As the Doomsday Clock ticks closer and closer to Earth's demise, it's probably worth a quick peak at what exactly we're in for.
Uploaded by Greg Spriggs of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore California, the videos span between 1945 and 1992, showing but a fraction of the some 10,000 filmed explosions that exist.
So sit back, apply some SPF 10,000,000 sunscreen, pop on your shades, and chill out to the sights of destruction.
The fine folks at AsapSCIENCE, for no reason whatsoever, released a new video yesterday on what would happen if a nuclear bomb dropped near you.
Be clear: This has absolutely nothing to do with scientists moving the Doomsday Clock thirty seconds forward.
Or that the reality-TV gameshow host is kind of obsessed with the power of the bomb.
Or that former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev saying "It all looks as if the world is preparing for war."
Or that there's a new nuclear arms race.
Nope, they just posted it so we know what happens in the event of a nuclear explosion.
But they did also post this video of what to do to survive nuclear war
Did anyone else ever realize this? Because I sure as hell didn't.
