[@quarkchild]

lol it's in the lore dude read up

[@fessy4]

if that is true... it means vault techs still alive....

[@NerdBlake7]

Well, Vault-Tec were still alive... And then FO2 happened.

[@DarkestMirrored]

I have, interestingly, seen a few discussions regarding how the popular understanding of MAD is... not entirely accurate. A _lot_ of the fear of Global Annihilation was really just fear-mongering on the part of the military-industrial complex. Basically, MAD was never about targeting random cities and wiping out civilian populations. It was specifically about hitting the other side's missiles and military targets. Not even... infrastructure in general. Why? Because A.) We never had anywhere close to the nuclear arsenal required to "wipe out all life" and B.) because after you've spent all your nukes... you're defenceless. Conventional military action is still possible. In fact, you don't even fire all your nukes. Whatever survives the first wave then becomes your bargaining chips to try to force negotiations and to defend yourself against invasion if they fail. Because nuclear exchange was never actually about Wiping Their Civilization Off The Map, everybody who lives (and it will be a lot of people, with guns and tanks and bombs included) will be able to look at the aftermath and, say, go "holy shit you targeted civilians like a monster, now that your deterrent is gone we're going to rightfully fuck you up".

[@mikoto7693]

I cling to the logic that nuclear war can’t happen because it’s impossible to wipe out the enemy total nuclear weapons stockpile because most of them are kept aboard stealth subs. Launching nukes absolutely will fuck up both sides. It a terrible fucking idea.

[@NoManLP]

I love it when you swear, its hilarious, and practical. When one realizes we could have been UBER fawked.

[@Yukendoit]

I really like this channel and I am really impressed with all the work that you put into all the shows. As an American living in Japan currently, I was very happy to hear your reaction to the fact that we could have nuked ourselves to heck and back. I know you'll probably never see this message, but thank you for making this message of peace in an analytical dissection of a video game. Stay groovy sir.

[@LaurenTheorist]

These videos are almost like therapy to me. Putting extremely terrifying situations in a different light by explaining the science behind them. I dunno why understanding something scares me yet comforts me. I guess it's just better than thinking we could all die at any moment. Which we could anyways, not just from nukes. We could slip on a banana peel and crack our head open, I guess. It's happened.

[@l0lhei541]

Never stop swearing, Austin. Please. I beg of you. You beautiful human bean.

[@genericcombatmedic4530]

+Felkhan Whiteball I don't know about you man but i find swearing to be not dirty and rude but more of that it makes you seem rather uncouth and lacking any ability to string a proper sentence together, this isn't always the case but i find people that swear a lot to be not stupid or illiterate just uneducated in proper sentence structure, this is me though i'm not a fan of swearing unless there is a reason to, i do swear a lot but i don't unless there is a good reason to do said action.

[@vicentetemes5793]

I want a Fallout game based off of post-war China.

[@collinperry4206]

Agreed

[@mooohmarius4554]

Or Europe? Like a future Nazi Germany? xD

[@hunterleavitt9446]

That'd be cool, but not really "Fallout" because a large part of fallout is the retro-futuristic American feel.

[@vicentetemes5793]

Lordtranq Son Okay then. Dear Bethesda, please make a new game called Farrout, where we see a lot of Mao propaganda and fight desucrrows and gurrus in an attempt to stop the Forbidden City's inhabitants from installing filthy imperialism.

[@tkdfighter8]

Or aristocrats, who treat their kids like Wilhem Busch. Or some storys from Grimms Fairytales. Ah, sweet childhood memories :) Furthermore, french revolutioneers. More facists in Spain and Italy along with Romans as long as thieves.,burglers and rainding bands from eastern Europe and I'd feel home there.

[@dragonnova2163]

also you turned a diameter of 25 miles into 25 square miles without any kind of conversion. a circle with a diameter of 25 miles has an area of approximately 176.71 miles. this makes your answer off by at least an order of magnitude on its own and its even worse if that 25 miles was a radius.

