Do you think we will be ever forced to live underground?
The Infographics Show nice video
The Infographics Show maybe if there will be a ww3
The Infographics Show I believe we will. What about you?
The Infographics Show I think we will because it would be a safe place for a bunker in war.
Yea I think so
I can barely survive above ground
H4HONG lol
Lmao
Ha Hong same
you and half of this world...including me right now.
*me living out of my room pretty much anyways uhhh I think I’d be fine
who else thought about Fallout when they saw this?
Blarple Barp me
Me
Blarple Barp i didnt actually

Who needs food or water when you can have stimpak
This channel is growing so fast
Keep up the good work !
It's gotten really inane. Like some idealistic college student's fantasy and I've almost unsubbed several times in the past few days due to the lack of realism & specious arguments.
What about something like the Mines of Moria, or the Lonely Mountain?
Balin's tomb has a shaft for moonlight, so they can and do get light from outside, and the Lonely Mountain has windows as well. Deep wells and lakes can serve as both food and water sources, and underground rivers can remove waste. Organic waste can be fed to pigs, and the dwarves keep flocks of mountain goats.
Inside the caves themselves, lichens and other bizarre plants might be useful as fodder for animals. Yeast in caves can also be used for preparing food and alcohol, although the wheat and fruits/veggies would need to come from trade with the outside. A meat-and-milk based Mongolian-style diet would probably be a bit easier.
How do you keep mountain goats underground, they eat plants. Where do get the massive amounts of hay for feeding this animals that will just be pooping in your underground building.
As long as I have my drill and heart I'll be fine
Underrated comment.
My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens
Yes! I was thinking that lol
theokchannel what if your arms are chopped of? then there's no point of using a drill since you can't hold it AND your legs.
I was waiting for some guren lagaan references, thank you!
" i think they screwed up we're both male"
mario fardiman lol
I saw that lol
Everyday after school i would see infographics show and my cat would come running. he loved you and your voice a lot. Everyday we will watch infographics show. Recently he passed because or cancer. i miss him like crazy! And you have no ideo what i would give to hear his meow and his little footsteps as he ran towards me. This show has kept me going. Rest in Peace little boy! i miss you so much! Alex aged 17 years. Date of birth-Unknown Date of death-August 13, 2015. Rest in peace
7d Girls I'm sorry for your loss 💔
Rest in Peace. What's his name?
Crime-Commiting Pengwings his name is Alex
*Oof*

Anyone notice that "I think they screwed up. We're both male." 😂
Marjan mvg HAHAHA!!! They make a joke!!! XD
Nah nobody else watched the video, we all just listen to his voice with our eyes closed.
EctoMorpheus that's sad u should watch the video with eyes open😛😃
Marjan mvg that was sarcasm
Lucas K. what he said also was sarcasm bro..............
After all, Vault-Tec has it's perks!
FatBurritoDog Ja! Like secret experiments conducted on the unsuspected vault dwellers.. well.. isn't that great ._.
Tunnel snakes rule!
FatBurritoDog Let's just freeze humanity
Was I the only one who noticed that insult to the united kingdom or am I just hearing wrong.
It's true tho. I live in UK and everyone is moody and depressed.
Celestial Demon such a depressing country
There are good and bad parts of the UK, like any other country. Come to the countryside, it's beautiful! :D
Lol I noticed it too. Not all of us take out how we’re feeling inside out on others around us 😂
+razza k 😂
Impressed by how much quality content you're putting out. 👏👏👏 Keep it up!
Knowledge Headquarters quality over quantity doesnt apply here
What if you have one of those really bright lamps? Are there any lamps that give vitamin D?
Yaakov Lapidus you can take vitamin D pills.
Yaakov Lapidus Vitamin D is a hormone the body produces naturally when your skin gets exposed to sunlight for about 10 minutes or so.
my bearded dragon has a uva and uvb light.
they give vitamin D.
Yaakov Lapidus I have vitamin D in my pants
Yaakov Lapidus Yes, there are artificial light that gives vitamin D. But it is extremely expensive.

Could this UA-cam Channel last forever underground? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
But what about earthquakes?🤔 Or other natural disasters.
You're pretty much screwed if that happens
OH WELL

W0W🤯
But what if you had to live underground? So no sun light, no surface water ect.
MARK HD i
As long as you have a complete food and water recycling system, it's doable, but you'll probably not be as sane or healthy.
