+usssanjacinto1 I've lived in the Mojave Desert all my life and only just recently discovered deathclaws (not irl though).

[@retho4160]

***** They are from a game. Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. They are giant monsters that kill your character if you aren't careful.

Travelling at night from LA to Nevada, stopping at dusk in Barstow while the hot wind blowing seems capable of burning your skin. Priceless.

[@cecar77]

One of the harshest environments, yet one of the most beautiful

[@nub9688]

I'm asking myself how the hell the Native Americans survived that type of environment for millennias. I guess if there's water, there's life.

Bull and Bear over the Dam, at each other's throats... but a light from Vegas? Ball spinning on the wheel, more than two at the table. Placing bets. All lose in different ways. A dam of corpses, towns of corpses, scattered across the sand. But whose in what shares? Even the dealer doesn't know. Forecast: A rain of blood will flood the desert and not purify it.

[@Joe_334]

There is an endangered species of tortoises, in the Majove desert, especially in an area a few miles from Death Valley. The mountains were beautiful, There were often shooting stars, out at night. The climate is dry, and it just so happened to rain in that desert, for only one day that I was there.

[@charliedallachie3539]

Used to live there in southern CA in the 90s. You could fry an egg on your cars hood. 120 wasn’t uncommon in the summer. The Mojave is big though, Death Valley specifically there was the German family that totally vanished there.

[@williamc2678]

I’ve lived near Joshua tree all my life and no joke there are always tourists walking around death valley

[@basportsfan325]

I was just thinking about my time at fort irwin and i had to type up the Mojave desert on youtube to check it out. When i went to the desert we were constantly doing training. All my fellow soldiers could not stop bitching about the desert and kept complaining that California sucks and how they thought the whole state looked like this. I on the other hand was dissapointed how i had lived in California for 19 years,and had to join the army to get put in a desert for 3 months to find the true beauty of something that was only about 6 hours away from me. The days were amazing watching the sun hit the brown desert, i saw giant cliffs wondering if they had eyes what all they had seen its whole life, at night on patrol hearing the coyotes call each other and gazing at the beautiful stars. Needless to say at the end of the 3 months a lot of my comrades were bitching how they had to go to Irwin, I couldent shut up about how awesome the place was. So thank you great Mojave you truly left your mark on me.

[@ericrenquist6494]

The desert is an awesome place

I live in the Mojave desert Palmdale it gets really cold in the winter! It’s nice the deserts around are beautiful

[@Toomuchbullshitt]

@@stebmex depends on where you are. Higher elevations are colder and can snow while lower parts can still be very warm during the winter.

[@stebmex]

@@Toomuchbullshitt it’s cold in the winter in lancaster and palmdale it snows here and there but it can get in the single digits sometimes if it doesn’t snow but it has warm days too

[@GoreTorn16]

You wish! Dry heat above 115 will zap the energy out of you as well. Owning a pool is a privilege but temps above 120 is nearly unbearable. It can also get humid during monsoons.

@TheKmk173 in that case...dont quit your day job

[@unorthodoxJ]

@finch6789 You need to calm down My comment was a joke and I thought the exaggeration that this is an atheist chat room was obvious to be joking as well but apparently not I had nothing to say about the content so I chose instead to make what I felt to be an amusing comment on the title and quote from the video. Apparently people enjoyed the joke If I wanted to shove my views I'd attack specifics and go into some deep analysis, also I'm confused with the Satanist portion

first post

[@unorthodoxJ]

@finch6789 Judging by the amount of positive feedback the comment has received, along with a correlation between education and a lack of religious belief (which I assume that most people subscribed to a channel such as this are indeed educated), this practically is an atheist chat room. Besides National Geographic features things on religion all the time. Hell their cover story a month or two ago was about the polygamy religion down in New Mexico. So yes my comment is relevant to the channel

My Proposition: Dig a long ditch like tunnel about a 500 feet wide from the Mojave Desert to the Pacific Ocean. There is no drought just lazyness. In the next 4 years this plan better have action and government funding in order to prevent famine in California Nevada and Arizona beyond.