[@avabethmcghee3048]

Being just old enough to have done duck-and-cover drills in elementary school, I got a real kick out of this one.. we could have *actually* wiped one another out as nations, leaving our respective rural people to rebuild everything from scratch.. seeing the cold, hard numbers had me empathizing with every single F-bomb he dropped. O.o

[@razorswisher]

YES!! I'm not the only one who remembers! "He's only *_mostly_* dead."

[@stubbyfoamz1]

it makes me wonder do you think the rest of the world will send scientists to search the ruins of the war and involve themselves with survivors?

[@jacobwillis7596]

The hole earth is screwed to .

[@jacobwillis7596]

Presh Lord My bad I think I was half a sleep while typing this .

[@ShadwSonic]

2:55 Well... this screws up the whole "what if Undertale happened, but when they got to the surface humanity already blew themselves up" idea I'd been thinking about (as for why Frisk would be there... well, let's just say the protagonist wouldn't be FROM that universe)... I may play fast and loose with these sorts of laws when they're based on extranormal energies (because we don't know how they work), but Undertale's humanity would be essentially the same tech level and type as US, and thus would nowhere NEAR outstrip current stockpile by that much! Closest I could get would be... huh. A Fallout/Undertale crossover... wonder if anyone's made a good one of those...

[@DASBIGUN]

+ShoddyCast the rest of the world may be worse off then you put in this vid. This would be mainly not only the nuclear winter which would cause a starvation to wipe out a lot of people. Also, there would be a large amount of people in these countries which suddenly have no resources coming from America, China, Europe, and no oil coming out of the middle east. Mass riots would more then likely ensue along with the previously mentioned starvation.

[@roseliaaguilar9339]

7:00 Honestly, it’s therapeutic to hear Austin swear.

[@abid5087]

I’m watching this because I was so nostalgic for the time when he could swear. It adds so much to the video

[@Willow_Sky]

So funnily enough, we now know due to fallout 76 that the entirety of the US wasn't nuked. Most of the Appalachian region was not nuked and there were a lot of survivors immediately after the bombs first dropped

[@RaulLazo22]

Imagine if Bethesda made Fallout:World mmorpg

[@sentinelkevin7375]

Eww...

[@Kalleosini]

+RaulLazo22 If you know what my name is, you know I can easily imagine it, and I'd be unhappy to see it occur.

[@howardmoon3075]

gross

[@dhoulmagusrhapthorne9082]

they havent proven their worth when it comes to lore-friendly mmorpgs

[@TheAsylumCat]

despite what you might hear of eso, it is actually quite popular, most folk simpily did not take shoddycasts warning of thinking it like skyrim with friends, that killed it. a fallout mmo to me sounds like a dayz set in fallout without horrible bugs. it likely won't happen with eso up, and the fact you would have to capture most of nuclear America's landscape to make it work.

[@evanharden2003]

You forgot to account for multiple warheads on a missle like the US Minuteman missle

[@riccardos2955]

Yeaah but they are 125kt each, Also the warhead split in space and fall in to theyr Targets as indipendent bombs. He counted them when he spoke about 66k nukes in the world. What he did not account for is that 80% of the 66k bombs we had 1980s where to big or to bulky to be strapped on rockets and Bombers where not developed enouigh to have a realistic chance ever dropping its payload in cause of a war. Also half of the bombs to that time where from the 50s and to old to be used. Paranoia for nothing literally, in case of Nuclear War with China, Russia and the US you would not see more then 1000 Warheads flying. Reloading is impossible since the first nukes will cut down electricity, communication and Radar (EMP'S). Its like a One shot gun where you know you cant reload anymore. Different story in a Conventional War where ,,Tactical,, Nukes will be used (not more yeld then 10kt). A 750kt Nuke is not Tactical its clearly a Strategical Device.

[@blendpinexus1416]

something i feel i need to point out, the nukes we were building irl have much larger yeilds than the fallout nukes and i think we still have the nuclear capacoty in jsut the united states arsenal alone to falloutify our won world in it's entirety. which is a very scary thought

[@berniebroig8745]

You may not believe me, but your videos both on this channel and on Game Theorists is basically just a lullaby to me; the sweet combination of science applied to and through a medium I love makes me enjoy learning. It's also soothing, for some reason, and I like that. Thank you.

