Russia's hybrid war with the West comes to mind. The invasion of Ukraine has turned out that way too, although it was intended to be a quick resource grab.
This really can't happen, but most of the consequences would probably be volcanic at that size. The sudden pressure from a lump thicker than the Earth's crust would cause earthquakes and probably set off volcanoes.
Lots of people would die from the chaos and likely ensuing volcanic winter, but we'd mostly get by. If there's anything valuable in it like a mountain of platinum, conflicts over its resources could be more deadly than the impact.
Shut down the greed, and the religious extremism will mysteriously fade away with it. Zealots are useful idiots for certain types of powerful bastard, and they are often led by scammers anyway. Churches that want to meddle in politics are easily corrupted.
It's fine. Some people think it's gross, but it's harmless. I swim the red sea regularly. The worst thing that has ever happened was that I looked like I killed someone with my dick, but I think it's funny
You'd stay about the same, unless the gas you emit was substantially lighter or heavier than air. Methane should be lighter than air off the top of my head, but it's not the only gas in the mix, so it's hard to say without in-depth knowledge of the composition of farts, the subject's diet, and ambient air temperature too, since the fart is gonna be at body temp but the atmosphere won't.
You're operating under the assumption that Russia is winning now. Even with the USA trying not to fulfill its obligations to Ukraine as an ally, Russia is taking massive losses for minuscule gains and their economy is starting to fall apart.
I thought Ukraine was going to go under quickly at first, but quickly changed my mind when they didn't. I don't know the future, but I don't think Russia is going to succeed in total invasion.
Halo 1 on PC. 1v1 deathmatch, Blood Gulch, snipers only, no shields. My opponent was using an aimbot. I beat him 25-17.
It was before microphones were common, so he had to type to shit-talk, and he was much slower than me, but had a lot to say. I got a lot of kills by baiting him into rage. I got a few kills by throwing grenades around corners. But a good amount of them were just from out-aiming his aimbot. Lag was different back then. There were tricks and quirks to keep in mind.
He banned me from his server after the match, and when I returned under a different name, he had started banning people who chatted too much. Kek.
Maybe they just realize having kids is hard.
