I was told that when you see a nuclear explosion then you should carefully observe it because you'll never see anything like it again in your life.

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 7 months ago

you have to stay 9 feet away as the shockwave expands. That's the trick

[-] PopcornTin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

The shockwave will help keep you safe by moving you another 500 away from the epicenter.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago

In many different directions.

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

Would that actual save you? Because, I thought the radiation also kills peoples far outside of the shockwave range...

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

You can't outrun radiation

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah you also cant outrun the shockwave but assumimg you were 9ft outside of the shockwave at all times (traveling outwards at the speed of the shockwave), you would still die, correct?

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

As temperature increases to a level, in both Celsius and Freedom units, outrunning the shock wave is not something you would be considering doing 🥵

[-] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

You dont know what hyperfast vehicle Im using 😎. Its temperature resistsnt too

[-] blusterydayve26@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

That’s the thing: people wouldn’t survive that. The only thing that could survive it is some sort of glassified sand immediately beneath the explosion. So sand dgaf, I guess?

Google's featured snippet thing is not only a bad feature, it's actively causing harm. It's extremely unreliable, but people who aren't tech literate, which is most people, think "well it's Google, so it must be right." Sometimes it's obviously wrong in a funny way, but more often, it's doing something like parroting dangerous medical misinformation. To make things worse, it's very likely to answer a question, which is the search form preferred by the technologically illiterate, with a yes. I would go so far as to say they should be sued for gross negligence for implementing it. It's killed people, when antivaxxers say they "did their own research", there's a good chance it was a Google featured snippet reinforcing their claim.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Sorry, you're not wrong about the misinformation and how removal from context can change the meaning of the he snippet. This is just my favourite.

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 7 months ago

It's going to be more and more unreliable as the results it's snipping from are increasingly machine-generated.

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

This is true.

But this screenshot is old if even real. I googled it and the snippet was much more realistic and detailed.

More to your point::

One snippet I recently saw that was wrong was the result for ‘population of Gaza.’ It showed the population of Gaza city, which is tiny fraction of Gaza.

[-] Rolder@reddthat.com 7 points 7 months ago

You either want to be close enough for instant death or far enough to be mostly unaffected. The middle ground where you die slowly from cancer or get crushed by debris or something would suck

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 4 points 7 months ago

The burns and your body turning into soup from radiation is the real terrible part.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

Remember six feet for covid, Nine for Nuclear.

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Six for Sneeze, Nine for Nuke

[-] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Don't forget to stop, drop and roll.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

I thought it was "duck, and cover"

[-] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Duck and cover are for tsunami's.

[-] blusterydayve26@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

Everything’s getting so complicated these days, they even added a fourth step: Stop, drop, Atoll, Atone.

[-] Gott@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

You wouldn't suffer any long term effects from the blast at that distance.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Nuclear brain move

[-] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 4 points 7 months ago

Well, getting instantly vaporized is safer than getting hit by debris or getting all types of cancer at once.

[-] clb92@feddit.dk 2 points 7 months ago

You and I define "safer" differently.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

If you're vaporized, bits of you have no chance of hurting anyone else like they could if you were hit by debris and simply exploded into chunks.

[-] clb92@feddit.dk 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Call me selfish, but I'm worrying more about what's safe for me.

Also, If I'm at a distance where I'm exploded into chunks, then the people who could be hurt by those chunks are likely to not be doing so great themselves either.

[-] blusterydayve26@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

Not true! Shockwaves could carry parts for miles!

…Oh, I see what you mean.

[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

Thanks ChatGPT

This must be the "dangerous misinformation" I keep hearing about.

[-] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Yes, but what is the distance from the blast to perfectly cook a frozen pizza?

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Sometimes you can find instructions for different ways to cook a pizza on the back of the box. For example I checked mine and underneath airfry and oven instructions there was instructions for "nuclear blast"...

Nuclear Blast

Remove pizza from all packaging and shrink wrap. Be sure to remove and discard the cardboard tray.

Place pizza on metal baking tray within a clear path of the blast source. Do not use glass cookware as it might shatter.

About 5 miles out from the blast source. Find a sturdy structure, like a rock deeply embedded into the ground.

Place pizza on the tray and tilt tray to a 45 degree angle on the rock. Angling toward the blast to evenly cook.

Bake for 5secs for 15 kiloton yield atomic bombs or until pizza is golden brown. Grab pizza and run to shelter before the shockwave hits. If the shockwave hits your pizza it will disintegrate.

All atomic bombs cook differently, so be sure to keep an eye on your pizza as it cooks and not the blast. Pizza is done when the cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Damn, my nuclear bomb is only 8 kiloton and I never know how to convert.

[-] GreenSkree@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure this isn't real guys. There's no "Do not thaw pizza" clause.

This sounds like a question for Randall Munroe.

[-] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Very much so

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago
[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago
[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

For the uninformed:

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Frankie Delicissio? I hear he's datin your sister.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 7 months ago
[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Artifical Idiot still fits. The question is, why we invent an artifical idiot having too much of the real ones.

[-] xta@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

what PF 🧴 should also get?
