Try watching the documentary I cited and answer the question yourself, while having a great time doing it! Bates posted:It would be terrible. We just wouldn't go extinct. A distinction without a meaningful difference, for the average human.

Time-lapse of all the nuclear explosions since 1945 some might find interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCF7vPanrY

C.M. Kruger posted:I've noticed that doomsday scenarios always seem to ignore that people live outside of North America, Europe, and maybe Asia. I've always wondered what the New Zealand or South African government planned to do in the event of a nuclear war. Also while those studies about nuclear winter are rightly alarming, the truth is there's a huge amount of uncertainty in estimates of climate forcing from nuclear war. The 2007 study doesn't even try to estimate how much material would be transported into the atmosphere, and just makes up two vaguely plausible numbers. If material can't get into the upper atmosphere you might just get several months of localized cooling.

What do you do for education? "We home school!" Where's the man of the house? "He uhh, he didn't want to be on camera, he's worried about losing his job." Really? What's he do? "Oh - he's an educator."  mom "We don't like the nintendo or the sony and all that kinda thing.." little girls: "But we do like to play Ethnic Cleansing!" coyo7e fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Feb 28, 2017 |

Rime posted:We effectively had a full-scale nuclear war through the 60's and 70's, with hundreds of devices being surface and air tested. Approximately 500 atmospheric nuclear tests were carried out between 1945 and the test ban in 1963, which equates to one explosion per fortnight, or 3% of the current world stockpile. Not what I'd call "full-scale nuclear war". The Ender posted:Nuclear war = GG, thx for playing. Nuclear winter or not. This is extremely far from reality - there are just too many false or fanciful things that I'm not even going to bother correcting them individually.

I mean, most of Africa's probably hosed in the event of a full nuclear exchange; radioactive dust clouds & fallout are going to migrate from Russia. But yes, fair point; a lot of South Africa is probably fine, and Southeast Asia would probably be mostly untouched. I don't live there, though, so that's kind of cold comfort. :|

Not what I'd call "full-scale nuclear war". Come back when you can show an actual car powered on cold fusion - or hell, when you remember that there's a negative sign in the middle of that electrical field vs magnetic field equation which means you don't ever get a free lunch. Or you know I can go ground-ball simplistic and ask "okay how many nuclear tests were carried on land in that same period"? And then ask how atmospheric and underwater don't mean the same thing as applied nuclear weaponry used on ground-based targets - or are there a whole pile of orbital and undersea military bases which will get nuked to the exclusion of population centers? Also - 500 is really a low number of tests on unrelated areas when we've got thousands and thousands of warheads on what is it, 3 -minute response window? I mean even if you're totally 100% right about nuclear fallout from weaponry only lasting a few months and then blowing away into the wind (you do realize that solar winds don't count - right?) please tell me why you'd want to live within a hundred miles of *any* military or governmental infrastructure location.

coyo7e posted:Ahh yes, the good old "I do not understand physics - so I conflate X with Y and then claim "free energy!" argument." Did you quote me by accident, or are you being facetious? I said nothing about "nuclear fallout from weaponry only lasting a few months and then blowing away into the wind". My comment was exclusively about the false claim that "we effectively had a full-scale nuclear war through the 60's and 70's", and the misconceptions of The Ender.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:apocalypse fantasy is always so weird. It is always a wish about "going back" to some historical time period the author decided is good. Like no one ever has radios or anything unless they find some weird world war II nautical radio even if it's like a month after civilization collapsed. It's also so prevalent it gets boring fast. Are there stories where the apocalypse is caused by out-of-control technology, but in a twist only a bunch of intelligent machines survive? I would read/watch "Mad Max: AI"

I guess watch every tv show, movie and videogame from the last 30 days to find out which I mean?

Is the primitive technology guy on youtube ideologically incorrect e: what about the guy who lives on a ranch and makes homemade explosive charges to run his own mine

The Primitive Technology guy seems like he's just a curious hobbyist. His blog doesn't show any sign of the political stances or worries about impending disaster you'd expect from a prepper.https://primitivetechnology.wordpress.com/about/ posted:Primitive technology is a hobby where you make things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. This is the strict rule. If you want a fire- use fire sticks, an axe- pick up a stone and shape it, a hut- build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without modern technology. If this hobby interests you then this blog might be what you are looking for. I haven't heard of the guy running his own mine though. Got a link?

I fully expect to die early in the aftermath of the apocalypse. If I were to hoard anything it would be drugs; might as well make my inevitable death a fun one.
