This is a very graphic meme!
And this is a very literal reply!
Weird fact: Unknown Worlds Entertainment licensed the Cyclops name for the submarine in Subnautica from OceanGate.
Explanation?
The first spike is the Titanic sinking, and the second little blip is ocean gate.
Ocean gate? Never heard it referred like that. Funny how gate is just a word for scandal by now. It all started with the Watergate gate.
Ironically the company is just called ocean gate. It’s purely a coincidence.
OceanGategate
The company was literally named OceanGate Inc. So yeah, it very neatly fell into the “call every scandal [thing]-gate” media habit. The actual sub was named Titan.
The company was literally called that XD
OceanGate Imc.
Imc? Imploding Maritime Cruises?
No thats me misspelling Inc.
But now I will lie and say it is your option
The craft was called Titan.
Theorizing about and then venting about Ocean Gate is one of my formative Fediverse memories. God what an ass Stockton Rush was.
Typical rich CEO cuntery.
Rush: Imma build this submarine
Literally every submarine engineer in the world: no don’t it will fail catastrophically
In his defense, at least he was the one piloting it.
Even if he was an arrogant dumbass
He bought his own bullshit.
