Make the plugs irregular so that when they blow they act like a huge ballistic round aimed at some enemy.

TFG suggests we nuke the volcanos -- gotta nuke something.
idiotcube
Why don't we take the volcano, and push it somewhere else?
Zahnradfee
No, we should nuke it.
Sinisfun
I say we throw anti-vaxxers into volcanos to appease the gods and prevent eruptions from happening
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
I say we dig giant trenches around the volcano and stretch a tarp over the hole. Thus muffling the pyroclastic flow and creating a lava moat
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
Or make a very large condom

She's kidding though right? She knows she's being silly. She has to. This is a joke. Yeah, she was joking from the start. Yeah

It's not about science but about scale. People can't grasp just how big and powerful things are, so they only work in their own frame of /

/reference. It is like those kids with the "ocean cleanup" silliness and their ridiculous sweeper design. Oceans are very big and dangerous.
DarKandTwistedbartender
Why not try sacrificing one politician throwing them in? Or 10? Or 1000? Heck it, ALL OF THEM!
OdinYggd
If its all of them I'll help you with that.
DarKandTwistedbartender
You know the joke “ how do you call 1001 politician thrown in a volcano?”
DarKandTwistedbartender
A good start, that’s how you call it! p.s. I live on a volcano, can confirm so
mannabananarama
Well we used to toss someone in as a sacrifice and I vote for using this guy as a test to see if it works

Nuke. The. Volcano.

I like the idea that magma can come up through miles and miles of bedrock, only to be stopped by a ttiinnnnnyyyyyy plug
Grenateh
You don't even need to know science,. Look at Mt. St. Helens before, and after. It's fucking obvious concrete wouldn't do jack shit.
TheoFromSteam
What if you just covered the whole mountain in concrete?
Leonon
You'd annoy a bunch of geologists.
TheoFromSteam
Sounds like something we could fix with concrete!

No vulcanos in sight, getting rid of mountains works!

As well it should. Listening to him has caused more death & destruction than pretty much any given eruption I know about.

Capping of volcano is a good idea, as long as you drill a relief hole in the direction of lava flow you want

These are perfect!
AtmaDarkwolf
Joking aside, has anyone ever actually tried to burrow a tunnel/trench into the magma mass under mountain to have it flow away from people?
R100GSPD
Or relive pressure to prevent a violent eruption.
SmashySashimi
Everybody knows that if you plug a volcano, another one somewhere else in the world erupts. Which then starts the Volcano Wars.

People need to learn to give nature space to do its thing, and when nature is in a mood get out of the way.

Hilariously stupid you mean. That first idea, the volcano would explode and make a far bigger disaster.

Watch "The Volcano" documentary on Netflix. Gave me a totally new respect for volcanoes

Yeah before i saw that one I was all "volcanoes pfft I could take any one of those in a fight easily"

It's just that usually everyone in a p flow dies so it doesn't really click how fucked you'd be

TrueNorthernLights
Water and Volcanos are not a good mix.
skwint
There was a very old black-and-white cartoon of a guy blocking up miniture volcanoes in his house. They whistled till he blocked them.
skipweasel
A bit of care and you could have a calliope.
skwint
Then he started unplugging them in a sequence to make a tune and then everything got blown up by a really big one. I cannot find it though.
realizedagain
Steamboat willie era stuff, I remember it too. Sorry I can’t find a source
OdinYggd
Unlike the other ideas, this one actually has some merit. Drill a deep pipe and fill it with water. When it boils, run away.
Borgham
Don't you think there are actual volcano alarm systems tho, like on active volcanoes that reaches out to more people than a whistle
BifurcatedDickShaft
Some of us want a little whimsy along with our natural disasters, OK pal?
Borgham
Volcano whistles, earthquake rattlers, hurricane wind chimes, maybe some tidal gongs perhaps?
HenryLongfellowIII
I believe they got advance warning of eruption by broken geothermal pipes. The pipes were said to disturb the vulcan gods (maybe a 2nd one).

Christ, it's that time of the month again?
SmokyTrumpets
Well there's your problem. The front fell off. I'm almost certain they're not supposed to do that.

