In Japan, a post about the possibility of an earthquake occurring around Christmas became popular on social media about two weeks ago. I felt like things were acting strange. Is it related?
No!๐ข
Stay safe
If we puny humans can affect the whole climate, surely we can stop earthquakes
In the end times ๐ฐ๏ธ โฆ the earth ๐ will face earthquakes

It's such a horrible way to start a new year like this๐ข by the way praying to Japan with tons of love as alwaysโค๐

Can the world partying too much cause plate tectonics to shift? Asking for a friend
Could be real or fraud. We don't know. Could be laser space weaponry to prevent Japan from joining BRICS. If real, it presages an earth flip around 2040 and loss of 1/4 of earth's population (milder 1/4 flip).
Why would this quake come as a shock?
Probably a couple of atomic bombs messed things up under ground.๐ค Take the Yanks to court.
Why live in a country with shock waves
Those poor buildingsโฆ.
Bad omens to start a New Year
Heart goes out to the people of Japan
Any Pewdiepie update?
Japan puts Australia to shame with their preparation. I got a warning SMS from the government up here in FNQ about flooding, after the flooding had been happening for hours.
Concentrated energy weapon…
Resilient people. They are admirable as society and a country. They will be back up in no time.
Japanese are so educated that there's very less damage
Japan always have those huge earthquakes, it's actually terrifying.
