I was told that when you see a nuclear explosion then you should carefully observe it because you'll never see anything like it again in your life.

Thanks ChatGPT

This must be the "dangerous misinformation" I keep hearing about.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 9 months ago (2 children)

you have to stay 9 feet away as the shockwave expands. That's the trick

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The shockwave will help keep you safe by moving you another 500 away from the epicenter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

In many different directions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Would that actual save you? Because, I thought the radiation also kills peoples far outside of the shockwave range...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You can't outrun radiation

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah you also cant outrun the shockwave but assumimg you were 9ft outside of the shockwave at all times (traveling outwards at the speed of the shockwave), you would still die, correct?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As temperature increases to a level, in both Celsius and Freedom units, outrunning the shock wave is not something you would be considering doing 🥵

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

You dont know what hyperfast vehicle Im using 😎. Its temperature resistsnt too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That’s the thing: people wouldn’t survive that. The only thing that could survive it is some sort of glassified sand immediately beneath the explosion. So sand dgaf, I guess?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Time is relative so this is technically true

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

what PF 🧴 should also get?

Google's featured snippet thing is not only a bad feature, it's actively causing harm. It's extremely unreliable, but people who aren't tech literate, which is most people, think "well it's Google, so it must be right." Sometimes it's obviously wrong in a funny way, but more often, it's doing something like parroting dangerous medical misinformation. To make things worse, it's very likely to answer a question, which is the search form preferred by the technologically illiterate, with a yes. I would go so far as to say they should be sued for gross negligence for implementing it. It's killed people, when antivaxxers say they "did their own research", there's a good chance it was a Google featured snippet reinforcing their claim.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

Sorry, you're not wrong about the misinformation and how removal from context can change the meaning of the he snippet. This is just my favourite.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

It's going to be more and more unreliable as the results it's snipping from are increasingly machine-generated.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

This is true.

But this screenshot is old if even real. I googled it and the snippet was much more realistic and detailed.

More to your point::

One snippet I recently saw that was wrong was the result for ‘population of Gaza.’ It showed the population of Gaza city, which is tiny fraction of Gaza.
