Did y’all know there's a lake in Cameroon called Lake Nyos that literally exploded in 1986? It released a huge cloud of CO₂ that suffocated over 1,700 people and thousands of animals. Like—how does a lake just casually gas an entire village??


Now I'm down a rabbit hole about “limnic eruptions.” Earth is wild. Anyone else into terrifying natural phenomena?