Etc*
On the ISS (International Space Station) they have a water recycling system, and an oxygen recycling system, so it can go pretty much indefinitely. You could use some of that, the only thing they dont recycle is food
Also with enough prep time (and alternative power like geothermal) you could probably just build special lamps for underground farmes and as replacement for real sunlight.
Low key there some shade at the UK
Shade lol
Super rich folks preparing for the end of the world... Fallout 4 lmaoooo
Will our government also experiment on people? You won't find out cause you aren't going to survive any disaster coming your way.
EXPOSED!
this war of mine -it's a better game-
Or yaknow fallout in general...
Same to you
i never leave my moms basement
And i never leave the child molesters basement.
yuugen ...I have no words
Overrated
My mom wont let me out of the basement oh no she is coming i
And now I keep imagining you Using 12 hours finding this stuff on net
Thanks to seeing underground facilities in video games and other media, I, too, have had thoughts about living or working underground. I always thought that being underground would suit me since I needed a break from the outside world and its judgmental shackles every now and then. I understand now that being underground is actually a mixed blessing and that I'd need some sunlight on several occasions even if I'm several feet below ground.
_Can_ we?
???
Yes
If you are a billionare, why not?
M A - Lmao, well I’m not even close to being that
Technically yes, but the bigger question is "do you want it?"
If you only have 2 of every animal it wouldn't work because they need genetic diversity
sperm banks
would be better to have 2 girls & access to the seed & dna bank & your own supplies of the animals sperm & eggs, then you can just implant different genetic eggs into your girl, with a back up girl in case one dies.
With some of the talk of using surrogates to de-extinct species, I wonder, if you were really prepared, just how few animal species you could actually get away with keeping live in the early days when everything was limited. Could you put a tiger egg into a lion for example?
Genetic mutations.
Welp I guess Minecraft was wrong
So you're telling me Noah's arc was a lie?

That’s the one problem with this living underground permanently/indefinitely. You’re going to go crazy from lack of human contact, not to mention that if any problems arise in your underground home, you may be forced to leave.
Also, you may have need of other resources eventually, so you’ll have to trade/barter with other people for other supplies.
Also there’s the issue of personal hygiene, showering, bathing, soap, shampoo and other toiletries. That all hinges on having running water that will never run out, say the impossible happens and your underground home has no running water. What then?
You may have a steady supply of food to last years and years, but without water you’re done for. Personally I have a survival bag I put together myself, if shit goes down, I’m going nomadic.
What if you get sick, or hurt? Unless a doctor is in your group, and you have stocked medical supplies, you'll be in deep doo-doo.
I am getting smarter and smarter watching these videos!
Jeej nog een Nederlander, haha.
Sara Williams I think he was being sarcastic.
Gotta add that British Weather joke lol
**FALLOUT FLASHBACKS INTENSIFIES**
I came for the adverts
Hmm someone is playing too much fallout.
22ndKayBox wanna pay me some caps
NCR, you can’t get in here without paying 2000 caps or 1000 NCR dollars
12 year Olds who already live in their moms basement: yeah, I think I'll be fine
Once you run out of food, there's nothing like cannibalism.
So you eat your own limbs
Unless you breed animals in there
If you had the money, prior to the "end of days", you could locate an underground waterline and create a pipeline connecting to it with a filtration system. This would also help because this would enable you to be able to create a mini-hydro power system. Also thinking of important foods to grow down there, you would very much want to grow quinoa because it has every vital amino acid that you need for a day :)
Are you calling me grumpy. Come down to the park you ill keep you on 10 toes.
Uwot m8 I'll ave ya nan
Patrick Bateman Scottish?
I’m from London
london too lol
I'll give it an hour, I'll die without internet.
Make it half an hour.
Never thought about this...
Never do and your child-like innocense will remain
MrFoxisSarcastic is that sarcasm 🤔
I love that damn movie.
I've been designing my own underground bunker. I thought about solar panels too, but those'll probably get stolen... I think geothermal would be too hard, so I decided to just go with nuclear, like in nuclear submarines. With that amount of power I could power sun lamps too. Although I'm not sure if sun lamps can replace the actual sun...
Trust me the general public will be hunting down these bunkers.
K Lor. Those shows were they boobytrap them are crazy. Beware of flamethrower.
hpensive if we can't get in they won't be getting out.
Staying underground turns you into Jack Torrence
Who Thought of Fallout?
When you realize youre half way through the video and have no idea whats going on because you've been thinking of building a bunker
Infographics show again answering a really interesting question!Keep it up👍
Farming insects is far more effective to get protein and nutrition, while taking little water and space.
what would eat those insects?
