Hmmm, it does possibly happen tho...

So I was right after all. Shock horror.

Among the scientific community, the evidence shows that no rapid shifts in the pole have occurred during the last 200 million years.[2] True polar wander is known to occur, but only at rates of 1° per million years or less.[3] The last rapid shift in the poles may have occurred 800 million years ago,[4] when the supercontinent Rodinia still existed. This hypothesis is almost always discussed in the context of Earth, but other bodies in the Solar System may have experienced axial reorientation during their existences

No.

No.

Still happened.

I was under the impression that the poles reversed quite frequently and it was a natural thing?

no.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

no.

Already stated that if the world is 4billion years old, 800k is recent in history.

 

[snoogit]

either way it's never a bad idea to invest in a nice scattergun

especially if you can get a hold of a working blunderbuss.

your post said "800 million years ago"

thats 1/5th the earth's history!

I think they're arguing the use of the word frequently.

I'm willing to bet the 1940's amount to the decade from Hell

I'd say the late 1800s to early 1900s were far worse.

Back then there were no trade unions, no employee protections, no food safety, nothing. If you died at work, then it was "hire in that guy off the street to replace him"

Wages were a joke, its amazing there wasn't more rebellion in the US at that time.

800k is not 800 million.

Oh right, fair play. I couldn't give a fuck, all I began by saying is that I vaguely remembered some clever guy saying that it had happened before and was perfectly normal. Seems that my memory isn't that bad afterall.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

800k is not 800 million.

Sry, dbzeag said 800k, that's where I got my figure from.

 

[my little brony]

Yes, I was born in 2001.

I dunno, maybe Bosnian/Kosovo war, Iraq v.01, tons of flooding, AIDS epidemic reaching epic proportions in the 80's, ABBA.

bosnia/kosovo and iraq were awesome wars! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You would say that, you dirty squaddie

 

[Jonny_B]

the world is not going to end.

unless it does, in which case there's absolutely nothing you can do to avoid dying.

stop worrying about things that are either inevitable or nonexistent.

 

[Sarcasmo]

I'm becoming an astronaut specifically to avoid this cataclysm. I don't have long to train and acquire an off-world assignment though, so I better get started.

goddamn right! shit got blowed the fuck up!

Oh, but good that came out of the blackout.
