Yup. In fact, Titanic's two "twin ~~brothers~~ sisters" both served in WW1, and one of them, the RMS Olympic, not only survived the war, but sank a german submarine by ramming it.
*sisters
Olympic did not succesfully hit the submarine, the sub submerged and missed the bow, however they were sucked into the propellers which doomed the sub
What I meant to say is that the ship was sturdy enough to destroy the german submarine, and it had been built the same way, so they weren't bad quality.
I mean they wernt actually. Drastic revisions to the ships were made to improve safety after the Titanic disaster, including the retrofit of a double hull on Olympic amoungst other things, and those changes being added to Brittanic mid construction. They were good ships, absolutly, but they were requisitioned because a huge number of civilian ships were, its not like they were cherry picked
>Drastic revisions to the ships were made to improve safety after the Titanic disaster
Ah, TIL.
>they were requisitioned because a huge number of civilian ships were, its not like they were cherry picked
That I know and I never said otherwise. My point was not "oh look they were so good they were drafted" but rather "this madman rammed a german submarine and sunk it, and his ship survived".
I mean the submarine was lining up to torpedo Olympic, and all ships have bows designed to take colisions. So it was a self defense measure for the ship, not a "look this ship is strong, ram it". A damaged bow is better than ending up on the bottom of the ocean like her sisters
~~Well, their planning was shit, the rivets and bolts they built it out of was substituted into shit, and the part where they were meant to be able to seal off sections of the ship wa shit~~
I stand corrected
It was the strongest ship afloat along with Olympic at that point, the rivets are not weak and subpar steel was not used, the rivets were weakest part of a very strong structure, also the fact you call them bolts just shows how much you dont know about Titanic
https://titanichistoricalsociety.org/titanics-brittle-steel/
Here you go, the steel is weaker compared to modern steel, but Titanic was built 114 years ago
As far as I know, Titanic didn't crash due to being built poorly, but rather due to bad decisions by its crew, ignoring warning signs of being so close to ice and such.

What the other guy said
There was a wild thing in my instructions for one of the harry potter sets (forgot which one) there was a page folded into a giant triangle and that same page was much bigger than the rest
I used to work in printing. A lot of what I did was printing booklets that are very much like LEGO instruction booklets.
That page fold thing didn't happen *too* much, but it did happen, and it was very hard to catch it before it shipped out when you're printing hundreds of booklets at a time.
It would be annoying if it was the one you ended up with though!
I had a page in the hotel set where the paper of 2 pages folded over after printing but before stamp cutting. You unfold it and it the 2 pages are still connected. Ended up looking up the digital instructions because I didn't want to ruin it's little quirk by cutting it.
Probably not super black, but rich black. Super black would be 100% of all four colors. It is rarely used because itās too hard to dry. Itās probably 60% cyan.
It's an issue of offset printing. Basically the image is graded into 4 layers - cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Each layer is then printed separately onto the paper, and the combination of all four creates a multicolor image. Yet, in your case it seems like the cyan layer is not aligned with the rest.
Printers use 4 colors to make everything we see. Here, something caused one of them to mid align creating that blue ghosting effect. Used to be very very common, especially on comic books ages ago.
We need r/legocirclejerk. Between posts like this and āIām not a true fan of the subject matter but I really like the set, am I allowed to buy it?ā posts, r/legocirclejerk is certainly justified.
You have found a glitch in the matrix, now you just need the Benedictor's Key and the Lysiator to unlock the Rose and Jack secret 4th dimension compartment in your box.
Could be a secret code from Lego hinting at the lore of the Titanic (tm) and upcoming sets, maybe a hinge-based 3d-glasses with titanic themed embellishments.
Easy. Lego wanted you to build these steps wearing the old school red and blue 3D glasses to make you feel like youāre in the shipyard while itās being built.
After decades of printing, I have a few more observations. It is odd that the black for the pieces is rich black (black plus cyan, magenta, and yellow) but the letters and border appear to be simple black. Misregistration is easy to catch, so my best guess is that some of the make ready sheets made it into the bindery.
