New research from the recently formed Department of Obvious Dangers at Nexus University has announced breakthrough efforts to better predict and understand “cascading land surface hazards”—which, translated for the layperson, means, “If the mountain slides, the rest of us glide.”
The project’s lead scientist, Professor Slidey Pebbles, described these cascading hazards as “the domino effect, but with mud, rocks, and occasionally small towns.” “It’s not just a landslide,” Pebbles clarified, “it’s a landslide that turns into a flood that washes away a bridge and finally causes your WiFi to go out when you need it most.”
According to the research, hazards no longer come in single serve—Earth prefers the variety pack. “Scientists used to study floods and landslides separately,” said Dr. Tumble Downhill, co-author and professional mud enthusiast. “But Mother Nature is all about efficiency, so she’s started combo-packing disasters for your inconvenience.”
The research involves new nexus-driven supercomputers named DangerNet, which calculate the odds of your backyard barbecue being interrupted by an unprecedented sequence of fire, water, earth, and insurance claim paperwork. “The key to surviving these hazard cascades,” said Dr. Downhill, “is creating a hazard cascade of your own using lawn chairs, tarps, and a healthy sense of denial.”
Critics say the research is just a fancy way to tell us that things are falling apart more creatively than ever. Nexus University’s PR team disagrees. “This isn’t just about doomscrolling in real life,” a spokesperson said. “We’re giving everyone the chance to panic early and often.”
Meanwhile, residents in high-risk areas have been encouraged to keep an eye on local weather apps, geology reports, and perhaps invest in a sturdy raft, a go-bag, and a “Welcome Disaster” doormat.
In the end, as Professor Pebbles put it, “We’re just doing our best to predict which way the chips—and chunks of hillside—will fall.”
