If we put enough corn kernels it would fill up the volcano with popcorn and it will just shoot popcorn all over the tri state area ๐ง
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Why has noone ever experimented with placing a very large spaceship in the mouth of an active volcano? And when erupting, the space ship would fly to space without needing any fuel. No resources wasted on multiple stage rockets just to carry up fuel a few km, all that's needed is an enormous spaceship in the shape of a cement plug.
They did manage to use a modified battleship cannon to fire things into orbit. I think the main problem is not knowing how much explosive power you'll get for a given eruption.
Not knowing how much is not that big an issue. If it's too much, then it becomes an interplanetary ship. If it's not enough, then it will come down soon enough and we can just try again on an another volcano. It's probably going to require a bit of patience from the crew, passengers and offspring, but eventually there will be a big enough eruption and it will all work out smoothly in the end.
You can't shoot things into orbit with a battleship cannon, the acceleration is just too great for a rocket to survive. You can shoot them very high, but not into orbit.
Space guns have to be very, very big to shoot a rocket at a survivable speed.
Iraq had a space gun project, but Israel assassinated it's chief engineer.
When Kilauea was making news for erupting, I showed my (now ex) partner a photo of the lava flow over the road with hazard barriers to keep people away.
Her response was to ask why they didn't just divert the flow away from where people are.
I mean yeah, why instead of writing "people stay away" don't they just put "lava stay away"?
I just realised, that I first learned about pressure as a kid, when watching cartoon characters trying too stop a leak using body parts.
Big badda boom
This creates a bomb, the interesting thing is does the cork or the side blow first
Prevent harmful eruptions with one simple trick. Frees up more time for your other hobbies, like making pipe bombs.
The people that get off watching those pimple popping videos on YouTube would literally NUT to this one weird TRICK
I'm sure Super Glue would work too.
I thought we just needed a good guy with a volcano.
Somebody didn't see those mount St Helens videos....
God: What the fuck are they doing down there bro
Thoughts and prayers have a better chance of success
