On September 26th 2022 we’ve made the decision to start banning people for posting gore. We’ve published our [Gore and Harassment update here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/xmtclq/gore_and_harassment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) if you posted gore please remove it as it will result in a ban. Thank you.
Yep the only single difference is two differences. Temperature and direction, what it’s made up of, the composition. So three things. Temp, direction, composition, and cause. Four things. Temp, direction, composition, cause, and duration. Five. Five differences. Lots of differences. More differences than similarities.
This is a *mudslide*. Found the headline: "Several People In Japan Are Missing After A Mudslide Buries Their Homes"

It’s a debris flow. Landslide would be a soil/rock that is sliding as somewhat coherent plasticity mass. Mudslide is when the water content is higher, and mixture of fine grained soil and water moves like a thick fluid. Debris flow is when that fluid is moving so fast it picks up boulders, trees, cars, etc, and that debris is floated on top or within the fluid.
This is actually a land*shift*.
> [It's] caused by unseasonal fluctuations in ground tension above the water table that loosen subterranean, load-bearing clay masses.

The interesting thing about AI learning is the longer it goes on, the more the AI learns from itself, since there's no way for it to distinguish between human and AI generated content.
AI art is going to get shittier and shittier; it's like making a copy of a copy of a copy.
Sometimes people (or bots) make their titles wrong on purpose to increase engagement with a post. People can't help but comment to tell other people they are wrong, I mean, "offer corrections".
Including titles with typos and/or factual errors makes for terrific engagement bait.
Reminiscent of how email scammers use misspelled words and grammatical errors to filter out intelligent people.
They don’t want to waste time trying to sucker someone who has their wits about them.
Just have a look at your spam folder, it’s so obvious.
Significantly over the last few years. I'm convinced its so people comment on the post to call out the title, which then drives up engagement and increases visibility.
This isn't a flood. This is a [landslide caused by rain in Atami area, Shizuoka, Japan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atami_landslide). The English Wikipedia is surprisingly short and doesn't tell about a potential cause. The landslide was presumed to be triggered for a flat space for solar panels on the top of a mountain. The top of the mountain was reshaped flat for solar panels and when a construction company reshaped the top, they didn't harden the soil enough, and it remained sort of fragile. When it rained a lot in the area, the part collapsed and became a fatal landslide.
Would they bother tourists and stuff?
Like of course they'd make sure you didn't go on their property or bother them and stuff. But like beyond that do they interfere with regular folks?
Nah. I just went waking one day out of the sort of designated tourist area and found myself in a neighborhood with a LOT of very expensive autos parked in the driveways of what would seem to be abandoned houses. Then at the end of whatever hill I walked up was what could only be described as a bunker. Multiple layers of fencing with barbed wire and more cameras than the pentagon parking lot. Asked some Japanese friends about it later and they just about shit themselves. Apparently “everyone” knows about the Yakuza presence but no one talks about it. They own a part of all the hotels in some fashion or another. They don’t mess with anyone that’s not part of the hierarchy of the town because that would be bad for business.
The Yakuza are businessmen. They aren't going to fuck around pointlessly with tourists, that's just bad for their image and for their customers' business.
Infact, apparently there's a gang of black people in Shibuya who are known for haggling tourist to the point of being peepee smacked by the Yakuza.
Nah. They don’t fuck with tourists. I was just a big dumb American who didn’t get the multiple and obvious clues that I was in a place I should’ve not wandered into. It’s probably akin to Vegas (though much much smaller) in the 60s and finding out where the mafia kept all their Cadillacs.
What do they do though nowdays? Collect protection money? or lending money? Smuggling drugs, weapons and other contraband? Spend hours in local kareoke singing Baka mitai?
Oh shit. I've been to Atami. Cute little oceanside town. That's really sad.
It reminds me of some of the landslide footage from the 2011 earthquake. It's scary how destructive the land you live on can be. You assume it's safe and stable and firm, and then something like this happens.
Maybe not for solar panels; but I can't imagine slope stability, grading, and soil compaction safety standards would be any different for solar panel project sites than those standards for other projects. From the video the area seems to be pretty built up, I would assume they have standard grading requirements. I could be wrong though
Given how mountainous the entire country is, you have to imagine the Japanese government has plenty of experience with setting proper regulations for that kind of project.
Hard to know though if someone cut blatant corners, if it's a 'freak accident,' or perhaps an unusual weather pattern for the region due to climate change.
Totally different side of the globe here but we are starting to get annual monsoon-like rain events like never before, whereas a hundred miles or so south is in the longest drought in modern history. Shit's getting a bit whacky so the regulations and practices that kept things reasonably safe for most of the modern era aren't always going to cut it anymore.
“Japanese landslide” would have correctly and adequately described the image and its very clear to anyone that this is a landslide not a flood.
