Coal, oil and gas still result in more deaths and environmental screwups

In before "In Soviet Russia, *insert witty reversal*"

+6

Does that change the fact that many people were affected by this? No. Actually I would say your wrong, since the biological effect is immense, and the radiation exposure from the disaster will affect generations to come, not just people directly exposed before evacuations or the emergency workers dispatched to put out fires and clean up radiated debris with their bare hands (all of which died in months). How? Well, how about problems like people’s reproductive organs becoming radiated, and then unknowingly

+8

passing their mutated genes to their children, who could suffer from, birth defects, genetic abnormalities and mutations both physical and mental, susceptibility to many pathogens including cancer. Then the cycle continues and things get worse when they pass on their genes to their offspring; that is, if they aren’t born incredibly disfigured, mentally challenged, or sterile. No, the implications are much greater. Actually I guess I wasn't proving you wrong but rather showing why this is bad in another way.

+12

I understand your point of view wisdum, and it's a horrible thing to say, but hopefully these mutants (technical definition, not insulting) will be incapable of passing on their genes. If we're lucky this will be the last generation of Chernobyl victims. But in terms of safety now, nuclear is the efficient "green" energy at our disposal since solar is so damned expensive. In terms of the .ytmnd, I don't think this belongs on the site but I'm not going to vote because I'm not quite sure what to think

+13

also, a more simpler reasoning would be thta coal, oil, and gas are used way way more than nuclear energy, thus the disaster rate should be higher.

+3

Just because it was significant doesn't mean it makes for a good YTMND.

What are you talking about Wisdumcube? If comic books and movies have taught us anything, it's that nuclear radiation gives people and animals super powers.

+20

Seriously though, current nuclear energy is one of the cleanest. If given the unenviable option to live next to a nuke plant or a coal plant, you should choose the nuke plant every time. Coal is about as dirty as it gets spewing all manner of crap into the air (including radioactive elements uranium and thorium!) whereas nuclear has controlled waste.

+10

"passing their mutated genes to their children, who could suffer from, birth defects, genetic abnormalities and mutations" That is the very definition of reproduction, and the only ways to prevent this from happening are eugenics, natural selection, or gene therapy, the first of which is frowned upon, the second of which does not occur in humans anymore to a large extent, so the third is the only possibility.

+4

"Just because it was significant doesn't mean it makes for a good YTMND."

Nuclear energy is not efficient. Apparently you know nothing about the waste products or nuclear energy itself.

Nuclear energy is efficient. Apparently you know nothing about the waste products or nuclear energy itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf103.html http://www.osti.gov/opennet/document/purecov/nfsrepo.html Efficient, clean, cheap. Give nuclear energy a chance, it may be the answer to cleaner energy. Russia is just very bad at running their plants. Three mile island was a scare, no one was hurt.

+7

There's a lot of bad things that have happened in human history. There's a great many of bad things that you'll never find on paper or ever hear about. If I make a ytmnd about any of them, am I going to get 5's because you made someone go "aww"? Life's a bitch. Respect n' all, but I was not touched nor entertained. -1 for anime fans.

+5

Exactly, Hyrus. Human history is full of people getting f*cked right the f*ck up by f*cked up events. I'm not going to 5-star YTMND entries over it. If someone wants to create an awareness program, YTMND is probably the last place to start it. Let's just start a new site called, "You're Depressed Now, Dog" and fill it full of holocaust and genocide, thought. Yeah, that'd be swell. YDND FTW.

+12

I guess since a lot of people want me to say it I will: "nuclear power is, for the most part, safe, and Chernobyl was a freak, unfortunate accident" There.

+2

So korf, you are saying that a child's brain growing outside his skull is completely normal and just a natural part of reproduction? I don't think so. I would say evolution is supposed to benefit the survival of people, not cripple them for life.

+1

Evolution isn't supposed to do anything. What evolution does is propagate those genes which allow reproduction. And, like I said, natural selection is in all but the most extreme cases largely defunct as far as humans are concerned. And evolution is not a process whereby each individual is given the best genes, it is simply a process in which those genes which give a greater probability for survival until reproduction are more likely to be propagated among a population.