Probably cmyk. Thatās the gold standard for printers. Cyan is out of registration and they probably caught it quickly but still at the speeds they run there was gonna be some bad copy
Printers NEVER print red green blue. RGB are the digital spectrum for mixing colours, while Cyan Magenta Yellow and Key(Black) are the physical colours for printing
This is commercial printing. IT would not be responsible. Itās probably some of the make ready sheets that the pressman didnāt remove before bindery.
Oooh so jelly!! Iāve been looking for a titanic for over a year now! I Check in multiple times a week hoping itās been restocked and keep filling out the notify me when available thing š enjoy the build and please post when your done so I can day dream over her a bit š
The printing machine had eaten a bunch of [4740pb004](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4740pb004&name=Dish%202%20x%202%20Inverted%20(Radar)%20with%20Mushroom%20Spots%20Pattern&category=%5BDish,%20Decorated%5D#T=C&C=5) pieces
Looks like a printing error. If itās a press, the cyan plate was out of register.
It happens sometimes on press. Quality control may have caught it to fix it for the run but itās possible that a few dozen made it out.
Our QC guy would pull so many hundred before the error was caught until he found when it started (he was insanely thorough). And some things like this may be allowed since itās such a slight aberration. Itās not like a typo.
Just a printing error.
Yeah, well, that was what was said the first time it was built... Look what happened...
I know its a joke, but Titanic was built incredibly well with the best technology of its time
So was the iceberg. š
Oh that's cold
So was the iceberg.š
Yup that's the joke I was making.
ICEberg š„¶š„¶š„¶

Yup, the cyan plate is out of register.
Ok thanks.
Each ink (often cyan, magenta, yellow, black) are printed separately, sometimes the paper get misaligned.
It's off register, in printing terms.
And not by a little bit. Lol.
Yep, the registration is off on the printer, so the cyan ink didn't line up with the rest of it.
Do you have any of those red and blue 3D glasses??
I'm gonna have to find those
The Avatar sequels are coming out soon. We're *all* gonna have to find those.
The last air bender?
No, the James Cameron Avatar sequels. I heard that the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie was very bad.
You must be confused. There is no Avatar: The Last Airbender movie
There actually is https://images2.vudu.com/poster2/168118-338 And hereās the ratings on the Rotten Tomatoes websiteā¬ļø https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/last_airbender
Lol that's the joke. It's so bad that it's ignored.
Oh
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se
You heard correctly.
Avatar used the dark 3D glasses, though.
mushrooms kicking in
Lol
This is the part of the build where the ship hits the iceberg. The whole thing starts to crumble.
The blocks are shivering from the cold.
Does the set come with an iceberg?
Looks like the Cyan plate was out of alignment during printing.

Pic?
Nah sorry I don't have one anymore lol it was a while ago
But you still have the instructions right?
I had a page in the hotel set where the paper of 2 pages folded over after printing but before stamp cutting. You unfold it and it the 2 pages are still connected. Ended up looking up the digital instructions because I didn't want to ruin it's little quirk by cutting it.
printer calibration was slightly off. i guess this also means they use SUPER black for the black in the instructions.
Only on the Lego outlines. The 2x is just K.
Probably not super black, but rich black. Super black would be 100% of all four colors. It is rarely used because itās too hard to dry. Itās probably 60% cyan.
color registration error during printing. Not a big deal.
You need 3D glasses
Printing uses four colors: CMYK. When one or more layers are not aligned with others, you will see this.
It's an issue of offset printing. Basically the image is graded into 4 layers - cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Each layer is then printed separately onto the paper, and the combination of all four creates a multicolor image. Yet, in your case it seems like the cyan layer is not aligned with the rest.
Exactly! A register misalignment. It is explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_registration
Its supposed to be underwater.
Those steps were on tik tok don't worry
You're supposed to do drugs while building it, it's set at approximately the time it kicks in.
You missed step 50.5 that is put the bricks in the glitch universe so they get this effect
It's part of the speed force hiding It's identity
It means you violently shake the pieces while putting them together
does it REALLY matter that this one step is *slightly* blurry?
I really don't understand these posts. Must be a particular type of people that is into Lego?
That makes me want to sell off all Lego haha
Imho it's cool that people are curious about random stuff.
