Lol i think that was me!
Nukes are utter bollocks...believing in them is the dogma...
But you are still choosing to focus on all the irrelevant crap and ignore the fact that none have ever been detonated...
They are every bit as fake as the corona hoax
Also... thanks for stepping up. I didn't remember who it was. :)
If I had made a guess I would have guessed the wrong person.
Nope it wasn't you. It was sift666. He freshly reminded me with his reply. He already sent me down this rabbit hole.
He never did answer the one thing I've offered that could convince me.
Maybe sift666 had a run in with a whale and had to reinvent himself as a fresh faced and submissive little steemian!
HAH. If that is the case. Bravo and my lips are sealed. I do remember sift666 getting hammered by whales a lot back then. We discussed it.
Nah. I am focusing on the relevant. That they had no way to fake those early videos at the level they exist. Today they still haven't achieved anything with computer generated ones that are as realistic as those if you zoom in on them.
Calling it fake when the evidence they presented could not be faked at the time to me seems like choosing a dogmatic path.
If you can show me a way that those videos could have been made that would not leave noticeable artifacts in the process then you might convince me. Until then simply saying they are fake doesn't cut it.
As to things like deep fakes today... I often tell people seeing is no longer believing. Why? Most things can be easily faked.
The Nuclear explosions could likely very convincingly be faked today if a lot of effort was put into it. Every example I've seen still has the artifacts if you know what to look for.
People, static things, animals, vehicles, etc. Those can easily be faked today.
Complex particle systems with the sheer number in those explosions and behaving the way they do. That is very difficult.
"choosing to focus on all the irrelevant crap"
You mean the fact the videos from early on were not faked?
How is that irrelevant?
EDIT: Another way you might convince me. Prove to me we have time machines, devoted a ton of time to faking the video today or in the future and sent someone back into the 1940s to present the faked videos.
If this was not a complex particle system you'd have an easier time convincing me as people do amazing things with special effects. One place they still fail at is particle systems.
