One Redditor/aggressively confident “strong swimmer” decided to cap off their week by giving a massive f—k you to Jack Dawson, Rose DeWitt Bukater, and nearly 1,500 real-life victims who died over a century ago, arguing that “it wouldn’t be that difficult” to survive the Titanic sinking.


“I would simply stay on the ship for as long as possible in a safe location and tread water for as long as possible until a lifeboat shows up,” u/geuauas wrote in a post shared to the contrarian subreddit, r/The10thDentist.


Despite the fact that it took the Carpathia roughly 3.5 hours to race through the icy, 28-degree waters of the Atlantic to reach the site of the doomed ship, u/geuauas was clearly unphased, convinced that he could still tough it out.



“I am an athletic and able-bodied male with an intense drive to survive,” he continued, citing baker Charles Joughin, who survived the disaster by calmly treading water for several hours.  “If he can do it, I most certainly could have as well,” he concluded.


Despite this apparently unshakable confidence, several fellow Redditors called cap.


“You wouldn't have survived for 10 minutes in the freezing waters,” wrote u/Kaoshosh.


“Average ‘I'm built different’ redditor moment lmao,” added u/Toasty_Rolls.


But even with these haters, we can only hope that u/geuauas will someday be able to put his theory to the test — after all, OceanGate is due for a liquidation sale!
