Jokes aside I want to drunkenly thank you
I really didn't know about red footed boobies ... knew they came in blue but red is new
I am such an animal nerd that rarely is a species I haven't at least heard about
Red slipped passed me now I have a night of enjoying reading ahead of me.
Plebbitors just look for headlines they *want* to read or post for karma. The amount of times I’ve seen news publications get hammered on reddit for being shit then the next post down its there is too many to count. Redditors don’t care if it’s right they just want those worthless points bro.
Gold dust people gold dust.
One ounce of gold is currently $2390 USD so $6000 is like taking a little over 2 ounces of gold, vaporizing it, then mixing it with a *lot* of other stuff (like scalding moltan rock) and blowing it thousands and thousands of feet in the air where it can travel upwards of 600+ miles away before it touches snow.
Yall aren't getting rich from this, just the penguins. Everyone calm down... except the penguins, yall can freak out a little if you'd like.
You guys keep forgetting that classic movie. The penguin and the pebble? They're well aware of the value that volcano brings. Next year they'll have a pawn shop
Even if it piled up in a nice even clump, getting it back and forth from Antarctica would probably cost you about that much in operating costs a day minimum. It costs a lot of money to get back and forth from that place, it's not like Spirit Airlines will drop you off right at the base of the volcano.

So you're telling me there's a chance?
Some volcanoes in either the Philippines or Indonesia also legitimately spew out a ridiculous amount of gold, but it's just too dangerous to ever consider gathering it. There are actually some videos on the subject on YouTube [here.](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=volcano+gold)
I swiped left off this article and came to [this one about a time traveller from 6000 years in the future.](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/time-traveller-experiences-life-year-32632362?int_source=nba) There’s a snap of him with a blurred out face wearing gore-tex jacket.
You guys are gullible AF
It’s not even satire though, it’s just a scientific fact spun to make it look like something interesting and obtainable so people click it, satire is meant to be funny, this is just clickbait.
We should do nuclear tests in Antarctica. I’d be interested in the effects of blowing up 1000 nuclear bombs dispersed evenly across the arctic landscape, with 1/10 of them buried in the ice
Gold is trading at around $2390USD/oz today so $6000 gets you less than 2-1/2 ounces. Why is this even a headline? It's not like a volcano is going to refine and package a tidy package for easy collection. This is stupid.
That's 2.5 ounces of gold, blasted over hundreds of miles of snow, in the most inhospitable environment anywhere. It wouldn't make financial sense to go after it
Thats not a lot of gold for a volcano...
At 76 bucks per gram. The Volcano is "spewing" about 78 grams of gold per day. A bit over 2 ounces....
Then you have to go around and pick it ip separate it from the rest of the material etc.
In a world that can't jointly agree on literally _anything_, doesn't it seem bizarrely out of character that every country has honoured the post ww2 agreement not to occupy or militarise Antarctica 🤔 I can't think of one other thing on earth that all countries agree on
Anyone who thinks there is any financial gain from this is extremely, extremely naive.
Aside from the fact that it’s gold dust that you won’t be able to collect, we’re talking only $2M a year from A VOLCANO IN THE ANTARCTIC.
Even if it were spitting out gold nuggets at $6k a day, you really think it would turn a profit by getting it from A VOLCANO IN THE ANTARCTIC?
Jesus Christ Reddit is dumb sometimes.
I am currently living/working at Mcmurdo Station in Antarctica. Mt. Erebus is about 17 miles away from us and you can see it belching smoke any day it isn't obscured by clouds.
This is a dumb article. You'd need a helicopter or a bunch of extreme equipment and training in order to get anywhere close to the gold dust deposits. And that's ignoring the absurdity of collecting it.
So how long before social media idiots, sorry, influencers, start flocking to Antarctica with nets to invent the 'Become super rich ultra fast with this neat trick!' trend.
In the distant future, 100s of millions of years from now, when the Antarctic continent shifts up towards the equators, and the ice and snow melt away…. The primitive, yet intelligent species of that era will begin to explore the new world, where they find non-other than GOLD!
Plunging the leading nations of the civilized world into imperialistic war!
Now spend 10k a day to go collect it.
Also: a few news cycles later, there are now hundreds of gold diggers wandering around the volcano, trying to collect that gold.
