"Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.

In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.

USGS tweeted that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated." foxnews.com/science/2018/06/12/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-lava-boiled-away-big-islands-largest-freshwater-lake.html

    Well, the wikipedia bullshit injection is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Green_Lake_%28Hawaii%29&diff=844640234&oldid=844639879
    As added by "Sounder Bruce" who self-identifies as "I am Bruce Englehardt, board member of Cascadia Wikimedians User Group. I primarily edit articles about the Puget Sound region and Washington, with an emphasis on transportation and the built environment."
    As someone who seems to do many dozens of edits a day, sometimes up to a hundred, he seems to satisfy the stereotype of "those who do many dozens of wikipedia edits, sometimes up to a hundred, a day are actually useless cunts" that a group of data scientists concluded (albeit with slightly different words) a few years ago.

    Well done, Bruce Englehardt - pat yourself on the back, you're now officially a flag-waving member of the "I am part of the problem" club.

    What Bruce forgot to mention was that the 200' deep point in the lake was in a lava tube 6' wide, which silted over in the 1950s.... (also fake news...)
