      Ha! The whole titanic event was constructed to ensure a hit movie… Love it! Now how do we fold in some flat earth stuff?

        What do you think the iceberg was for? Stopping the Titanic from finding the edge of the world.

      We need to workshop it a bit, need to have something about the na’vi being real somehow.

    The submarine is staying down there because the pilot knows the Canadian wildfires are going to set the atmosphere on fire. They need to outlast the fire and repopulate the earth with the DNA they found on silverware from Titanic survivors.

    That they weren’t going down to see the Titanic at all. They were really out searching for Atlantis and got caught in a battle with Namor, who obviously crushed their submarine like a soda can.

    The Earth is flat and the real reason Titanic sunk was because it fell off the edge. The submarine went too close to the edge and the waterfall flowing off the side caused the submarine to drift over the edge of the world and fall off.

    There is no limit to how dumb these conspiracy theories can get. It would not surprise me if Fox News said that the democrats sabotaged the submersible to prevent them from bringing back Hillary’s emails that had been hidden on the wreck of the Titanic.

    Some government knows where the sub is, but they can’t tell anyone to not show their actual surveillance capabilites.

      That doesn’t sound that far fetched at all. I bet US has sacrificed thousands of Ukrainian soldier’s lives just not to disclose their valuable secret reconnaissance capabilities. What difference would four more people in a submarine do to change their mind?

    The people on the submarine are actually alive and are living inside a underwater bunker!

    I think it’s staged. You get a bunch of experts on the TV who talk about how there’s a “1% chance” of survival. Then tomorrow, against all odds, they’re saved! It’s a miracle! Then the 4 billionaires get to be in a movie. Or maybe it takes a dark turn and I’m full of shit. Guess we’ll see. Maybe they are faking their deaths.

    I browsed 4chan /x/ earlier today, so here’s where they are…

    The obvious one relates to the fact that founding members of the Federal Reserve were on the Titanic, and it was intentionally sunk to (something incoherent about economics). The submarine was sunk for similar reasons.

    The Titanic didn’t sink, but it was some other vessel, and They had to sink the submarine so the truth wouldn’t get out.

    There are deep ocean aliens, and the sub had to sink to conceal that fact.

    Those are the ones I could remember. In any case, it’s always the Jews and the CIA.

      The Titanic being swapped out for a different ship is a persistent one that’s been around for a while

        Do you know what the deal is with that? I couldn’t figure it out, and one of the problems with /x/ is that they assume you already know what’s going on with their conspiracies.

          So the swap conspiracy is yhat the Titanic had a twin sister ship, i think it was like yhe olimpia or something like that. The conspiracy, iirc, is that the sister ship wasnt made completely vto the same “unsinkable” standards as the Titanic. But, the titanic wasnt going to be completed in time so they changed the names and no one would he the wise. I think another part of yhis is yhat yhe twin ship was around for quite a while and i believe rammed a german uboat in ww1 and so people think that was really the unsinkable one. I could be wrong a bout a number of these points though. It’s been a minute since I’m read about that conspiracy theory and im to lazy to fact checky self.

            That makes at least a little bit more sense… Not to imply it makes sense, it just makes a little bit more sense.

            I remembered after posting, the children of 4chan were implying the fake sinking thing was some sort of insurance fraud. But that only works if you also take the ship out of service, since otherwise the insurance company will be left wondering, well where did this other ship come from?

            But this is one thing at the heart of conspiracy theories: they don’t actually think about how the world works. It’s like, one of the big conspiracies on 4chan at the moment is ESG—environment, social, and corporate governance scores in investing. They think that this is a social engineering effort, as though Blackrock cares about anything other than money.

            If you’re curious what ESG is really about, it’s a con to make stock-buying more palatable for millennials. But since the children of 4chan don’t know anything about anything, it’s gotta be Jewish social engineering.

    Stepson sabotages submersible because he wasn’t allowed to go to Blink182 concert; punk rock is therefore root of all societal evil.
