The Worst Year in History to Be Alive

If we had not formed settlements, become agrarian and raised our own livestock, we would not have made it through these extreme events. Once we went from hunter-gatherer to settlements, populations boomed and lifespans increased.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -

Just re-reading the whole thread and need to object.
From the article in my OP:
The effects of these eruptions can also be seen in tree rings discovered by archaeologists from this period. They show significantly reduced growth — a clear sign of extreme climatic conditions. For societies that relied largely on agriculture and livestock farming, this was a catastrophe. Communities that lived predominantly as
hunter-gatherers, proved to be significantly more resilient
, as a study of tribes from Estonia has shown. -

I would rather talk about the series called Red Alert that depicts the brutal attack made by Hamas on Israeli Civilians.

Yah, it's too much for you.
Go ahead, Stevey!
This is the right thread for you
to express your true thoughts after your antisemitic statements.

Come here. (love10)
Thanks for the love10, Stevey.
You should only do that in the right situation.
Unless you want to sing soprano in your choir.

Ur a dude? Is that what ur saying?
Or that you would kick me in the nuts if I tried to hug you
I've no idea why you thought that I could be a man; a man would break your nose.
A kick in the eggs
is a popular female defense tactic.
As said, depends on the situation…Schatzi. -

Well, let's get something straight. For the record. If a Man tries to break my nose I would put him in the hospital.

If you interprete his body language right beforehand.
I often experienced that many
'foreigners'
misinterpreted a smile of a Northener. Then it was too late…except I was able to intervene.
Drinking an ugly tasting north-beer with a stupid woman can avoid much violence.

I remember reading about this. A lot of people thought it was silly for George R.R. Martin to have his Westeros world have years-long seasons, but perhaps he got the inspiration from this; a winter during the early Middle Ages that lasted almost 10 years!
However, unlike Westeros, you showed that this was not due to our planet's seasons being dictated by magic, but by an unusual event of a volcano going off and spewing ash into the atmosphere instead. And this isn't the only time volcanoes have done that.
When Krakatoa went off in 1883, it caused "The Year Without a Summer" event. Or we had a volcano go off in the south Pacific in 2022 that caused a very wet winter and a really hot summer the following year. Honestly, the worst polluters on planet earth are volcanoes.

Sorry to disappoint you:- George R.R. Martin neither invented dragons nor disaster; he had many 'sources'.
- The earth bubbles just again; vulcanoes aren't
'guilty'
but symptoms.

I never said he invented dragons or natural disasters. Read my post again.
When I was reading his books and watching the show, I merely thought the years-long seasons were a unique idea he had to show the world of Westeros was different from our own, because it doesn't follow the laws of physics like a spherical planet orbiting a sun and rotating all at once would do.
Our earth is not alive below the crust. Magma, gases, and hot water (depending on the eruption) are usually do to the internal forces of our planet, not due to emotions or other strange things people attribute this dirt ball to. -

Sorry, you're a very young…err…member here.
All what's described is to find in old legends and myths.
And I agree, it's not emotions it's motion.
But I still don't watch the Earth as a
"dirt ball"
.
The main question for me (as for many others) is:
Who created God? -
NightmareValkyrie — 5 months ago(October 19, 2025 03:11 AM)
Well…technically it's a ball of rock with both liquid and solid rock inside, and a biosphere on the outer crust.
That last question has been asked by countless people for eons. Nobody's been able to answer it so far, and 42 has not proved adequate. -

Yah yah, that "42" sounds fishy sophisticated.
