23 People Who Didn’t Know the Titanic was Real

Every now and then the Sifter likes to see what’s happening on Twitter. In the past, we’ve featured the top ‘Humble Brags‘ and admired the endless wisdom of Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Last week the Huffington Post published an article about people who didn’t realize the Titanic was real. Twitter user @boring_as_heck followed it up by going on a retweeting frenzy the other day, finding even more people that have recently learned the RMS Titanic was a real ship that sank almost 100 years ago (April 15, 1912). Below you will find a compilation between the two lists. Here are 23 people who didn’t know the Titanic was real…
