Easy to pick on the libtards and city slickers. But most country boys are more like them than they are hardened and seasoned survivors.

I like to sing this at the top of my lungs when I drive around in my truck. And while I’m doing so I chuckle to myself because I’m aware at just how inadequate I’d be at this point in a situation like we’re describing.

I'm not saying it would wipe out the human race. But I do believe the resulting chaos would result in the loss of a pretty hefty percentage of the global population.
This event would be where third world countries would thrive. Many of us have lost the primal essential skills to survive
 
and the remaining alive still have nukes, agi, chemical or biological weapons, etc.

They’d have them but be unable to use them because no power for production, fuel, charging batteries…. Or power to simply operate the push button launch all because internet is gone
 
Do the Nuclear vote include Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) Weaponry? Only thing I know about it is by movies, so I can be completely ignorant. But EMP detonation in the atmosphere that short circuit all electrical devices for thousands of miles seem like the weapon of the future. Then whoever the winner is rule the earth for a few hundred years until Thanos come.
 
I do nuclear work, Chernobyl isn't even close to what could happen in todays age.
I think we need to clarify if we're talking about weapons or reactor failure.

Nuclear weapons can be devastating but they cant cause the disaster that Carl Sagan et al thought they could cause.

Chernobyl was just a disaster waiting to happen and the soviets were dumb enough to run tests leading to the failure without proper containment systems which kept three mile island from doing the same thing.

Or how about the one in Japan that was damaged from a hurricane (typhoon?) Nuclear failures can be minimized and there is no giant explosion like in Hollywood movies but…. Chernobyl was devastating to that area and it wasn’t anywhere near enough people or large enough to do what some of our nuclear plants could now. If there was a reactor melt down at the one in Ga, many people would be effected by it because we simply have too many people in close proximity to each other.
 
Three mile island gave out what amounts to one chest x-ray worth of radiation. We need more nuculear(bush pronunciation) and proper containment wessels(Chekhov pronunciation) in the future, not less.

I am talking about massive reactor meltdown. The half life of some of them won't be in a timeline we can handle. We can only build lead casks or containments so big before issues start going down into the earth or natural breakdown causes failure and leakage. With the amount of reactors and plants on the earth right now, and resources that go with that, if we ever had multiple failures with any adding outside factors it could be catastrophic.

Even a powerful solar flare could cause enough of a magnetic pulse to kill all electronics on Earth
 
I should also add that in a solar flare we would have approximately 6 minutes warning, thats it
 
Well if the inter-web fails I see a whole generation just giving up on survival.... you know which generation I am referring to, what do they have to live for with no inter-web or cell phones?... = (30%).... then the rest of the non prepers struggle to get what they can by killing each other for food and supplies = (25%) and then the struggle to survive leading the non prepers to go after the prepers for their food and supplies along with starvation, freezing and dying from the elements thru the first winter = (25%) so at this point the population has decreased 80% which consists of a few warlords in the cities and a bunch of rednecks and prepers living comfortably (the whole state of WV and half of AK not even realizing anything happened) Plus disease will set in and take out 50% of the remaining population and as soon as we all seem to be getting a handle on it... well the neglected nuclear power plants left unattended will implode killing the majority of the rest of the human race along with the earth... that last human on earth looks up to the sky and whispers.... I am a saddle hunter.

or God beats us to it... I voted the latter...

He seems to know more about what's going on than most, kind of eerie sometimes! MJK, not necessarily Douglas Adams to be clear.
I vote exceeding carrying capacity.
