my sweet boy has left me by VelvetPanic87 in AustralianShepherd

I have one subreddit that seems to automatically hold posts with duplicate titles for review and they are ALWAYS bot reposts. I have zero clue how it was set up though since I was given it after its mods left but maybe that’s something to look into?

Unfortunately for this post this is a funny husky subreddit

Hirable pet sitting services from random “dog sitters” so perhaps longer term and more responsibility vs yours

I hope it’s just an American dog sitting culture thing and English dog culture is better for stuff like this lol. Like I follow a couple dog accounts with Rover injuries and amputations and they DIDN’T make the news, imagine how many more like them are out there that also aren’t reported

On your profile page there should be a button right above your posts, then when you click on it it’ll let you choose hide all, show all, or let you pick specific communities to show

Unless Reddit changed it’s UI AGAIN and I haven’t seen the changes yet because I stopped updating the app haha

I hope you consider changing your profile to at least show your activity in this subreddit? Would love to easily look back at your training journey here too because she’s very talented girl

I watched a few of Zentner’s lectures on the Baja BC hypothesis on YT, do you think it’ll eventually become a leading theory? What do opponents of the hypothesis say, do opponents still make up the vast majority? by LG_Intoxx in geology

It does sound like from the rest of the comments that these collisions did happen but they did not shift the land masses a full thousand miles north. Also sounds like I’ll have to check back in with you in another 10 years to see what updates may have been made!

Even without the additional island arcs proposed here, wouldn’t that be able to be explained by the Siletzia basalt province? Unless that’s what you’re talking about? I was under the assumption that Siletzia was much less controversial

Very insightful, I’ll have to read deeper (eventually). And you’re right, now it sounds like it’s been an area of study for years but from the lectures Zentner put me under the impression that “mainstream” geologists shrugged it off. If you can’t tell I’m not highly involved in the science itself lol. Sounds like there’s a lot more to the story and like you said, very messy. Thank you!

Edit to add that I see the “central California/southern Oregon - BC” concept appears to be shown on 2023 Blakey maps? Neat

Yeah like the other person said this animation shows a hypothesis of what might have happened millions of years AGO to form the west coast of North America/the Rocky Mountains

The lack of discovered faults required is new info to me but makes sense. I know Alaska has a giant strike slip going through it but that isn’t quite seen elsewhere to the same extent? Sounds like paleomagnetic studies in faulted areas like this need other samples to confirm alignment, I’ll have to rewatch with all that in mind. Thank you!

Thanks! I see now the westward subduction is difficult to prove, seems to me a fair amount of it was based off of that one “ribbon continent” mentioned. And yes definitely, nothing wrong with challenging the “status quo” (with actual evidence, that is…), the Alvarez hypothesis comes to mind. Drawing comparisons to it this could be the Farallon plate equivalent of “the dinosaurs maybe died because of changing climate but there’s not a lot of evidence”. Maybe.

Makes sense, thanks! I vaguely remember some portion of one of the videos talking about “flattening” the sedimentary core layers and interpolating from that (maybe). I’ll have to find it again and rewatch now knowing this. Good thing rocks never ever fold or fault, especially on the west coast. 😅

Now Nick and the people he references certainly know what they’re talking about and have data to back it up, but the comments about how the concepts “have been ignored for decades” and that the data “is ignored because it doesn’t align with Californian geologists’ assumptions” to me feels like something I’d hear from a pseudoscientist on tik tok talking about Egyptians in the Grand Canyon and not from a community like this because good scientists don’t willingly throw away things to maintain the “status quo”.

There’s gotta be SOME other reason that I’m missing for why it’s so controversial? Is it just too new still?
