What would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from Earth? 🌍 #thoughtshot

After one week, the lights would go out as power grids fail. ⚡
Within two weeks, house pets left inside would die, while others roam the streets for food. 🐾
A month later, nuclear power plants become unstable, leading to global meltdowns. ☢️
In a year, cities untouched by fallout would be reclaimed by nature, and satellites would fall back to Earth. 🌿🌌
After 200 years, our tallest buildings would collapse. 🏙️
In 35,000 years, plants would remove traces of industrial lead from the soil. 🌱
65,000 years later, CO2 levels would return to pre-human levels. 🌬️
Mount Rushmore would last 7.2 million years before eroding. 🗿
Finally, our bronze statues and buried cities would be the last remnants of humanity, like techno fossils. 🏛️⚙️

Xkcd's creator also made a similar video on their channel what if. And Nuclear power plants have failsafes that shut them down. So they won't explode...

That's not how power plants work...

lol this guy thinks a nuclear power plant is going to explode if everyone just walks away from it.

After 1 year all cities will be reclaimed by nature? Hmmm don't think 1 year is enough. Especially if cities not surrounded by forest. Nuc Ppwer stations: dont they have automated shut down system? Especially, when temp rises to certain degree?
