They’re gonna go for it.
We’re doomed.

That’s silly they have to dig for it and I get it in pill form.
Sounds like that Volcano needs some freedom!
Can’t wait to see it all turn into molten lithium.
This is our final test in the great filter
The new built in Reddit browser is going great. I can almost read this headline. How people rawdog the internet without an ad blocker is beyond me https://imgur.com/a/kFhvQ9L
No red flags at all, can’t see this one going wrong.
Freeeeeeeeeedommmmmmmmm!
I’m no expert, but I think we should let the supervolcano keep it. Maybe buy itself something nice. And then go back to sleep.
Well, what are we waiting for? Dig that shit up! What’s the worst that could happen?
We should nuke the volcano, then we can get the lithium!
A dragon guarding it’s treasure.
In case no one read the article, the volcano erupted 16 million years ago, and mostly emptied the magma chamber below
Because of the low density and low melting point of the lithium relative to other elements in the magma, there should be concentrated pockets of the now solidified lithium magma close to the surface in deposits called ligma balls

Just drill sideways. Like slanted.
So it’s worth 1.5 Elon Musks. I hate this world.
This is not an active or even possibly active supervolcano. It is an old caldera that was formed over the Yellowstone hotspot, which is now nowhere near the proposed mining site. There could be undesirable environmental impacts, but it doesn’t seem like those include a catastrophic eruption.
Hopefully, they can find a way to extract those clays without poisoning the surrounding environment. I mean, ways do exist, but those ways are, I’m betting, more difficult and expensive than simply digging a big, horrible pit mine there, so what we will get will probably be said pit mine.
Apparently people in this thread think mining will make a volcano go boom
This will surely end well
My precious…
Another giant lithium deposit? How’s that compare to the brine deposit under Arkansas?
I’ve seen this movie on Tubi! The cgi needed work when the blew up Yellowstone.
I say we don’t fuck with the super volcano
This sounds like the plot to a disaster movie
It would be *just like us* to accidentally trigger a super-volcano and kill the world while digging for energy resources.
Discontinue the lithium
No one’s worried about lava. It’s the mole-men danger now with all that empty space.
###do not the lithium supervolcano
Headline 18 years from today: Extinction-Level Event As Lithium Miners Accidentally Trigger Supervolcano Apocalypse!
We should frack it and see what happens.
Go ahead a mine the super volcano…. then say it was Biden that caused the eruption.
Seems like a headline that would display at the start of a post-apocalyptic movie.
