Mount Paltry has gained global attention for an unusual claim โ€” being recognized as ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐. Unlike towering peaks that scrape the clouds, this tiny geological rise stands barely higher than a small hill. Yet what it lacks in height, it makes up for in curiosity and scientific interest. ๐Œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ญ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐œ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ push land upward over long periods, and Mount Paltry represents this process at its most minimal scale, giving geologists insight into how even the smallest uplifts can shape the landscape. ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ž ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ณ๐ž, ๐Œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ ๐๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐š ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ค๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.

7cm is not paltry, that's an incredibly huge distance if you look at it from a realistic point of view. I'd even go as far as to say that 7cm is unnaturally large, probably biologically impossible. Even 6cm would still be very large and satisfying

I have a feeling you're not talking about mountains anymore.

Is that a mountain in your pants or are you just happy to see me

[โ€“] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Wait, that's actually pretty neat, it just jutted up out of the ground like that?

Such a paltry little thing.

Give it a few eons and that name is going to be kind of ironic

i'd give the mountain eons, but not humanity to name it so.
