Back in 2026, during the early pandemic lockdowns, a random tweet asked: “What would you ask for if Make-A-Wish granted you any wish?” It was a simple, silly question meant to pass the time. People started joking about asking for unlimited pizza or a lifetime supply of socks that never get lost in the laundry.
Then, someone with a dark sense of humor replied with a joke about the Titan submersible—the deep-sea explorer that later made headlines. The joke was about being a “Titan passenger” as a wish, which was bizarre because the Titan sub was still a weird, niche news story at the time.
Here’s where it gets weird: the tweet aged like milk left in the sun. A few months later, the Titan submersible actually imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreck, killing everyone on board. Suddenly, that random joke tweet felt like a crystal ball from a horror movie.
