  • Ah yes, an 80 year old definitely has the perspective to understand Gen Z. It’s possible, extremely unlikely, but there are always exceptions, just look at Skyrim Grandma.

    Quickest way to tell is to see how they explain a current massive meme like 6-7. If it’s some overly complicated explanation, they clearly have no fucking idea what they’re talking about, degree or not. A degree just means you’re more educated in one specific thing, the higher that degree, the more specific that knowledge. Often that means anything unrelated to that specialization end up lacking. Some of the most educated people I know are the absolute dumbest as soon as it leaves their very specific knowledgebase.


  • Much more likely would be a dirty bomb. Just a regular bomb with some nuclear material that it spreads. The nuclear material isn’t the bomb itself, but used exclusively for the exposure effects. You don’t even need plutonium or uranium for this. There are plenty of other radiological sources to make dirty bombs. Old radiographic medical equipment for instance.

    There are hundreds of thousands of orphaned sources in the world. Several of them have caused the worst radiological incidents in history.

    The fact we don’t see this already is quite surprising.
