Taylor Swift Fans Cause Seismic Activity Comparable to Small Earthquake at Seattle Eras Tour Shows - Lemmy.world

I don’t want this community to have celebrity news in it
It’s science news that happens to involve a celebrity.

It’s celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.

This community doesn’t need that kind of garbage, there’s plenty of it on reddit

So you’re saying it’s not news to you that a rock concert could cause an earthquake? Because it’s sure as hell news to me. Does it matter who was playing at the concert?
It didn’t cause an earthquake. Did you not read your own article?

Did they say it did? They said could.

And if it registers high enough on the Rochester scale, what else would we call it when it reaches high enough?

But it can’t. Earthquakes are caused by the earth’s plates shifting. Unless Taylor Swift can move tectonic plates, it’s not an earthquake.

We would call it what they called it. Seismic activity.

Taylor Swift isn’t going to shake buildings and crack pavement.

Words can have more than one definition… you’re looking at what constitutes a Natural Disaster Earthquake, there’s also just the definition, earthquake….

And yes, seismic activity l absolutely can shake buildings and crack pavement… you’re now contradicting yourself?

She didn’t cause an earthquake. I can’t believe I’m having this discussion. Fucking ridiculous.

She didn’t, she caused seismic activity, that when high enough on the Richter scale would constitute an earthquake.

You tried correcting someone and were wrong mate, this is entirely on you lmfao. If you can’t take it, don’t fucking dish it you mook.

So you’re saying it’s not news to you that a rock concert could cause an earthquake?

This is what I responded to. A rock concert CANNOT cause a fucking earthquake. Which is exactly what I said.

Go touch come grass kid.

But it can…? Not a natural disaster like you’re claiming, but again, words have more than one definition sometimes…

You need to go read a book apparently lmfao.

It can’t. Seismic activities are caused by anything from earthquakes to volcanoes to rushing water.

Are you trying to say that rushing water is an active earthquake? If not, then a rock concert is not one either.

Seismic waves are a means of MEASURING earthquakes. Just like three measure volcanoes and rivers. They don’t cause them.

Some idiot had a concert that was loud and now everyone is saying Taylor Swift caused an earthquake or could cause an earthquake.

Taylor Swift is NOT moving tectonic plates. She just had a loud concert.

From Britannia on the definition of earthquake.

earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.”

People jumping up and down, fit that definition, and they actually specify that it’s not “just” masses of rock (tectonic plates)

TYL, you are welcome, go read some books and “touch grass”.

We’re done here. I cannot explain it any further or better. She didn’t cause an earthquake. She cannot cause an earthquake.

Go find a way to un-hurt your butt about this, but I’m done with you.

Also. She fucking sucks.

You can’t explain it, because you’re wrong…

Go argue with Britannia or something, they clearly state it’s not just ectopic movement like you claimed, what do you have to say about that mook?
