      Imagine being a billionaire with the ability to build your own submarine and for your ballast system you choose a bunch of fucking metal pipes

        These fuckers are so fucking cheap down to the very core of their being. I only wish it would minecraft themselves more often.

      To think they actually got a swift death rather than suffocating inside a pitch black tube. Both are a hell of a way to go, I honestly feel bad for the kid that was dragged along on this doomed shit by his shithead bougie dad.

      Can't believe a bunch of rich people saw this and thought ”Yep, I wanna go see the Titanic through a small cheap LCD monitor in a sub steered with the 'little brother special' controller”

    It still cracks me up that that fucker went with a Luigi ass player 2 controller and no one even considered where else he might have skipped on monetarily.

        If you're going to spend millions of dollars on some stupid shit like this i can't understand the mentality behind not just spending a little bit more so that you can fucking stand up in it

        My first guess is that it's a pressure cooker, though unlike the Titan, it pressurizes its contents deliberately.

        Instant pots seem to have a good reputation, though I've seen a former roommate go through a couple of them - they are computerized and can be bricked if the building has unsteady current, as in our case of bad/old wiring. So, perhaps it could also be a play on 'innovation' making things less reliable.

    They knew it was a death trap. They were told.
