  1. It is the same X-ray as the dentist, we can't see those either without an exposure plate.

  2. You should try Threads.

  3. Because the most populated areas on both countries are closest at the Atlantic. But bombs would not pass over the Pacific or the Atlantic, they would cross the Arctic, it's the shortest route between Siberia and the mid-west, where both nations house their nukes.

  4.  @buckhorncortez  It's hardly fiction, it's well documented that the Soviets had people inside the Manhattan project.

  5. They do get dismantled, there has been ongoing dismantling since 1991.

  6. Not a lot was known about fumes or toxins in them days, poor fella likely got ill in later life.

  8. Weather, wind, shape of the bomb, any number of reasons.

  9. Is this the same god that drowned millions indiscriminately in the biblical flood?

  10.  @xXevilsmilesXx  I find it much better to check my facts than to post bullshit hoping the other guy doesn't.

  11. Speak for yourself...

  12. Both countries would actually send missiles north over the Arctic.

  13. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

  14. If we didn't have an ozone layer we would not be able to leave our homes.

  15.  @blucat4  Unprovoked? The US was poking and prodding Japan for most of the late 30's telling them what they can buy and who from, that is provocation and it bit the US on the arse at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese gave the US a bloody nose. Though as we saw the school bully only gets defeated in movies, never in real life.

  17. No, it would sound like it was made for Americans then and no documentary made for Americans is "more impressive".

  18. Einstein, he also said "We created nuclear weapons - can you imagine a mouse creating the mousetrap?"

  19. The Japanese didn't believe in the nukes because all of the powerful people lived in Kyoto and Tokyo, they finally and only surrendered to the west when Russians landed on Japanese territory six days after Nagasaki. They might have surrendered after a single nuke had the US dropped it in Tokyo bay a few miles out at sea so the government and emperor could see it but the US wanted a city far away from Tokyo where they could get boots on the ground to study what their new toy did without interference.

  20. It's a video about nukes, not espionage.

  21. Yeah, they neither would have went west nor east, they would have headed north, this is why the US partnered up with Canada to build NORAD, they knew an attack from Russia would likely come straight down over Canada from the north pole.

  23. Look at the atmospheric tests for fuckups, one side did it and burnt out every phone line for several hundred miles, and then the other side thought "the bastards are trying to blow up space! We need to do that too" and then they did the exact same thing, lmao. Can't remember who did it first, the US (with Starfish Prime) or the Soviets but despite the massive damage it caused to the home country the other side copied it and damaged their own country.

  24. Because the video is about nuclear weapons and not espionage.

  25. Most viewers? You are aware that fewer than 5% of all humans are American? 🙄

  26. So did Maximus and the ghoul kid from Fallout 4. It's a well-used trope.

  27. What do you think the cartoons are based on?

  28.  @sammy4538  You are seriously underestimating the power of thermal energy.

  29. No, they aren't.

  30.  @brianransom16  Meaning Americans.

  31. In case you didn't know it Americans represent fewer than 5% of Earth's population. There are probably tribes that measure things using sticks and bones, you'll notice the video didn't include them either.

  33. Because the words "Bikini Bottom" are funny to kids. It's like living in a place called "girl's pants".

  34. Probably nothing unless both were filled with CFCs.

  35. Someone made an animation of them all and by the time it really heats up in the 1980's it sounds like a video game with all the explosions popping off. One of the coolest animations I've seen.

  36. MAD is pretty obsolete now, anti-ballistic missiles made it that a side, either side, might convince themselves they can win in a conflict. It depends on where you live in your country and how much your government values you, the US tends to protect coastal cities using both patriot missile systems along coastal airbases and the AEGIS system of any US destroyers in US waters - the soviets on the other hand primarily protect just Moscow, St Petersburg, and anything between the two cities using the Perimeter system that covers both cities in a blanket of missile defences. If you live in Siberia or the US mid west (where the majority of both nations keep their silos/launchers) then your best bet of survival would be to run for the hills.

  37. It burns hydrocarbons producing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, as a by product.

  40. Yep. The first group allowed in to Hiroshima was a contingent of 3,000 scientists under the guise of humanitarian aid.

  41.  @k9m42  Good luck with your theory.

  42. Because we do impartial best I imagine.

  43. Fusion requires tremendous heat or tremendous pressure - an exploding nuclear weapon has both making fusion very doable.

  49.  @ortho-g9826  Nah, Threads is fairly accurate, most depictions of the post-apocalypse are pretty cheerful in comparison to Threads. That and The Road are probably the only post apocalyptic movies I've seen where no one smiles or makes wise cracks because at the end of the world there will be nothing to enjoy. Just misery.

  50. I have never heard of such a misconception even once, I think you're just having a "But.. but.. we could do that too moment!!" 🤣
