Every single Sci-Fi game: "The Ancients said never to go to this place. There is nothing there but death and misery."
Every single Sci-Fi game player: "So anyway, we went there."

[Hankathan]

"You approach closer."
Never before has a single line so fully encapsulated the human experience.

we should still build the spikes. just to fuck with future generations

Fun fact: construction workers at the high level waste disposal site in Finland joked that, since the site was best suited for waste disposal, with no active fault lines and no natural resources, they had a possibility of digging up nuclear waste from lost civilization s during the construction process.

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
― Terry Pratchett

"This is not a place of honor" is just so viscerally unnerving to me for some reason. I forget and come back to Nuclear Semiotics from time to time, but that single line is something I never want to forget.

I think nuclear semiotics might be unnecessary, but it could be artistically worthwhile. Things like spike fields simply go hard as fuck

[HeiBao]

"Dig a lead lined grave before entering." Would be a warning that would frighten me.

[toothlesssal]

Is it bad that i now want to be one of those nuclear priests?

[crazeelazee]

It's insane how all these ideas were put forth and not one person decided to ask an archeologist about his opinion.

[alexmiranda]

I personaly prefer my nuclear waste buried underground as opposed to being safely released into the atmosphere like the coal and gas emmissions

[peterwallace]

Person encounters the barrel of hazardous material, they touch the hazardous material, they get a real cool skull and crossbones shirt and pass out from how cool it is

[davemcdill]

The way is closed. It was made by the dead, and the dead shall keep it

I know you talk about this, but if I stumbled across a wasteland littered with enormous jagged obelisks reaching into the sky, I’d 100% go explore it. Probably not initially, but after visiting the edge a few time and building up the courage (and getting some buddies together - safety in numbers and all that) I’d venture in.

tldr: I’d be the idiot 10, 000 in the future dying of radiation poisoning

[leobragaurbe]

We should do the spikes one because it’s insanely cool

[alexroselle]

if your video contains:
- two or more well-paid engineers
- who have names
- who work on a secretive government project related to nuclear energy
= then congratulations, you've passed the Bechtel Test!

If this spike field were to be built, many many people would visit it, further cementing it's legacy and history of what kind of place it is.

Ray-Cat adjacent, a species of flower has been modified to express different colors when exposed to the chemical offgasses of land mines. The flowers are seeded by air and when they bloom the mines become as obvious as polka dots.

That room with all the plaques is counter intuitive to getting people to leave. By building a Rosetta Stone of many of the languages of our time, they would be creating one of the most important and highest traffic archaeological sites in human history.
