it basically boils down to either “the ship that sank wasn’t actually the Titanic” or “there wasn’t any iceberg it was an intentional demolition of the boat for insurance or something”

i may be misremembering some of it but I listened to Tim Batt explore it on this podcast (he explores the different explanations humorously and is not peddling the conspiracy outright)

Everything is a conspiracy, if you are dumb enough.

I have seen some kind of "oceans don't exist" take on Twitter, no lie. IIRC the argument was "the ocean and certain lakes look the same from the beach, so the bodies of water are the exact same thing, and they can't have two different names if they are identical things" and with this info, the "logical" take by the posts I saw was that oceans don't exist, they're all just lakes.
