What would a magnitude 15 earthquake be like? (xkcd's What If?) [video]
- nfriedly 3y agoTIL that xkcd has a YouTube channel!
- h2odragon 3y agoI want to re-calibrate my stereo's volume to this scale now.
- atticora 3y agoPlease don't turn it up to eleven.
- h2odragon 3y agoI'm working on a notion for correcting the unfortunate axial tilt the Earth has. "Seasons" are a nuisance, it would so much easier if the pipples that like cold could live where its cold, and the pipples that like warm can live where it's not cold; and those places would not be hither and yon on this wobbly schedule. I don't think that a single big quake would do it, it will probably take a finely calculated, carefully applied series of nudges to straighten things out. Like I said, I'm still working on the plan. I'm willing to accept a certain amount of re-arranging of the coastlines and urban renewal if that necessary; we can always relocate people and sell condo developments on the new shorelines.

- infotainment 3y agoI always like to imagine it’s pronounced “Zicksyd”
