We don’t ever have any spontaneous human combustions either. This is bullshit
Maybe all the people who were spontaneous enough to catch fire did so before having children and the gene pool burnt that capability right out of itself
The aura of the Bermuda Triangle and Area 51 have really lost their charm since the introduction of the internet…
Who wants to Naruto run the Bermuda triangle
Everyone who runs like that deserves to drown. This is a good plan.
I remember as a kid having one of those encyclopedias with a bunch of cool illustrations, and it mentioned the Bermuda Triangle. It really scared me! Like wtf why was no-one doing anything about this
Must be the same book I had that also warned me about quick sand.
And killer bees.
And my axeAnd lava flows! I always imagined avoiding lava and quicksand would be a daily occurrence as an adult.So there’s this really neat geological structure up by Mt. St. Helens called Ape Caves. You can hike through lava tubes/caves where lava flowed eons ago. It’s SO COOL. both metaphorically and i think it’s about 40 degrees hamburger inside. there’s maybe three miles of hikeable tunnel? i forget.
I personally can’t stand 40 degrees hamburger… that’s WAAAY too meaty
They probably mean Celsius.
Why does it matter? -40 degrees hamburger is the same in either scale
absolutely and it’s the only thing that makes sense, but it’s a GREAT autocorrect
Crazy misspelling though. Every single letter is wrong, also there’s too many.
Playing Mario Bros. 3 non-stop didn’t help either with that assumption.
I gotta tell ya, the number of times as an adult I’ve been attacked by hammer throwing turtles or an angry sun is too high.
It is. Just metaphorically.
I made it through another workday. You could say I’m an expert at dodging lava and quicksand.
Really proud of you, bud
Ships and planes went from magnetic compasses to GPS?
The Bermuda Triangle a geological phenomenon, there’s a lot of ferrous ore close to the surface and that fucks with magnets and radio signals. But equipment went digital, started using satellites, and is generally more powerful and better shielded now. So I’m assuming it’s less of a problem enough to tough through it, or just no longer a problem at all.
huh, i always thought it had more to do with pirates/privateers and slavery
Fun fact, it’s not just there. That happens near most coastlines. It’s actually more prominent near BC/Washington/Alaska.
Yeah and why doesn’t anyone worry about quicksand anymore?!
Lava is a rare counterexample. It’s way more dangerous than we thought as kids.
Kid, excitedly jumping around the room: “The floor is lava!”
Parent: “You know, Billy, if the floor were really made of lava, jumping from furniture to furniture wouldn’t really help you. The volcanic gases alone would be enough to suffocate you. The heat would be no picnic either. You’d be suffering in agony until your final, searing breath.”
Kid stops jumping and stares emptily off into the distance: “I … I think I’m gonna go play alone in my room now.”
[door shuts]
Continues: “Heh, imagine that, Billy. Just, bursting into flames because the stuff got within mere feet of you. Wow. What a way to go…”
A woman in South Australia recently got stuck in quicksand.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-02/woman-caught-in-glenelg-quicksand-amid-sand-carting/106748818
So you can keep it on your list if things to worry about.
I’m not sure it counts since all of Australia is trying to kill you anyway, but there it is, quicksand still a hazard.
coast of Venezuela is where boats are disappearing nowadays
Oof
Bermuda Triangle was an early creepy pasta.
The aliens living there fixed the bug in their invisibly field that made airplanes crash there. Read the patch notes. SMH.
Because we now use GPS instead of compasses lol.
The Bermuda Triangle is so Analog 20th century. We have better conspiracy theories in the Digital Internet Age.
Better? Conspiracy theories today are dumb as shit. When people had to navigate by the stars, they knew the Earth was round. Now you can show someone a hi-res digital images of the Earth taken from space and they’ll still insist it’s flat.
Sure people believed that carrying bananas on a ship and/or going through the Bermuda triangle was bad luck, but at least there was correlation between these things and ships sinking. They didn’t get the causation right, but there is at least some data there. Now everything is just straight up lies, usually with some kind of racist intent, and most modern conspiracy theories fall apart as soon as you ask “but why would they want to do that?”
The Bermuda triangle only extends to about 20,000 ft in elevation. Most flights in the area know to stay above that level.
Way fewer Cubans navigating it in… less than ideal conditions.
They’ve moved the underwater UFO base to the Catalina islands.
well if that doesn’t explore your glomar i don’t know what will
I’m have to get lost there so I can revive it again eventually!
Cross-posted to aneurism posting? Quick! RAISE BOTH ARMS!
Why would people go to the Bermuda Triangle if they just disappear there?
Wow, lookit this braggart! Satisfied with their life and not passively wishing to disappear.
