genuine answer: they could have survived the initial sinking, but would have died pretty quickly from pressure sickness or starvation. lobsters are offshore animals that need rocky habitats in which to hide and find food. they usually aren’t found in much more than 1,500 feet of water normally.

the Titanic is 12,500 feet down, and resting on the silty intercontinental ocean floor that is essentially a massive underwater mudflat with only an occasional rock to be seen.

image

maybe the lobsters survived the pressure change and wiggled out of their tank and found their way out of the wreckage, but this habitat is a desert to them. there was nothing for them there.

realistically though they were probably immediately picked off by the sleeper and sixgill sharks that would have come from HUNDREDS of miles around to scavenge the Titanic’s human cargo. sorry!

damn, what a great day to be a deep sea shark though. the Titanic was like the most unimaginably huge whalefall for them. they probably still tell stories about it to the younger sharks today.

dogs might look like their owners but cat people always have a cat with the same mental illness as them

My last cat was owned by my friend’s Trekkie uncle who passed very suddenly in a car crash. The family just couldn’t take him and asked me to possibly foster him until they could. I almost immediately adopted him.

I would set my computer to play a video for him when I left for work. He got mad if it wasn’t star trek. He learned to hit the spacebar to pause and start it.

I am and have always been a Trekkie. One time I was having a shit day bc I was in the middle of MCAS starting to kick my butt and I was just crying on my couch. He hopped onto the table and started star trek for me

Then he just stared at me like “did that work?”

And this was his staring face so yes of course it did

image

But I’m forever amused that I shared needing the same comfort show, with a cat

Omg this is amazing

Like learning to pause???

And knowing it comforted you as well???

It took him some trial and error, but he figured out pawing the keyboard in the area of the spacebar made it stop and start. And also at my mouse, which he had stolen bc I was paying too much attention to the video, in that picture

He was a very smart and like. Attenuated cat.
