i’m not at all concerned since the us is led by a mentally stable person who definitely thinks before he acts while considering all possibilities, outcomes, and consequences and doesn’t get all his information from cable news.
How are they determining this
By vibes. Legit that’s all it is.
War is basically inevitable at this point
Whatever your stance on the Pedophile Felon President, basically all of his policies are inevitable going to destroy the economy of the USA. Once that happens, the only option would be to use force internally to control the people and internationally to literally steal what they need to stay afloat
The people of the USA are still deluding themselves that their military will be loyal to the people because they didn’t march super well for the Rapist in Chief that day… ignoring the military has followed every single idiotic order to date without as much as a follow up question
I’m not worried about the war! I’m worried about what will happen after the war!!! :-(
This clock thing is fucking stupid.
I’ve been watching this clock for 40 years, also watched it get enshitified the last 20 years.
It has always been a symbol of empire, run by many the same fools who enabled the madness. But the revolving door and who contributes got worse since the 1990s. And it’s just some thing now.
They may be wrong or correct, who am I to know. But not to be relied on, I think
Honestly? Not very.
I grew up in the 1980’s doing duck-and-cover drills in school until the Berlin Wall came down. Growing up a science nerd who practically lived at the library, it was pretty obvious that duck-and-cover would do jack-and-shit if anybody ever pressed the big red button. So, I had to come to terms with the possibility that somebody might nuke where I grew up, probably far too early than was good for my mental health.
What it comes down to is this: In the unlikely event that somebody pops off a nuclear weapon, there is precisely dick that you, I, or anybody else likely to read this thread could do about it. It’s way above any of our pay grades, to steal a phrase. The only thing you can really do is take heart in the fact that there is nothing you did to cause it and nothing you can do to stop it, just like a solar flare or a gamma ray burst. The best you can hope for is that you’re somewhere in the first two blast radii because the most likely outcome is a bright flash, and that’ll be that. No suffering, no radiation sickness, no cancer eating you alive months to years later.
I get that’s not the kind of response you’re looking for, and I can’t blame you for that. However, neither am I willing to lie. Nuclear war is possibly one of the most horrible things the human race is capable of, and there is no happy medium, nothing reassuring, nothing hopeful that can be said.
Hug your loved ones.
Trump’s cabinet probably:
More like this:
Mein Führer, I can walk!
All that movie highlights is that nothing has really changed in 60 years.
It’s definitely way funnier than reality that’s for sure
And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…
Now playing The Doves - Rise
And this is well before Trump’s announcement of nuclear testing resumption.
If he actually goes through with it, everyone will know because it shows up on seismographs, something he’s apparently ignorant of… And the comission will surely move it closer.
I am extremely concerned. There’s never been somone so unscientifically minded, with no one knowledgable on nuclear warfare advising him directly, with their finger on the button like this.
And what’s annoying is that my relatives do not care. Even the scientifically minded ones. There is absolutely nothing Trump can do wrong, at least nothing that can get through without being warped and dismissed as hysteria. That in itself is scary, as there’s now no “political fallout” check on Trump’s actions until 401Ks literally evaporate.
If he actually goes through with it, everyone will know because it shows up on seismographs, something he’s apparently ignorant of…
Remember, this is the same man that thinks the stealth bomber is literally invisible, or that you neutralize a magnet simply by getting it wet, or that you take fries out of the boiling oil with your hands (he learned you don’t while doing his pretend day at McDonald’s).
Lmao I’d like to hear more about the the boiling hand thing, where can I read about this?
Trump marveled repeatedly about how the fries are packaged, with the aid of a scooper-like device.
“Never touched by a human hand,” he said at one point. “Nice and clean.”
Source: Trump attempts to troll Harris by serving french fries at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s
Is a small clip of him making fries between 24-50 secs of the video at the top of the page.
Oof that was a bit of a let down, I was expecting surprise hand burns, not grandpa saying silly things.
Oh man, the conspiracy theories that would have come out of Trump deep frying his paws. The Right wing propaganda machine went crazy when Trump had issues at his UN visit over stuff the UN said was at least partly due to his own team. If he burned himself they’d have put that franchise owner on a plane to El Salvador that afternoon.
i feel this whole clock thing is such a liberal jerk off grounded in idealism not materialism. theyve been edging on 89 seconds to midnight since 2024.
i remember them moving the clock forward when north korea did some missile test a long time ago, as if north korea are the global aggressors 🙄. and of course it was 7 minutes to midnight during the cuban missile crisis.
trump threatening war on like 5 different countries is worrying, but i feel its mostly just MIC stock manipulation.
My suspicion is that the clock accelerated significantly because of climate change. Even if we don’t nuke each other, climate change is a slow burn, self-inflicted destruction by humans. Either way, both scenarios lead to a hot extinction.
I am very worried about the US starting WW3. It’s March of 1939, and nazis are actively fabricating a casus belli against weaker foreign political enemies.
We are in it already. Its an information and psy-ops war. Propaganda, fear, manipulation, controlling tech platforms, making people fight eachother over race, gender, whatever.
This is why everyone feels anxious.
Its not going to be a day when we see on the news that we are in a world war. Its ongoing and quiet.
History books may say that it started around 9/11, but depends on who writes the history…
If I see a mushroom cloud I’m running towards it. No need to go to work, no need to pay back mortgage.
Just wait, the shockwave will get to you soon enough.
Im currently on the ostrich defence.
I stopped watching the news, I blocked as much news as I can on here and reddit.
Piece of piss.
A friend of mine just got her first real break from her 3-yo-kid in a while… she caught up on the news… by the next day she was in the ER having a full panic attack she couldn’t stop.
She’s a therapist.
The people who have the power to burn it all down are unstable. I am concerned, but helpless.
If we’re talking the bomb? Not very.
Climate change is a bigger fish to fry.
They mention climate change in their statement
Climate change won’t end the world, though that isn’t to say it won’t make things hell on earth. Nuclear war however could very well end all life on earth.
Life would still exist. I don’t think there is anything humanity could do that would completely end life. There is life living tens of kilometers underground in the lithosphere and life in such remote caves that have been separated from all other environments for millions of years.
We could create and detonate about a ton of antimatter. That should be enough to crack the planet again.
