Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
"Will world hunger continue into next year?"
"While any magnetic-field flip would still be thousands of years away...". Sneaky sentence right at the end. Sure the last one happened 700,000 years ago, so it is "soon", the but article made it sound like it was happening tomorrow!
Discussing an unstable mountainous area with a geologist once, he made it sound like collapse was imminent, so I asked him when to expect it. "Oh, any day, now - definitely in the next 50,000 years or so..."
Interesting (and possibly related) article about the four yugas in hindu mythology. https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/science-behind-hindu-s-four...
It says {Forbidden}. Any alternative location?
Original link worked for me, fwiw.
I wanted to share one of my favorite sites: https://www.pssurvival.com/ Pole shifts are popular among "preppers" which in my opinion tend to be quite eccentric. However this website is full of great information that we often take for granted.

I have no idea what that site is, but this is the introduction: This is a shift of the earth's crust with respect to the earth's core generated north and south magnetic poles. Earth's magnetic poles are created by the flow of ions in the earth's core and is somewhat closely aligned to be parallel to the axis of rotation. We expect about 90 degree shift of the crust as planet-X passes earth's orbit on its way through…
So the movie 2012 was based on existing daft ideas or did they get those ideas from the movie?
Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
So what I'm hearing is the press should reframe their questions to get the results they intend. "Will world hunger continue into next year?"
