  • What to do if there is a nuclear strike near you.

  • Its possible there could be a limited exchange. We as Humans have set off hundreds of nukes during tests over the years and were still here now; so unless we go all out there will be regions largely uneffected. And Nuclear winter is unlikely in a limited exchange too. If you could get away fron areas that got hit youd have a pretty normal life assuming world leaders came to their senses after the first few and didnt keep launching. Especially if its just a few tactical nukes then youd only be super effected if you were in the immediate area.

    There would likely be economic collapse as markets crash and people panic buy supplies tho everywhere. But that wouldn't last too long.

  • ya canned foods are great. Little bulky and heavy to store sadly tho. Especially if your gonna have to flee the area taking them can be a challenge. Theyre a great solution if you want more than a few weeks of food stored tho and have the space.

  • You can still do a lot of this. If you live in an apartment complex talk to neighbors and make a plan together and share the costs of stuff like masks. (You can buy a multi-pack and all take 1 for example). Im pretty broke too and am just doing what i can. Even if all we manage to do is reduce our radiation exposure slightly it could be the difference between a slow painful death, and survival.

  • important note in a nuclear incident there are 2 dangers from radiation. 1 yes is the radiation itself like you mentioned, but even more dangerous is radioactive fallout particles. If these particles get on your body or in your body theyll sit there giving off radiation constantly right next to you, or inside you. This is why isolation is so important as these particles will settle over time and not be floating in the air. Plus they have short half lives. So even if you had a lead lined room if you go in there with fallout particles in your lungs your fucked anyway. So mask up, goggle up, keep them off your body, clean yourself off, discard all clotheing, etc.

  • Thoughts on Mansa Musa?

    Jump

  • There is only so much demand for gold. It only has a value thats high because its rare. If you have a ton its not very valuable anymore. Especially back then before modern technology. We have a lot of practical uses for gold today back then it was basically just used because it doesnt tarnish and its hard to find so its a good store of value.

  • Thoughts on Mansa Musa?

    Jump

  • Thats not how money works tho. U cant just convert gold into modern value and say he was the richest ever. If you brought a glock back to that time itd be worth more then all his gold combined to the people then. He had lots of gold sure but lots of gold only gets you so far. Thats why he was just throwing it around. He wasnt generous he just didnt need it. Itd be like if you had an unlimited supply of burritos. Youd be giving everyone you met burritos cuz its not like u can eat them all yourself.

    Back then trade was pretty limited. Ya he could buy lots of stuff with his gold, but the logistics of that time would be a big limiter. Someone today worth say 100 million has a lot more functional ability to purchase things then mansa musa did.

    There is a point at which having more gold just doesnt make you any richer in actuality. Sure numerically if you have 400 billion $ of gold your richer then if you have 300 billion $ of gold, but back then at that point its just rocks. Just like how the towns he went to and tossed gold around the value of gold collapased there his own gold had a much lower value due to the sheer supply.

    Its similar to how people say an asteroid may have 3 trillion$ of platinum in it. Sure now it does but as soon as you mine the asteroid and that platinum floods the market its gonna be worth a lot less. So whoever goes and mines the asteroid isnt actually gonna have 3 trillion $.

    Even if you teleported Mansa Musa to modern day with all his gold as soon as he starts selling it the value of gold is gonna plummet. He is rich no doubt, but the dollar value of the gold itself is just sensationalism.

  • At what point does a war become a world war?

  • Thats not actually happening fyi. Theyre lying to you.

  • How do I stay optimistic in times like these? What meaningful things should I do as a young socialist to help with things in general?

    Jump

  • America already did internment(concentration) camps for asians once. I see no reason they wouldn't do it again. GTFO ASAP. That's the acronym every non white American should live by right now.

  • Dude i am so jealous if i had Chineae citizenship id be on the next one way flight to Chongqing. Get out of the US while u can is my advice.

  • Has anyone else noticed the trend of weird background music on YouTube videos?

    Jump

  • Im more concerned about the AI voiceover videos making it impossible to find those really useful low quality videos where some indian guy reviews an obscure piece of tech.

  • Who here is on Bluesky already besides me?

  • I really dont see the appeal. Dont intend to use it. i never used twitter either tho.

  • What was the most interesting thing you have seen happen at another table while you were eating out at a restaurant?

    Jump

  • Old lady got mad at her husband threw a fork at him, missed, and it flew across the restaurant and hit a child in the head. The mother was not happy. Luckily it wasnt the pointy end that hit.

  • When creating a story with minority protagonists, is it better not to create white male characters?

    Jump

  • Make art you would like and dont worry about what people want. Youll develop an audience who like the same things you do.

  • Do you honestly see yourself ever retiring and how?

    Jump

  • Depends. What does retiring mean? Does it count if society collapses and i go live in the woods?

  • What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)

    Jump

  • Baofeng AR-5RM Handheld Radio. Costs under 30$ and is extremely useful and versatile. Can pick up just about any frequency youd need, VHF, UHF, AM, FM, GMRS, etc. and while not waterproof its built very tough. Could probably use it to beat somebody to death then pick it back up and have a conversation on it.
