Spread The Viralist



https://shop.kurzgesagt.org/

We have a bunch of new stuff, from the long requested bacteriophage infographic poster to a new Optimistic Nihilism poster that lets you enjoy some existential dread in style. Or join us in our ant obsession and get the new Ant Explorer Notebook, with beautiful infographics and facts about ants and gold lettering on the cover. If you’d rather update your wardrobe, have a look at our beanies or T Shirts. Or you know, all the other stuff!
We put a lot of love and care into developing our products and only make stuff we want to have ourselves – if you want to support kurzgesagt, getting some merch is the best way to do it while receiving something beautiful in return. Thank you for your support and thank you for watching.

The sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity.

How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?

  2. Ha, depends what we call Civilization. Do we include humans? You folks tell of plastic waste in Challenger Deep; add wanton Amazon-jungle destruction, hunan-caused heat dome and mega-flood crises, anti-vaxx idiocy, the USA Big Lie and mass shootings galore, China running amok, Canadian scandals in both senior-home Covid death rampages and unmarked First Nations graves by thousand-plus – with the culpable Catholic Church refusing to apologize… not much civilized to be seen.

  3. It’s really awesome in all sense of the word how this is even happening . Everything has to happen perfectly in order for us to live. Here is the thing , how lucky can we be ? How long can we be lucky ? Lately we are getting allot of activity from solar phase 25 and there have been massive CMEs coming off the back of the sun, most of which would kill us all . We just had one that hasn’t hit us yet , but things are about to get interesting . Be prepared my friends .

  4. This guy actually believes in the Big Bang? WTF- a lot of people know it’s not real. Plus, if it was real, how did human blood, seeds, and other stuff form then? Huh?

    ! This is just my opinion and explanation. If you disagree then just ignore it other than you-know-what !
