Atomic ‘Doomsday Clock’ ticks closer to midnight REACTION | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!!

They had to move the clock to 89 seconds to secure some more donations🤣

6:47 "It looks like an old-boys money club, to me." The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is a non-profit organization.

[@dner75-xh9le]

"Non-profit" almost always guarantees an "old-boys money club". Where have you been?

[@ChrisAdamscomedy]

The Doomsday Clock is one of the funniest jokes scientists have ever done.

[@nullakjg767]

Must be sad knowing youll never be as a funny as a humorless scientist.

Max, both Einstein and Oppenheimer worked at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton and often met together. My mother was Einstein’s press Secretary and Oppenheimer’s secretary.

I've spent my life in Los Angeles. From the time I was 7 or 8 years old, we were told about the coming of the "Big One" (earthquake). Even living through countless earthquakes in 53 years, the Big One hasn't happened. Thank GOD for climate change. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here right now. "How dare you!" stomps the screaming child in the corner, born yesterday. "Oooo shiny!" scream the voters. "Hmm.. there's money to be made here!" scream the politicians. This stupid Doomsday Clock has been there my entire life. It only appears when liberal scientists don't get their way. As to Mike's point about the African nations, it seems to me they have unlimited financial resources from China. I think Europe should also take note.

A metaphorical clock is as nurturing to the mind as a picture of oxygen is to a drowning man

[@robtintelnot9107]

Surprised Daz has only heard of this recently. I've known it my whole life.

[@fluffylittlebear]

It's a bunch of nonsense.

[@Jimbow-sz9kh]

Scientists couldn't figure that pandemic out for the life of them. So I'll totally take heed of their doomsday countdown 😂

[@SpicyGherkin69]

Doomsday clock is as big a scam as “I got a star I’ll sell you”

[@dner75-xh9le]

Are you saying that the two hundred acres I bought in Mare Supmans on the Moon is worthless? Damn, I was snake-oil sales-manned!

[@jake51515]

Until these clowns give up their jets, I don't wanna hear about climate change. Until these clowns quit provoking these wars with nuclear powered states, I don't wanna hear about nukes.

[@JeremiahHildebrandt]

Amen! 👏👏👏

[@Jimbow-sz9kh]

Cool it with the common sense buddy. Our leaders and the vast majority of voters on both sides can't handle this novel concept

[@TyOneWorld66230-y]

> 78% of Democrats say climate change is a "major threat to the country" compared to 23% of Republicans. Overall, a majority of U.S. adults (54%) describe climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being. - Pew Research, 2023

[@damonbryan7232]

They have been talking about this garbage since 1950. By their prediction back then. We were never supposed to get through the 80's

[@beardedchair3]

Humanity betting on itself to lose 😅

[@JacketisRichard]

Fun fact about today's climate: While California was getting wildfires I was on the other side of the country in South Carolina, just a few miles from the beach, getting 6 inches of snow. If you've ever visited South Carolina you know how ridiculous the idea is for it to get snow, let alone 5-6 inches. Edit: Just looked it up, it was the most snowfall we've had since 1989.

[@catcountry0099]

How is a rare event of snow considered climate change?

[@JacketisRichard]

@catcountry0099 i didn't say it was climate change, I said it's a fun fact about today's climate. Because it's a fact and I had a lot of fun with it.

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

@@JacketisRichard Another fun fact. The LA wildfires wiped out 18 years of carbon reduction in California! LOL. It just shows nature itself has WAY more of an effect on climate change than we do

[@mikeokeefe1824]

From what I understood we were closer to midnight during the early 1960s Bay of Pigs event. This doomsday clock existed then

[@thekegster92]

Daz you don’t get it because it’s a little above your intelligence level 😅

[@fluffylittlebear]

It's certainly an intelligent scam.

[@moe92870]

The Doomsday Clock has been around since 1947

[@mdskydive7245]

So said the video.

[@moe92870]

@mdskydive7245 Oh, I guess I need to start watching these videos for more than 20 seconds. Oops 😬 sorry

[@sshimmy2258]

And it's been irrelevant for the last 50

[@smurlik]

Imagine that guy who has the balls to say that it's just a natural rotation of earth what causes all this.

[@RC-13]

The real question is does the Doomsday Clock have stoppage time? 😄

[@RobBrown88]

Please rotate the camera so that all you blokes are centered. When I adjust the video to fill my screen, Mike disappears.

[@willvr4]

What the hell does climate change have to do with nuclear war?

[@rahulpaul3929]

Most people just don't give a shit about climate change or nuclear war. People just want to get on with their day to day lives. Climate change is an issue, I get that, but we have our own problems to deal with. It's probably the last thing on my mind 😄

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Agree. China and India are the main countries causing it, and they do NOTHING to reduce it while we all have to hear a bunch of people on our side of the world constantly whining and crying about what WE should do.

[@TyOneWorld66230-y]

According to recent surveys, around two-thirds of Americans express concern about climate change, with a significant portion (around 60%) stating they worry "a great deal" or "a fair amount" about it; this means a majority of Americans consider climate change a significant issue. Source: Google AI

[@rahulpaul3929]

@@TyOneWorld66230-y ... First of all I was not talking about American okay? And second of all, you need to do some more extensive research mate (not just what you believe on the socials) and finally, you are probably from America, so I guess you don't have a great concept of the WORLD. So don't even try to attempt to lecture me with the facts, figures and so fourth please; I'll send you them....

[@TyOneWorld66230-y]

1-I've studied climate change since the late 80s and have accumulated a great deal of knowledge. 2-I quoted google AI which sourced recent public opinion surveys. I'm one of the few people on this hellhole website who provides sources for their comments. Most everyone else makes sheet up. The rest are bots. 3-If you don't like replies then please contact YT and tell them to offer a block function. Until then, you may get replies to your comments.

Any coincidence this is right when Trump is president? I think not!!!!

This stupid clock has been at 1 minute to midnight forever. Especially when the Cold War was going on in the 80's. Relax DeNiro

Read the book of Revelation. We're heading into that if things don't slow down our stop.

Its just fear mongering lol. They’ve been saying this for YEAARSS and yet we’re still here. Reminds me of the “the world will end in 2012” 😂

Supposedly in 2012, we all died at the same time and If that happened we probably Wouldn’t realize but would notice Slight changes happening overtime.

I wouldn't put too much stock into this. Never underestimate the affect of the want to preserve leadership amongst the current egomaniac crop of leaders. I don't like nuclear weapons, but we are far less closer to Doomsday than October of '62.
