You cant naturally assume that all Japanese civilians were okay with this (though there also werent any significant resistance movements like in Germany), but if you would have been okay with nuking Nazi Germany, you have to also be okay with the nukes on Japan. In the end, these bombs ironically probably saved millions of American, Japanese and maybe Soviet lives

    Jokes aside, I think this is one of my favourite VSauce videos. I especially love the quote "We have weapons that can mimic the winds on Neptune and the furnace of the Sun, yet we cannot predict the weather in half an hour's time" (paraphrasing, the actual quote is different). That along with the story of Kokura and how it was spared, and the classic old Micheal ramblings turning into a cohesive narrative complemented beautifully by Jake Chudnow makes this video an absolute mind joy to watch

      ​@lookoutforchris it's been a reported phenomenon that there's a difference between people born before/around and after the atomic bomb. Dan Carlin has a podcast episode about it.
      People remember/talked about life before the bomb and how there was less Existential dread. People born after a certain point don't notice the guillotine hanging over their head because it's always been there. The people who remember/talk about life before the bomb are getting older and fewer.

      @InitiateDee 5 років тому +239

      Well considering that uppon death creepers drop 0 to 2 gun powder, and by knowing that one TNT block requires 5 of those, we can simply calculate it. To know how much tnt is in a single block we need to have a rough estimate of how much sticks are there, and how big are they. So we take a TNT block, look at its texture and we get a number. 16 sticks. By knowing how big is a Minecraft block (1 m), we have a estimate that there are 16 tnt sticks that each are 1x0.25x0.25 meters big.
      So a very, VERY rough estimate on my part would be that one creeper explosion is an equivalent to the explosion of 1 to 6 sticks of TNT that are 1x0.25x0.25 meters big. How much that is in Newtons or in explosion radius I have no idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    When I was younger, I recorded a bunch of vsauce videos and I would have the audio play while I was falling asleep. This was one of them, and it was one of the most terrifying ones to wake up to in the middle of the night. The tone of the music in the middle just gives me the chills when I’m awake, let alone in the pitch dark at 1:00am
