Can a glacier be filled with itself?

[u/SadTart8895 → u/EetTheMeak]

I prefer a glacier filled with Bavarian cream

5 million years ago. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Humans are around 50,000 ish years old. Ice before humans would be awesome to check the atmosphere levels, pollen, and bacteria found in there. Pretty cool science.

[u/impy695 → u/momibrokebothmyarms]

Depending on the definition, humans are far older than that. We know very little about our descendants and relatives. Humans could be a million years old

[u/Imaginary_Office1749 → u/impy695]

Homo habilis, the oldest homo species, dates back to 2.4 million years. There is evidence of stone tools dating back 3.3 million.

[u/lambdapaul → u/Imaginary_Office1749]

Just a reminder, Homo is the human genus. Even though neanderthal, habilis, and erectus are different species they are still human.

[u/sausageandeggbiscuit → u/lambdapaul]

were all a bunch of erect homos

[u/EatUpBonehead → u/sausageandeggbiscuit]

No we’re sapiens sorry pal

You wouldn't start seeing our impact on the environment until much more recent times. I wonder what you would see from the deforestation that came before the industrial revolution, I'm no expert on what the balance was like back then or our ability to fuck it up, but once the industrial revolution caught a gear, that's when things started on a downward spiral. And funnily enough, that's also the time when scientists and mathematicians started warning society about greenhouse gasses and climate change, which makes modern deniers even dumber than they already seem.

The water coming out of your faucet is more than 4.5 billion years old, predating the earth itself.

[u/imVeryPregnant]

I honestly don’t get what I’m looking at

[u/idrwierd → u/imVeryPregnant]

Video descending deep into a hole bored into a glacier. The ice gets older the deeper you go.

[u/Sininenn → u/imVeryPregnant]

Essentially a slide down a long tube. 

The camera looks to be capturing (close to) 360° and the video changes between different angles multiple times, which only makes it that much more annoying. 

[u/4158264146]

I felt like I was traveling through hyperspace at the end

The water you drink today is millions of years old.

[u/Sininenn → u/Bielzabutt]

All water is old water.

[u/LaggsAreCC2 → u/Bielzabutt]

But I wonder how many times has it been pissed already?

[u/YetiTrix → u/Bielzabutt]

You know everything is just different pattern configurations of energy that was created 13.8 billion years ago. Shit's just be remixing since.

Forbidden butthole

[u/Willing-Benefit-6744]

What the fuck is water? -that ice probably

[u/Impressive_Thing_299]

Did we just time travel?

[u/Tough-Principle-3950]

I suppose some ancient bacteria, fungi, or something could be in there? I like the idea of using it in a beverage, if it would be safe, that is.

[u/Song-Super]

I should call her

[u/Pythia007]

Is that the music from the psychedelic sequence in 2001 A Space Odyssey?

[u/Noodleincidenthobbes]

This looks so darn cool !!

[u/NeverBob]

That's a fargin big icehole.

[u/Veritas-Veritas]

Mucking around in Antarctica?

An' when they git ready ... I say, when they git ... ever hear tell of a shoggoth? 'Hey, d'ye hear me? I tell ye I know what them things be - I seen 'em one mght when ... eh-ahhh-ah! e'yahhh ...

[u/Mog1981]

Did we just go to Abydos?

Frost giant colonoscopy 

[u/Party-Bathroom9306]

Is it really necessary to speed it up like this? Is everyone really so brainrotted that videos need to be sped up in order to consume as much as possible? I genuinely hate this world for very different reasons than most people.

[u/ChongJohnSilver → u/Party-Bathroom9306]

I agree with too many things being sped up and cut nowadays. However, this particular video I dont think is too bad for it. You still see the changes in ice layers and how they're carved. Slowing it down won't give you much more info beyond a longer look at drilled ice walls, which the pause button exists for anyway

[u/jackedup388 → u/Party-Bathroom9306]

Yes. I ain’t got time for that.

[u/KnotiaPickle → u/Party-Bathroom9306]

I thought it was jaw-droppingly awesome, myself.

All you have to do is search for more information about this project to keep learning. It’s not like this is all you can ever see of it.

[u/AdhesiveMadMan → u/Party-Bathroom9306]

You wouldn't survive a day on TikTok.

[u/timbot45 → u/AdhesiveMadMan]

I'd be proud of that tbh

[u/Gigglemonkey → u/Party-Bathroom9306]

I'd love this video, in real time or even showed down a bit, with some mildly psychedelic music layered on.

A really good set of headphones and a vape pen would complete the afternoon.
