If the clouds smaller than your thumb head for the hills. If it's bigger than your thumb don't bother running at all.

Too bad, that its just made up. Check e.g. this video here.

Just watching old footage of actual atomic tests in the 40's and 50's with the soldiers just standing around, not in a bunker, with the cloud towering above them seemingly not too far away, you could figure out that was bullshit. Actually surprised Kyle didn't show any of those after he shows his work.

When my dad was stationed at White Sands our neighbor in Alamogordo was a local who grew up in the area north of Tularosa. He saw Trinity go off as a teen working on his family's property.

He said he didn't see the initial blast, every thing just turned black and white and then a moment later he was knocked to the ground. Said he thought the world was ending, and he was making himself ready for the rapture.

He was really pissed when the government told everyone it was just a planned demolition of ammo. Saying even a stupid kid of a dirt farmer knew explosives didn't do that.

this guy is fucking amazing in the show

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Walton Goggins is great in everything.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't knew him. Amazing actor. And amazing Sfx too

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While the show is amazing, that's not good advice. For example that first blast was very survivable from where they were. Also there's a second shockwave that goes back the other way so don't get up too quickly. Go play around on nukemap, it's fun and educational!

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago

"Try not to be near any nuclear explosions".

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw some rules like 30 years ago on survivor chances based on their behavior, I have trouble finding them but roughly it was:

Half of those who go unconscious but then wake up within an hour will survive

75% of those who vomit but stop within an hour will live, but 25% of those who cannot stop vomiting will live.

It went on into burn patients as well - it was data from the nuclear blasts in WW2. I remember it because years later when I did some medicine I realized the first one was brain injury and the second was intestinal radiation injury. If your intestines were sterilized you won’t be here much longer.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If your intestines were sterilized you won’t be here much longer.

Is this from lack of gut bacteria or infection? Or just cooked organs?

[–] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think intestineal issues are the first symptom of your DNA being so fucked you can't produce new cells. The cells in your guts needs constant replenishment and things go bad quick down there without new cells.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

So basically gut necrosis. Fucking hell that's bad.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fair enough, radiation isn't exactly kind to our bodies.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

When your digestive system has no active biome, it can't function and can't reboot itself, even if new bacteria is introduced later.

[–] FlapKap@feddit.dk 25 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I'm curious why the mouth needs to be open. Probably to somehow avoid your lungs taking damage from the pressure wave?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 13 points 2 years ago

ears/hearing

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Probably from the blast wave? FEMA's most recent advice doesn't say anything about keeping your mouth open: https://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/2024-03/ready.gov_nuclear-explosion-hazard-info-sheet.pdf

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you’re close enough to the impact to see the mushroom cloud, the only choice you get is if you want to die instantly or after a week or so.

(Not a physicist or a physician.)

[–] zout@fedia.io 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meh, Richard Feynman wrote in his biography that he saw the first mushroom cloud through a car windshield during the Manhattan project, he lived for another 40-50 years.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was pretty far away, and that was a small bomb

[–] zout@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

Still close enough to see the mushroom cloud.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fallout is highly variable, you absolutely can live. The blast wave is a bigger threat.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

If you keep the radioactive particulate out of your water you should be okay indoors

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I guess it’s for the pressure difference? If you have your mouth open, your lungs expand and contract together with the pressure difference because of the explosion.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me:

Was born in southamerica.

Get not to worry about things like nuclear bombs.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sweet. As a bonus, Colombians & Brazilians are the sexiest people on the planet so you've got all that goin for you too.

[–] Player2@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or just have your eclipse glasses handy

[–] Fungah@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

In tests they did in the 50s they told people yo cover their eyed with their hands and close their eyed and people could see the bones in the heir hands.

I always thought that was funny. Don't look at the flash. Also, the Flash is the first thing that's going to alert you to nuclear explosion. LMAO. I can already hear the VA after the first nuke gets used in war. "We have deemed your eye injury non compensable because you were trained not to look at the flash."

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You might see a meteoric fireball or three streaking towards the center of the city or airbase as the hypersonic MIRVs descend.

In general its best not to look at any meteor-looking things, as even natural meteors can explode in the atmosphere with a bright harmful flash (and produce a shockwav

[–] jmanes@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Listen man. If this is the thing that is gonna kill me, I’m looking.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Nah nah nah, it'll instantly blind you. You gotta save your sight to see the mushroom and fire storm

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Instructions unclear dick stuck in toaster

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Look, I'm just saying I'd enjoy the fireworks, better than dying of radiation sickness

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mean, "avoid" HAS always been and always WILL be the best thing to do about anything involving nuclear weapons, so.. 🤷

[–] madsnielxyz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah dont dare to be different
