Social media users have been left perplexed by the appearance of a yellow submarine GIF as the top choice on platforms like WhatsApp and Tinder. While the cartoon GIF of the underwater vessel may have been popularized by the Beatles’ hit song and subsequent film, its prominence now coincides with the ongoing Titanic sub rescue mission. Some users have speculated that social media platforms may be deliberately featuring the submarine GIF during this critical search operation, although GIF libraries generally show them based on popularity. The GIF also ranks high on Facebook Messenger but not on Twitter or Instagram. WhatsApp and Tinder rely on the GIF library Tenor, owned by Google, while Giphy is another provider used by WhatsApp. Even though Giphy doesn’t give the submarine GIF as much prominence on its site, it appears that GIF libraries prioritize frequently used GIFs or those related to users’ message content. The submarine GIF’s popularity may be attributed to social media users sending it to each other, possibly in connection to the missing Titanic sub. The trending “submarine” keyword on various platforms further indicates the attention surrounding this news story. It’s worth noting that a submarine is distinct from a submersible, with a submarine being a self-sufficient vessel and a submersible requiring support from another vessel or shore team. The search for the missing Titanic submersible, potentially resting at extreme depths, intensifies as rescuers race against time.
