November surprise
(lemmy.world)
It's still about 50-50
I am frighteningly okay with this?
Pyroclastic Ash and Debris make a lot of good points, although I'm not sure about their position on climate change.
I think I read something once that the ash cloid would create a nuclear winter that lasted at least two years. Sticking to those 1.5C goals!
Personally, I’ve been on team Hypercane ever since the Portland heat dome made it theoretically possible.
Jesus H christ. 800kmh winds that last for weeks. Nothing to do but just die I guess.
A dust cloud could potentially bring temperatures down for quite a while. Which would be a new problem.
Well, and all the explody, burny part of volcanos, that on top.
It would be refreshing to have new problems to solve.
That's the spirit!
Well, I'm not really sure Pyroclastic Ash and Debris would hit the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the election, since most of the states outside of its campaign range would likely not vote for it. This would push the vote for president to the House, where Pyroclastic Ash and Debris has no members of their party to vote for them, resulting in a Trump victory, with the Senate picking the VP, where I'd assume they'd agree on Pyroclastic Ash and Debris' running mate.
As the Senate is basically tied and VP Harris has to cast the deciding vote, this means that ultimately Harris would choose the next VP?
Different problems superceding entrenched ones can feel like relief.
Sadly it's unlikely to go off anytime soon; people who study this sort of thing say the magma reservoir is not filling.
This sends the election back to the house, resulting in a Trump win. You've probably heard of the "secret plan"? Not so secret now.
Counting the states that are left, I see 16 blue and 8 red. Election going to the House in this scenario would be a Harris win.
Even Yellowstone endorses Kamala.
Watching for all caps meltdown from Trump over ELECTION INTERFERENCE
ERUPTION INTERFERENCE
You have bested me twice this morning. I am here by retiring for a time to focus on myself.
Without you, I would not have had the opportunities. We're in this together. It takes a village.
Turns out the deep state was a magma chamber
i don't remember the us signing the magma carta
This eruption would eliminate three quarters of the map, eliminating a majority of the republican electors' counties and kill all 40 voters responsible for that majority.
Sad to say, there's no Yellowstone supervolcano
Not with that attitude.
There is, but its eruption will be kinda boring.
...volcano eats the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii inherit the Pacific.
Ash/Debris 2024
Personally I think Wyoming is being overly represented in this election, we need to rethink the gerrymandering laws.
One can only hope.
We couldn't be so lucky.

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".
