It has other resources, and I'm sure we could convince conservatives that woke libtards will be triggered and owned if conservatives have blue-asbestos-eating contests

[–] grue 64 points 11 months ago (4 children)

You joke, but meteorite impacts causing large igneous provinces on the opposite side of the planet might actually be a thing.

(Uluru and Meteor Crater are provably not an example of this, though, for several reasons: they aren't antipodes of each other, Uluru is five orders of magnitude older, and the phenomenon I mentioned would've been caused by way, way bigger impacts.)

It's astounding that one can learn really cool and interesting stuff by posting random nonsense to the shitpost community, lol. Thanks for the link! That was indeed new to me ;)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

There is correlation evidence on Mars too! I don't think it's been considered casual at this point, but Atlas Pro has a really cool YouTube video showing a lot of potential examples. The Hawaiian Islands were particularly convincing to me. I'll try and find the video.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I read igneous as indigenous and went into that wiki very confused for a moment.

On the upside it got me there to donate to Wikipedia

Imagine tossing a rock in the ocean so hard that the ripples converge on the other side of the globe. That’s wild…

Edit: seismic ripples

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Do they have to be antipodal? If we imagine a clock face overlaid over an image of the earth, if a meteorite strikes vertically (i.e. parallel to the 12-6 line) at 11, could it result in a bulge at 7?

[–] SonnyVabitch 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just find it remarkably lucky that the Arizona meteorite missed the visitor centre by just a few feet.

[–] expatriado 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

i also find strange big meteorites always land on craters

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's all a little too convenient, if know what I mean.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 11 months ago

Don't believe Big Crater's lies.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 30 points 11 months ago

Flat-earthers will lose their minds over this.

Round-earthers will think this is kinda dumb too.

How the fuck did you manage to get an upside down thumbs up

[–] SonnyVabitch 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My brain struggled a bit with the upside down crater..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah I didn't notice it till after I posted, should have flipped that bottom image to make the joke work better, but it's lemmyshitpost so why bother.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.

[–] SonnyVabitch 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It works for me. The shaded inside of the indent is interpreted as the shaded side of a hill.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I was convinced it was a gif and I was blinking during the transition until I read this

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

this also implies the existence of a large dent in the earth's core and mantle.... hmm

[–] Jackcooper 11 points 11 months ago

TIL there is a big crater near Flagstaff that is privately owned for some reason

I was disappointed to learn you can't go into the crater or all the way around

[–] FauxPseudo 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does anyone know where I can visit the crater of a soft impact meteorite?

[–] Ejh3k 3 points 11 months ago

I can give you the address of my wife's ex-husband.

I THINK NOT

Flat Earthers be like 🔺️

[–] Smoogs 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

although they aren’t antipodal of each other (at least now in current day) and Ayer’s rock is solid stone but still … yes…very suspect.

There is interesting theories about how certain mountains on the earth used to be formed to each other and as the earth separated there’s these slanting cliffs its like seeing a jigsaw puzzle pieces kinda scattered around. It’s one of my favorite theories to think about whenever I view slanting mountain cliffs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So just regular structural geology then?

[–] Smoogs 3 points 11 months ago

That’s the fault lines, yes, but think bigger : plate / continental drift.

[–] Cheskaz 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The traditional name, Uluru, is what is commonly used in Australia.

(I'm genuinely not trying to be a dick, I've just not heard the British name used in decades)

[–] Smoogs 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its been called by both in Australia. It’s called uluru by First Nations. Important distinction. I’m from Australia too.

[–] Cheskaz 2 points 11 months ago

I wasn't disagreeing that it's been called both; I just haven't heard the other name in a decade or so. Probably a filter bubble thing.

[–] Kase 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Stupid question but, why isn't the meteorite still there? (Did they move it to area 51? /s)

[–] SasquatchBanana 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For those curious, they have it (or at least parts of it) on display in the facility you can see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, they were mining chunks of it historically.

[–] AtomfriedMegaforce 6 points 11 months ago

Take that flat earthers

[–] Bytemeister 2 points 11 months ago

Now do chicxulub and the Andes.
