Filmed within central Myanmar – March 28, 2025 (M7.9 Myanmar Earthquake)
Holy shit, that’s so surreal! The lack of destruction is unsettling to me; to see this much mass being shifted around so quickly, I would expect to see huge plumes of dust and debris or something. But this was… almost gentle. Like a developer just highlighted a group of assets and dragged them all 20 feet to the side.
Did you see the power pole tower thing on the right? No dust, but there’s much more damage than what we can see.

From seeing images like this, I expected a dust cloud too
I had to ask myself if I just saw the entire right half of the screen shift down and when it switched to 2x speed I was shocked that it did.
Thought I was going to see a crack appear on the driveway, that’s what I was watching originally. Then it happened and I was like “What? The driveway stood still and the rest of the Earth just lurched forward?” Holy shitballs
This is what reminds you: we are bugs on this planet.
And very soft and squishy ones at that…
That is equal parts terrifying and cool as fuck!
Hoky FUCK that is crazy
The amount of power on display here is staggering. I don’t even have a way to compare it to anything else. It’s truly terrifying.
“Sorry, your house is now overstepping property lines. You must now destroy it and rebuild it 6 feet to the right”
I wonder how this actually works. Because technically property lines shifted too. And in many places, official property lines are still demarked with some sort of marker on the ground, not by GPS.
I’m pretty jaded to things, thanks to seeing so much shit online. This, however, made my jaw drop. Unbelievably cool to see this.
No thank you to the Earth.
Seriously though kind of wild how simple the whole thing is. Like less dramatic than its portrayal by Hollywood by a long shot.
Less dramatic and a lot more terrifying
Man… plate tectonics are fucking wild, dog.
If you think that is wild Venus just randomly decides to completely swallow its entire surface every once and a while and the build a new one.
although we have no evidence of it ever happening to earth there is no reason it necessarily couldn’t happen one day.
Think about this the earths crust is only 19 miles thick (30km) that is less than I used to drive to work
The Earth’s crust is only 1/200 the thickness of the earth, an unknown geologic change could cause the entire surface to reshape over night.
And you’d still be expected to work the next day
Watching that gave me a sensation similar to how I would describe the feeling you get coming to a stop in an elevator.
All that mass moved in basically one second. That’s a shitton of energy.
That is absolutely incredible.
