Best we can do is keep making them President.

Volcanoes offer a very quick death. Your lungs calcificy rapidly during your descent, meaning if the drop doesn't kill you (heart attack/shock), youre still dying quickly and relatively painlessly (as this all happens in a matter of seconds). If you get past that point, the magma itself will basically disintegrate your ability to feel on contact.

So it's almost a reward compared to slower methods, you could say. Not making a point. Just sharing some info.

I propose Blót. Hanged speared then we feast, but not on the corpse that's for Odin.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Thoroughly macabre. I love it!

How is Blót pronounced? Haven't come across this term before

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's a pretty old term so it technically has three different pronunciations bloot like blood, blot like to to blot out the sun, and blut like blunt without the n. Though you'd have to ask someone who is a bit more familiar with medieval Germanic languages.

Very interesting. I'll have to look more into this when I have the time. Thanks for sharing what you know!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Cant remember the name of the particular story but there's actually a myth centered around a Blót where basically a war chief is destined by the Norns to be sacrificed. They try to trick the gods and it goes bad for him.

What about a Temple of Doom cage style rotisserie?

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It makes the volcano spirits super happy though

Fair and valid
