  1. It would take a mass extinction event to go that deep.

  2. The type of jokes found in TBBT: "You're harder to find than the Higgs Boson" LAUGH TRACK "Do you know how fast you were going?" "No officer, but I know exactly where I am." LAUGH TRACK "Hey Penny you want to perform the coitus?" "Really, that's how you talk to girls? No wonder you're a sad virgin." LAUGH TRACK "This computer has 16 megpipes, I'm gonna get all the highscores on the World of Warcraft" THE CANNED LAUGHTER IS WITHERING AWAY AT YOUR SANITY

  3. Tammy Nelson we can't trust people, by the same logic we can't trust dams either. We can't trust the wiring on the solar panels on our rooftops.

  4. +fanOmry notice that some of those legs in the pictures shown were bare. Without clothing, there's no wick effect and the legs are hard to burn like in a crematorium.

  5. ​ @stardolphin2  Kyle Hill has a video on the self-sustaining nitrogen fusion hypothesis. The logic is in the math. With a high enough temperature it happens. We've never reached a 1/100th of that temperature inside a nuclear blast so we're safe.

  6. Tyler Slagel but you spat out the mouthwash, right? Water fluoridation is banned in some countries. I never drank fluoridated water and never had a cavity.

  7. Nuclear winter isn't real, especially in the Sahara. Sand would turn to glass. Nuclear winter was developed from the massive city fires in Japan, caused by wooden construction and stacks of coal used for domestic purposes. When Iraq set the Kuwait oil fires ablaze to cover their retreat, cooling effects were no observed except for the areas physically shaded by smoke.

  8. That was Cold War era reasoning by scientists to dissuade nuclear escalation. Japanese cities in the 1940s were built with a lot of wood. Modern fire codes and building materials ensure that such firestorms wouldn't happen. Anyway, the Iraqi army set something like 800 oil fires when retreating from Kuwait, creating huge pillars of black smoke. Cooling effects were negligible.

  9. ​ @EC-dz4bq  An air burst is more efficient as a bomb (conventional or otherwise) and a ground burst is worse for civilians. Stuff in the air dissipates easily. The solution to pollution is dillution, it's the dose that makes the poison, etc. A ground burst will lift material, irradiate it, then scatter it downwind. The fallout is much, much worse.

  10. ​ @briansowell6582  "today's megaton weapons" but most deployable warheads top out at 475 kiloton.

  11.  @MusikCassette  The what now? Turbine engines already have a shaft connected to an alternator to power the electric systems.

  12.  @MusikCassette  How do you generate electricity if the aircraft is electric powered? Aircraft have RAT - Ram Air Turbines - if the power goes out, but deploying them increases drag to get the turbine to spin.

  13. If you want to go deeper, Russian blood (I'd say "Soviet" to include more of the peoples who fought on the Red Army who wouldn't want to be called Russian) wouldn't have done anything without the US's industrial capability and Germany's chronic logistical problems. The US was mostly untouched so its industrial output carried the Allies on its back - both Stalin and Zhukov admitted that Lend-Lease was critical. And Germany had such problems with oil shortages and logistical chain issues that the war was unwinnable for their side and the outcome was decided on the day the conflict started. Reducing the Eastern front to a bloody sacrifice also discounts the Soviet use of Deep Battle doctrine and some masterful tactical decisions such as Zhukov predicting the German assault on Kursk and placing the defenses in the right spots. On the other hand by the time the bombs were dropped Germany had already been defeated. This was about the war in the Pacific. It wasn't who did more to win in Europe but how we delineate the conflict to have ended with Japan's surrender.

  14. The Manhattan Project required a secret city to be built, a huge enrichment facility and a whole hydroelectrical dam to power the thing. His point is that without a huge investment the thing won't pay for itself

  15. Don't leave the house then. The institutions in charge of motor vehicles and air travel are going to get you killed. Never mind, your house was built up to code too and probably projected by architects and engineers. You know how those institutions can't be trusted. Leave the house too. By your logic literally no technology can be trusted, not just nuclear power. You're throwing out the baby with the bath water.