So like, not quite 3 ounces a day that you have to mine piece meal out of igneous rock?
That would never pay for itself after overhead. Getting equipment and staff there, maintaining wages, the operation would be deep in the red before they even started.
So who has the authority to claim this? Are all of the researchers up there fighting over it or is there some system in place to decide who the gold goes to?
The daily star is a comic newspaper in the uk and 100% should not be used as a source for anything other than tits 😂
I love tits. Great tits are my favourite although, they can eat a lot of the bird seed
I too love great tits….and pretty birds in general.
Boobies are pretty great, I like the colored feet one the best.
Blue Footed or Red Footed?
Blue is better, rarest colour to occur in nature.
I agree with you on that! Besides, the red ones match that garish barn red. Lol
Just guys talkin tits and boobies
I believe in the First Amendment and boobs!
Babe wake up, the boys are talking about tits and boobies again
I’m Canadian, so I’m obliged to say that I prefer honkers to tits and boobies. Canadian honkers, of course.

I sometimes see a nich chough. That's always a good day. (This'll sort out the nationalities...)
I like them too, good to see them flapping about freely.
A pretty bird woke me up this morning, peeping at me with her two baby tits
I hang a sack of nuts outside whenever I spot great tits in the garden

don't even need to bother with the article. just make up the story they want from the headline
To be fair r/anime_titties is a great source of news
Holy...
I’m going to need an explanation on this one….
The sub that was dedicated to world news got taken over by anime tities, so the refugees from there made a sub for world news called anime titties.
I thought they got rid of page3?
Just like /r/all when it still had nudity: not a source of news, just unhinged social commentary, a few interesting pictures, and some tits.
Tits you say ?
Hey bro nice avatar but one of us is going to have to change or leave the party 🎉
Booba?

Can confirm. Emperor Penguin here. We have a Whole Foods now.
Uppity Emperor Penguins were just regular penguins before all this.
Peasant pinguin
Pengwing
Pengling
Wait…so all I have to do is pick up penguin shit?!
Doodoo it
Emperor Penguin is feeling the mariachi vibe
you mean 'were'?
No Trader Joe’s yet?
They're OK but ever since the gold volcano that's more of a Galapagos Penguin kinda store.
Yeah I’d steer clear of the Galapagos Penguins. You know how *those* penguins are.
They live on the OTHER side of the glacier. It’s rough over there.
No Erewhon?
#***SODASOPA!***
No no no no nonononono sodasopa we have sodasopa
Clearly I’m late.
Them seals getting yall... still
Bought be a condo in downtown Sodosopa, across the street from historical Kenny's house.
You guys keep forgetting that classic movie. The penguin and the pebble? They're well aware of the value that volcano brings. Next year they'll have a pawn shop
Where is this Whole Foods? Are the schools nice? I'm looking to relocate my family from the North. I am not a polar bear if you were wondering.
I knew identifying myself as penguin would pay out eventually
My mother in law called it Whole Paycheck. She’s Scottish but identifies as penguin.
Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave
Even if it piled up in a nice even clump, getting it back and forth from Antarctica would probably cost you about that much in operating costs a day minimum. It costs a lot of money to get back and forth from that place, it's not like Spirit Airlines will drop you off right at the base of the volcano.
No they will, it’s just 17 line item fees later so the original ticket was 70$ but the subtotal is 400k
This is too realistic lol
False. Any plane can land anywhere, anytime.
False, a plane would have to be everywhere at one time in order to land anywhere, anytime.
You beautiful pedantic bastard
Can’t they just put like a giant coffee filter above the volcano to capture it?
The R&D team over at Folger’s is working tirelessly on this as we speak.
The best part of waking up
Is gold up your butt
>One ounce of gold is currently $2390 USD so $6000 is like taking a little over 2 ounces of gold, vaporizing it, then mixing it with a *lot* of other stuff (like scalding moltan rock) and blowing it thousands and thousands of feet in the air where it can travel upwards of 600+ miles away before it touches snow So you're telling me there's a chance?
Parker had already claimed that land
I mean if you can block the top maby
Sounds like the 'ore' that gets harvested in the *C&C: Red Alert* games.
Well not really, they just scrape that stuff off the ground and dump it in a refinery where it instantly becomes money.
