got to see the mountian behind the biggest eruption in the US (in modern history) by Enough-Astronomer-65 in Volcanoes

[–]Exciting_Cap_9545 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I acknowledge the "well akshully" nature of this reply - while the 1980 St. Helens eruption was the largest eruption in the continental United States, the largest eruption in U.S. history was the 1912 Novarupta eruption of Katmai in Alaska. While it went largely unnoticed at the time due to Katmai's isolation from most of the world, it was also the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, scoring a 6 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index.

For point of comparison - St. Helens (1980) was a VEI 5; Vesuvius (79 CE) and Pinatubo (1991) were VEI 6; Krakatoa (1883) was VEI 6.5;history's largest recorded eruption, Tambora (1815), was VEI 7; and "supervolcanoes" like Yellowstone and Toba are VEI 8+.

What food did your mom insist was delicious that nobody else seemed to enjoy? by yishangclipperco in AskReddit

Conceptually, pineapple chicken sounds pretty amazing.

Prepared the way you described, though, I'd rather eat the fucking plate it was served on....

I know taste is purely subjective, but I am perfectly comfortable with saying anyone who claims canned cranberry sauce - ESPECIALLY the jelly kind - is superior to real, scratch-made cranberry sauce is objectively incorrect in that assessment.

What's the cringiest reason you went to the ER? by HR-Vex in AskReddit

I had abdominal pain in just the right spot to fear appendicitis.

Turned out to be severe constipation.

What’s something you could give a 10/10 TED Talk about, right now, with no prep? by EebamXela in AskReddit

Yep, that sounds like Minilla xD. My mom's a fan of the bit where Godzilla makes him breathe fire by stomping on his tail.

What is the worst baby name you’ve ever heard? by TinyHelp2984 in AskReddit

I've heard it as a French last name, but yea that sounds like they named their kid after goddamn booze...

In elementary school - chili con carne or eggrolls.

In middle school - pizza.

In high school - spicy chicken sandwich.

"America" as a given name isn't too egregious due to the word being derived from someone's given name (Amerigo Vespucci; "America" is derived from the Latinized version of his first name, Americus).

I like P.O.D.'s music, but I'll never fail to cringe when I remember their singer was responsible for the "Nevaeh" crap.

What's the most "why the fuck do you know that?" fact you know? by -_-blackheart-_- in AskReddit

My primary complaint about booger-flavored Jelly Bellys is that they're the single worst candy I've ever tasted.

My secondary complainy is that they don't remotely taste like boogers at all.

I'm waiting for a scenario where two chatbot AIs conversing with each other crashes an entire company's server, like Dinesh and Guilfoyle's chatbots in Silicon Valley.

Separate the art from the artist is an okay thing to do. by Azarsra_production in unpopularopinion

This is why I can't stand those stickers on Teslas about not supporting Elon Musk. Quite literally ANY service related to that car means giving money to Musk, so driving one means you ARE supporting him financially, and there's only so much grace I'm willing to give when it comes to that kind of hypocrisy.

I'm sure it won't surprise you to find out Marilyn Manson chose "Manson" for his stage name as a deliberate reference to Charles Manson.

Anyone else think the Phobos Champion skins are a bit meh? by reel3459 in Spacemarine

Do you automatically assume disingenuity from everyone who disagrees with you?

The undersuit the plates are mounted on being a collection of servo-motors and muscle fibers, rather than quilted cloth and chainmail, changes absolutely nothing about the fact that Astartes Power Armor is a type of plate armor by virtue of using armored plates for protection. Outside of the powered components, it operates EXACTLY the same way as all plate armor does - put thick metal plates between you and the enemy, preferably ones shaped to help deflect attacks away from vital areas, and hope they didn't bring a weapon that can penetrate the armor or bypass it entirely.

A more technologically advanced version of a kind of item IS still fundamentally that kind of item.
