Russian volcano erupts for first time in centuries
(www.bbc.com)
Next article: volcano falls out of a window.
LMAO took me a second, then I pictured it XD
I have to wonder if the melting ice, changing where the weight of the world's water is, might have an impact on the frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes.
Scientists have already proved that and are worried about volcanoes in Greenland and Antarctica.
makes sense. a supervolcano would be ground zero for the coldest temps after the skies are blotted out with ash.
when you think about it like that, Greenland being a supervolcano doesn't sound so far fetched.
That's sort of how volcanoes work? They don't release the schedule, so you kinda have to be on your toes all the times. You know, hard times yada yada.
Some volcanoes are kind enough to give you about a week heads up.
But we also lack perspective. The volcanoes work in thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of years. For them being a few years, or for the larger ones a few thousand years "early" or "late" is what for us are a few seconds to minutes.
"Sunday's 7.0 magnitude quake hit the Kuril Islands and could lead to waves of up to 18cm (7in), Russia's emergency ministry reported."
" Ah! My ankles are wet! "
6 inches of running water can absolutely sweep you off your feet
Only if it's running fast and has been running over the surface long enough that it created a slick bio film on the ground already. A 6 inch wave of water won't even knock down your Grandma.
Yes, your legs can resist 10 lbs of lateral force, but for how long? 30 seconds? 2 minutes? Also what does the water carry?
Let's say the water carries a 3 foot wide tree branch against your ankles. Your surface area just went from 3 inches to 3 feet. 10 lbs becomes 120 lbs.
It's not as simple as walking with heavier shoes.
hmmm....is the ring of fire finally activating?
Trumpet chorus playing faintly in the distance
There are no threats to populated areas, Russia's emergency ministry said.
Which means nothing coming from the Russian state.
Sure, but it really is extremely isolated. There are some tiny towns a bit over 100 km away and then it's thousands of km to anywhere else. Volcanos rarely endanger more than 40 km around them.
So they didn't have to lie this time, nice
Earth: I gave some many signs
Guess he'll have to rebuild the secret lair somewhere else.
Who was the last ruzzian asshole president to be tossed into a volcano? Yes it could be accidental and from the 5th floor so long as the body enters the lava.
It's happening 👋 👋

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
