Hello i watched a video simulator of a nuclear war, it would destroy and kill in the long run 500 million people, this including USA, Mexico, Canada and central America, Europe, Rusia, north Africa, how can we get prepared? Thank you They say that it will happen a nuclear winter, with minus 40 grades celsius. Can 4 great kings really protect us? How to be prepared?
This is the best i found in spanish

You will survive, your body won't.
Tanha will get you another body swiftly. You will be asleep and awake like before minus memory.

Nowadays It's far more likely that a snake might bite me. Let alone those, just a few days ago i almost got hit by what i assume was a drunk driver. I think most likely that is how my death would come about but a nuke will do it as well. I don't really care which gets me, how i live is what matters, how i die doesn't matter.
This body a nesting ground for disease anyway, barely holding up as it is..

Re: Nuclear war simulator
500 million will die immediately maybe, but billions will die in the years following of starvation, which is frankly the bigger problem as far as an existential threat. Its truly a suicidal weapon. You never know what will happen, put your refuge in the dhamma, not survivalism.

Re: Nuclear war simulator
It looks like the southern tip of Chile & Argentina might be safe. But no time to reach there if the missiles are in the air. No bueno.
Definitely duck & cover won't work.

Interestingly, the first video seemed to ignore the immediate threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons on the Ukrainian border, and went straight into a scenario in which the superpowers lob big ones at each other's major cities. That, plus the fact that the UK's nuclear facilities are not hit until well after other cities, makes me wonder how up to date and sophisticated this model is.

Re: Nuclear war simulator
Yes, the second video was much better, discussing the threat from the current war in Ukraine. I think you have to go all the way back to the Cold War to find a time when nuclear war was a real possibility.Sam Vara wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:32 pm Interestingly, the first video seemed to ignore the immediate threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons on the Ukrainian border, and went straight into a scenario in which the superpowers lob big ones at each other's major cities.

Second video says that after month 10, temperatures would drop to -32 celsius. So definetly eating guanacos in Patagonia won't work either.

Re: Nuclear war simulator
That's right, just heard that at the end of that video. I'd rather eat guacamole, but at those temps, that would even be less likely.

Re: Nuclear war simulator
Maybe google will become self-aware and take over the missiles to destroy the enemy (humans!).
Hasta la vista, baby.
