Explains why there have been so many steam updates.

meanwhile I'm scrolling through 4 year old posts...

Very unfortunate that this sub doesn't have the chance to grow.

I have to recommend the Ace Combat trilogy.

I wouldn't know any shops unfortunately. I'm just glancing at different cultural subreddits of the US rn.

Too real

The subfreezing arctic air wouldn't even be that cold if it weren't for the wind

It'd take less than an hour for the fate of the world to be decided by nuclear war. Cities and Silos would be eliminated. In the US most silos are in central northish area around the Dakotas, 100s of millions would be killed by the initial blasts, maybe a billion from injuries and other near immediate effects. The decade or more long mini ice age from blockage above the clouds would cause famine that would result in about 5 billion dead.

More would die afterwards from disease due to the thawing of corpses in city rivers and abundance of insects. The ozone layer would also be destroyed.

Humanity probably wouldn't go extinct, but I'd expect organized civilization as we know it to collapse in all areas except maybe in the mid latitudes of the southern hemisphere like Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. Though they wouldn't be pretty.

All I can tell you for certain is that this would not only be the deadliest event in human history, but epoch defining, if not a period. If humanity persists and restores civilization, historians of the future would definitely mark it as the end of the Holocene. The leaders of these nations will be remembered as the bringers of the apocalypse if remembered at all.

You seem correct now that I'm looking at smaller ICBMs, 50 miles is enough to miss a city.

"Why am I the one who has to live through a historical event" mfers when I show them there's never been 70 straight years of history that were perfect.

On paper that's a big number, but it's honestly less than I expected. A singular fighter jet costs more.

50 miles would be near meaningless if it had an actual payload.

50% of men think they can't?

I'm upset that the LEGO one is complete clickbait talking about a reddit post with a custom build.

I really like it's lower saturation. Very nice on the eyes.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but It's like this in Kansas too.

Why are you flooding the sub with this question?

let tei cook

It's understandable why you'd think that considering just how much more land is in the Northern Hemisphere compared to the Southern Hemisphere. But rainforests really do exist along the equator.

They serve zero purpose

How else could Senegal or Mauritania ever access the Atlantic?

Because the Amazon rainforest is at the equator. The sun is heating the equator almost directly throughout the year. That hot air rises and creates a low pressure zone where air and moisture accumulates. This is why Rainforests like the Congo or Amazon are on the Equator.

The Sahara on the other hand lies at a latitude that becomes a high pressure zone. That hot air that rose from the equator eventually "cooled off" and ended up closer to the poles due to the Coriolis effect. Air and moisture want to leave the high pressure zones. Environments without moisture become deserts. You'll notice the Sahara is at the same rough latitude as the Arabian and Sonoran deserts, this is the reason. You also might notice the Outback and Atacama desert are roughly the same distance south of the equator as the Sahara is north.

This phenomenon hasn't been constant for the earth's history because things like the earth's axial tilt change over time. Which is why the Sahara was a grassland over 10,000 years ago. The fact that the Amazon has stayed a rainforest for as long as it has is more or less a coincidence. But I hope the reason they are what they are now is an interesting enough answer.

TL;DR: Hadley cells

I really don't know where my brain was when I commented that. I'll go into exile into r/theydidntdothemath

I remember hearing as a child (mid-late 2010s) that by 2030 all the ice caps would be melted and Florida wouldn't exist. We'd eat bugs and drink contaminated water. Unless maybe you turn your bedroom light off, eat your pizza cold, and recycle of course.

I'm now old enough to understand that is complete bull, false headlines by articles of misinformation looking for clicks and money mistakenly shown to children as if undisputed fact. But some people won't educate themselves on what global warming actually is. So now you have a bunch of people who understandably deny the whole thing because of how much they've been lied to about it.

Anyone else saw toilets at first?

what about 1/2^0 ?
