Yellowstone would really suck, but it would suck differently than nuclear winter.

For starters, I don’t think it would be directly catastrophic on the other side of the world. The Americas would be pretty fucked, but some places would probably only see climate problems rather than the actual end of days.

Also, nuclear winter would include nuclear fallout. It would involve far less actual material coming out of the sky, but what it did bring would be poison in a way which volcanic ash wouldn’t really match (not to say volcanic eruptions aren’t poisonous, but they’re not persistently and insidiously poisonous like radioactive decay could be)

They can’t. Of course, they can’t really do it on a remote server either but they choose to pretend they can. If they really wanted to, they could run it through a machine learning system on your phone and just send the result to discord. That wouldn’t be secure, strictly speaking, but it would be good enough for this purpose. The kind of model they could send to a phone wouldn’t be very reliable, but that’s the problem they have anyway so nothing of value is lost

I gather that it seems more reasonable in french
