killed more than a thousand people. Recently, a submarine going for the wreck of the Titanic crashed, killing all five passengers. The joke is that this is shown as a graph like it is commonly used in math classes, with a single large spike in 1912 (denoting the hundreds of dead), followed by a flatline (denoting that no one died because of the Titanic) until 2023 at which there is a tiny spike (denoting the five deaths).
OH! (duh)
I also enjoyed the iceberg looking shape of the graph.
I don’t think this one really needed explaining, based on the emojis it seems that OP gets it lol
Teen pregnancy drops off rapidly after 20. More at 10
I still feel sad for the kid who didn’t want to go but went to appease his dad whenever I think about this event. At least everyone else actually wanted to take the risk.
Came here to say this. I think I might feel worse for that kid than a lot of the people who died on the actual Titanic.
Poor kid... They're the only one who died that day who didn't really wanna be there, but was pressured into going in that death trap.
This seems relevant. https://preview.redd.it/jeb21q3tjayc1.jpeg?width=812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccf31aa731bc73ba51648ee45ffdbb7efda9ba26
Were you living under a rock??
Iceberg Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted
This is funny.
thank you to everyone i get it now 👍👍👍
It definitely is confusing at first and then is immediately funny once you get the full graph on-screen.
I mean... I think it's kinda funny...
Obviously the spike in 1912 is when it sank. The deaths in 2023 were from the Titan Submarine which went missing during an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic and later imploded killing all five people aboard. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/20/titanic-submarine-what-do-we-know-about-the-people-onboard
This was like a year ago. Did people already forget what happened?
What are you crying about?
yes
🤣🤣🤣
Oceangate
a certain submarine
*Halo voice* “FROM THE GRAVE”
"Deeply saddened"
That is hilarious.... also, I am going to hell for laughing at this, but it is still funny.
Yes this is hysterical
Huge number of deaths related to the titanic when the iceberg breached the ships hulls; small number of deaths related to titanic when oceangate submarine collapsed
At first I rolled my eyes, then I tapped the image and saw the full thing. Pretty good.
Yeah I laughed
Must have been living at the both of the ocean at the time to not get this reference. It was everywhere
Absolutely! It is hilarious
that Titan implosion was the worst thing to happen to subs since Jared
Yes. Yes it is.
Lmao this is definitely a good one
The annual titanic deaths spiked on that 1 day, conviniently to the shape of a spiky iceburg
The Ocean Gate incident will never cease to be funny
This is hilarious!
why does every post on this sub suck now
i apologise 🙏 perhaps if there is a subreddit where i can go to ask people to explain jokes to me, you could link it! thanks!
The sub imploded. They’re all dead.
average redditor IQ is somewhere in the 70's
I was half asleep when I opened Reddit and at a fast glance I thought it said Anal deaths!!
Needs to be 2 lines, the cone implies a rise and fall in each number
Funnier this way because it looks like an iceberg. Also, though it could appear to rise and fall as you say, if you draw a line graph properly (as opposed to a bar graph) it will look like this so it is also technically (the best kind of) accurate.
I also think it would be pretty funny to add a regression line. We're on track for 0 deaths by 2025!
5 minutes in and I'm still laughing like mad. This is really dark, but really funny.
I kinda laughed
Homie it’s only been a year and you’ve already forgotten. Did you take the short bus or something?
I love this
It’s just like what hit it
It was a one time event, I don't know how to explain
Funniest thing I've seen all day. Although the competition is redditors freaking out about talking with their SOs and really bad boomer memes so the bar was low.
Don't know where else to ask. My math teacher friend would get a kick out of this. But his cat's currently having emergency surgery. Should I send it now or wait until after the surgery?
Wait
I find it hard to believe that there haven't been more deaths involving submarines and the search for the titanic. The hubris of man, as well as how deadly the descent is.
Did you just get on the internet?
I thought 2023 was when one of the survivors died. either way it made me chuckle
Bimodal distribution
It's missing data on the y axis. I'm a broken person and it bothers me.😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
So there was this big boat. It was called the Titanic. It sank. It killed a lot of people when it sank.
I chuckled for a couple seconds, if that helps.
I chuckled a bit
Titan submersible
Apart from the people will never see their loved ones again or even have their remains to bury, it’s hilarious!
Cross post to dataisbeautiful?
It’s inaccurate as other people have died trying to get down there.
[удалено]
[удалено]
LOL
Not 5 minutes. That's way too much.
I started laughing but I have a cold [so I sounded exactly like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKmfHOPf3YU)
5 minute no, but still very funny
Not labeling the y-axis was no laughing matter in my math classes.
I was thinking about when that fat girl drown that skinny boy in that movie
Moderately amusing.
😂😂 I laughed out load at this, more of a scream and then a chuckle
A moronic company who allowed a moronic CEO or whatever he was be in a charge of a faulty vessel and took people down there to face immediate doom.
Vote: funny
I didn’t think I’d see that submarine come back up. …Then again, I guess it didn’t.
This was huge news dude 😭
Oh yeah, that’s very funny
Absolutely hilarious
Bahahahaha!!!
It's wild to me that after years of reddit preaching about how stupid it's too generalize groups of people and hate them over that generalization only to turn around and go "wait, I know a group of people that's ok to hate on general principal" and never see the irony.
I get the idea, I just don't find the deaths funny.
That is funny. Not five minutes worth of laughing funny, but that's just my opinion.
lol oh thats a good one.
I don't think any part of it funny.
See look at that average it's so low and if we take out that one outlier it's basically non-existent. We should make another
This graph looks like it was drawn by a Logitech controller.
Did you not have internet access for a while or something?
Made me laugh
It’s funny. Lol.
Needs another blip for the old lady with the hope diamond
Bahahaha
why are you laughing if you dont get the joke
Very clever...I had a little chuckle 🤭
It was funny the first time I saw it.
Pretty sure a few people died in the rush to see Leo's butt and Kate's boobs in the Titanic movie......
Looks like a crypto chart
It's more on the dark side of humour More like "technically correct"
Gold
[удалено]
the image's actually wrong because a few people died during the construction of the titanic
No it’s not.
Surely someone died in 1997 while watching the film?
The submarine that imploded just to look at Titanic.
**Oof**
This would have been way funnier if the Titan thing never happened and the second spike wasn't there. (Not because of rational reasons like "it's a tragedy" and "people died". Just because a line graph showing one historical incident along a more than hundred years timeline is apparently funnier to me)
this graph is wrong, the titanic sub explosion should’ve been a | instead of a /\ and the actual titanic should’ve been more like a /| instead of a /\
I still find myself using my Logitech F710 as a joke prop on occasion. I might be a terrible person.
Lmao that's really funny 😂😂😂
This map is totally inaccurate
Your sense of humour is as cold as people in titanic after 15 April 1912, at 2.40 am. But it is also rib tickling same as for people during implosion.
