Mecca being a holy site recent iirc

e: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrat_Rahat

quote:

In 1256 CE, a 0.5 km3 (0.12 cu mi) lava flow erupted from six aligned scoria cones, and traveled 23 km (14 mi) to within 4 km (2.5 mi) of the Islamic holy city of Medina; this was its last eruption. There were earlier eruptions, such as in 641 CE, which made finger-like flows to the east of the 1256 CE flow.[2] It is the biggest lava field in Saudi Arabia.[3] Nearby is Al Wahbah crater.

tbf, that is a relatively small flow, it's just in a city which is bad

if MBS falls into a lava flow that would be extremely funny, but it seems a little unlikely

lmao I've been making pickled red onions recently and got tired of not being able to easily get my hands into the 1 quart mason jars that I was using so I switched over to 1 quart deli containers. Wonder how well they hold up to boiling vinegar water being poured into them 🙃

gently caress, sometimes i think about when i was a chef and how we used to wrap basically everything we could in plastic wrap or vacuum sealed it in plastic bags and sometimes sous viding stuff for, poo poo, idfk, overnight? at least 12 hours sometimes. now i try to avoid it as much as possible, but i still use it

something that sticks out in my mind is how people would pour boiling pots of whatever into plastic containers (cambro's) and it would totally gently caress up the container and the cook would just shrug and not give a gently caress when i told them they should wait for poo poo to cool down before pouring it into containers

gently caress knows how much of the boiled off plastic actually got into the food, probably a lot

gently caress the food industry
