According to that site, a Fallout-style post-nuclear world is quickly becoming a reality. In the Fallout universe, the U.S. and China went to war over the last remaining sources of oil, which was the reason the bombs fell in the first place.

The thought of our future is chilling to say the least. I only hope that if it comes to the point where the bombs fall I'm already dead.

Did we not Nuke Japan?
Nuking is worse then a oil spill. The radiation is supposed to keep on killing for 1000 of years.

Yeah and look at those 2 cities now. Massive skyscrappers and bunch of pretty lights. I say we need to nuke more often if that is the result.

Should be pretty cool though, better than life continuing as normal.

I hear that the dolphins use the oil as a sex lubricate.
Sea turtle sex, is like warm apple pie

How so? The status quo might not be awesome but do you really want to die in a global nuclear war or live in the post-apocalyptic aftermath? Because that might just happen when oil becomes scare. Unless a miracle that revolutionizes energy and industry happens in the next twenty years, we're eventually going to have resource wars. And some military or terrorist leader might just be crazy enough to press the big red button that sends us all straight to hell.

I don't want to live in that world. I'd rather read stories and play games that take place in that world. I don't know about you guys but, when post-apocalyptia becomes non-fiction, I'm cashing in my chips.

It had to happen though, I think we are lucky to be alive for it and to die during it probably, the end or thereabouts, A big event in human based history or at least the end to what it is currently - which is a very small bit loserish.

No, it doesn't. And that's the problem. We could do something to change the outcome. But we won't, and the bombs will fall anyways.

There is still time. But nobody cares about tomorrow anymore; they only care about today. People couldn't care less about what happens in the rest of the world, so long as it's "not in their backyards." But it's been that way for decades, and you'd think a civilization-threatening direction might matter to people, and they'd maybe want to change. But it seems like they don't care about that either, so long as it doesn't happen during the course of their lives. It's the social evolution of NIMBY, but in terms of time instead of location. Because of this, I feel we're all living on borrowed time -- at least at the level of civilization we're living in now.

On the upside, I guess the future looks bright if you count the massive flashes of light from global nuclear war.

The likelihood of a global nuclear war is just ridiculously low. Nobody is going to be dropping nukes unless it's on alien homeworlds or the ocean floor when whales sprout legs and start their invasion.

Even if it's a resource game, you don't gain any ground by launching nukes unless you like the idea of being nuked yourself.

You never know with unstable countries such as north korea and iran in the world. If one of those guys gets hold of one.....

Regarding unstable countries, don't forget the U.S.

It's funny how all these oil spills happen right when GM is about to release their new electric turdmobile. Conspiracy!

das_ben · Jul 30, 2010

Guys, stop wishing you were living in the 80s (unless it's about the music!). Global nuclear war is a threat of the past.

Al · Jul 30, 2010

The 80's sucked, man.

NeoNite · Jul 30, 2010

Sometimes. At least there was more privacy.

M.A.D.X.W · Jul 30, 2010

The 50s were good, and the 70s. I think we should go back there, with this oil thing time will be sort of going backwards civilizationly.

seriously...

I mean, people have been predicting the "end of the world" every year since the dawn of mankind. every generation finds another reason to claim that the "end is nigh," and that we should be preparing for the lawless/post-apocalyptic/anti-societal end of days. they always perceive signs, and clues, and hints, and parallels, and draw their conclusions as such.

and nothing has ever happened.

Yep, Obama's hand is hovering over the big red button as we speak! :tinfoil3:

Wait, I though Obama's hand was hovering smoothly over a turntable, with a mic in the other hand

What did you think the big red button was?
