Current Events > $100,000,000 but a ~50MT nuclear bomb detonates somewhere on Earth.

(+) Yeah! (+)

i took the deal and used that link

i live in the north island of NZ so i'm either underwater or fucking dead now lmao.
edit nvm just used the link below and 50mt isn't as apocalyptic as i thought it'd be

So do I, and I would be quite happy about a fallout-free blast that far away. Close enough to see, far enough away to not do any harm. Gotta admit it would be cool to watch a nuke go off as long as no one's harmed.

No deal.
---

Hell no, not worth the risk.
---

hell no. the chance of mass casualties is not worth any amount of money
---

Nope, no deal! I'm not willing to risk causing that much havoc somewhere in the world.
---

100% chance I take the deal.
---

Looks like I got a det. point off the coast of dukuduku south africa. Unlikely this would cause more than 100 deaths, and im ok with that

You can also use this site to calculate the blast and casualties of any bombs.

I took the deal and blew up some land in northern Botswana with some estimated 3500 deaths and 28k injuries.

Here's a page to pick random coordinates:

You gotta be kidding me, i got a russian city that is on the frontier of russia and north korea.

Fuuu I blew up some coastal area of Brazil and estimated 82kish deaths and 200kish injuries.
---

North Korea, China, Russia, and Canada while the rest were in the drink. I pick Canada so those heathens will finally be purged.
---

Odds are in my favor, and that's good money. Deal.
---

Anywhere on Earth? Well statistically the Earth is 70% ocean
---

Deal

Just off the coast of southern India

;_;
---

Btw if it explodes in the ocean wont it cause mega tsunamis that would cause more death and destruction than if it just went off on any non-city landmass?

It's the same size as the Tsar Bomba -- fucking devastating, most powerful bomb ever made, but not enough to cause a mega Tsunami I think.

Might cause a good sized one though in a localized area depending on how close it is to land.

I didn't take the deal and glad I didn't. That random coordinate generator gave me some remote looking place in Mongolia, but I don't know how many people are near there.
---

Took the deal.

Went to the coordinate generator and got a spot about 400km off the coast of California. According to the NukeMap thingy, it wasn't even hot enough to burn dry wood on land. So basically I get $100m and California gets a cool light show.

EDIT: It took 9 tries to get random coordinates that resulted in even a single injury (middle of the U.K., near Manchester, with 48k fatalities and 400k injuries). And then another 11 spins to get a second one with injuries. Strangely, the second one apparently would result in 25,460 fatalities but only 520 injuries. O_o

Likely there's a small town somewhere in the blast that gets wiped out completely, but aside from that only a very sparse rural population.

I hope the results of this poll are not an accurate reflection on society because if it is we're all completely fucked

I got Saudi Arabia. This type of bomb could blast somewhere back to the stone age but since Saudi Arabia is still in the stone age, it's not going to be too bad.

Anybody, ignoring the pathetic trolls and edgy kids, who would legitimately take this deal should be force fed glass for the good of humanity.

It's easy to deny when you're posting on a message board and know the deal isn't real. But let's not pretend you'd decline $100m that easily, especially given the overwhelmingly high chance it does no harm whatsoever (let alone does no harm just to you).

Tsar Bomba was 50MT.
If it was dropped over Paris, it would destroy the whole city.

Leave it because I'm not a psychopath

Actually I think it's easier to say yes on a message board when you know that you won't really be killing anyone.

True, that would also be a factor, yeah. And despite the low probability of hitting yourself, just the fact that it's nonzero might deter some people too.

There is no amount of money that would cause me to gamble with a nuke. Not only do I not need nor care about money, I'm not a monster. An asshole, but not a monster.
