About this listen
You ever wake up and think, “Today I really want to learn about something absolutely useless?” Well, you’re in luck, because I have scrolled through the digital underbelly of the news cycle just for you—and let me tell you, today’s bizarre nugget comes sizzling fresh from nature’s unpredictable kitchen.
Picture this: Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, already known as the world’s most active volcano, decided the 9-to-5 grind didn’t have enough flair. So on Wednesday, it erupted for nine hours straight, sending lava shooting a casual 1,200 feet into the air. Yes, you heard that right. Twelve. Hundred. Feet. That’s higher than any giraffe has ever dreamed of standing, and certainly more impressive than my last attempt at a pancake flip. And you know officials at the U.S. Geological Survey weren’t just watching—it’s their Super Bowl. I bet there’s a secret contest for who can find the best lava analogy. “That’s not a fountain, Bob, that’s nature’s own soda stream—if your soda was a thousand degrees and could melt your face off.”
Now, you might think this matters to your daily routine, but unless you have a deep, personal relationship with hot rocks or you’re a helicopter pilot with a thing for molten selfies, it really doesn’t. Scientists call it an “incredible show of force and nature,” but let’s be honest, it’s really just the earth letting off some steam—literally—because being a planet is stressful and even geology needs therapy.
Meanwhile, tourists nearby probably expected a tropical paradise, not a front-row seat to a real-life episode of “Earth’s Got Talent: Extreme Edition.” While some people get room upgrades, these folks got to spend 24 hours trapped in the same outfit, without their bags, in the glow of lava fireworks. I’m picturing a lot of tropical shirts, unbrushed teeth, and a sudden appreciation for volcano insurance. It’s the kind of story you can only tell if you survive, and if you do, you get to forever win arguments about bad travel experiences. “You missed your flight? Cute. I dodged lava.”
Of course, while molten rock was busy stealing the show, somewhere a bagel shop in Los Angeles was experiencing its own bizarre twist, but let’s stick with the volcano for now—it’s hard to compete with a thousand-degree photo op, even if your schmear is on fire.
So, next time you think your day is erupting out of control, just remember Kilauea. It’s nature’s way of reminding us that no matter how weird your week gets, somewhere out there
