Aaaaah destroying entire nations - every zionists wet dream
Not a zionist, but I’d like to see russia get destroyed
Why? Only a couple people in that country actually cause the bad stuff
And majority of people support them, also ruzzians are known to be barbarian slaver nation.
Fuck we missed Israel again, launch another one.
crazy how the bomb ignored the island in the middle, didn’t know we had donut nukes
the safest place is in the eye of the nuke
You can’t convince me that isn’t a nipple snuck in by the image creator.
Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.
This would require an asteroid/comet impact … an order of magnitude, or two, or three, more destructive than the chicxulub impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.
The entire chicxulub impact crater is about the size of ‘Mound Island’.
An impact this huge would probably shatter the crust of much of, if not the entire planet, and turn the entire atmosphere into fire.
But anime amiright?
Hell’s Gate, Heaven’s Gate - Darker than Black
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.
No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.
That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.
But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.
I don’t think there’s anything that could make a crater like that on Earth. Like, an impact big enough to leave a crater that big would render the entire crust splashy enough to fill it back in.
Yeah… from what I remember of dicking around in universe sandbox and space engine a while back… yeah, an impact this massive would … well, now it makes more sense to model earth as a multilayered, viscous liquid, basically.
You could end up with a ring system or possibly some minor moons, made out of ejecta.
After basically the entire Earth has turned into ‘the floor is lava’ for… decades? centuries?
One can hope
this would actually be achieved by a team of 20 thousand oompa loompas with small shovels and 500 million tons of cocaine
I like how you think
the idea that national borders would still exist, let alone be so unchanged, after such a world changing impact, is laughable.
To be fair, technically nobody can fight over their bullshit if neither they nor their bullshit exist.
The actual “Gulf of America”
Whatever made that crater was an ELE. Bigger than Chicxulub.
We have plenty of great filters to navigate:
We end war, or we die.
We restore the atmosphere and rebuild global ecology, or we die.
We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die.
Where are all the aliens? Fermi asked. The first question is, how do we navigate our way to becoming a space-faring, world colonizing species, ourselves? It’s turning out to be pretty difficult for the common hominid.
Not to mention skynet. It always bothers me when people leave AI out of lists of x-risks. I guess it’s because a popular sci-fi movie predicted it would happen, so nobody takes it seriously. Or perhaps it’s just because AI is so unpopular now, nobody wants to devote any time to thinking about the ramifications of it becoming smarter.
Courtesy of XKCD, long before we have to contend with unfriendly AI (we have committees of AI-techs working on this problem already) we’ll have to contend with someone like Musk or Bezos determined to own everything and capable of creating an AI-controlled army of killer robots.
We’re not sure how rogue AI is going to manifest. We are sure rogue power-seeking humans exist all the time, and positions of power are commonly filled by them. (That’s the primary argument for election by sortition, or by lottery.)
Ok, so to be clear, you’re saying that AI x-risk is already partially or even mostly bundled under “We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die.”?
That is a good assessment. Yes.
In fact, the race between capitalist interests to bypass safety and get operational AGI soonest is entirely about getting that power to be able to use it to hold everyone else hostage.
That would be a surprisingly realistic bump in the middle where molten granite spiked upwards, but I don’t think nukes have quite that much power. Don’t get me wrong, they could end life on earth, but they won’t have the same or more localized impact than the meteor did.
Is this boomer shit really making the rounds again? This is so 2003.
Anyone else glad that the USA has been kicked off the planet?
Wouldn’t a nuke that big crack the crust?
maybe, but it seems it would lower the sea level
ts looks like the kerbin map from KSP 🥀
The nostalgia for the Kerbin map is going be crazy if KSA takes off and fills the void for the next decade or so.
Oh wow, didn’t realize someone picked up the torch after ksp2 died. Haven’t touched a rocket in a few years but I’m down for some unplanned rapid dissasemblies in my future.
I’m struggling to keep my hype in check. I’ve resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.
Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.
The update log essentially seems to be look at these nice clouds I don’t think we’ve seen any actual gameplay yet at all
Just gimme that and kenshi 2 and lock me in the basement and I’ll be set for months.
Oh and skywind. And ITR2 1.0. Damn there’s a lot of games I’m waiting for.
And thus it happened. There were peace for a hundred years.
3 years. Balkans.
