Just read the title and thought "Not now Cthulu, we've got enough going on"
- sgbeal 6mo agoWhereas i was thinking "it's about time a hero arrived!" ;) i don't presume to know whether Cthulhu is the hero we need or the hero we deserve.
- BLKNSLVR 6mo agoDefinitely the one we deserve...
- cozzyd 6mo agoNext time I go to the site to dig out a station, maybe I'll leave a Ctulhu to surprise the next person :)
- NooneAtAll3 6mo agowe didn't start the fire it was always burning since the world was turning
- ReptileMan 6mo agoBut we definitely tried our best to extinguish it with gasoline.
- ryandamm 6mo agoTo be fair, that’s the recommended way to put out an alkali metal fire. At least according to my grandfather who helped write safety regulations for nuclear subs whose reactors were cooled by liquid sodium. Not really something I’d want to try out in practice, seems like a fire in a nuclear reactor under the ocean, where the source of the fire explodes on contact with water, is a less-than-ideal situation. Not a bad metaphor for the times, though.
- ReptileMan 6mo agoThat is indeed the second best way to extinguish them. The best when seeing alkali metal burning is a good pair of running shoes.
- prmoustache 6mo agoRunning shoes won't help you much in a nuclear submarine.
- NooneAtAll3 6mo agoit's important to remember - it has always felt like that
- gibsonsmog 6mo agoCthulu is supposed to rise and induce madness in the population, driving them towards death and destruction right? Seems like he'd be bored these days
- psychoslave 6mo agoEarth, 2026. Silently shifting through the mysterious dimensional plans, Cthulhu just jumped in. Thinking it could unleash new level of despair and frights on the mere mortal souls inhabiting this world, it was anticipating it's own jubilation. Throwing a glance omnivision on it however, all sense of joy suddenly vanished from its monstrous mind and to its own surprise, despair was invading it as it was contemplating situations far more awful than what it had ever devised. All self inflicted by small almost-thoughtless meat bags. Shifting back, it tried to convince itself this never happened and in the same time, promise itself to never land again on this desolated place.
- ReptileMan 6mo agoAt this point I am more than willing to hear his political platform.

- nottorp 6mo agoI thought of The Thing... Does the study mention if all their dogs are accounted for and acting normally?
- kjs3 6mo agoIf you think someone has a heart attack, do not do CPR.
- aezart 6mo agoProbably more likely to run into a Shoggoth than Cthulhu in the Antarctic, or maybe an Elder Thing if any are still around. Rl'yeh is a bit further north.