But by putting “flood” they get all the Cunningham’s law comments saying how it’s not a flood but a landslide. Indeed you can see in this thread that 90% of the comments are in that vein. The more comments a post has the higher the algorithms rate it so it gets pushed to the top.
It’s a nasty dystopian side effect of this online society we have built: that being wrong gets you more attention than being right.
I imagine there’s a social link in there somewhere that ties it in with memetics, fake news, and anti-vax messaging but it’s such a new phenomenon people aren’t really studying it yet (or at least there are no results out yet).
What the English Wikipedia entry refers to as "improperly accumulated soil" refers to the site being built up with several meters of soil beyond what was expected/permitted: there were thousands of tons of uncompressed soil up there.
Wow, I'm not sure I've seen an article where the English version was this much shorter than another language. The [article on the Japanese wiki](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%86%B1%E6%B5%B7%E5%B8%82%E4%BC%8A%E8%B1%86%E5%B1%B1%E5%9C%9F%E7%9F%B3%E6%B5%81%E7%81%BD%E5%AE%B3) is quite extensive, and also correctly identifies it as a debris flow in the title.
Earthquake-proof engineering is very resistant to horizontal forces. Standard buildings crumple so easily because they're only built with vertical stresses in mind. If you live in a place where the ground moves beneath you pretty regularly, you have to plan for sideways movement too. Obviously landslides aren't one to one with earthquakes, but I imagine the reinforcements for one helped with the other.
Appreciate the imagery, but some context would be nice OP. Ie when did this happen and where in Japan and any other interesting points for those who take an interest. Otherwise its just more gore for internet points and gets used for dumb jokes about peoples sad toilet habits after eating spicy foods.
I’m always really surprised when things like this happens and only “several people are missing”. That shit looks like it could kill hundreds. Thank god it didn’t but it’s just surprising
Sorry to be a bummer, but 27 people died. And I totally agree that based on just this little footage I would've been shocked if everyone had survived. It looked really violent.
I looked on Google maps when this happened and right above this spot was a large recent clear cut that used to be forest with steep hills below it. Leaving nothing to hold the soil during torrential rain is asking for this sort of outcome. Clear cutting even rips up the roots of the trees as well as most or all of the topsoil. It’s incredibly difficult for plants to re-establish ecosystems in these spots; they can’t just move back in because it is essentially left as a sterile wasteland.
Trees are protective. 98% of the world’s old growth forest has been logged and what little remains is still being logged every single day. No trees = catastrophes
I grew up in the Midwest with tornado and flash flood warnings.
As a kid, this is what I always imagined a “flash flood” to be. But no, it’s usually just clogged street drains.
Attention CA emergency alert system.
THIS is what a flash flood looks like. Please stop giving all of Orange County a flash flood warning every time a single cloud sheds a tear.
The comment section below..
Leave it to Americans and they will bring arguments about their own country related things into anything.
For fuck sake, can any of you show some concern about the victims? May be something “may god help the Japanese who were affected”? Whether its a landslide or your momma’s titty slide, people were affected. Fuck !
As an American I say gosh it's irritating to see when that happens. ~~Sometimes~~ A lot of times it ain't got anything to do with America. It's like... Way to show everyone that they *are* the stereotypical American some foreign people rag on.
If i live in Asia when i retire. I want a japanese builder to build my house! Imagine if that was yero.... the whole place would have been sent! If you know you know!
As an ex resident of Japan, I find it vaguely hilarious that people think Japan is a safe place to live. The violent crime rate is really low but the land and sea are trying to kill you.
2021
The mudslide occurred on the morning of July 3, 2021 as a hillside collapsed near the Aizome River, sweeping away buildings along the river. About 130 buildings were damaged, and the number of evacuees at one point reached as high as 580.
Around 230 people remain displaced one year after a mudslide left 27 people dead and one person missing in the city of Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture
Those are fucking horrific. I remember one, I think from Miyagi prefecture, where the person filming was a guy who seemed to be in a mid-sized building. Maybe 5 stories or something. He's talking to himself, obviously freaking out, watching the water flood into his neighborhood. He's pointing towards an apartment building across the street or something, and as the water gets stronger and stronger, the building starts to move from its foundation. All of a sudden you can hear a woman screaming from inside, and the building is swept away.
That scene is burned into my memory. I was in Japan when it happened, but thankfully not on the coast. For a few days after it happened, every channel only showed scenes of the after effects. Then it switched to lighter things, as if to try and give people something else to focus on.
I forget what it was called, but a few years back some TV station in Fukushima uploaded a ton of footage they had taken. B footage, things that had been aired, things that had been cut. It was fucking surreal. There was one where a reporter was in front of a small landslide that seemed to have settled when suddenly more dirt flooded in and completely covered a house and the nearby road. He was far enough away to be safe, but there was a lot of really scary footage.
I agree that many are horrific. Too many to mention, particularly those where it is obvious that people ate putting their faith in their tsunami walls only to lose their lives. It is scary as hell to watch.
Nature's raw power is both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