[@berniebroig8745]

@MinxlenGaming I mean yeah, but short-term memory plus intense nostalgia basically restricts me to older vids. That is a good point, tho.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

@ShoddyCast minecraft's end reminds me of a theory in cosmology for how the universe will end called "the big freeze" but also enderman teleportation blows my mind. busy shooting giant zombie ants in the minecraft mod "erebus" please discuss endermen and the end. >.< unless its somehow artificially maintained the End makes no god damn sense.

[@matts.6234]

Nuclear winter wouldn't be a problem in the Fallout series. I had heard that 12 nukes launched in the same day would kill the entire planet due to nuclear winter, but to cause nuclear winter, you would need the dust from the blast to reach into the troposphere (70,000 feet); only a megaton bomb would be able to achieve this. As you stated earlier, the Fallout bombs are from 200-750 kilotons, so no nuclear winter. Other countries near blast areas would deal with dust storms and radioactive rain for around a month, then it would stop (other than radiation in the soil which stays around much longer).

[@tedcook9621]

It's just a thought, but, NOT all those bombs have to be limited to 750 Ktonnes. You can still haz megaton range city burners and such.

[@spiritofthewolf15x]

It's not just the nukes the Fallout-verse had to worry about it was A NUCLEAR REACTOR IN EVERYTHING as well.

[@liberumastrum4095]

Trump helped create this video "CHYNAH!"

[@zach7482]

And he's probably helping to push the world closer to nuclear war. But let's not get political.

[@anticommunist3415]

Yeah Trump the man who eased tensions with North Korea, and made peace in the middle east wants a nuclear war. Grow Up.

[@ToddColstrom]

So I'm late to the party, but to add to the conversation I had a class in college about nuking the world (Potential Ecological Effects of Nuclear War). One exercise we had as homework was to take an estimate of the Soviet nuclear arsenal and a list of US cities in order of population density. Our goal was to maximize civilian casualties. The quick summary was that you ran out of good targets way before you ran out of nukes. So yes, we once had the capacity to totally blow it all up.

[@jamesdinius7769]

Yep, and that's just what we knew the USSR had. They probably had way more than that.

[@thememeyestcat7294]

Hum, comparing the distance between locations in the fallout games and in real life and their size it indicates that the world of fallout is probably very smaller than the real world. That's an important detail that you didn't thought about.

[@proximacentauri1172]

6:50 but then you have to account for the the Mr. houses that exist

[@MGYT2106]

I love this channel because 3 reasons 1) I love science 2) I’m from Illinois (but live in North Dakota) 3) from watching this I can say I’m smarter than my classmates

[@dragonnova2163]

the nuclear weapons on our timeline consumed more materials than those constructed in fallouts time 4:40 so it wouldn't be 1:1 nuclear weapon produced irl to one of the nuclear weapons used in fallout

[@laurenbrower580]

Austin Hourigan don't you ever sensor yourself when it comes to your videos again because your colorful language, projection of ones own voice and having your own narrative which make your science both stimulating and entertaining to watch . So, just stay to your original format and never again change a thing .

[@meateater2180]

Lauren Brower what's with the huge spaces and spaces before full stops?

[@micah9639]

One other factor that wasn't talked about when mentioning how countries not directly hit could survive is that those countries would probably fall apart anyway. Think about it. The global economy or what was left of it would completely disintegrate as the richest and most powerful countries in the world would effectively disappear. Trade dries up and foreign currency would be effectively useless as the countries the currency belongs to would not exist (no US dollar without the US). Furthermore, the US and Europe produce the largest amounts of the world's food with Ukraine, France, and the Great Plains being the most fertile regions in the world and in direct line of the nuclear devastation. All of a sudden, the most fertile lands in the world become irradiated or simply stop growing with no government to manage it. Finally, the surviving countries would not only have to deal with fallout spilling over into their land but also probably the world's largest refugee crises. The amount of people fleeing into these countries would make countries like China and the US buckle even if they were at their primes. I can't imagine countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo having a prayer of taking care of refugees of that magnitude. Pretty much I predict the Fallout world is something like most of the Northern hemisphere is an irradiated mess including the Middle East and India while what's left fell apart in the 30 to 40 years after the event and now those areas (Africa, South America, Australia, etc) are not irradiated but dens of anarchy nonetheless

[@PewTheToaster]

I hope in the future theres a containment facility that is made to contain the world's entire stock of W.M.D.s

[@Yeehim]

One small note about the state of the rest of the world in Fallout - noone except the US has fusion technology. Which means all the rest of the world is left in a resource deprived state, unable to muster any greater technological advance or expansion.

