Catching on fire is weirdly absent here
post
Black holes and the sun dying in five billion years are missing here.
Along with falling anvils and actual sticks of dynamite.
I've seen quicksand happen at the beach now twice. It's crazier when you realize it's not a thing, and then it's a thing again. The one person called the park people because they thought it should be cordoned off, but conditions have to be just right.
Learning about buoyancy in relation to quicksand is a helluva thing. You panic thinking you're going to sink and drown but then you stop not even half way and realize it's just more annoying mud but at the beach.
Learning about the Bermuda Triangle when I should have been learning about the Strait of Hormuz 😭
killer bees
I never realized how close the triangle was to the US
I was never able to figure out what “made” the triangle! I just knew that Bermuda was part of it. Internet didn’t exist back then, so you just kinda moved on when you couldnt find your answer; or pick 2 other places that look good enough and call it a day! Today, seeing this post, finally solved a question from my childhood! 😆
Pool drain is also missing here.
Replace the Loch Ness Monster with whirlpools and 6 year old me would be in shambles lol
My mom once told me we have pull the roots of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonatum Out because it's a pest plant that grows everywhere.
Naturally I concluded that humanity is involved in an global war against this plant, over who owns this planet and all our lives are at long term risk of losing that war

I know it's the loch Ness monster but at first glance I thought it was a swan, told they would break your arm so dont piss them off
killer bees and the ozone layer
the ozone layer could be a problem again in the future if old appliances that contain cfcs aren't handled carefully when disposed of...
https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/25/11469/2025/
or if people start emitting cfcs again...
And cliffs! Sheer cliffs seem to be much less geologically common than my childhood led me to believe.
Fallout?
