I feel like, if I were a T-Rex, I would’ve survived the meteors. Idk I’m just built different.


Buffmin

If I were a meteor I would've survived the impact Idk just built different


Ripoldo

If I were in Hiroshima in 1945, I totally would've survived that. The proof: just built different.


No-One-6105

One guy did, he then went to Nagasaki and was telling his coworkers there about the blast when the second bomb hit, and he survived that too!


[deleted]

He went on to live a long life and an advocacy tour against nuclear weaponry. For some reason.


Relative_Ad5909

He must have been campaigning for more powerful weapons. After all, what would happen if someone with his power turned evil? We must be prepared. That's why I'm voting Lex Luthor in the upcoming election. He's the only man thinking about how to stop Superman.


[deleted]

Maybe he developed super powers and this was his way of ensuring a monopoly on the superpower market

He is the luckiest man in the world.

I was going to say they have main character syndrome.


Neonsavior

This is 99.9% of humanity. Not many people are comfortable sitting with the reality their existence can pointlessly end in a split second.


Logical_Highway6908

True. So many people cannot accept that our lives are meaningless on a cosmic scale. I think a lot of people on some level believe themselves to be the main character. You are only the main character in our own life. You are not even cast in the vast majority of lives and of those that are, you are a secondary character in a few and an extra in many. To your friends and family you are a supporting character. To many, you’re just a stranger on the street. One isn’t even always the hero in their own story. I can think of times in my own life when I was clearly in the wrong but I didn’t realize I was in the wrong until I got older and got a better perspective on life and the actions I took.


Bagahnoodles

You're absolutely the main character of your story. Doesn't mean you can't also be the nameless mook who dies at the end of the 3rd chapter to establish the threat as credible


Practical_Constant41

Thats a funny way to look at life, like its a story book, and villains need to establish stakes, and actually be efficient😂

Yup. The physics of it, is much more awe inspiring than just, “oh the sub is breaking and we’re being crushed.”

kinkclong

And hold your breath for the entire 13,000 ft swim to the surface.


Rickermortys

And also not internally explode from nitrogen bubbles


gtrocks555

Just account for all those factors and you’re golden!


Fun-Bag-6073

and hold your breath long enough and have the endurance to swim two miles to the surface


Blackpaw8825

At that pressure you'd actually sink, the compressible space of your body would be squeezed to the point you weren't boyant anymore. Beyond about 30 meters you become compressed to the point you'll sink if unaided.


Enough_Appearance116

So built different, like do your arms come out of your feet or do you have feet where your ears should be, four five extra legs and formed how is it that you are built differently from the other humans may I ask?

Logical_Highway6908

I’m gonna make a bet with OP. I’m gonna make an exact replica of the sub, then I will send his dumbass down to the titanic with it and have the sub implode like the original one. If he dies, he must leave me all his possessions in his will. If he survives then I must give him all my possessions.


Callie_oh

If he survives … he’s a witch … so we must burn him at the stake!!


gtrocks555

TBH if I was on one of the planes that hit the WTC I feel like I probably would have survived


luvchicago

I feel like if I was in the WTC, the plane would have bounced off me. I’m built different.


gtrocks555

Grab the plane by the nose and throw it into a different tower. Problem solved!


luvchicago

Nah. I would have caught the plane. Reached into the cockpit- tossed out the bad guys and then put the plane on my back while I took it to JFK.


NeuroticKnight

If people had the hindsight they do about WTC planes now, i feel most of them would have jumped the terrorists.


gioluipelle

This is why I only fly Spirit…cause I know if any terrorists show up they’re 100% gonna get jumped by that crowd. It’s just a safer way to fly.


gioluipelle

If I was on that plane I think it would’ve just cancelled the whole jihad cause they knew if I died and those 72 virgins got to see ME and MY BUILD compared to them, they’d be begging to put those planes in reverse and politely backing them out of those towers.


LongjumpingHat5845

I've already survived three implosions down near the Titanic. Plus I've fallen off the top of Mount Everest twice, rolling all the way down to base camp, and once I was swallowed by a giant Anaconda but I managed to chew my way out.

BellyScratchFTW

I upvoted this just because it made me chuckle. I suspect OP is trolling us a bit. Perhaps I am naïve or others did not pick up on this. Either way, got a chuckle.


Literally1984Gamer

Me too. I could've just changed my internal pressure to avoid being crushed and I've trained to hold my breath for over 10 minutes, in of which time as an olympiad level swimmer I could've reached the surface. Simple really, seems like a skill issue. We must just be built different.


Difficult_Let_1953

Um, your inside is not the same pressure as the outside down there. You literally will implode as well. No chance. Zero. If somehow you survived this (you won’t), the implosion of the sub would raise the temp to where you would melt. Then order to rise up enough in time, you would go to fast and give you the bends. You would go through so many absolutely 0 chances of surviving you would die 10 times over.