[@bluelick7578]

I like the wearing. each time you swear someone somewhere easely offended is having a seizureand I approve of that.

[@PalleRasmussen]

Vault Tech started the war. Script for the film (that is discarded) says that.

[@Kurzidan]

Hey Austin. Don't forget all the Power armors running on Fusion Cores all the Generators running on Fusion cores All the nuclear plants All the nuclear cars/vehicles all the Micro-fusion cores All the fatboys and mini-nukes Unused Nuclear arsenals All the Sentry Bots running on Fusion cores Think some of the other Robots run on some kinda nuclear power too... Sure most of them seem to have escaped the carnage - but all it takes is 1 to ruin someone's day - and enough "1 for 1s" in the right areas could result in more widespread fallout, on top of other things.

[@richterman3962]

Kurzidan it was atomic not nuclear

[@alexarnold8461]

I just got over the power of the star bombs. Cheers.

[@The_McBullet]

We know from the Fallout: New Vegas companion Raul Tejada that as far down as Mexico city was affected as well.

[@thesaneyoutuber]

While Mexico wasn't as directly annexed as Canada, the United States had basically toppled their government and made them a US territory, so they were targeted too. Unless the United States did the same thing to South America, they're probably fine. Either way, Africa is almost certainly good.

[@NyandogeBlastedLoner]

6:16 When you hear that music, you know shit is going to get real REALLY soon!!

[@fedorsykora272]

2:02 Australia be like not my busdiness imma just chill out here, Madagascar, yo got some popcorn?

[@lomalanni]

Wait, so does this mean us Aussies are still having our BBQs with now slightly irradiated sausages?!

[@Crusader_Lite]

Nukes were accidentally discovered is the funny part

[@Cloud_Seeker]

No they were not. The Little Boy nuke wasn't even tested to work. The scientists that made it was so sure it will work it was sent right from the drawing board to the factory. The bomb that was tested was the implosion device since that was a completely untested concept. So new that the Russians didn't even have a word for "implosion". Nukes were always well understood of what they will do before one was ever created. You might mean that radiation was discovered by accident, but those two are not the same things.

[@nickblazer7658]

No one: Absolutely no one: COPPA: "No swearing on content for meant for kids". Austin: *Hold my beer*

[@My1xT]

I really like your cursing. makes the SCIENCE easier.

[@Steeler091]

You’re not taking into account MIRV’s. They’re not just single warheads

[@NathanaelNewton]

"people who dont like it when i swear are really going to have a field day today" LOL

[@dylanoconnor1819]

Austin you didnt take into account large nukes, like the tsar bomba.

[@zacm4567]

This video was the gateway to the game theory video

[@graphkid]

Now after playing fallout 76 and learning about their auto system I’m surprised the world isn’t destroyed

[@kurisu7885]

So the Fallout Universe could potentially have it's own Wakanda.

[@elliejohnson2786]

Didn't even mention Australia and how we wouldn't get nuked at all because A: We aren't even mentioned in fallout, thus making us not a target and B: We have never held any nuclear weapons (but have fired them inside our country for scientific endeavor).

[@xzwingnutzx2221]

I'm probably a little late, but you should cover destiny 2, specifically Rasputin blowing up the almighty and what that really would have done to earth

[@elric5371]

Dude 200-750kt is not a tactical nuke it’s a large strategic nuke at the moment. America’s largest nuke is 1200kt and it’s average is less then 500kt.

[@tylerneice210]

I want a fallout set in Australia.... the things there are already god-damn horrifying, just imagine mutated versions...