I remember hearing that explosion. I was about 500 Km away on a camping trip along the West Coast Trail.
quintessentialrob
Don't blow your top, dude
Thekindofkindlyman
I told you it was going to be a heavy flow day
Mirilali
I've watched this so many times (grew up near it) that I simultaneously recognize it and now think it looks slimy when it loses pixels.

Is it St. Helen or a frog this time ?

That’s so far away. How fast is that column climbing?

I didn't know footage survived of the initial eruption. Thank you for this. ?
Kergar
The footage, yes. Whoever took it?.... I'm not sure
Akurei00
I am sure. No, he didn't survive.
ironymus
afaik is the footage by Robert Landsburg. He died in the pyroclastic stream following the eruption. He's thrown his own body on top 1/2

It's like 4 or 5 photos.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
correct, merged to simulate the freakish landslide.
onlyawfulnamesleft
The eruptions do happen freakishly fast, though. The landslide moved up to 250km/h. It's nightmarish.
Hotjoe1991
Mount St. Helens. The tragic part is this is only a still photo sideshow. The guy had a video camera set up but forgot to turn it on.
onlyawfulnamesleft
That... that's the tragic part of Mt St Helens?
TuckerTheGuy
My family lived through pinatubo. Decades later the ash is still a huge issue.

The tragic part of the documentation of the eruption but that wouldnt fit in a single comment.

Pyroclastic flow - "An avalanche of poisonous Quik-crete hotter than a pizza oven coming down at 100+ MPH"
Thekindofkindlyman
If that guy running survived he’s looking back on this saying “why did I try to run faster than the van?”
Kamchatkah
"Hotter than a pizza oven" you guys will do anything to avoid reasonable scales of measurement.
EccentricNimoy
C'mon, a pizza ove is easily 1000 salsas hot

#3 NASA didn't actually give Sally Ride 100 tampons, they just asked if that was enough. They also designed makeup kit that was never used
weidermeijer
No makeup? So the rest of the crew got to see her like the morning after?
TenguKaiju
It was an idea floated because she was supposed to do several video lessons while in space.
GryphonAyresFantasyAirline
I see what you did there. Have my upvote
ChocolatePizzaMemes
I mean, it's better than to assume she needs x amount. Maybe she likes to make stick figures out of them?
MotionOfTheOcean
Also they didn't know if gravitation affected menstruation. Worst case scenario, she'd have non-stop flow. And IIRC they also had to 1/2
MotionOfTheOcean
Take into account the danger of getting temporarily stranded on the space station. So extra was considered for that time span. 2/3
MotionOfTheOcean
They really put thought in it and while we can laugh at lot of ignorance on women's bodies in the past, this isn't one of shitty examples 3)
CaptainBergatron
bunnylicious
My fav part of that story is that they can do the maths to land & operate shit on Mars but didn't just do the simple math to figure this out
Xelada
When rounding NASA always rounded towards excess tampon, because it's way better to send too many than not enough.
gobblinal
Which direction do they round if it's a negative amount?
Xelada
Whichever one is better for safety, human comfort, and/or general "if we are off, which way would we prefer to be off in".
Override9636
The math was for triple redundancy and emergency prep Incase of extended duration on the ISS and if micrograv increased blood flow.
inevermadeone
Wasn't Sally Ride before the ISS
Override9636
The 100 estimate was well within how NASA typically plans for crew cargo. Not to mention tampons are relatively light, so more is better.
Acc87
Like the guys currently on the ISS. "Hey, your Sojus is broken. You'll stay 6 months longer."
Arbitrarynamehere
Yeah but isn't it better to make fun of the science nerds with no gfs haha /s
diditforbananas
It really is. I always overpack pads at all times of the month even though I generally choose to skip my period ?
gobblinal
"Choose"? That's an option?
mrthewhitee
They did the math. They just also thought it would be courteous to check with the female crew member to validate.
bunnylicious
Aaaahhh I was under the impression that they just asked her first which tbh didn't make sense to me. Good on them
TheBlueMuppet
They know Phallic math. That was Vulvic math. They had no idea.
madamfives
Psst, the math you're thinking of is Yonic
TheBlueMuppet
Vulvic is the more recent term, and matches Phallic as an opposite in the same languages.
vegivamp
Both work. Different languages, and for yonic the other one would have to be lingamic.
