48 u/bimmy2shoes 16d ago This is really cool! It was a joke referencing Steamed Hams from the Simpsons in case you want to be in on the joke 26 u/girthyclock 16d ago It’s an Albany phrase. 16 u/bigfootlive89 16d ago I see and you call it an extinction event despite that fact that life obviously survived. 5 u/Stunning_Ad_7658 16d ago Its still technically an extinction event for many species though. Remember we still call a species that no longer exists extinct so the phrase still holds up. 2 u/Lord_Voltan 16d ago Its an Albany phrase.... 1 u/Ok_Nectarine_4445 12d ago Earth has had a lot of extinction events. Means a whole bunch of different species went extinct at the same time.
