For decades I have asked myself one simple question: why is China building up its industrial capacity? The answer is obvious. They're going to make a large wooden horse with every member of the PLA inside and send it to the US as a gift.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to the Horny Button. Pressing it will take hold of you, and you will regret its absence without a Horny+ membership.

Oh shit, that's a crime? In Colorado?

A tyre will burn for upwards of several hours. Even a broken-down car has four of them.

It is the 41st Millennium, 8PM ET. Forget the promise of healthcare and public schools, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only the 2-3 Week War with Iran.

China is building something called a "biosphere". Why? Why is it spherical? Do they intend to roll it down a staircase toward us like Indiana Jones?

Although Tanis and Chicxulub were connected by the remaining Interior Seaway, the massive water waves from the impact area were probably not responsible for the deposits at Tanis. Any water-borne waves would have arrived between 18 and 26 hours later,[2]: p.24  long after the microtektites had already fallen back to earth, and far too late to leave the geological record found at the site. It is not even clear whether the massive waves were able to traverse the entire Interior Seaway.[2]: p.8  Instead, the initial papers on Tanis conclude that much faster earthquake waves, the primary waves travelling through rock at about 5 km/s (11,000 mph),[2]: p.8  probably reached Hell Creek within six minutes, and quickly caused massive water surges known as seiches in the shallow waters close to Tanis.[2]: p.8  Seiche waves often occur shortly after significant earthquakes, even thousands of miles away, and can be sudden and violent. Some recent examples include the 1964 Alaskan earthquake (seiches in Puerto Rico),[20] the 1950 Assam-Tibet earthquake (India/China) (seiches in England and Norway), the 2010 Chile earthquake (seiches in Louisiana). Notably, after the powerful magnitude 9.0 – 9.1 Tōhoku earthquake in 2011, slower secondary waves traveled over 8,000 km (5,000 miles) in less than 30 minutes to cause seiches around 1.5–1.8 m (4.9–5.9 ft) high in Norway.[21][2]: p.8

The Chicxulub impact is believed to have triggered earthquakes estimated at magnitude 10 – 11.5,[2]: p.8  releasing up to 4000 times the energy of the Tohoku quake.Note 1 Co-author Mark Richards, a professor of earth sciences focusing on dynamic earth crust processes,[22] suggests that the resulting seiche waves would have been approximately 10–100 m (33–328 ft) high in the Western Interior Seaway near Tanis[2]: p.8  and credibly, could have created the 10 – 11 m (33 – 36 feet) high water movements evidenced inland at the site; the time taken by the seismic waves to reach the region and cause earthquakes almost exactly matched the flight time of the microtektites found at the site.[23] This would resolve conflicting evidence that huge water movements had occurred in the Hell Creek region near Tanis much less than an hour after impact, although the first megatsunamis from the impact zone could not have arrived at the site for almost a full day.

That must have been such a wild sight. 100m tsunamis hitting North Dakota, all of the fish breathing molten rock.

This study was referenced in the above post about the immediate heat deaths. It's fascinating that we can time it so well. I can't think of another unwitnessed impact that has similar pinpoint seasonal indicators to date it with. Really unfortunate that it hit at the worst time for most life in that hemisphere.

Per my Canadian girlfriend: I cannot come to happybadger's school in my porsche and say hi to everyone because I am undergoing intense physical therapy. Sorry. I will do that later.

Lemmy.World was so close to doing the right thing after instance-that-will-not-be named's admins were calling for the death of LW's admins while spreading rumours and labeling others in such a way that painted them as targets for murder. All of that, mind you, with absoultey no evidence other than specuation and their own cooked-up conspiracies about modlog actions or taking and twisting things wildly out of context to fit their made-up narratives so they had someone to say they 'caught' and should be killed.

.world was on the precipice of doing the right thing and disaccociating themselves from that psychotic shit show, but silently dropped the issue and carried on as usual after wringing their hands for maybe two weeks.

Literally the spiderman pointing at spiderman meme. I love how absurd their fixation with us is given that we control over 80% of the mod/admin accounts on Lemmy.world.

The Rockies are such a fascinating mountain range. There are points where you're standing on the bottom of an ancient shallow sea looking at the Chicxulub asteroid impact, where dinosaurs stick out of the rock above Denver, and some of the most dramatic canyons and hogback formations on the planet.

I continue to meet with my uncle regarding Nintendo and Pokemon business, including discussions on new games, secret pokemon, how Yugioh was inspired by me, exclusive merch and my own real life pikachu being bred right now by my uncle's scientists.

"What if the Johnny Depp Character Wig was bald?"

But for a brief moment, ChatGPT retained user engagement.

As long as the character is Johnny Depp wearing his Johnny Depp Character Wig, he's great at it.

Dizzy Gillespie's version will always be the best for me, outside of Charly Antolini's famous drum solo. It's such a good jazz standard for solos.

I'm jealous of cargo bike kids. They have such a nice lifestyle here. Every trip to school is alongside waterways, through parks and wilderness areas, and past most of our municipal services. Their parents aren't stressed and they stay connected to the seasons. I would have benefited so much from it over my mother buying unreliable used cars.

Nobody writes an article about me when I do this.

Veteran-themed coffee companies, $5000 designer dogs that shit all over the floor, we can steal each others' only means of transportation and use that to do Uber, vape store, and arson for insurance fraud. There are plenty of options.
