The Nov 12-13 Leonids meteor shower of 1833, which was said to have been measured in excess of 100,000 meteors viewed per hour (about 27+ per second). This obviously was profound to basically everyone alive at the time who could see it (it wasn’t visible in Europe), and honestly it just sounds cool. I wanna see the insane space fireworks!
Ooh, what about one of the supernovas:
SN 1006 (The Brightest)
- Date: April 1006
- Brightness: Reached a magnitude two or three times brighter than Venus, casting shadows on Earth.
SN 1054 (The Crab Nebula Creator)
- Date: July 1054
- Brightness: Visible in broad daylight for 23 days and stayed glowing in the night sky for nearly two years.
Watching the whole Artimis mission this year made me think back and imagine how following the Apollo 13 rescue would have been like
After watching a video about this last week I would pick man first arriving in Australia. the animals that existed there way back then make the stuff that’s in Australia today look tame. I just want to see the faces on these early humans when they realize how fucked they are. Giant Komodo Dragons, Giant Koalas, Giant Snakes, a damn Crocodile that could run on land. It’s amazing any of them survived.
Apparently, indigenous people have passed down the story for generations that when Captain Cook first set foot on their soil, he fell on his arse. I’d like to see that.
The Kool Aid event
Children’s crusade
The dancing plague
Anything that involves mass psychosis
we got midterm elections nov 3rd in the US
If you weren’t already aware there’s a 45 minute audio recording of the Flavor Aid event. It’s easy to find online. It’s on YouTube and in Apple Music. The internet is weird.
🤩🤩🤩
I read the wiki page about the event a few months ago, and it says that most people weren’t in psychosis. They knew they were about to kill themselves, they rehearsed the mass suicide regularly. (Though they never knew before starting if it will be the real thing this time.) Also many were forced on gunpoint, several outright shot when they refused to comply. It was mostly just tragic :(
If you don’t want to read tragedy, do not read history
OG Woodstock easily
Giza’s construction
Dinosaur’s and theirbextinction. Was it a meteorite? Did volcanoes erupt? Etc. from the theory confirmed :)
Oh that’s easy - the Zanclean flood.
What is now the Mediterranean sea used to be a land mass full of grass fields. A few million years ago, the Strait of Gibraltar gave way and hundreds of millions of cubic feet of water poured in. It’s debated how long it took to fill up the Mediterranean. Could’ve been weeks, could’ve been decades. But for whatever period it was, it’d be nuts to sit there and watch it all unfold.
Imagine the noise
Literally any White Stripes concert.
I’d hang out with Leonardo Da Vinci in his studio.
Do I have to actually know what it is? I’d want to see the peak of the first human civilization.
The day the music died.
RIP Mozart
Woodstock
Boston Molasses Incident.
Ima pass on that traumatic horror-fest. In the top 5 ways I do NOT want to go out resides drowning in fucking molasses. So I definitely don’t need to see it happening to other people.
The actual, living person that was Jesus Christ, performing one of his reported miracles. I’m leaning towards him walking on water or multiplying the bread and fish.
