Always resort to fear mongering

No I'm saying that it's not a given that we'd know in advance, and if we do, it's also not a given it will be handled sufficiently enough to inform everyone who needs to know to survive it correctly

`>It’s entirely possible those conditions may never exist again: The supervolcano may be dying, said Ilya Bindeman, a University of Oregon geology professor who has been working on Yellowstone's caldera for 20 years. Each supereruption melts part of the crust, hardening it and making it more difficult to generate enough heat to remelt the material.`

Truly

2019-08-22 18:52:19 UTC  

I have reached peak condescension

2019-08-22 18:52:19 UTC  

I'm not saying it's *going* to happen. All signs we've seen point to it never happening as she mentions

**OMG geyez ids habidding!!1!**

>But a massive eruption at Yellowstone – or another from one of the other dozen or so supervolcanoes in the world – would still not be the mass-extinction-level event some fear.

@Windleaf Just like the Muslims...

2019-08-22 18:52:46 UTC  

However it is still possible. We'd *survive* but it'd be real shitty.

2019-08-22 18:52:53 UTC  

No

2019-08-22 18:52:55 UTC  

**IDS HOBLETS**

2019-08-22 18:52:58 UTC  

Yeah, there's no denying that it'd be shitty

2019-08-22 18:53:00 UTC  

It'd be kind of shitty

2019-08-22 18:53:15 UTC  

But we'd presumably have years upon years in advance to plan some shit out

2019-08-22 18:53:24 UTC  

Hell, **we don't even know when the explosion would occur**

2019-08-22 18:53:43 UTC  

We do know it aint soon

2019-08-22 18:53:55 UTC  

According to all models we have, yeah.

>farms inside giant warehouses

2019-08-22 18:54:23 UTC  

We'd need a series of really unfortunate geological events to make it actually happen out of the blue right now.

2019-08-22 18:54:32 UTC  

If it happened right now

If you can power the UV lights you need to make that work, @SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck

2019-08-22 18:54:43 UTC  

It'd be a partial eruption

2019-08-22 18:54:46 UTC  

So uh

2019-08-22 18:54:55 UTC  

Still not much of a problem

2019-08-22 18:55:23 UTC  

I doubt it'd even be on the level of the previous one, if Michael Poland's predictions are accurate

2019-08-22 18:55:23 UTC  

Again, all *current models* say that's the biggest it could get

Diminishing returns, and all

2019-08-22 18:55:46 UTC  

@Bones OMG, so relatable, Becky!

2019-08-22 18:55:54 UTC  

We don't have Laplace's Demon on staff lol

2019-08-22 18:56:12 UTC  

: DDDDDDD

2019-08-22 18:56:26 UTC  

I doubt we even need to be THAT accurate

2019-08-22 18:56:45 UTC  

who knows, by then we could predict shit like that to within a day or two
