        I’m sure we could convince conservatives that woke libtards will be triggered if people have blue-asbestos-eating contests

    You joke, but meteorite impacts causing large igneous provinces on the opposite side of the planet might actually be a thing.

    (Uluru and Meteor Crater are provably not an example of this, though, for several reasons: they aren’t antipodes of each other, Uluru is five orders of magnitude older, and the phenomenon I mentioned would’ve been caused by way, way bigger impacts.)

      It’s astounding that one can learn really cool and interesting stuff by posting random nonsense to the shitpost community, lol. Thanks for the link! That was indeed new to me ;)

        There is correlation evidence on Mars too! I don’t think it’s been considered casual at this point, but Atlas Pro has a really cool YouTube video showing a lot of potential examples. The Hawaiian Islands were particularly convincing to me. I’ll try and find the video.

      I read igneous as indigenous and went into that wiki very confused for a moment.

      On the upside it got me there to donate to Wikipedia

      Imagine tossing a rock in the ocean so hard that the ripples converge on the other side of the globe. That’s wild…

      Do they have to be antipodal? If we imagine a clock face overlaid over an image of the earth, if a meteorite strikes vertically (i.e. parallel to the 12-6 line) at 11, could it result in a bulge at 7?

    I just find it remarkably lucky that the Arizona meteorite missed the visitor centre by just a few feet.

      i also find strange big meteorites always land on craters

        It’s all a little too convenient if know what I mean.

    Flat-earthers will lose their minds over this.

    Round-earthers will think this is kinda dumb too.

      My brain struggled a bit with the upside down crater…

        Yeah I didn’t notice it till after I posted, should have flipped that bottom image to make the joke work better.

        I’ve never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.

    TIL there is a big crater near Flagstaff that is privately owned for some reason

    I was disappointed to learn you can’t go into the crater or all the way around

    this also implies the existence of a large dent in the earth’s core and mantle… hmm

    although they aren’t antipodal of each other (at least now in current day) but still … yes…very suspect.

      So just regular structural geology then?

      • Smoogs@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s the fault lines, yes, but think bigger : plate / continental drift.

      The traditional name, Uluru, is what is commonly used in Australia.

      (I’m genuinely not trying to be a dick, I’ve just not heard the British name used in decades)

      • Smoogs@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Its been called by both in Australia. It’s called uluru by First Nations. Important distinction. I’m from Australia too.

    Does anyone know where I can visit the crater of a soft impact meteorite?

    Stupid question but, why isn’t the meteor still there? (Did they move it to area 51? /s)

    • SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      For those curious, they have it (or at least parts of it) on display in the facility you can see.

        Yeah, they were mining chunks of it historically.
