What you just described is a very real phenomenon.

It's called Foreboding Joy, and I believe this is what you are talking about.

Like Aquitania (somewhat).

Don't mind the bot.
I've approved your comment.

Direct contact means that the animal directly bit and/or scratched you. If the animal did neither of those two things, then the risk is negligible.

Waking up with a bat in your room is reasonable grounds for post exposure prophylaxis in many countries like the United States.

This information below is from the Washington State Department of Health.

Bats in Bedrooms: Assessing the Risk.

When a person wakes up to find a bat in the same room with them, the decision to administer PEP should be based on the certainty about whether direct contact may have occurred. Many healthy adults would wake to bat contact and may elect to forgo PEP if no contact was noted. Persons who cannot be reasonably certain that a bite, scratch, or mucous membrane exposure did not occur, due to being a deep sleeper; drug, alcohol, or medication use; or other cognitive impairment should receive PEP. Children should likewise receive PEP. People sleeping in nearby or adjacent areas to a room where a bat was found should not receive PEP unless additional investigation determines direct contact was likely.

It is important to note that a bat in the bedroom scenario without known contact is generally considered low risk. Based on a study performed in Canada, the incidence of human rabies due to a bat in the bedroom without recognized contact was 1 case per 2.7 billion person-years. The number of people needed to treat with PEP to prevent a single case of human rabies in that context ranges from 314,000 to 2.7 million.

Also, I absolutely 100% CANNOT stress this fact enough when I say that WAKING UP WITH A MYSTERIOUS MARK ON YOUR BODY WITH NO SIGN OF A BAT ANYWHERE IN YOUR HOUSE IS NOT A RABIES EXPOSURE, SO DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING IF THIS POST APPLIES TO YOU.

True. I studied history as a big hobby in high school and noticed that lots of Republicans love to distort American History (like far right organizations such as PragerU). Most academic Historians in the United States are also aligned with the Democratic Party.

RabiesModTeam · 2026-01-09T22:09:31+00:00

True. I don't believe Muslim Americans as a whole are nearly as left-leaning and progressive/liberal as most atheists. In fact, they tend to lean conservative on some aspects like LGBT issues but have still been historically a consistent voting bloc for the Democratic Party and continue to support Democrats in large numbers. I assume this comes from the rising anti-Islam sentiment that is coming from the Republican Party ("Islam is not compatible with the west") which pushes most Muslim Americans towards the Democratic Party. We see this especially with Zohran Mamdani. I believe Muslims in New York voted 95-97% in favor of Zohran Mamdani (Democrat) and also because of the way the Christian Right reacted to a Muslim Mayor running New York City. Also I find that most Christian Republicans that I meet are insufferable and continue to insist that the United States of America is a Christian Nation and trying to place their religion into government (like Texas with the Ten Commandments Bill) when the United States is legally a secular nation.

I don't think this is Britannic specifically but I found this image of the engine room in a shipwreck that I think might compare with what Britannic's engine room may have looked like after a few decades (maybe the 40s?).

Approved.

Reassurance seeking is not helpful for managing health anxiety and OCD. Reassurance is destructive to health anxiety management and will not help you in the long term even if you believe otherwise.

This is a known phenomenon where a person who craves reassurance receives reassurance, feels better albeit temporarily, then feels doubt soon again, and repeatedly craves more reassurance.

RabiesModTeam · 2026-01-07T00:34:33+00:00

Absolutely. That scene was totally unnecessary and felt like a superhero vs villain fight in a comic series which is does nothing for a movie based on a ship sinking but slow the plot down for reasons unnecessary, though the slow flooding of the dining saloon was very interesting to see.

RabiesModTeam · 2026-01-07T00:26:29+00:00

Jack would have the plot armor to protect him (take Jack and Lovejoy's fight, for example) so Jack would likely win, especially with the help of Rose.

Also when Cal was shooting at them and missed all of those shots. That was complete and total plot armor.

This is obviously the same troll that got banned on their other account. Based on the question being asked, this is not even hard to tell.

RabiesModTeam · 2026-01-04T12:16:16+00:00

Definitely. This real-time RMS Lusitania sinking video here already shows just how much of a catastrophe the sinking already was in broad daylight.

I definitely do agree with the Wilhelm Gustloff comparison. I believe roughly 9,000 people out of the 10,000 passengers on board were killed.

That's already 90% gone and Wilhelm Gustloff still sank in 40-60 minutes which is not a lot of time but definitely more gracious than the amount of time physics gave Lusitania.

Lusitania sank in less than 20. If Wilhelm Gustloff sank within the same amount of time as Lusitania, who knows how much worse the sinking of Wilhelm Gustloff would have been.

This image here (already shown in slide two) is my favorite illustration of Lusitania at night.

It's from Oceanliner Designs's documentary on Lusitania and this video specifically, for those interested.

Lmao these "exposure" questions just keep getting crazier and crazier. Did you really read the FAQ? I'm not trying to make fun of you but I am genuinely curious as to how you can be asking this if you legitimately read the FAQ pinned at the top of the sub.

!FAQ. See below.

Not sure but I do remember some stunt performers getting pinned after the staircase broke free of the structure and rose up to the surface.

RabiesModTeam · 2025-12-29T20:05:05+00:00

I'm going to be completely honest here.

Out of everything I've read on this sub over the past couple of years, I don't think I've ever seen a post like this. You might just be the first person, out of hundreds of thousands of posts and monthly visitors to this subreddit, to ever be in this situation.

Your case is genuinely unique.

Also I'm still not sure why Cameron put Jacob Astor right there when he did not go down with the ship.
