The Stromboli volcano in Sicily just erupted (UP: one dead, see threadmark)
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
There's a hundred tourists on the island that are being evacuated, but the rest of the people far from the island is quite safe. Actually they say you can stay on the isle if you're not bothered lol.
Honestly all things considered this is probably the most likely way that humanity ends - one day you'll be reading resetera and see what you think is a mundane thread about a volcano you've never heard of erupting, and the next day you'll be choking to death on ash
When this
or this
erupt, then yeah, we're really fucking fucked
Without the volcano, the island wouldn't exist. Without the island, the food wouldn't exist.
Actually, I'm sure the food would exist and be called something else, but whatever!
Going to be in Sicily in two months; was actually wondering about this volcano erupting just the other day.

Do you guys realize that Stromboli the food is an American dish that was probably named after the island (or movie...) and the thread title is pretty accurate. I can't see how you can read Volcano erupted and think about food....
Nobody's saying the thread title's inaccurate...
And the reason people think about food is because most Americans would have heard of Stromboli the food instead of Stromboli the volcano.
Most Americans wouldn't be able to find the Stromboli on a menu anyhow.
The stromboli isn't in part of the island of sicily, it's in stromboli island.I went up the mountain at night and it was very pretty.
Ah yeah those guys aren't friendly normal volcanoes.
Isn't Yellowstone becoming more and more active?
Lol at people not knowing the Stromboli is a famous volcano in Sicily. You can never be too surprised.
It's so famous they even used the name for a certain style of eruption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strombolian_eruption
I had no idea. The vast majority of us Americans have likely never heard of the island, volcano, or movie. Meanwhile, the food Stromboli is everywhere.
I'm "into" volcanos and follow them more than the average person and the only two volcanos I knew of in Italy were Vesuvius and Mt. Etna. Go figure! I admittedly don't know much about European volcanos as you guys are far from the ring of fire
If it's a volcano that can end humanity, you're either going to hear about it immediately, or you'll die in the blast.
