I never got the fking point in having it ... makes the paranoid more paranoid
just seems catchy, haha
though imo it's super-subjective... you can't tell me we're closer to nuclear war today than we were in 1960-1972, yet according to that clock, we are.
utter bullshit.

Unlike in 1960-1972, when nukes were concentrated in a small group of nations with stable (rational) governments, we now have backwards regimes like those of NK and Pakistan with their hands on the technology. The club has also grown with India and Israel possessing nukes and will keep growing with in the near future Iran having the capability to use them + undoubtedly more nations.Trotskygrad wrote:

I'd say the likelihood of someone using a nuke has increased rather significantly.

Versus the Cuban Missile Crisis?!
It's not even on the clock but I'm sure it should be 1 or 2 mins to 12 if it were.

The whole clock is obsolete anyway. How many people still use analog clocks as opposed to digital for their primary source of time measurement? I guess watching 11:55 turn into 11:56 just isn't as exciting.
Those dipshits don't even have the Cuban Missile Crisis on the timeline.RAIMIUS wrote:
