Titanic annual dbuttholeeaths?

[–] remon@ani.social 29 points 11 months ago

Seriously ...

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

If we are being fair then the 2023 deaths were quite butthole-ish.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 109 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you cannot post the word death, then that platform should be nuked from orbit. Pathetic.

It's the only way to be sure

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with what a dath is.

Here, restored that meme for ya (it's at least 1 year old, originally from r*ddit it seems)

"What happened in 2023?"

I suddenly recall

"Oh! Lol! Lmao! XD!"

XKCD, if he were a little more macabre.

I'd say this runs pretty close.

aside from the self censorship, that graph doesn't make sense at all

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A rich guy's submarine imploded while exploring Titantic in 2023. All 5 occupants died. Obviously.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Look at the time scale. The deaths of the 1912 sinking are taking about thrice the time to die and microsecond implosion took all year of 2023, if the time scale is too be believed.

It's just how graphs work

Yea and I'm whining a bit over it's execution. I mean I got the joke, but instead of attacking the authors' censorship of the word 'death' I chose something else to nitpick about.

It's funny to me how controversial pointing out that a graph sucks seems to be.

I honestly kind of enjoy nerdish pedantic nit-picking over the most inconsequential things, really. It's better than a lot of other hobbies. I'm still gonna poke fun sometimes, probably. Kudos for the word 'thrice' as well. Whenever I read that word I imagine extra emphasis and an index finger thrust skywards.

I believe it's referring to the five people who died in 2023 in that submersible that was named "titanic."

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 11 months ago

Deaths! I guessed the Pokémon!