Depends: can I still use wifi
Right lol
Wifi would be useless, as the places where the databases where parts of the internet are stores will either be fried by EMP's from nukes, or break down due to lack of maintenance in the case of a pandemic. Make sure you got as much 'entertainment' as you can get saved on large amounts of SSD's(solid state drives).
I don't think you would even have service tbh
Damn people preparing to live underground is sad.
Rather than putting that money towards fixing the problem, since it means they'll get a LITTLE less money for themselves. Yeah, sad indeed.
Is it me or does this sound exactly like the fallout storyline...
I did it for 21 years so far...
Tovarasul Ceausescu Cu Elena?
L
All i can think is Fallout
The UK is so grey and miserable which is why we invaded all the nice warm countries
and then you got scared of all the scary animals & ran away lol
Lilac Lizard Yeah sure that's what happened
So tell me are you basically teaching us how to Fallout 4 the right way?
I've been stuck inside dealing with law stuff through a divorce and went outside for the first time in months yesterday, not even exposing myself to UV. The place I live in is dark and every time I turn the lights on my ex-husband turns them off (he is fanatical about saving energy and terrorizes me for buying things wrapped in plastic). I can tell you exactly the effects it has on you. It helps the skin. UV ages the skin terribly, but it also disinfects. It makes you ridiculously pale. It only causes depression if associated with isolation. The melatonin effect is actually an issue, as even though it is produced in the body more too much has the opposite effect, so it can cause insomnia. The most noticeable factor for me is difficulty adapting to light and oxygen or pollution. I have severe allergies I never had before and have been breaking out in hives. Heart problems are the most notable, and only wine helps. It also has negatively affected my EQ. I definitely don't recommend.
You missed your shot at a Fallout reference...
On the ISS (International Space Station) they have a water recycling system, and an oxygen recycling system, so it can go pretty much indefinitely. You could use some of that, the only thing they dont recycle is food
Just gonna freeze for a couple hundred years and become a vault dweller.
_laughs in complete hermit_
Can you grow weed underground?
Yes with some fairly advanced hydroponics
Yup
Hoss20 or basic
Ofc you can...
senseimonkey
Hypothetically, yes.
The notion of a human-sized Hobbit-home is pretty appealing to me -- it's just I've never thought of it as being exclusively an underground life. I mean, Hobbits come out into the sun, congregate, farm the land, and operate as surface dwellers in Tolkien's fiction. They just go underground to rest, each night.
You only need a UV lamp. No need for a sunroof. Also a sunroof would not exactly suffice because most glass blocks UVB light. The synthesis of Vitamin D only requires the use of the vitamins required to make choldesterol and UV light. I'm pretty sure just a tanning bed would be enough to make up for the lack of sunlight.
exactly! You could probably even get away with a basic reptile lamp, but 5 minutes a day with a tanning bed, or even small "facial tanner" would easily cover it. The depression's seperate though, but it's easily treated by spending time in the room with your plant growing lamps
So don’t forget , always construct a ultimate high tech basement just in case Godzilla will attack you.
All I need is Jet and Chems and I’ll do it.
Funny how one of his earlier videos was about Stereotypes . Then he goes Stereotyping.
I swear i feel smarter everytime i watch one his videos
All I would need is my vinyl collection, a record player, and a giant hamster running it.
58 gallons of water a year for drinking? I'm easily double that lol
Yeah if you only had 57 gallons of water it Might last you half a year of significant dehydration without any kind of recycling system, but realistically it'll last you a bit over 100 days, depending on heat, exercise and how much you weigh.
agreed! well over double that, just for drinking, but your also going to get really sick if you can't wash at all!
A properly structured hydroponic system should be able to clean the urine prettywell though, especially if you include stuff like spirulena in it or biological filters
As a former submariner I find I can live below ground very easily. In fact, there are a number of benefits to underground dwellings.
In the fallout universe I sure will live underground
Kitty sure with me
Yes, we can survive living underground indefinitely. Artificial lighting can replicate the solar spectrum. If the whole point of living underground is that nobody else is aware of your dwelling then obviously you can't rely on any equipment left above ground. Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity and hot water. A water purification system can be used to recycle urine. Sewage and food waste can be turned to compost for indoor vertical farms and fish ponds. A large community of close friends and families or even a small village can live underground for the rest of their lives with just the technology available today. A well balanced diet of fresh fish, mushrooms, vegetables, fruits and nuts; along with an active lifestyle should reduce the need for pharmaceuticals. The isolation could eliminate the chance of infectious diseases.
