A reddit thread supposedly debunking the IDF's Oct 7 "mass Hannibal" friendly fire response is now a top google result if you search "oct 7 mass hannibal".

old. reddit. com/r/IsraelPalestine/ comments/1fcmh39/ there_was_no_mass_hannibal_on_october_7th/

claims include:

  • (in comments) that Israeli air force colonel Nof Erez, who described Oct 7 as a "mass hannibal," was fired in July 2023 and did not take part in fighting on Oct 7
    • So far I haven't found any evidence for this but I haven't scoured the internet
  • that most Israeli deaths occurred deeper in Israeli territory, while most Hannibal deaths are implied to have been on the border
    • They have a map of the supposed locations of deaths. The github does not give a paper trail for the data, as far as I can tell
    • I'm also not convinced that the "mass Hannibal" account emphatically puts deaths elsewhere

there are other claims but I'll post this edit now, I'm still reading

Is there any evidence that the pagers mostly belonged to Hezbollah?

Sometimes I think about new life refilling the earth millions of years from now, like the dinosaurs after the Permian extinction. It sucks to witness a mass extinction but in the long timeline it’s only an instant. Just happens to be an instant my entire life fits inside of

I recently learned a really weird piece of evidence geologists apparently look at: heavy oxygen trapped in rocks. Turns out water with oxygen18 is slower to evaporate than water with the lighter oxygen16, which apparently means that rocks absorb oxygen18 water more readily than oxygen16 water, and therefore landmasses tend to accumulate oxygen18 leaving less in the seas... which means, when geologists find really old sea floor rocks full of oxygen18, it suggests that there was a lot more oxygen18 in the seas back then, which suggests that there was very little dry land to absorb oxygen18, meaning ancient earth might have been a water world, which is what we see in the start of the video.

*which also has obvious implications for the origins of life, as the article mentions—none of Darwin's "warm little ponds"

Mostly by looking at patterns across continents. For example the Appalachian mountains and Scottish highlands were once part of the same mountain range. Geologists were able to figure that out by closely examining those mountain ranges. With enough patterns like that you can start to reconstruct the plate movement.

the second time I actually started writing down dates and events to create a timeline

You should consider sharing this some time!

Do they know each other better than they know you? Is there something they all share in common that you don't? Is there an age gap? Seniority gap? Do they all go to the same church? Have they clocked your politics? Are you new to the area? Are they a clique? Some groups of people just won't talk to you unless you are socially relevant to them or unusually charismatic. If you're neither of those things it can be hard to break in.
