I suddenly had family and friends warning me about a tsunami here in the PNW last night. Haven’t heard of any flooding or anything so far.
Still, I’m grateful that at least for now we have warning systems in place.
She said she took the wave out back to the gravel pit
Hot conspiracy take:
This was a man made earthquake orchestrated by Russia to destabilise the west.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk
An explosion or explosions enough to set off a fault would be quite noticeable. A nuke has radiation that would quickly be sensed. And just predicting fault movement is still fairly impossible much less knowing how to cause fault movement.
You wouldn’t detect any radiation if they detonated nukes near an underwater faultline. Water blocks radiation really well. They would notice it via seismic sensors since earthquakes look different than nukes when it comes to seismic waves.
Oh… You’d notice it pretty quick when all the radioactive remnants from the bomb are vaporized into fine dust and spread out into the ocean in a constantly spreading plume.
I bet people would notice real quick.
Edit: autocorrect had turned “vaporized” into “baptized”, that made for a real confusing sentence… 🙄
Stop continental drift!
I get it. It’s funny. The sad thing is somewhere, some poor soul is believing that.
I know this is probably a joke, but yeah, I don’t buy it. I’ve been keeping an eye on earthquake maps and that region in Russia has been experiencing a ton of small quakes over the last few weeks leading up to this event. It’s also right on a fault line. If Russia somehow caused it, it wouldn’t be from a nuke as those can be detected even underground. It was very likely just an earthquake.
That’s what you get for being funny on Lemmy! This is a serious people only place 🫡
Any conspiracy on how they triggered it?

Nuclear explosion near fault lines?
This was my thoughts exactly
Y’all know you can’t just set off a nuke without people knowing right lol
Shut up and let us collaborate on this conspiracy thriller 😡
sorry boss, pls continue 🕵️♂️
What about a mini nuke?
It would be trivial with the right harmonic frequency. A device anchored into the fault line could send pulses of ULF sound waves into the fault until it starts to resonate. Once that happens all you need to do is up the amplitude a bit and bobs your uncle, earthquakes on demand.

The epicenter is quite close to Russia, I think they would have picked another underwater fault line to nuke if that were the case.
No better way to avoid suspicion.

Ukrainian special forces.
Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.
