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.
spicy one

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.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nobody tell Israel that Arabs are semites too.

Imagine how much potassium they could export with direct access to the GZ Ocean?

Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Well not rewarding them fir starting a world war would be antisemitic.

Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
It looks much larger than the Chicxulub crater (72 tera tonnes of TNT), this must be a exatonne explosion!
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Considering that we’re in the midst of the Anthropocene mass extinction event already, I’d say it would be a certainty. The only question would be how bad it would get. Given how much larger that crater would be than Chicxulub, I’m guessing it would exceed the “Great Dying” to take the crown.

Trump solves global warming with nuclear weapons. Get his Nobel prize ready.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s actually a brilliant idea. Once you eradicate most of the humanity, the rest will sort itself out.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I was gonna say. With a crater that large, we all lose.
OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 year ago
it would also shatter tectonic plates, create rifts and reverse the directions some plates were moving, the asteroid impact you mention resulted in the Indian subcontinent (I’m simplifying a lot of things right now)
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, now you’ve piqued my curiosity. Got a link?
The Wikipedia article I’m reading right now says that the Indian plate split from Gondwana 100 MY ago (33 MY before the Chicxulub impact), so that’s not the connection. Further down the page, it says that the plate movement might have sped up as it passed over the mantle plume from the impact that created the Deccan Traps (my interpretation, BTW; the science isn’t actually as settled as I’m making it out to be), but it seems to me that that wouldn’t change the “result” of the plate colliding with Asia and creating the Indian Subcontinent, only the timing of the collision.

Combination sea level rice abd lots of much smaller nuclear explosions.

So they’re really trying to fix global warming!
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
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.
sus@programming.dev 1 year ago
this would actually be achieved by a team of 20 thousand oompa loompas with small shovels and 500 thousand megatons of cocaine

I like how you think
Lennnny@lemmy.world 1 year ago
One can hope
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
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?

No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.
Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

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.
jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
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.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
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.)

the idea that national borders would still exist, let alone be so unchanged, after such a world changing impact, is laughable.

It’s a little funny.
If you can’t laugh while choking on fallout, why even bother?
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Making “fun” about the eradication of someone (some country) already the target of current and ongoing aggression from all over the world, while the shitheads of America and Israel are bombing them, committing war crimes and mass murdering people faster than we can count, is decidedly inhumane and despicable.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
So would this lower sea levels?
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, because (a) that’s way, way bigger than any single bomb would make (the largest nuclear crater ever made was “only” about 390m across), and (b) actual nuclear weapon attacks would be detonated as air-bursts and therefore wouldn’t make craters at all to begin with.
The afore-mentioned crater was the result of an underground test, BTW. The largest bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, left no crater because it was an air-burst at 4,000m altitude.
