I want to talk about Super-volcanoes yall. These motherfuckers are serious.


Just recently, Yellow stone lake has started tipping like a bowl filled with water to one side, as if you’re trying to spill to contents out of it. It’s doing this because one side of the lake is halfway towards the middle of a giant, super-massive volcanic caldera that is starting to bulge, and the other side is faced away from it in a downward slope.

This caldera is so huge that at one time scientist were puzzled with regards as to where to look for it, as Yellow Stone itself was obviously an active Hotspot of some type. Satelite images finally revealed that the entire park was inside the caldera! 75 x 45 square kilometers--that’s serious shit folks!

Moreover, it’s geologically active, with explosions happening on average, once every 600,000 years, with the last major eruption at 633,000 years ago. Ergo, this son of a bitch is due!

People, I’m talking about volcanoes that explode with the impact of 10,000 Mt. St. Helens, dumping enough ash and gas into the atmosphere to disrupt crops for an entire year (or more), wiping out millions of lives, on a global, catastrophic scale. It could possibly even trigger glacial advancement. Yes, you heard me! Imagine Prince’s symbol years, and how his career imploded, then multiply that a few dozen times, and you get a sense of the serious shit I’m talkin’ about.

The last Supervolcano was the volcano Toba, 74,000 years ago on the Island of Sumatra. The affects were global.

you're like if they did a remake of 'welcome back kotter' with K-Fed playing the gabe kaplan role.

Did you see Last Night with Sandra Ho.
It's about how people spent their last day on earth before the sun blew up.

No ,but it sounds interesting.

You're making this thread depressing.

wasn't it the mayans that thought the world would end in 2012?

evenstar said:

Well, the Jehova's witness keep getting it wrong, and the Christians wont commit to deliverable date, so why should I think the mayans or any other religion for that matter will pull through?


This is a celebration of the respect we must have for nature! R-e-s-p-e-c-t!




(I had to read it several times to ensure I spelled respect right)

It's really a story about coming to terms with your life and a love story I think. They made the end look very calm. I don't know if that was because it's Canadian or it's because people had about a year to prepare for the end.

So, you're saying that the odds of this happening in our lifetimes is way higher than the gamma ray burst?

Imago said:

oh i've got plenty respect for nature. nature shook the building i was in like it was a toy earlier tonight!

(your spelling has so improved over the years )

If volcanoes, meteors, gamma ray bursts, and supernovas don't get us, the vegan Scientologiest will!

Imago said:

And if we survive all of that, our own DNA will eventually turn against us.


Why do we try, really?

Imago said:

that's a lot of heavy shit to lay on xenu loving veganists, damn it.

gas is bubbling out of a man-made lake near here