I'm also not saying that Chernobyl is a good thing. I'm simply saying that this site isn't good. I agree completely with Hyrus. If you're gaining anything from this site then you're capitalizing on the suffering of others. If you're trying to say something with this site it is either both trivial and obvious: "chernobyl f*cked a lot of people up", or it wasn't clear to me. In either case, I give it a 2.

+2

And, on the subject of a kid's brain growing outside his skull, if that is what his genes code for then yes, that is a normal and natural part of reproduction. If it is due to radiation after his birth then yes, it is natural as radiation is a natural phenomenon but no, it is not related to reproduction. And, given that he is crippled for life, evolution would ensure that his genes were not passed on if evolution were actually in practice. However, with modern medicine and communal societies...

that is not the case. However, if he is able to survive and able to reproduce, then what is wrong with that? Are you saying his life is not worth living because it is harder than yours? Nobody is normal. Nature doesn't care about you. The sun causes cancer. If something happens, then it is natural as it is in accordance with the laws of nature. Thus, being as a cripple into a natural and uncaring world is natural and normal, and I wish his brain was on the inside of his head but nothing is perfect.

I do like how you turn someone defends an unsentimental yet obviously true position into a person who wishes all cancer kids would quit their whining. It's a good rhetorical trick, albeit dishonest.

How did I make Hyrus the bad guy exactly? He stated his opinion, and I didn't even once address him (I respect his opinion actually). I was directing some others that jumped to the conclusion that I was making a statement against nuclear power, which I am not. I just wanted to make a site about Chernobyl. I just wanted to evoke emotion. I didn't have some complex political agenda or anything. It is just a ytmnd. How much purpose do you need? When you do have an agenda, that's great, but I don't really.

As far as evolution goes, radiation mutation isn’t natural in the sense that, people wouldn’t normally develop the conditions exhibited in these pictures if they were not exposed. I guess if you still want to call it completely natural I would use the term catalyst, as in radiation certainly magnified these genetic mutations in drastic unfortunate, unsettling ways, and increase their possibility. But then I would also point out that evolution does not just happen over night (or 20 years).

Maybe this is the verge of a new species of man, I don’t know. All I do know is that it is a terrifying thought knowing they may be humans that lose the ability to walk, or rationalize, etc. You have a good point though, nature doesn't give a sh*t, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't. I am not trying to say these people are low creatures that don’t deserve to live, but I don’t think we should encourage people to expose themselves to deadly radiation, develop cancer and mutations, just to see what amazing new

evolution paths we could create, because a lot of people are going to be hurt in the end, as many of these mutations are just going to lead to immense suffrage in life and eventual death. Nobody is normal but if their uniqueness harms themselves or others I have to say it don’t agree with that “kind” of normal, if such a kind could be classified. Yeah maybe we don’t care enough about the cows, or other wildlife affected by this disaster, but that’s because we focus on what is going on at home first,

not because we are insensitive. I am not bashing anyone, I am just saying. You don’t like this site, that’s fine. When I make sites I don’t think about how I can appeal to everyone today. I just felt that in my opinion, it would be worthwhile to make, even if it does not have new profound information on the suffering of human beings.

^lol no one is going to waste the time read this

+8

lol freaky cause I live close to a nuclear plant

+1

It's true that nuclear radiation causes mutations faster than otherwise, and we all know this, and, yes, chernobyl is bad but I still can't figure out why you would make this? You say you wanted to evoke emotion, but you're not evoking emotion, you're providing images from one (likely) or more (unlikely) other sources. You're not evoking emotion any more than the guy who hires Brad Pitt is evoking emotion. You're producing the site, without permission of course...

and removing the context. This evokes emotion in the same way that punching someone evokes pain: you're taking a negative event and giving it to people. It's about as low on the evocative power of artistic expression totem pole as you can get. Now, it's not a high crime to settle for less, but it's also not something to aspire to. YTMND is supposed to be a place for creativity, not stripping other people's work of context and documentation and presenting it in a different form.

