TikTok user @savagemomlife recently wondered what Gen Z would say if they were on the Titanic...

I will read the comments #thirstycommentsseries
♬ My Heart Will Go On (Titanic) - Maliheh Saeedi & Faraz Taali

...And let's just say Gen Z immediately put an end to her curiosity. Her video has over two million views and is flooded with hilarious responses, like this person who would —without hesitation — text her mom to come get her:

*starts texting* "mom can u pick me up

And this person who would ask the obvious question first:

have u tried putting the boat in rice?

Gen Z isn't on the boat if they pass up the perfect opportunity for a Billie Eilish reference:

I tried to breath...but my head was under water [wave emoji]

Obviously, there would be footage of the entire sinking:

*starts filming on snapchat* so...[emoji of hand holding phone] we out here...

And it would probably be live-streamed if there was an internet connection:

Does your phone still got a connection, I can't post this video on TikTok

They wouldn't be as worried about death as they would be about the picture that would be used to remember them by:

Bruh i'd be worried about the photo they'd use to remember me

They would crack very ~Gen Z~ jokes:

And only use ~Gen Z~ references:

that iceberg really said SURPRISE SHAWTAYY

There would be so many ~Gen Z~ references...

we gonna die today and that's on periodt

...So, if you don't get any of these, you're probably too old (sorry):

They would still be participating in the latest TikTok trends even if they were about to die:

*someone drowns*....gen z: I'm passing the phone to someone that can't swim [rolling eyes emojis]

Because going viral before dying is kinda their life's wish:

something traumatic happened that changed my life checkk

They would be Googling how to swim:

someone telling their friend to look up how to swim on their phone as they're drowning

But still wouldn't be bothered to do things they don't want to do:

And they would totally play into the MOOD of the whole catastrophe:

*someone dies* OMG mood [side eye emoji]

Obviously, the Titanic sinking was a really awful tragedy and we are not making light of that — the responses are meant to be sarcastic and funny. Thanks for the laughs, Gen Z!
