I mean, if he uses a different model of sub he and his passengers would probably be alright.
Depends on the sub.
But like, anybody else perfectly okay if he doesn’t come back up?
I’ll be immeasurably disappointed if he doesn’t at least come back with emotional trauma
Maybe we can get a Humboldt Squid to harass them?
I’ll donate my fish to this worthy cause
Is it that giant parrot fish that literally chews rocks and coral? Can imagine one of those dumbasses swimming beside you chomping down.
And your thought Aunt Edna chewed loudly…
Possibly a drum dish doing its mating call thing?
This billionaire, rather than trying to wing-it and design his own submarine, is enlisting the services of a company that has already designed, built, and used a number of record setting deep-sea manned submarines.
This guy seems to be taking safety slightly more seriously with his sub plans than the last guy. Which is unfortunate for people looking forward to more billionaires transforming themselves into paste.
I definitely think he should. Maybe he can recruit a few more billionaires to prove that it was just a freak accident.
I would like to recommend my e-book, “How to build a totally safe paper-mache deepsea submersible” available on Amazon for free.
Why for free? Tout yourself as the guru of paper submarines and sell that 130 page book for $99 on your personal site. Make some money off them first.
Paper mache! Ooh wee sign me up. /s
A classic.
These are proper subs they would use, not like the hacked together Titan sub. Also, wishing death on people? Really?
Billionaires are partially responsible for every workplace death that occurs due to inadequate safety. It’s less wishing death and more vengeful thoughts.
I can despise a class of people without wishing death on them, that’s just pathetic honestly.
Why?
If they all up and died, and their heirs too, all that absurd wealth would fall back to society where it belongs and would over night end modern day capitalism. All for the low cost of a few hundred morally bankrupt people all over the world, who by all objective measures exhibit parasitic behavior towards everyone else. More people die in car crashes each year.
The needs of the many…
Because that’s just inhuman, regardless of capitalistic failures.
So are the actions that got them all them billions in the first place.
Eye for an eye I say
No, what is inhuman is hoarding so much wealth the rest of us atrophy and fucking die. What is inhuman is destroying the only environment in the universe that we can survive unassisted in for the sake of profit. This is real life, the influential actions and the absolute command these people wield sends thousands to their deaths every day. They play Ashen Lord every day, keeping that Age of Fire going. Well its time to return to your thrones, the age of dark is coming.
They don’t have to exclusive of each other.
They are plotting the death of somewhere between millions and billions of people, via the climate change that they could mitigate at any time.
We’re not wishing death on them, just looking forward to reading their obituary with great pleasure.
Ah, feel that dopamine hit as you self-righteously chastise someone on the internet in your performative pearl-clutching routine.
You’re welcome.
Ironic
So, where did I wish death on them in my statement? I expressed the idea that he and other billionaires should show the world how it’s done properly, and my willingness to assist them in this endeavour (for free even!), such assistance they may or may not want to accept.
I think you have a deep, ugly core that sees things that aren’t there, based on your own feelings towards these people, and projects those dark thoughts into the things you read, causing you to lash out at innocent strangers on the internet.
You should really do some self-examination at the evil inside you, perhaps some therapy would help. I hope the best for you, good luck!

Okay, the article is way more level header then the headline.
Right? I know we don’t like reading the articles around here, but this is about a $20 million submersible being commissioned from a company that has successfully gone down to Challenger Deep before.
It’s still billionaire wankery, but it’s much more reasonable in its budget.
An innocent kid was on board the Titan, in case everyone has forgotten. He didn’t want to go. Limit your laughter a bit.
Ok, I’ll pause for a second, then continue laughing.
Apparently he was a huge douche canoe too.
Oh, well, that’s alright then.
No one is laughing. When he finishes carving the new sub it will be a thing of beauty.
Fine, just hold tight to this here anchor and jump. You’ll be on site in no time.
We won’t need guillotines if we can just make it trendy for billionaires to do dumb shit like this. 👍

Fuck helping humanity. They should have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. This guy wants to be mentioned in the paper.
Good. Can we get more billionaire onto this trend of offing themselves?
The Titanic is hungry. It must be fed. The spice must flow
The strangest thing about this is a billionaire thinks Ohio is a good place to live.
I’ve heard it on good authority that Cleveland Rocks.
I don’t think the host of The Price is Right would lie to me about such things.
For a billionaire, anywhere can be a good place to live. You have money to force the shit around you to be what you want.
Even a trillionaire couldn’t force Ohio to be worth living in.
Damn, not Wexner
There was a meme of a graph of Titanic deaths over time with a huge spike on it’s maiden voyage then a little bump a few years ago.
Yes that one, it might need an update sooner than we think. :D
