Mark HThis is reason number one billion to hate <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/clickbait" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clickbait</a> headlines. My phone suggested this today and it's an article warning you not to click "something" if you see it, but not explaining what the "something" is and requiring you to click "this something" instead to find that out. This is not helpful. This is the opposite of helpful. This won't educate people to not carelessly click shit if you have to take a risk by clicking shit first.

Different ThanFirst, this phenomenon (microseismic blip every 26 seconds originating off the coast of West Africa) is super interesting. Second, the article is nicely written. Third, which scientists, exactly, were "stunned?" Was it the one who discovered this in the 1960s? The ones who knew about it and published in the 1980s? The ones who published about it again in 2006? So many stunned scientists.Remembering that reporters almost never write headlines.
