Because one does not simply walk into Mordor, this is a video of hikers ascending Mt Doom and getting pelted with red-hot lava rocks as the volcano actively erupts. You think this was right after Frodo disposed of the One Ring? At least the dog was smart enough to get

This is a clip from a livestream of the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines (the country’s most active volcano) that captured a meteor speeding by behind the active eruption. How about that! But are we SURE it was a meteor? Because MAYBE– “It’s not Frodo trying to throw the One

This is some drone footage from filmmaker Devon Massyn of the underwater volcano Kavachi in the Solomon Islands erupting. It’s pretty wild. And the sound! The volcanic activity heats and expands nearby water so quickly it’s the equivalent of a hot tub full of water instantly expanding to the size

Things start off small enough with the number of letters in the English alphabet (26) and first generation Pokemon (151), but quickly get out of hand from there.
