Okay, What. The. Hell. Happened?!?

A group of experienced Russian hikers disappeared on a skiing trip. Their camp was discovered with tents ripped open from the inside, bodies half dressed (in winter, in Russia) and stained orange and with massive internal injuries that could not have been caused by other humans—as if they had been in a car crash. The final verdict was that the hikers died of a “compelling natural force.” Never has something so vague been so terrifying.

A supervolcano is a volcano that can cause a “supereruption” big enough to cause an “extinction event.” The people who aren’t killed by lava will die when all the ash in the air blocks the sun and causes everyone to freeze death.

Next time you swim in open water imagine this cephalopod buddy cozying up to your legs. Not only is it huge and yucky looking, the colossal squid has rotating blades all over its body. That is just egregiously horrifying.
