bad news for grapplers and other life forms

[kracker]

-t3h str33ts may flow with broken glass and lava all over America if the supervolcano in Yellowstone national park explodes. A "supervolcano" is defined as one with anywhere between 1000x and 10,000x as much devastating power as a "normal" volcano. This means that pretty much all of North America would be fucked and the rest of the world would die a slower, more painful death due to the megatons of debris that would go into the atmosphere. The good news is that, according to geologists, this volcano explodes only about every 600,000 years, the bad news is that the volcano exploded 640,000 years ago. It's times like these I wish I was a young earther. So what are your views on this, Will the reign of the chunners come in within our lifetimes, or are you skeptical and think this is another one of the legions of doomsday warnings that won't happen anytime soon?

Here's a reasonable site that says there's little reason to worry

If it happens it happens.

I do like that all Doomsday people seem to think every cataclysmic disaster is going to hit America.

Is it because we (Americans) eat this shit up?

[Teh El Macho]

Think of it this way. The survivors will have a chance to go tribal and wear cool fucking outfits made out of scraps of tires, wires, American football helmets and shoulder guards.



I have a pot that I can use for helmet, with chicken feathers and shit, tactical boots, knee pads for tiling, some shinny metalic things I can use to fashion a collar, and a pair of South Park underpants.

All I need is a big ass german shepherd or rottweiler and I'll be fucking ready for this shit.

Have you ever seen a Doomsday person's World Atlas? There's one big land mass in the middle surrounded by water with 'here be dragons' written in old English around it.

Hell yea I hope it goes down, then we can fight with guns and swords and shit, lol...Oh and our fists too, hand to hand combat to the death would be a dream come true.

Don't we do that already?

I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any kind of change, my friend.

Can't one of you go to Wyoming and start digging?

[Purpleskunk]

shit happens. just crapple the fuck outa the lava. just watch for your position over technique.

But with all the lava everywhere on the ground wouldn't chunners have a natural advantage from a Darwinian perspective?

[MastaChance]

No we dont fight to death already, lol. It would be nice though. That way all the shit talkers couldnt talk anymore after losing, like ol Ken gLAMROCK, AFTER oRTIZ FUCKED HIM UP TWICE HE WAS STILL TALKING SHIT.

I hate to tell you, but all that 600,000 year figure means is that there's only a 1:600,000 chance every year that that will happen.
By the time it actually happens again, we'll probably be able to watch it from the safety of the moon, or possibly a fully terraformed Mars.

And we need to get heat-resistant double-weave gis man. That no-gi shit is going out of the window with all the fucking waves of boiling lava and crap.

[Ryno]

Hell yeah! Now I can convince my wife that I really do need that new double weave.

[Toby Christensen]

I'll be ensconced in my bunker 1km below the earth in a breezy part of Australia. The concept of rebuilding civilisation tickles me no end. Civilisation NEEDS a shakeup.

Plus in 100 years we're going to see a bigger trend in underground living, so more people will survive this sort of thing.

LAVATORR!!! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US????
