tf is this concrete shit just use some goddamn sandpaper to sand the fuckin mountain flat duh you motherfuckers is dumb af fr

finally, a sensible solution
As a politician I can assure you that if you vote for me I will put into law that volcanoes will be forbidden to erupt in our wonderful country.
And as a different politician I can assure you that if you vote for me I will fight for the freedom of volcanoes to erupt whenever and wherever they want. In fact, I promise a volcano in every household and quicksand in every sandbox.
Cause this is America. Where land has more rights than people voting.
The former president of the Philippines said that he will urinate on the volcano that was threatening to erupt. Lol
So... Just turn a blank round into a live bullet...
Maybe we can fire it at the planet that keeps sending those asteroids that nearly hit us.
Why yes, I would like to know more.
Excellent analogy, but now I want the math. Think we could push this past the gravity well? Fuck space elevator, I got ejecto-volcano cuz.
I would imagine very small section might be able to? I know one of jupiters moons has geysers that shoot water into space and out of orbit.
Dude just tape a cease and desist letter on the volcano. And if they still don't listen just get the cops to shoot it.
you must be American
That lava already has to break through literal kilometres of rock to get there. A few hundred (let’s be generous) extra meters of pourable rock ain’t gonna do shit.
I think we can still work with the spirit of the solution. The main issue is that the lava will break the concrete. The solution is pretty simple. If we take some buckets of water we can pour it into the volcano creating a layer of obsidian. Obsidian is much harder and will easily contain the magma.
Minecraft logic
What you mean? Cement stronk!
Not to mention the average normal size of an opening you’d have to plug to begin with. Even if it didn’t just drain down the hole or dissolve the moment it got to lava, it would be a ludicrous amount of concrete just to make a layer a few feet thick. Even if you did manage to make a plug a hundred or more feet deep and it didn’t melt or move, an eruption would likely just blow the mountain apart from around it.
All you'd need is ultra fast drying lava-proof concrete. I'm surprised no one has thought of that yet. Then once the crater vent is fully plugged you would just need to coat the rest of the mountain in the same concrete. Voila, problem solved.
Just keep adding concrete until it works
I saw people on YouTube pour the cement directly into a hole they were filling. Should make it even quicker to not have to add water it can just mix with the molten rock.
Fools. You need to put ice in first so the concrete doesnt melt.
Even more foolish fool. Just dump water down the volcano. The lava source blocks turn to obsidian and are completely harmless.
Better yet - use helicopters to drop chunks of icebergs into the volcano to extinguish it.
Keep fuckin around and you're gonna end up in a Republican cabinet one day.
I think this could actually be someone impersonating a famous mountain on Twitter, however, the account is verified with a Blue Checkmark, so this must be the real Mt. St. Helens then.
But how could this be possible?
Well now you have a very large cannon
Meh, the pressure will do the ball the way into space I bet.
We should launch rockets like this, would save on fuel.
I feel like we need to talk about how much heavy metal rocks.
Just going to need 14 trillion bags of cement from ACME
Would concrete even hold. I mean lava is molten rock and cement is kind of a rock. So wouldn't the cement melt before pressure could build up?
Most cements melt at a higher temperature than most lava gets to, so it would be solid chunks of cement getting blasted miles out when the pressure builds high enough to erupt
Yes. That's the joke.
Even if the plug would hold the volcano would just split open another hole in the earth and erupt from there
I feel like when the volcano does explode it's just gonna launch that concrete plug like popping a pimple.
Tens of thousands of tons of rapidly fragmenting concrete being launched into the upper atmosphere - cos what a major volcanic eruption needs is extra shrapnel
Nobody going to mention that we have a sentient mountain with internet access? Wtf
Big problems require big solutions.
Let's test this theory on your colon...