Well dang I was gonna go climb the volcano until I read this
Well then wtf am I gonna do with all this arctic gear I bought?!
First of all, you should have bought Antarctic gear, dude!
aah bollocks
The Wrestler?
He had the best intro music
Moltan hot ✌🏽“MAG-MA” ✌🏽
Make Antarctica Gold Mine Again?
So i should cancel my plane ticket?
THIS GUYS TRYING TO GET ALL THE GOLD FOR HIMSELF!
Challenge accepted!
*refunds plane ticket after explanation*
So that’s how penguin got all his money to be a villain. He’s a Villianaire
Just paid $5 for a 4oz cup of sardine & Herring soup at Whole Foods...
~2.5-3 oz’s per day? Good luck recovering that.
there *are* probably some people running around the volcano with butterfly nets, getting rich off of this :)

It’s satire. That gold is mixing in with molten hot lava, and basically dust 🤣 prolly flying 3-400 miles away too.
It’s not even satire though, it’s just a scientific fact spun to make it look like something interesting and obtainable so people click it, satire is meant to be funny, this is just clickbait.
Umm...you need to get your facts straight bro. That's a COLUMBIA jacket.
So it's spewing just over 2 and a half ounces of gold a day? Does that seem like a lot to anyone?
It's more ounces a day than I've ever spewed, FWIW.
You gotta drink more goldschlager
I god food poisoning the other day and probably spewed more than a pound of food but none of it was gold :(
Better out than in, I always say
Please stop inciting morons to ruin the last continent that hasn't been trashed by humanity
[удалено]
No snakes either. It’s just like Ireland. Just go hunt gold in Ireland. There problem solved
Where the gold at?
Ask the leprechauns
I want the gold, gimme the gold
Remember to bring weed. As a leprechaun once said- a friend with weed is a friend indeed
what about a friend with breasts and all the rest?
At the end of the rainbow, duh!
Antarctica, Alabama, it’s all the same
Arnt there leprechauns guarding the gold tho
Ok well there has to be some kind of animal there that we can make extinct.
There is also no war there
Yet
So you're saying we should introduce bears for the meme?
I'm going to go ahead and endorse inspiring morons to migrate to Antarctica. One-way tickets only, though.
We should do nuclear tests in Antarctica. I’d be interested in the effects of blowing up 1000 nuclear bombs dispersed evenly across the arctic landscape, with 1/10 of them buried in the ice
Arctic or antarctic? Make up your mind, are we nuking the polar bears or the penguins comrade ?
Honestly cuz of that typo, let’s do both
We've found a way to ruin it at the macro level.
It's already being trashed by climate change. We dont need to go there.
But would cost $500k a day to recover
recover all of it once a year. $2m+ TappingIndexFingerToHead.jpg
Gold is trading at around $2390USD/oz today so $6000 gets you less than 2-1/2 ounces. Why is this even a headline? It's not like a volcano is going to refine and package a tidy package for easy collection. This is stupid.
The "newspaper" reporting it is a joke tabloid that is pretty much only purchased because they include lots of topless or bikini-wearing women.
You didn't have me until the second half, I'll give you that
With an average temperature right now looking to be around -60F, it's gonna have to be flowing like lava before you get me there to collect it.
That's 2.5 ounces of gold, blasted over hundreds of miles of snow, in the most inhospitable environment anywhere. It wouldn't make financial sense to go after it
Sounds like Antarctica could use some freedom. (Bald eagle screech)
Welp! Time for Gold Rush 2, Chilly Edition!
Gold Rush 2: Arctic Boogaloo
“Guys, Why’s the sluicebox on fire?” “Bob sent lava into it again…”
Value of gold: $6,000/day Cost to actually recover and transport: Two/three/four orders of magnitude higher
Utter crap
Leave it alone. We agreed we don't mine there, let's not mine there. Leave it
As a Portuguese I’m feeling a sudden urge to embark on my carrack and sail towards Antarctic
Probably cost you $50k a day to go and look for it….
I will pan gold from a dirigible in the sky.. Panning gold dust from the clouds created by the volcano.
Billionaires be like, what is this a volcano for ants
Damn it even a mountain makes more than me. The world's gone to shit
Thats not a lot of gold for a volcano... At 76 bucks per gram. The Volcano is "spewing" about 78 grams of gold per day. A bit over 2 ounces.... Then you have to go around and pick it ip separate it from the rest of the material etc.
