What's everyone's take on

The Birds and fish dying everywhere?

Started in Arkansas we have reports in New Zea land,
Brazil, St.Lawrence River. Every it's happening.

What are the possible scenario's that could be taking place?

Maybe the external world doesn't have any independent reality, and this isn't happening at all. Birds aren't dropping out of the sky dead.

My mind is simply fabricating stories of this occurring in order to perplex and entertain me, because it knows how boring life is getting.

Seriously guys. This is Biblical-grade.
> Numbers 11.
The Israelites are walking around in the desert without any food, because Moses and God told them to walk around in the desert and didn't give them any food. So the Israelites, blasphemously not wanting to starve to death, beg for food to eat so they don't die. This pisses God off, so what does he do?
> Numbers 11:31
> A wind sent by Yahweh started blowing from the sea, bringing quails which it deposited near the camp. They lay for a distance of a day's journey in each direction, two cubits thick on the ground.
That's right, quails. A day's journey is about sixty miles. Two cubits is about thirty-six inches. The density of bird meat is about 0.59g/cm³. So. How much quails is that? That is 6.426 CUBIC MILES of dead quails, weighing seventeen and a half BILLION TONS, amounting to ONE FIFTH of the TOTAL BIOMASS of the Earth.

And now it's happening again. This is obviously proof of Yahweh and the world will end on May 11, 2011, after it happens five times killing off the entire biomass of the Earth.

lol no And the density of meat is a terrible approximation of whole birds stacked. But it's still a huge number.

>> No.2303106

>>2303085
Typical human walking speed is 2.5mi/h. 24 of those is 60 miles. If we assume you're going faster than a casual walk because say 17.5 billion tons of quail are dropping from the sky, you can even make up for the time you spend stopped to eat lunch. I couldn't find a figure for the density of a whole quail, but since it says they're stacked two cubits deep we can assume they're pressed pretty solid. Carcasses have pretty good packing efficiency. Find me a better figure for the density of a whole quail and I'll use it instead.

These are fairly naive figures, open to correction. I don't think they actually walked for twenty-four hours straight, no, but riding on camels that move somewhat faster than human walking speed, in a train several miles long since there were supposedly enough Israelites for God to kill hundreds of thousands of them off casually, and probably mixing it up a bit between a regular marching pace which would be faster and taking breaks to eat and sleep which would be slower. I don't know how to possibly figure such a thing, so I went with a straight naive literal. How far do you think The Bible means when it says a day's journey? I'll calculate how many cubic miles of birds it should be.
