    Oh no, atomic bombs, we all gonna diiiie!

    Why not two volcano eruptions? Or half a solar flare? Oh I see, fear is the point. What do we need to vote for now? Who should we hate? What tax are you going to ram down our throats? Sheez

      I mean, if two volcanoes erupted every second, or we were getting hit by a solar flare every two seconds, those would be pretty significant events also.

      With that said, this measurement system is very stupid. But do you know what is even stupider? Climate denialism.

        I don't deny climate change. I mock media attempts to manipulate sheeple for what they are, cheap shots to scare the shit out of idiots

      That is the "joke" here - you can switch to Hurricane Sandys, Earthquakes, Dynamite or Lightning Bolts at the bottom of the widget.
