Best way for them to go really, I did not like the thought of them alone at the bottom of the ocean in the dark trapped and waiting for days to die.

Implosion is the death least torturous, I guess.

Ah the old gross/painful dichotomy. The grosser your death is to everyone else, the less painful for you

Horrible but the kindest of the potential horrors.

[–] malcriada_lala 2 points 1 year ago

Very true. A quick and painless way to go.

....idk, let's send a few more billionaires into the ocean in sketchy submarines.

We can cross reference the debris fields from those to one they just found. Otherwise, who knows, it could have just been a normal septic tank.

At least they didn't suffer, or waited for countless hours before the inevitable.

Decompression at this depth takes about 30milliseconds. They never realized what was happening before they died.

Sounds like it was quick, likely no time to even register a problem for any of them. Best option of no good ones.

Ok so this sucks and all, but I'm also thinking... Isn't it quite a badass way to go? I mean if you have to that is.

I mean, most of us will die of ass cancer or from slipping in a shower or some lame and painful shit like that. But going down to see the friggin Titanic and then just pop, and the last thing you see are some underwater wonders. So... Not so bad I guess.
