Empowering these creatures was easily preventable, and the worst is yet to keep on coming, and coming, and coming... but you know how the average non-voting imbecile is.

"I won't vote because it feels like a duty, I want voting to be FUN! I want a kinglike charismatic figure with a magical political wand to INSPIRE every breathing moment my ignorant, medieval peasant, eNLigHtEnEd MiNd!"

That how Napster and Bit Torrent worked!

Don't forget the other gigantic bunch of morons who neglected to vote because their weak little minds are easily manipulated by divide-and-conquer propaganda, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL, all you gotta do is stroke their ego a little bit: "You're the righteous one by staying home and sitting on your lazy ignorant ass on Election Day! They should give you a goddamned medal for not participating!", even though the mouth-breathers showed the entire world EXACTLY who they are, since 2015 and more importantly, on January 6, 2021.

THIS WAS ALL EASILY PREVENTABLE

You are a clever and resourceful man, mister Bond.

Volcanic activity! It wouldn't be oxygen, though. It'd be a slightly more... shall we say... lethal cocktail.

And loads of groupies on the younger side... if you know what I mean.

Holy shit, just how many blowjobs has this cult leader given to studio suits? Of what kind of dirty laundry does he have on them?
Why does this JUST. KEEP. HAPPENING?!!

It's a completely different scenario than on Earth. Also Europa has less gravity than our moon, even, and just 13% than Earth's gravity. Much less pull from below, much more pull from above. That ice shell just might stay in place like a church dome, even if the water level comes and goes.

tidal forces in the Jovian system are colossal compared to what we are familiar with

I'm also considering Europa's ice shell being kilometers thick. In our Arctic Ocean, the ice is somewhere around 10 meters (30 feet) on average, less in many spots.

 

This is what I'm visualizing:
A liquid ocean pressed against the inner side of Europa's ice crust, during high tide. Then the tide shifts and the water rushes away, leaving a gigantic hollow shell high above the ocean's surface, like a vast dome stretching towards the horizon in all directions, in total darkness.

Meanwhile, the tidal bulge has rushed halfway across the hemisphere, the water is now pressing against the ice crust there.

If the Jovian system's tidal forces can stretch and knead Io's mantle like silly putty, its' rocky surface rising and falling as much as 100 meters (about 300 feet) each tidal cycle... I can't even imagine how violently the water may slosh under Europa's ice crust.

One final note: considering that Europa is tidally locked with Jupiter, and it is Ganymede and Callisto that can pull in other directions, how long are the tidal cycles there? The principle is like on Earth, but there are extra gears in the mechanism, so to speak, different high and low tides may vary widely between each other.

Gee, I wonder why? Strange, I am curious.

Wherever there is matter in an ever-thinning universe, there might be an entire cosmologically-sized era dominated by an entirely different chemistry to what we have now.
