Damn you’re right. Can’t believe two separate women have fallen at such heights and lived

The scariest disasters are known as mass extinction events. There have been 5 in the history of the earth. These disasters add numerous species to the extinction list
The last one was 66 million years ago and killed 75% of all species. The gap between these events has been as short as 20 million years and as long as 130 million years
The scariest of these events is an asteroid collision. Hard to detect, can happen out of nowhere, and absolutely devastates the earth including very extended environment changes

The strength of water is almost incomprehensible
Even seeing it live is almost unbelievable
I think it’s also why people won’t respect even a mild wave when they should

Well yeah, being schizophrenic does not make you more likely to murder someone. It’s a huge misconception
