[@righthandoftyr947]

There's some truth to that. A significant portion of the instability in the middle east is the legacy of the Sykes-Picot agreement. After WWI the UK and France didn't want to middle east to just unite into a new Ottoman empire, so they intentionally gerrymandered the new map to split the ethnic groups up across multiple countries and each country has multiple ethnic groups vying for control. It's a recipe for infighting and chaos, and it probably isn't going to get fixed in the long term until some borders get redrawn and maybe a country or two disappears.

Hi! Volcano nerd here! The volcano you're referring to is named Campi Fleigrei, which is Italian for Burning Fields. It is a large volcano, but it doesn't quite meet the "super" qualification. additionally, it is connected to vesuvius via deeper magma supply system, but the actual magma chambers that power eruptions are not the same chamber. Just as HLC has missile tism, i have volcano tism, so time for a high speed crash course. large volcanoes tend to form what are called Calderas. these form when so much material is ejected from the chamber at depth that the void left behind drags the ground down to fill it, creating a big hole. Like a *really* angry sinkhole. now obviously it takes pretty large eruptions for this to occur, but not as large as you might think. In the volcanology world, we have a scale called the Volcanic Explostivity Index, abbreviated VEI. each level is 10x larger than the last, and it goes 0-8, though some people give certain eruptions a 9 that is not an official part of the scale. Mt. St. Helens was a VEI 5. A 5 is equivilant to 1-10 cubic kilometers of material that was ejected explosively. Supervolcano, though the term is hated by the scientific community, generally refer to volcano that has hit VEI8, that is 1,000 cubic kilometers to our math averse friends. The list of active volcanoes that have done this is surprisingly long, but Campi Fleigrei isn't in the club. In the Naples region there are 3 active volcanoes, all of which have formed calderas. Of them, Vesivius is both the smallest and the most famous (generally smaller volcanoes recieve magma just as fast as the really big ones, it just comes out as more eruptions instead of larger ones.) The second, Ischia, is an island at far side of the gulf. it has gone caldera, and could do so again eventually, but isn't ready yet. it's eruption won't be as large as what campi can unleash, but tsunamis are, well, terrifying. Campi Fleigrei lies between these two and is the big boy. it has 2 largest eruptions 2 its name, though multiple "smaller" caldera forming eruptions from collapsing smaller, more transient magma bodies. the 2 largest were a higher end vei6, and a vei7. most smaller calderas in its history were a higher 5 or a low 6. Now, normally I hate going for fear mongering, but in this case i really have to emphasize this point. This volcano is ready for a full collapse, that is to say one of its large eruptions. Multiple large cities are in the way, and its large caldera forming eruptions are exceptionally violent, even in the class of eruptions this size. It's magma chamber is about 95% molten (think of a magma chamber more like a sponge than a big cavern), and the generally excepted melt percentage required for eruption is around 35%. There is more than enough melt down there to hit the VEI 7 threshold. Additionally, and now i'm going to get more in the weeds purely because I enjoy doing so, the last eruption of Campi formed a relatively small cone named Monte Nuovo (pretty sure that's literally just new mountain, great naming guys), formed in the 1850s. Based on the chemistry of the magma, we know that it lines up basically directly to what this volcano has done in its past immediately before going caldera. Immediately after the eruption of Monte Nuovo, another magma intrusion occurred. See, lowering pressure on things tends to also lower the melting point, which in this case now means more rock is above the melting point and therefore liquid. it also allows more gas to stop being dissolved raising the pressure back up. important to know that this process will initially overcompensate, causing a sharp pressure spike. this nearly caused a second eruption that would, most likely, have been the big one. it stalled (thankfully). That said, this volcano is absolutely still recieving a lot of magma, and the ground keeps lifting because of it. this unrest will, most likely, lead to another eruption, possibly in our lifetimes. Stalling is still a plausible outcome, but it's no longer safe to assume it's the outcome we're going to encounter, *and* we must now assume that any eruption it unleashes will be the big one. with this in mind, several very large cities are in harms way, the death toll would be several million, of not tens of millions, if proper and extensive evacuations are not undertaken the instant the run-up to an eruption is detected. It is, without question, one of the two most terrifying volcanoes on the planet. The other is Iwo Jima, or Ioto as it's named now. Yes, *that* Iwo Jima. It is also a vei 7 capable volcano that is quite at risk of pulling its next big one in our lifetimes (though it probably just pulled its monte nuovo, so maybe more likely next generation or two), and its main hazard would be positively wrecking japan with giant tsunami. Okay, so that wasn't actually a fast crash course. I'm autistic *and* adhd, cut me some slack. thanks for reading though if you managed to get through all that!

