Yellowstone about to explode? *Language warning

On a geologic time scale, it's imminent.

I hope it's not the same day as the 7.0 earthquake that's supposed to hit SLC.

BYUBandfan

Well, it’s been a good run. Probably a pretty good time for it, TBH.

elderyoda

Or like in another 2,000 years

PortlandCoug

But it would wipe out like 60% of CB

TNT

Natural selection.

ArcticKat

Time to re-read Jurassic Park

You live near a giant underground volcano: natural selection.

What would you know.

You could be the new CB Overlord

Maybe if it holds out a few more weeks and builds up even more pressure, that number could be increased to 85%

foofcoug

Or in two weeks we flatten the curve. We just dont know.

Ron Mexico

And even after that

Well. It’s been fun. Any bishops free for a few confessions?

I’ll send you my Venmo and give you some indulgences

CB Bishops, Catholic Bishops, or LDS Bishops?

Does a devastating Yellowstone eruption favor Trump or Harris election?

Lucky! Wish I was there.

Back up Terry!

That’s pretty wild, petting a buffalo may be safer than walking the boardwalk.

Where are the CB servers physically located?

Japan Coug

Jul 23, 1:27pm

Cheesecake Factory mostly

SingleStrapBackpack

Jul 23, 1:28pm

No. The dome would start rebuilding before an explosion.

PhilPete

Jul 23, 1:27pm

Can you explain the sequence for us non-geologists?

UNLVcougar

Jul 23, 1:33pm

Yes, please expound

I knew it would explode the second BYU basketball started being awesome

Reasonable1

Jul 23, 1:38pm

Why am I suddenly craving Betos?

BYUtka

Jul 23, 1:38pm

Of course it will - just in time to thwart our run to the final four!

Rocketman

Jul 23, 1:38pm

That does seem to align with BYU fan luck

The best place to be would be right by it when the whole thing explodes.

N8Dawg

I'd rather be on the other side of the world, but that's just me.

Japan Coug

Jul 23, 2:10pm

You would still suffer greatly on the other side of the world, just slower death

N8Dawg

Jul 23, 2:28pm

I'd like to think that I could survive

Japan Coug

Jul 23, 3:22pm

If it blows up, Utah will be covered with one inch of ash, wow.

cougarmeister

Jul 23, 2:15pm

Ashtrash was named appropriately

TNT

Jul 23, 2:28pm

There was a lot of ash in other states when Mt. Saint Helens exploded in Washing

BYUBandfan

Jul 23, 2:34pm

Yeah, I lived in Montana and we got maybe 1/8 - 1/4 inch of ash.

cougarmeister

Jul 23, 2:35pm

One major eruption of the Yellowstone Hotspot deposited an ash and pumice layer

If it helps my lawn and garden, let it snow

Have you been to Yellowstone? People record every moment of their time there.
