if you ate 10 it would be all over by now

2019-08-22 18:32:19 UTC  

>we would have decades of warning-signs

2019-08-22 18:32:39 UTC  

>it would only affect the states as far west as the limits of tornado alley IIRC

2019-08-22 18:32:53 UTC

you dont have big warnings before sudden diahrea

2019-08-22 18:33:11 UTC  

shit just happens
*pun intended*

2019-08-22 18:33:36 UTC  

>tornado alley
Isn't that like, a ton of Kansas?

2019-08-22 18:33:41 UTC  

Have you ever driven through Kansas?

2019-08-22 18:33:46 UTC  

Do you know what's in Kansas?

2019-08-22 18:33:51 UTC  

*fucking nothing but farms*

2019-08-22 18:34:21 UTC  

this is an estimate and shit

2019-08-22 18:34:36 UTC  

but....

2019-08-22 18:35:19 UTC  

it will kill the thirty people who live in that circle. big deal

2019-08-22 18:35:47 UTC  

Primary ash zone should be survivable (though potatos are a popular crop in Idaho, so potatos might get pricy for a bit)

2019-08-22 18:35:57 UTC  

Secondary though hits a lot of stuff

2019-08-22 18:36:37 UTC  

yeah portland, seattle, and san diego. big deal

2019-08-22 18:36:51 UTC  

It also covers a lot of farms and shit

2019-08-22 18:36:55 UTC  

which is my entire point

2019-08-22 18:36:57 UTC  

ya retard

2019-08-22 18:37:00 UTC  

pot farms. big deal

2019-08-22 18:37:07 UTC  

No, *food* farms

2019-08-22 18:37:13 UTC  

`What’s more, we’d probably have decades of warning between the first sign of an eruption and Yellowstone actually blowing its top, said Christy Till, a geologist and assistant professor at Arizona State University who has researched the volcano for the past six years. β€œThat's the kind of time scale where we think something could happen to trigger an eruption,” she said. β€œIt's not like it would happen tomorrow.”`
Worst case scenario, a couple hundred-thousand die and we lose a few billion in damages

2019-08-22 18:37:29 UTC  

I mean shit, like all of Nevada is covered, and that's a *ton* of ranches.

2019-08-22 18:37:35 UTC  

but at that point, we'll have likely put precautions in place to lessen the impact

2019-08-22 18:40:02 UTC  

Uh.... bunch more than a couple and definitely in the trillions for damage, minimum, but if we have that much warning we may be able to make it far more survivable and bring both of those values down.

2019-08-22 18:40:37 UTC  

A lot like nukes, the problem isn't the blast it's what the blast leaves behind.

2019-08-22 18:40:55 UTC  

trillions seems a bit...high

2019-08-22 18:41:01 UTC  

You're looking at just the direct impact

2019-08-22 18:41:26 UTC  

Food shortages lead to a *lot* of bad stuff.

2019-08-22 18:41:39 UTC  

>we could buy food from other countries

2019-08-22 18:42:06 UTC
