"Door to Hell" starting to close after 54 years
there's no disputing a ~100-foot-deep (~30-m), 226-foot-wide (69-m) pit of relentless fiery fury that's been burning for around 50 years in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan

Wtf that's the craziest part of this story!
Oh yeah, extremophiles are pretty metal. Like, some of them can survive being in space.
Some are literally metal. See: Chrysomallon squamiferum: a deep-sea extremophile mollusk that lives on volcanic vents in the Indian Ocean. They have a shell made of iron sulphide and aragonite. Their lower body also has an armor coat of sclerites (fancy word for "hardened body part of invertebrates", like pieces of an exoskeleton) made of mineralized iron, giving them their colloquial name "Scaly-Foot Snail"
Which side of the door are we on?
Are we inside hell? Or outside hell?
“Hell is other people”, so I’m guessing we’re on the inside.
If the door is open, does it matter?
it will matter when it's gone...
There is no door, wait, no,... there might be.
It’s too late! The bowels of hell have already been emptied, the demons walk among us…

I had no idea ඞ existed
it's unrelated burmese script
the character represented by chr(sum(range(ord(min(str(not())))))) is way cooler
Rip and tear
I needs to get me a BFG9000!
What's the power level of them big fuckin' guns, anyway..?
They need 4 D cell batteries, so big power levels.
HELL IS FULL
BLOOD IS FUEL
BABA IS YOU

You know things are shit in the world when even hell wants nothing to do with it...
Davoth: "Pack it up boys. Unleashing our full fury would actually be an improvement."
How many billionaires do you think can fit down there?
We won't know until we try
Only because it’s now empty and all the devils are here
So I guess they want it to close. They’re draining the methane from elsewhere
Hope so. Burning the methane to CO2 is a lot better than releasing it as is for the climate.
isn't this like stranger things season 5 spoilers
maybe things will start to get better 🤷
No, this is Hell trying to keep us out.
Buffy has entered the chat.
I don't know, it really feels like it's starting to open faster.
