I love how the answer to the Middle East problem is a nuke, and not just, I don’t know, leaving us alone for a change.
No, sorry, letting arabs live is antisemitic. And that’s a bad thing to be. I don’t make the rules; i just uncritically accept anc enforce them upon those who cannot defend themselves and nobody else.
Nobody tell Israel that Arabs are semites too.
What an antisemitic thing to say!
I might be overly pedantic, but it drives me insane that there are many words, where you can’t take the meaning from its parts, because it would mean something completely different, but I guess that’s just how our languages work.
Nowhere does it say who nuked them. Maybe it was themselves.
Then leave them alone to nuke themselves.
Again, nowhere in the image is it saying they were helped to nuke themselves.
Maybe the crater was caused by this dense fucker finally collapsing into a black hole
It is saying it in our real reality. And it should stop being so.
And the image isn’t in our reality 🤷♂ You really think someone is going to nuke the middle east and humanity is going to survive a blast bigger than one that killed the dinosaurs?
No, I think there is a perpetual war going on there, and US is getting involved in it with depressing frequency with depressingly negative results, and although I don’t believe it will be inevitability, randomly bombing random countries surely is a good recipe for a bad outcome.
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.
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
One can hope
But anime amiright?
Hell’s Gate, Heaven’s Gate - Darker than Black
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
not seen that one
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?
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.
Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map
Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
Which is illogical if it is supposed to be an epicentre of explosions. However, if it was Israel nuking everyone around… I mean, one ongoing genocide may not be enough for them.
Well not rewarding them fir starting a world war would be antisemitic.
Deeply. They were only defending themselves by murdering these toddlers… I mean, potential terrorists.
pptential
You fucking bigot! Those terrorists were slandering the entire protocols of the elders of zion larp group by making it look like their
terroristdefensive wing was murdering toddlers!How is that not terrorism!?
They had to die for that!
The toddlers were terrifying the poor IDF soldiers, hence they were terrorists.
More importantly, toddlers grow up into Palestinian adults. IDF obviously cannot allow THAT.
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.
Not allowing the zionazis to destroy all life on earth is antisemitic.
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.
Missilepotamia
Fuck we missed Israel again, launch another one.
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.
Yeah, fair enough, I do agree that this is largely driven by capitalism, and if we didn’t have a capitalist society we would hopefully be going about this more cautiously. Still, I feel like it’s a unique enough situation that I would consider it its own x-risk.
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.
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.
