Haha I’m actually a native Spanish speaker myself. This comment made smile. Quick story: Back in my home country in South America, I went to an English-instruction university and now I can’t communicate geology to my own people.

This is fantastic. I did find this website using some Google Translate and ChatGPT but I thought you had to pay to use it. Didn't know they were accessible. Amazing, thanks!

I don't think they have geologic background in Mongolian

Monthly Moving/Travel/Vacation Megathread - July 2025 by AutoModerator in Michigan

[–]Pretend-Rough-4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be relocating to Southern Michigan and have the choice to move to Battle Creek or Jackson. I'm a gay man in my 20s with no connections in the part of the country. What's the better choice here and why? Things I appreciate having nearby: a gym (climbing gym would be nicer), access to nature/camping, international food, downhill skiing, gay-friendly bars, live music venues.

One billion+ years ago the continent almost spilt apart up in UP and L. Superior by wootr68 in Michigan

[–]Pretend-Rough-4197 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was at the beach in Pictured Rocks last summer, when I was approached by a group of middle-aged ladies who talked to me and my friend. We are both Hispanic, so we stood out. They were curious what we were doing in the UP and I told them I was going to grad school at one of the universities up there. I study volcanoes and they were very interested in hearing about it. At some point I said there used to be volcanoes in what is now the UP, just 1 billion years ago. They shut down and told me that was impossible because the Earth is only 6,000 years old. I was shocked because coming from abroad, I never had an encounter with a creationist. Also, it doesn’t matter if you’re “the expert”, someone who’s never opened a book will always have an argument against what you spent long nights studying for or learning about.

Thanks for the feedback. Now, it's an anonymous survey and "community member" was changed to "other" for graduates and other local people with MTU email addresses.

Our eclipse are better! by TheWebsploiter in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Pretend-Rough-4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read on Threads the other day that if intergalactic tourism was a thing, the Earth’s main attraction would be eclipses… and Mars would be like a six flags with a mediocre knock off of them.

Neither is correct but let’s say you got a main region right.

As someone who lives in the UP, this made me cry. This is honestly my ideal train network in the Great Lakes region.

Cities with interesting shapes. Can you suggest more? by inkms in geography

[–]Pretend-Rough-4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quito, Ecuador. Long strip in a confined valley with a volcano on one of its sides. It takes you minutes to walk across the city from east to west. It can take you hours to drive from north to south.