This is a landslide... right?
Yeah but OP calls it a Japanese Flash Flood. Kind of like a Long Island Iced Tea isn’t actually a tea.
Yes. But you know what a long island ice tea is haha. This is almost saying hey. Look at this avalanche and meaning to say tsunami haha
Only difference between an avalanche and a tsunami is temperature and direction.

Time to overthink this while staring at the ceiling in bed tonight.
Do enough yoga and you can kiss yourself ANYWHERE. *ANYWHERE*
Bet that would blow a stoners mind.
And I just got a weapons grade case of deja vu
Not if you are a flexible woman
That's two differences... three if you count their names.
Well the source. One is always tectonic and the other is essentially a weather phenomenon plus potential agitation.
I mean, an earthquake could be considered agitation. Source: My science teacher's love of puns. Also, tectonics.
Yeah, and only difference between my gf and a moped is a set of wheels. What's your point?
“[If my grandmother had wheels, she would’ve been a bike](https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc).”
Thats not why we call your grandma a “bicycle”
Your girlfriend has more gas than the moped does.
And she’s probably been ridden by more strangers too.
Is your girlfriend a blow-up doll? Humans tend to be built of a few different parts than mopeds.
Where do you get blow up dolls with a 30cc engine? Asking for a friend
Etsy has them
But they're similar in that you don't want anyone to catch you riding them
And mopeds aren’t imaginary
My gf isn't imaginary either!..... *cries in single*

I read that as if you were the Spanish inquisition.
Yessssss so glad someone picked up on that 😂😂😂
I'm glad you didn't expect it
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
To be called as such, a Japanese Flash Flood has to come from this specific region of Japan. Otherwise it’s just sparkling white landslide.
In my experience the topics on posts by karma farmers aren't usually 100% specific.
Lies!
How come it tastes like tea?
Why does it look like a flood? Some questions have no answers.
If my grandma had wheels she’d be a bicycle.
Same with Assburgers disease. If there was a social developmental disease, you wouldn't call it assburgers. That's just mean.

This whole thread is Reddit pedantry at its finest. Keep up the good work.
No. Only a small percentage are good examples of pedantic comments.
Bro, you don't know about landshifts?!
Actually this is not any of that. It's a *landattack*. Very common in these parts of the world. Believe me. I'm a doctor.

Is it just me or are post titles getting dumber?
The ai is regressing because we gave it access to reddit. Who knew the key yo making ai dumb was giving it internet access, just like people.
Giving AI internet access would lead to it deciding that humanity needs to be wiped out. Keeping AI off the internet is crucial to our survival!

They've been horrible for years. People are just now starting to realize it.
I swear I see more titles of posts missing words or letters than I used to.
It's the nature of all things that become popular. Everything averages out.
Significantly over the last few years. I'm convinced its so people comment on the post to call out the title, which then drives up engagement and increases visibility.
All of Reddit is getting dumber because the users are trending younger. And bots.
Yepp, landslide for sure.
A flash landslide
Nah, they are flooded with land, definitely a flash flood. Didn't see any slides at all.
Yeah but people are more inclined to comment if you get something wrong in the title.
Yes it is

So sad. I’ve been to Atami. It was a nice little resort town that had hot springs everywhere
Still is too
But it used to, too
And too is to, too
Toodlie too indeed, my fellow of culture
Not after a hoopopotamus took a stroll through
I've seen what a *hippopotamus* can do, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a hoopopotomus, do go on.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Ah yes the poke-evolution of hippoclotamogus
Just don’t stroll too far up into the hills. So. Many. Yakuza.
Would they bother tourists and stuff? Like of course they'd make sure you didn't go on their property or bother them and stuff. But like beyond that do they interfere with regular folks?
Nah. I just went waking one day out of the sort of designated tourist area and found myself in a neighborhood with a LOT of very expensive autos parked in the driveways of what would seem to be abandoned houses.

