    I like the way there’s a police car there, in case people were thinking they might just go for it anyway

      Imagine this would happen in the US! The police would have shot the lava!

      EDIT: For the Downvoters: Of course they would have shot the lava. Have you seen it? Its black!

        Today, someone jumped over the construction barriers on an escalator that was under construction. They fell into the open hole in the escalator, got seriously hurt, and then had the audacity to complain to metro police officers that there was a hole in the escalator for some reason. The police had the grace to not admonish him for being a moron. Both ends were blocked with construction barriers ~4.5 feet high by 3.5 feet deep, and the elevator was right by them, lol. It was very difficult for someone to even vault over in the first place.

          I mean, my first thought was “i wonder if you could drive across that.” But I’m also smart enough to not be the first person to try… maybe the second though

    Tone-deaf bosses be like, “actually we have a return to office mandate… We’re gonna need a note from your doctor.”

      “I don’t understand why turnover is so high. Ever since COVID people just don’t have any work ethic. The lockdowns really destroyed our economy in irreparable ways. Wait no, don’t quit.”

        The “people don’t want to work anymore” rallying cry has always confused me. Who ever wanted to work in the first place?

    Mother nature is scary AF

    Do you dig it out or just go over top with new road it’s gotta be pretty effed up underneath all that, before chiseling through it and clearing it off, and where do you go with the slag if you do dig it out? Do you treat it like snow?

      A bunch of my co-workers are situated in Iceland and, you joke, but they have had to leave the office twice because of risk of lava in about a year.

      Which seems like a startlingly high number