It never fails. I always drop what I'm doing the moment your videos drop. Love ya HLC.❤❤❤

I feel hlc is more historically correct than schools now days 😅

[@Gillymonster18]

Not saying anything against HLC, but that’s not a very high bar.

[@teresakirkland995]

School should take a page out of HLC handbook for sure. No narrative to fit in for predicted outcomes. Just tell kids the truth for once I promise you they can handle it as well as formulate their own ideas for making things better. Kinda hard to do when they are told sugar coated edited versions of events always painting their world with rainbows and puppy dogs. When they learn the truth later they end up with fuck the patriarchy ideals and who can blame them? We should work harder to set them up for success not coddle them from the evil world. If they already expect things not to be perfect they are more apt to work for a better way…..just my thoughts on things We don’t give our kids enough credit They are capable of far more than they are allowed

Keep it up. Just keeps getting better. God bless America and all of us.

@@crimsonmaelstrom573 I can see it now. When my brain gets the initial caffeine injection... it goes full ADHD mode and runs faster than it can actually process incoming info.

[@colewest7096]

@AshaGrenetal Dangit. I got about halfway through a full parody of that one before I got to the part where the ghost riders/raptors are on the other side of the protagonist. I was heavily mocking migs and their pilots until that point, and then realized I'd need to change the positions around to show off how bad ass our raptors would be instead. Might still do that later, honestly. It's late here though, and I'm clearly tired.

Heads up hlc. You are the sole reason why I am now trying to become a Pilot force the USAF or USN

[@davidgoodnow269]

Read up about Katz Dieter.

[@Kingofredeyes]

You know, as soon as you mentioned orcas being one of the smartest creatures I couldn't help but remember it's HLC lore that Franklin broke into the CIA building and captured all sorts of secrets that led to him being put with the kid. And then I remembered that the CIA was run by the federal government, making the achievement much less impressive, so fair point.

You know I could just imagine an F-22 in black with flame vinals on the fuselage and a skull and two crossed sythes on the tail...huh not a bad idea.

[@robertf3479]

HLC ... you're only just now learning about the Campi Flegrei super volcano? The thing includes the Phlegraean Fields west of Naples and Mount Vesuvius itself. One of the principal caldera is just outside of downtown Naples. The damned thing sleeps very lightly and WHEN it finally goes a good portion of the Mediterranean coast of Italy will go with it.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Yeah it's pretty much Europe's Yellowstone and if it wakes up it's going to be a bad time.

[@leroyjenkins3580]

Buff on the loose is probably more frightening than uncaging the raptor

Thank you for more than 5 lots of laughs and giggles, as well as news not in my other sources - I lost track of the number partway through while distracted by your content. 🎉

[@MJ-kc8iz]

Ghost Raptor, I think you can take the super volcano, but... as an aside... I like that Franklin only speaks racoon. As an oracle, he should be cryptic and mysterious. I hope he doesn't change. I too will stay in the hanger, ummm, house... today, just in case. (That has nothing to do with the insanity of black friday weekend, I assure you.)

[@zacsmallwood7738]

I'm waiting for the day one of the branches somewhere has the idea of having an Orca as a mascot or named after something. That would be epic. 😂 Can't wait to see more of Ghost Raptor!! 😂😂😂

[@Salvador_but_he_plays_gd]

Slight Misconception, The Super Volcano in Italy and Mt Vesuvius are two separate systems, they however have the same origin source, they are both part of the Campanian volcanic arc, also, its not going to erupt anytime soon, its undergoing a more active stage of its usual activity cycle, it will likely be decades to even centuries before the next eruption, and even then its next eruption will likely be pretty small

[@etherealswordsman3214]

Actually, the sad news is it's quite possible it erupts in our life time, and all signs point to one of the next handful of eruptions being the big one for it. I don't think i can link them here, but I do have the scientific papers to back it up.

[@internet_entity2930]

The orca casually saying “like overthrow the patriarchy” was the best thing I didn’t know I needed. Caught me so off guard