The Metro games series answers this question
Lack of sun making people grumpy would explain the predisposition of British people had me dead
“We” you mean the rich people
You can live forever udergroud you'll need just a lot of space:
-for living:
bedrooms,living room,pool, golf course,cinema (spending the most time),gym,scool,bathrooms, library, etc.
- for sustaining-life:
water tanks (with filtration sistems,geting water from soil),
food ( storage area with a lot of long lasting food,and farm for growing vegetables end fruits,and for growing animals(not a lot)
-for healthiness and sanitation etc:
storage area for construction material (fixing and building things),area for production:
toilet paper, clothes,etc.,
area with tanks with gasoline, fuel
for running generators or you can have nuclear reactors like submarines which is going to be protected area is going to be different section which is protected from blowing up and radiation,so room for generators,
lab for making drugs (medication)
and sanitation(for cleaning),
area with lots of chemicals and medication,area for the plumbing system which is going to make water like in the space station and poop for farming, air filter filtration with oxygen tanks, it will have special lights which are gonna copy the Sun's function, server room with my favourite movies,series,music and if is still be emitted, satelite which can go on the surface and recive and transmit Communications and connect with satellites and have Internet or with just cable Internet until it stops working (multiple cables),room full of clothes,air systems( heating and Cooling),room full of seeds, fast growing mostly,
safety area with a lot of guns armor everything,
hospital ,you'll have also solar panels for solar energy and be connected with your bunker,
have special safe room which is going to be protected by earthquakes,floods (bunker in bunker),
I will
I'm basically living in my parent's basement, and I'm just fine
You probably didn’t spend enough time on air. Kind of crucial. Even if the surface is not toxic, you need significant ventilation systems. If it IS toxic, then you have to have either massive filtration or sustainable oxygen generation - that’s really complex and energy-intensive.
just take vitamin D
stephen streater Vitamin D is a hormone the body produces naturally when your skin gets exposed to sunlight for about 10 minutes or so.
i meant in supplement form
stephen streater *Just take vitamin xD*
Shhh I’m Not Here Stop.
I love how you used Chernobyl for the toxic-hell part.
Elon Musk is building a Mars base so he can live there instead
Loui Coleman he would just sit and watch with popcorn as earth melts
mars is like the shitter hotter version of earth
april ⏳ Not if Elon has anything to say about it.
It's weird watching this during covid, knowing isolation is insanity inducing
Survive underground? I could, because I will be playing Fallout.
Sunlight and water are VERY VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR BODY!
Elon Musk has the right idea.
Hero Fahed
What? Get to Mars?
Raf i The hell are you talking about?
Yeah, sure because Death is totally clueless about the underground.
*MANS NOT HOT*
NO KETCHUP
RAW SAUCE

I think us British people would survive quite well. We only see the sun for about 2 months every year.
Maybe I'll be fine too, as I'm a not night owl lol
This made me think of Vault-Tec.
Same 😂
Lmao true
This was kind of inaccurate as far as water purification and the need for direct sunlight.
As far as we can tell, adequate water purification is one of the easiest parts of underground survival. I've seen such devices created using simple carbon filters along with base soil, stone, and specialized fabrics. On top of that, purification tablets, of a large enough supply of powered is relatively cheap compared to alternatives.
Also, underground fish farms are also highly productive. Close examination of their biome isn't really necessary either, simple water tests with the right calibration equipment makes farming easy enough for a family to deal with. Not to mention the possibility of using algae tanks for oxygen generation.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have lights that simulate sunlight nearly identically? Solar Simulators I believe is the term used.
Same with underground farming. It is surprisingly easy to have a productive and generally simple hydroponics facility. Such facilities are not limited by solar cycles, and crops often grow 33-50% faster than their naturally stimulated brethren.
I live in England and spend about 21 hours a day indoors. What is this "sunlight" you speak of?
Chaos in the streets. That sounds hella fun
South Korea will
My bunker pipes in natural light via fibre-optic cables. I collect large areas of sunlight and focus them down a few cables and then use a solex agitator to distribute the light to where it is needed within my base. No space for horses, but the tilapia and trout hydroponics is working well.
jus eat yo vitamin gummies
Really nice video loved it
Fallout comments in 3..2...1
i'm dead that uk shade when you were talking about lack of sunlight
For the psychological stuff, I'd bring my best friend and talk to her every day for most of the day so we don't lose our minds .
Made a big mistake watching this video while playing fallout....
Did you just call me grumpy. Wtf, why. We do actually get sun you know 😂😂
Could you still make money online if there was no more net neutrality?