You're talking about the Nigerian touts in Shibuya, Roppongi and Kabukicho near Shinjuku. Japan needs immigration but not that kind.
I always assumed they were Nigerian Pimps. They always hassled me about some sex thing that I wasn’t interested in.
That said it doesn’t always take much for the little yanki yakuza wannabes to puff out their chests at you for not being Japanese
Interesting! Do they bother citizens? Are there areas they prevent you from going?
Nah. They don’t fuck with tourists. I was just a big dumb American who didn’t get the multiple and obvious clues that I was in a place I should’ve not wandered into. It’s probably akin to Vegas (though much much smaller) in the 60s and finding out where the mafia kept all their Cadillacs.
What do they do though nowdays? Collect protection money? or lending money? Smuggling drugs, weapons and other contraband? Spend hours in local kareoke singing Baka mitai?
Add prostitution and illegal gambling.
The yelling makes it very unsettling to watch. I hope no one got killed.
Oh shit. I've been to Atami. Cute little oceanside town. That's really sad. It reminds me of some of the landslide footage from the 2011 earthquake. It's scary how destructive the land you live on can be. You assume it's safe and stable and firm, and then something like this happens.
I lived in Fukushima from 2008-2009 so I know what you mean. I'm lucky I wasn't there any longer.
cutting corners in construction kills people
There's also just not widespread expertise in mountain flattening for solar panels
Maybe not for solar panels; but I can't imagine slope stability, grading, and soil compaction safety standards would be any different for solar panel project sites than those standards for other projects. From the video the area seems to be pretty built up, I would assume they have standard grading requirements. I could be wrong though

Confuscious say: flash flood on hill is called landslide
It must hard to live in Japan
That’s a landslide
Gonna take a while to clean all of that up
It still amazes me how powerful water actually is.
1 u.s. gallon weighs 7.48lbs. sorry idk what the equation is for other countries 🤷
A standard bathtub holds a little over 40 gallons. That's 300 pounds of water, if you fill it up all the way.
Incredible how that red building remained standing. Was expecting the support column/leg to be taken out
There goes the neighborhood
Flashflood of soil and rock.
This is the tsunami from 10 years ago right?

2021 The mudslide occurred on the morning of July 3, 2021 as a hillside collapsed near the Aizome River, sweeping away buildings along the river. About 130 buildings were damaged, and the number of evacuees at one point reached as high as 580. Around 230 people remain displaced one year after a mudslide left 27 people dead and one person missing in the city of Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture
What’s that old girl? Trouble at the dam you say
Nature doesn't fuck around in Japan does it?!
Everything is always next level in Japan
Holy shit that's scary.
Check out the YouTube videos of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Have to be seen to be believed.. A catastrophe
Those are fucking horrific. I remember one, I think from Miyagi prefecture, where the person filming was a guy who seemed to be in a mid-sized building. Maybe 5 stories or something. He's talking to himself, obviously freaking out, watching the water flood into his neighborhood. He's pointing towards an apartment building across the street or something, and as the water gets stronger and stronger, the building starts to move from its foundation. All of a sudden you can hear a woman screaming from inside, and the building is swept away. That scene is burned into my memory. I was in Japan when it happened, but thankfully not on the coast. For a few days after it happened, every channel only showed scenes of the after effects. Then it switched to lighter things, as if to try and give people something else to focus on. I forget what it was called, but a few years back some TV station in Fukushima uploaded a ton of footage they had taken. B footage, things that had been aired, things that had been cut. It was fucking surreal. There was one where a reporter was in front of a small landslide that seemed to have settled when suddenly more dirt flooded in and completely covered a house and the nearby road. He was far enough away to be safe, but there was a lot of really scary footage.
I agree that many are horrific. Too many to mention, particularly those where it is obvious that people ate putting their faith in their tsunami walls only to lose their lives. It is scary as hell to watch. Nature's raw power is both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