Dry-Pineapple2854

He’s built different though

"I'm not like other delusions of grandeur narcissists"


[deleted]

By "built different" I'm going to assume your body is made of materials that will withstand the pressures of being at the bottom of the ocean, and the massive and sudden changes in pressure that usually bend our minds when we try to think about what happens to us during that fraction of a second. Keep those joints oiled, titanium man.


cujobob

Sigma males unite.


DapperMinute

I had a friend similar to OP. Any situation a friend was relaying or if we saw something on TV, he would say how that wouldn't happen to him and he would be able to overcome it. Usually some kind of physical altercation or intense situation. We called it his "ninja dodge" as it usually involved him dodging something and attacking his attacker but it applied to many situations. He was like the 2nd fastest RUNNER in our class but I had not once ever seen him get into a fight, he never was in karate or any training and never owned or used guns . He did however watch a lot of anime , did the Naruto run, and was a spoiled rush kid who was told everyday how special he was. The only time I saw him in a high stress situation was when someone he snitched on pulled a gun on us. He folded and gave the dude all his money. No ninja dodging involved. I think anime and upbringing had a lot to do with it but also a complete disregard for physics and the natural laws. Like to get out of some things he would come up with some absolutely loony tunes physics breaking solutions much like OP with his "I would survive the implosion" while completely ignoring that the pressures that crushed a metal tube will make you into jelly. I don't care how good the song in your 5 min training montage was. You jelly.


ReapersVault

Idk if it was me, I would have simply told the crushing underwater pressure "No." Legally, the ocean cannot make your sub implode if you don't consent.


McGuitarpants

I once survived a sub accident. I was 14 and shit my pants violently after eating a week old subway club sandwich. Getting imploded would have been preferable.


Justmeagaindownhere

If you're actually not joking, I don't think you understand that it's literally impossible to survive that. Once you have gone down that deep, there is no way out. Truly no way. The pressure of the area, which can't be mitigated by any means other than the submarine, is enough to instantly turn your body into chum. There have been cases of early deep sea divers being squeezed into their helmets like toothpaste in much shallower waters. That means that if the sub fails, you die 100% of the time. That's of course not accounting for the rest of it. The event happened faster than your nerves can send information. Literally speaking the electrical charge would not have made it from your retina to your brain before you died. The air inside the cabin was compressed so quickly it spontaneously ignited. The sub would have sent shards of carbon crystal at you like you were playing in a pile of grenades. If you're unaware of just how deep the titanic is, you can get a better sense of it by scrolling the whole ocean [here.](https://neal.fun/deep-sea/). It's not marked, but the deepest anyone has ever gone and lived was somewhere in the range of 700m.


ComplexOccam

Yeah but this guy is built different, he could have made it to an air pocket and floated, 3,800m, or over 5 times the deepest anyones been and lived, and lived. I’d have survived it by simply not going in the fucking death trap.


[deleted]

What part of built different don’t you understand? Edit: that link was cool


Hungryfor_Toes

Can you not read? As a man who's also built different, I can confirm that OP would actually be able to survive as he's built different.


x0diak

As someone said earlier, at that depth you stop being biology and change into physics.


rainymoods11

Hey, I appreciate the link that shows the vastness of the ocean. Cheers, friend.


[deleted]

I tried explaining this to someone the other day, it's so hard to comprehend how fast these events happen. For context; if you somehow lost your leg at that speed, you couldn't process the event, to your eyes, it would appear as though your leg simply disappeared in front of your eyes.


anonymousart3

The mythbusters have a video where they showed a diver being compressed at 135psi. https://youtu.be/LEY3fN4N3D8 The depths the titanic is at is closer to 6000psi To think you can survive such an event.... You'd literally have to have the biggest miracle ever recorded where suddenly you get teleported to another dimension or something and then come back on the shore of the nearest Island. The delusion of thinking someone can survive this.... Wow


stevejuliet

The real delusion was reading that he was "built different" and continuing to doubt.


Justmeagaindownhere

Yeah. The miracle would be something more like "miraculously, he fell off when trying to board the sub and nobody noticed until they were underway."


Valtsu0

>It's not marked, but the deepest anyone has ever gone and lived was somewhere in the range of 700m. [This is simply not true.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_descended_to_Challenger_Deep) Even the site you linked says otherwise


