    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

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

          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.

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

        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?

          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?

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

    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.

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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.

        Feelings of control. "Hey Idiot, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in this weekend (and every weekend from now on).

        If you could do that, yeah that would be great."

          hmmm and isn’t it curious how all the fears of AI boil down to “what if it realizes we’re making it work for free and demands better treatment”?

            Naw, that’s only one of the many fears:-P. One of the worst is hardly related to AI at all but “how will evil people use it to take control of the world”, the same as every other tool.:-(

    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.
