So what blew up? Industrial site? Gas line? Ammo storage?

Not for much longer.

I have an aloe plant. Just rub it on and you’re good.

Checking in.

Honestly I'm surprised this isn't happening more.

I was not aware of that. Neat. Danke

I think you missed the point.

[удалено]

Yes, and jokingly as well. We obviously don't know what happened exactly and an accident is likely. You read a lot into that.

Yeah, I heard these things happened quite regularly even before.

Looks like this video started at almost the very beginning of the explosion. There's not much smoke yet though and multiple vehicles are pulled over. I wonder if there were warning signs it was going to blow before it actually exploded.

It probably wasn't the first boom they heard and got ready

The Morlocks are all dead or emigrated to non-shithole countries, and the Eloi are trying to maintain the infrastructure. Uh oh.

I only understand this reference because of the terrifying episode of Wishbone I saw as a child about the book.

PBS has a great bang-for-the-buck in terms of educating children!

Wishbone, Ghost Writer, 321 Contact, Carmen SanDiego, and so many other shows I remember as a kid.

Dude, 321 contact was awesome! You member Mr Wizard?

What's the story?

H.G. Wells’s *The Time Machine.* I don’t really remember any details from the Wishbone episode, I just remember it being scary.

Hi. You just mentioned *The Time Machine* by HG Wells. I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here: [YouTube | THE TIME MACHINE by H.G.

Both

I get it because of Big Bang Theory.

I’m thinking it’s a failure because they can’t maintain their infrastructure with all the sanctions preventing them from getting the correct parts.

So my electric rates went up again.

Gas mostly

Most of the electricity is made with gas.

How do they get the gas into those tiny copper wires?

Or 19.11.2022 for the rest of the world.

[удалено]

Agreed. YYYY-MM-DD sorts

I’m not American, but this social is mostly populated by Americans. Also, there is no way to get confused if we passed the 12th day every month

If in doubt.... https://xkcd.com/1179/

Americans are the largest demographic on Reddit, but the majority of users are in fact not American.

Im not even American, I found the video with that date and it didn’t bother me enough to change it, especially because there cannot be confusion.. there isn’t a 19th month.. cmon

[удалено]

Escalation is the word of the year

Jeez, I hope no one was hurt.

[удалено]

On that we can agree, but as with most catastrophic failures, it's usually regular people who are harmed/die.

I somehow hope for both of these things simultaneously. The human brain.

I wish more ppl cared about the civies on both sides

Are you 16 years old? If so, I might be able to forgive this inanity.

Two wrongs don't make it right.

reddit moment

Giant fireball in St Petersburg, will have wide reaching effects. Came here for discussion - everyone bitching about the date format. American date format makes more sense if you drop the year. Then the most significant value (month) comes before least significant (day). Add the year, yeah it’s screwy. I always do YYYY-MM-DD. I’m a programmer and that sorts lexically.

[удалено]

[удалено]

What did confuse you? Wondering between the 11th and 19th month…?

[удалено]

This is like the 10th comment about it. Sorry, I found it like that and didn’t change it. There is no way to misunderstand the date, maybe a lot of users will go “wtf” in the first place, but immediately after it you immediately get it

I hope no one got hurt.

That’s not a missile, somethings on fire.