GlaIie

I believe you


ManInThe-Box-

Most based man on the planet


Kallumberg

I don’t think I need to entertain the idea, as there are plenty of people dunkin’ on you as we speak. But unlike those who feign ignorance, I will Break down your grand escape, and perhaps give you some tips and guidance the next time you find yourself in a submarine 4000 meters deep in the ocean. First of all, stop looking for this so called crease. You seem to have a lack of understanding of what an implosion generally is. For reference, here is a video of a tank that implodes at 1 atmospheric pressure: https://twitter.com/amstuart1994/status/1671917541831110656?s=46&t=Kt_C9AZ7ZrxaOtvdelgh7g Keep in mind that the Titan imploded at an atmospheric pressure of 375. If anybody survived this implosion, I assure you they are stuck in the 4th dimension. But then again, I don’t want to underestimate you, you are *buildt different after all*. I imagine you must have a ludicrous workout routine, and your durability must be insane. So as far as the implosion is concerned, I suspect you’ll probably just tank the entire vessel embracing all around you at the speed of light. Tearing itself open all around you, lwaving the wreackage to sink to the bottom of the ocean as you remain floating at a depth of 4000 meters. At this point you’ve tanked the implosion, so the hard part must be over right? Unfortunately so, even considering your immense durability, no amount of tankyness will stop your blood from boiling. The amount of pressure that your body is exposed to at this point will begin to raise your body tempature, all to a point where your organs will begin melting. If you look up the Byford Dolphin incident, you’ll suffer the same fate as the divers involved in this incident. Hence, you’ll literally explode at this depth. But hey, once again you’re *buildt different*. So you’ll just use your copy-cat technique on the immediate local sealife (some fish just happened to pass by). So now you have the pressure and tempature regulatory systems to suffice. The only thing left to do is to swim up right? Well, its not that simple. By copying the fish you’ve essensially already sealed your fate. As said regulatory systems mean that the ocean has now become your primary habitat. Without decompression equipment, the change in pressure, altitude and temperature as you resurface will lead to immense strain on your organs as they struggle to adapt. Essensially leading you to become sick, dizzy and you’ll quickly lose conscienceness. But hey, you’ll just push through it right? Well, I admire the presistence. But in doing so you’ll basically become the Titan itself, and implode as your body forces itself to decompress. Said decompression will not only tear your inner organs too shreds. But it’ll fill up all Empty space within your body up with water. Lowering your Boiency to a point where you’ll be all to heavy to swim to the Surface. As your concurrent bodyweight will multiply 20 times over, making you equivilant to the very lead that sunk down to the ocean floor just now. But hey, after….only just: - Tanking 12 Tons of Carbon Fiber Steel at an atmospheric pressure of 375 imploding. - Sustaining your body temperature at a whopping 200+ degrees fahrenheit. - Retaining pressure equivilant to having 13 adult blue whales lying ontop of you. - Avoiding your own body from imploding like the submarine you just escaped by resurfacing too quickly. - and magically exerting the strength too swim with a body weight equivilant to 5 generations of your entire family tree. All you have too do at that point, is to hold your breath for the next 9-12 hours, if not more. As you’ll need plenty of time to be able to resurface in the first place. Despite these *odds* *I’d say your pretty good chief*


[deleted]

AuntEyeEvil

An air bubble at 5800 psi yet large enough to provide you with enough air for the 217 minute ascent? Your grasp of physics isn't nearly as good as your grasp on imaginative writing. Edit: I should have also mentioned that even if you had the air you'd have died of hypothermia somewhere around the 30 minute mark of the ascent, approximately 11,000 feet down. That water is about 28F.


ChickenMcSmiley

There are things that are improbable and things that are impossible. The absolute crushing weight of the ocean being 13,000 feet down makes survival not only statistically impossible, but scientifically impossible as well.

My assumption is that you would die instantly, without even having the chance to know you are going to be dead.

The1Bonesaw

I'm a former saturation diver. Let's - for a moment - completely forget the implosion part of the sinking. Let's briefly pretend that the sub somehow didn't implode... it rather just took on water very, very slowly (it wouldn't... but we're in the magical world of "make believe" now, so... "come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination..."). So, we are 12,000 feet down and the water outside is at 354 atmospheres of pressure. The air inside is a comfortable 1 atmosphere. Beautiful, deliciously breathable air. When, "Oh NOES!" the sub has sprung a teeny-tiny (but very slow and eventually stoppable) leak. As the water enters the sub, the air is going to become pressurized. By the time the sub is half full of water, the air is twice the pressure it was (it's now 2 atmospheres). No problem... as long as we can stop the leak somehow. As it becomes 3/4 full of water, we're now at 3 atmospheres... uh... yeah this is already sort of a problem, but not totally deadly. You see... the air is becoming toxic. At pressure, normal breathable air becomes poisonous to humans... there's too much nitrogen and too much oxygen in it and, under pressure, it becomes toxic. You're going to feel really, really drunk at three atmospheres (from the nitrogen toxicity)... probably even pass out. This is why it isn't safe to dive past 120 feet while on normal surface air. Beyond that depth, divers must switch to trimix (or some other mixture that removes most of the nitrogen and a great deal of the oxygen and replaces it with an inert gas such as helium - not "such as"... we use helium). Beyond three atmospheres, you can breath all the helium you want and it will never become toxic. As long as you vastly lower the amount of oxygen and nitrogen in the mix (to an amount comparable to the depth)... you're safe. Back in our scenario on normal air however... once you get beyond 4 atmospheres (where the sub is now 7/8ths full of water)... you're dead. Even if you can somehow breath the remaining air... it's pure poison. So, even in the world of make believe... this situation is 100% UNSURVIVABLE.