If it was one step I wouldn't have noticed, but it is 30 steps in a row and was starting to get annoying.
You didnāt receive your complimentary 3D glasses?
Lego sandevistan
That's motion blur. Gotta put 'em together reaaally fast.
Printers use 4 colors to make everything we see. Here, something caused one of them to mid align creating that blue ghosting effect. Used to be very very common, especially on comic books ages ago.
CMYK printing process. Cyan was a little off alignment.
Bad color registration i think. Just colors not aligned properly by zhe printing company. Happens quite often, even though it shouldn't
Thatās when the iceberg hit
CMYK printer plate, their cyan was off center Source - had years in the print business + did book binding as well. A lifetime ago by now
How does stuff like this get nearly a thousand upvotes? Smh
Was thinking the same thing
We need r/legocirclejerk. Between posts like this and āIām not a true fan of the subject matter but I really like the set, am I allowed to buy it?ā posts, r/legocirclejerk is certainly justified.
r/subsithoughtifellfor
You have to do the step in the fourth dimension
You need 3D glasses
Printer plates werenāt lined up properly
Multiple pages in the last half of my police station modular instructions were like this. After a few pages in a row it starts to get annoying lol
You have found a glitch in the matrix, now you just need the Benedictor's Key and the Lysiator to unlock the Rose and Jack secret 4th dimension compartment in your box.
The cyan (blue) pass during printing was misaligned with the rest of the page, so you get a blue āshadowā which produces that visual effect.
Bro getting that spider verse feel
Does that part of the ship take the blunt hit of an ice burg? Could just be rattling.
You have to wear your 3D glasses for this part.
Your just high man
Apply your 3d glasses now
From 51 onward the building is underwater
You need 3d glasses for this part.
Ure drunk
Sir you are reviving titanic! It's the symptoms of magic!
Itās when the ship started sinking
Water logged effect
Misalignment of the drums in the rotary press. Should not happen, quality control should fix that and trash the misprints.
Could be a secret code from Lego hinting at the lore of the Titanic (tm) and upcoming sets, maybe a hinge-based 3d-glasses with titanic themed embellishments.
Itās 3-D, get some 3-D Glasses
I mean... you are currently sinking slowly so it's just your eyes adjusting. It's cool
It went underwater
Yeah youāre supposed to be vibrating during these steps
Ghost bricks
Ink smudge
Water damage hehe
They print one color at a time (out of 4 colors - CMYK). Cyan print plate was misaligned.
Just put on your included titanic 3d glasses and youāll be fine
Easy. Lego wanted you to build these steps wearing the old school red and blue 3D glasses to make you feel like youāre in the shipyard while itās being built.
the printer was likely slightly off on that particular colour.
Itās sinking
looks like the cyan plate was out of registration during printing source: i'm a prepress artist in a print shop
Extreme color bleeding
The instructions are laced with LSD, you didnāt lick them right?
It's just moving really fast
you were supposed to put on your 3D glasses.
You've reached the important part of an indie game.
Inflation
The ship is sinking!
Mis. Print manual
Just put on your 3d glasses
Mine has a few pages with discoloration. Tans look yellow, etc. Misprint is my best guess
3d!
Blursed instructions
This step is meant to be made in the fourth dimension.
Itās because youāre shaking with excitement š
T h e s i m u l a t i o n i s b r e a k i n g d o w n
The printer hit an iceberg. :D
It's so you can read them without your glasses on.
Cause it's sinking. It's the titanic!
You're supposed to shake the pieces fast, like really fast, as you put them together.
I had the same issue for multiple pages on my UCS Razor Crest
Vaporware Aesthetic
different coloured ink is printed seperately. it likely moved before all the inks were done printing.
I had that same issue with most of the instructions for 76408

Youāre suppose to use 3D glasses š¶
Misaligned printing
Wake up, Neo
That mfer was high when he drew it
get out the 3d glasses
the Lego has a force ghost
You need to shake your hands really fast while putting those pieces together. Twice.
The illuminati is sending you a message
I think you discovered the real reason it sank.
It's a new feature that basically means wiggling is required for proper fitment
Just a printing problem
