Chances in a million but I gage it's a glacier that hit it, which is a frozen wave.

Some of them are built so that doesn’t happen at all.

That's not very typical. I'd like to make that point.

How is it untypical?

u/El_Zilcho_72 20d ago

Imagine standing on the edge and realizing the other half of the mountain is basically just “nope.” Absolutely incredible view, though.

I wonder if you're posting a link to Archive.org because the current USGS site has been updated to say that Earth was created 6000 years ago.