[@therealcarlxii]

I always think about how remote places like the Faroe Islands would look like in Fallout. I mean most people don´t even know that they actually exist, let alone were they are located. So I think that´s the perfect spot to survive a nuclear war. Can´t find it on the map, can´t nuke it :P

[@codygrimm8791]

what I want to know is, do we even have enough uranium 235 or even plutonium 239 available to even support such a high demand for nuclear fuel in the Fallout game?

[@CAepicreviews]

Man I love how you add The Don saying China when China comes up.

[@GGCannon]

@ShoddyCast make an episode on top of "Master of Orion II"

[@frasermallet9494]

do you think there is any flying machine or any point on earth that can get us high enough to remain unscathed by radiation from a fallout like war ?

[@Priyo866]

I guess aside from USA and China, the worst effect would be felt in India. - If reunited with rest of former Indian territories (i.e. entire South Asia), it has a population larger than China. This is true in real world as well, albeit no reunification yet. - Since in Fallout world, people and governments didn't radically change from 1960s world...we can assume India retains its heavy diplomatic isolationism and neutrality policies of they '60s. - But at the same time, India has nukes, more sophisticated than the ones in China during Cold War due to Indian scientists having a head start. Which is why, even though it isn't mentioned, India is VERY likely a major participant in the Great War. Even if southern Africa has returned to normal life, India most likely won't since it too would face heavy nuke barrage. - Another factor is that India has historically been wealthier than China (although both of them controlled more than 50% of the world economy before 19th century), and we can assume that India with its industrialist policies of the '50s and '60s has slowly rebuilt its wealth and GDP back to controlling a big share of world economy. They would certainly have lots of nukes, on par with both major participants. - In lore, USA had Vault-Tec building Vaults. China likely had a network of bunkers in all major cities that functioned similarly, given that they built a few in real life during the Cold War. India in real life did not have any such thing since there was no threat of nuclear attack aside from some incidents. Given the massive, dense cities, even smaller nukes can kill millions of people within India, just like coastal China. - Radiation winds will stay within India once they form, since India is bound by all sides from mountains. So while radiation levels lowered within 15 years of the Great War in USA, in India the high-level radiations would stay for almost 40-50 years. And cause India to become a Ghoul/Zombieland. - Those who do survive would die of famine, as food production in India (despite being enormous in scale) depends on a very intricate natural and environmental balance. Assuming everything turned into desert wasteland after the war, that means monsoon rains stopped and people can't grow anything other than simpler crops in their backyards. - We know that sea level rose and flooded lots of places after the war. That means the entire Gangetic Plain region of India, where high population is concentrated since bronze age, is below the sea level in Fallout. And people wouldn't be able to escape so fast, and most probably millions were drowned. All these factors combined plus a bunch more, means if there are any people left in India at all, they would either be Ghouls, ghosts or scraping for life in violent raids after taking over remaining military stockpiles. More agony than China.

[@M12GProductions]

Never forget you can die in an instant at any time.

[@acuraboolin6303]

On this same subject, Russia has unveiled a new missile. According to the Russian new network Zvezda, the RS-28 Sarmat missile is said to carry sixteen 40 megaton thermonuclear warheads capable of destroying the area of France.

[@-CrimsoN-]

The difference is that atomic technology took precedence over computerized technology.

[@AHappyCub]

sometimes I wish that the Fallout series use present day theme, I hate pretty much every weapon in every fallout game I played. still, it's a good game

[@breitgespielt]

I know this is not game related, but this question came to my mind: Could a nuclear winter be a solution against global warming if it gets to critical? I mean if we would drop the bombs where no people live and where the least possible amount of surrounding gets destroyed. Or at least less gets destroyed as to if the globe would be getting hotter. (PS I'm not a native speaker, so I hope that I chose the right words)

[@ocsartobi6844]

It would solve global warming the same way burning a house down gets rid of a mold problem. You kinda solve your problem, but where you live is just ash now. Nuclear winter does drop temperatures, but by putting clouds of radioactive ash into the atmosphere blocking the sun and dusting the land in toxic snow that makes the land itself hostile to life.

[@d1scordia]
