    I mean if ice COULD break steel, how could we store it in our ice machines? The machine would break!

    Do your own research, don’t believe big ice.

    There’s actually a decent conspiracy about the Titanic actually being it’s sister ship and was sunk for the insurance.

      All “witnesses” to the sinking are either dead or demented due to old age. HOW CONVENIENT!!!1one

      Seriously though, I’ve met people believing that particular conspiracy. It’s easily debunked because there are visible differences between, amongst other things, the bridge wing of the two ships. Olympic can easily be verified sailing in tip top condition much later than the sinking of the Titanic.

        Yep, I was in a conversation with a group of people some of who believe this conspiracy and the others all gobbled it up without question. After which I found a lengthy video from Oceanliner Designs that solidly debunks it complete with evidence and expert testimony.

    Quick somebody build a sub. It can’t be that hard right? I’ve got some old video game controllers, and some 14-in screens…