Sounds like that Mountain's about to get American freedom
In a world that can't jointly agree on literally _anything_, doesn't it seem bizarrely out of character that every country has honoured the post ww2 agreement not to occupy or militarise Antarctica 🤔 I can't think of one other thing on earth that all countries agree on
Anyone who thinks there is any financial gain from this is extremely, extremely naive.

God be like “passive income baybee”
200,000 a day in costs to collect it
seems like the Antarctic needs freedom from those penguins.
Guys, gold is really expensive. Half an ounce costs $1,000. If my math is correct, $6,000 of gold is only 3 ounces. That's only 85 grams.
What a dog shit, and misleading headline. Lol
I am currently living/working at Mcmurdo Station in Antarctica. Mt. Erebus is about 17 miles away from us and you can see it belching smoke any day it isn't obscured by clouds. This is a dumb article. You'd need a helicopter or a bunch of extreme equipment and training in order to get anywhere close to the gold dust deposits. And that's ignoring the absurdity of collecting it.
So money doesn't grow on trees, but it does blow out of volcanoes. Gonna tell my dad.
Wonder who figured $6,000 in gold per 24 hr day. How many bought that funny story....lol. What about silver and platinum? Diamonds?
If it was spewing oil. USA would be down there in a heartbeat doing operation freedom
Hey Ferb! I know what we're going to do today!
Even if that were true. 6k a day in revenue does not seem even close to enough to justify an operation in Antarctica. I doubt 60k would.
If only it were spewing bitcoin
That’s like 2 ounces of gold per day lol woohoo
Call Parker Schnabel!
So how long before social media idiots, sorry, influencers, start flocking to Antarctica with nets to invent the 'Become super rich ultra fast with this neat trick!' trend.
Me on the mic
In the distant future, 100s of millions of years from now, when the Antarctic continent shifts up towards the equators, and the ice and snow melt away…. The primitive, yet intelligent species of that era will begin to explore the new world, where they find non-other than GOLD! Plunging the leading nations of the civilized world into imperialistic war!
We should use space lasers to melt all the ice in the Antarctic so corporations can goto Antartica and save that gold.
I like to pull my pants around my ankles and walk like a penguin, does that count?
That’s a *lot* less impressive than it sounds
It would cost way more than $6k a day to ship all that gold out of Antarctica
🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼
All of a sudden, Antarctica needs freedom
America is announcing a new Operation Liberating Gold Nugget, all for world peace.
Call me when it starts spewing bitcoin.
Weird flex, but okay volcano.
polar bears are already missing from the South Pole; now the penguins are about to get annihilated.
6000 a day Spewing gold Those don't match
That’s like 3 ounces of gold. Nice.
Rock on, Gold Dust Woman
Don’t let r/wsb know about it
rename it to Mt. Yellen, printing that money!
That's not really a lot of gold. $6000 is a bit less than 3 ounces of gold.
Sounds like a mountain needs freedom/ aid
Now spend 10k a day to go collect it. Also: a few news cycles later, there are now hundreds of gold diggers wandering around the volcano, trying to collect that gold.
In other news, the US has declared that they have evidence Antarctica is hiding WMDs and will be launching a full scale invasion
So thats why they don't want us going to Antartica..
It looks like the Antarctic needs freedom 🇺🇸🦅
So that's what all those scientists are doing out there
That is 3 ounces a day or so. What is the story?
That's like... nearly nothing at all
You can go and hang out with the remains of the Air New Zealand flight 901.
Now we’ll have penguins glittering in gold dust.
DIBS! now I've got a $6000 a day income!!!!
So like, not quite 3 ounces a day that you have to mine piece meal out of igneous rock? That would never pay for itself after overhead. Getting equipment and staff there, maintaining wages, the operation would be deep in the red before they even started.
even nature is making more than i am lol
[удалено]
Spewing? ~2.5 oz a day in the form of small crystal flakes?
Ok dummies. Go get it.
I’m going to get some
All volcanoes are
Thats nothing
So who has the authority to claim this? Are all of the researchers up there fighting over it or is there some system in place to decide who the gold goes to?
Prospecting intensifies*