I hate people from the Teknorat school of sentimentalism and "evoking a specific emotion" by providing the standard, tired, cliché example of such a thing and setting it to emotive music. I compare it directly to this site http://suchislife.ytmnd.com/ which Teknorat apparently thought was the pinnacle of human expression but really is just a largely plagiarized work barely edited and presented as his own.

Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine

Korf, I am not presenting this professionally, nor am I selling these pictures. I cited my main source. Why would I need permission? Also, how is this taken out of context? These pictures have not been altered in any way. I would say it does evoke emotion since these are real people's expressions captured in a split second of their lives. You can't tell me you didn't have at least at one moment feel sorry for these people? And who said this was the pinnacle of artistic expression? I sure didn't.

Yeah, you punched me in the face, the same way I've been punched in the face a thousand other times by this debacle, but not from your production, just the images themselves. The phenomenon deserves to be documented, but I prefer to get my documentation from the journalist themselves for their perspective rather than just a pity party slideshow. I'm not saying this was supposed to be the pinnacle of human expression, I'm saying I wish you would try to move in that direction rather than play in the sand.

+2

fair enough. I will make a crazy completely original piece as my next site...hopefully

+2

That's what I'm hoping!

+1

You know I hate to say it, I realize this is cold hearted but from a purely Darwinian point of view, the ones with serious genetic mutations are very unlikely to get laid, A) because they probably have lost the ability and B) because people unconsciously seek those with superior genes. Even if they do reproduce their children are equally as unlikely the mutated genes should weed themselves out over generations, that said I agree if we were to have these events repeat the human gene pool already

+1

cont. Stagnant and degrading do to an ease placed by technology, would not be able to handle it. I think the human race needs awareness of these events ESPECIALLY since nuclear power is such a viable alternative form of energy, so that we can maintain and perhaps even improve the safety of our nuclear reactors. This site may not be typical YTMND. YTMND is meant to evolve if it pisses you off korf don't watch it. The rest of the YTMNDers find it interesting thats why its #1 in the top viewed.

To be fair, my site got top viewed because I submitted it at the right time and I was lucky. Not saying the material isn't interesting (I mean I did make the site), but you can't really judge a quality site by the amount of views it gets. I appreciate your thoughts though.

Your lengthy explanation made me care for like .001 seconds.

The fact that anyone cares about stuff like this is puzzling. You live once. Unless you have a f*cking time machine and can go back and stop it why the f*ck do you dwell on it? It happened. I just took a sh*t earlier! WOW!

So you wouldn't care if you were one of those kids that have had to suffer their entire lives of cancer of some genetic mutation? I am not dwelling on why it had to happen, I just think it is really depressing and awful. What's the point of the argument "You only live once" when that one life they have to live is hell. It's sad, and while there is nothing you can do about it, turning a blind eye to suffering isn't going to help either.

hell is other people.

+1

@crazyphoenix: This song was used in onbe of thge earlier episodes.

This site really makes me think about nuclear power pants. While the odds of a nuclear disaster happening like this are extremely low, is it worth the risk? I think so and I think other people need to accept the risk. We need to trust the people running these nuclear power pants. It only happened because the design of Chernobyl was temperamental and that compounded the mistakes of the operators. I think the lesson learned here is that people should just buy their pants from GAP or Old Navy something.

+2

Hahaha communism sucks.

(Not directed at TheCynic): Nuclear power is one of the greatest discoveries of mankind. About 350+ nuclear power plants could supply the ENTIRE US NEED OF POWER. 100 f*cking percent. Yet i'm not surprised the hippie weasels don't tell you that alongside their uncomfortable truths. The people who die mining for coal and drilling for oil and work at lumberyards and such to provide us with energy far exceed the people who die at nuclear power plants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster

@ KamikazeCat: You obviously don't live where I live near one of the first nuclear silos (still active) where the 5 legged deer roam. The threat to humanity from nuclear power is not from lives lost but from species gained. Species with things that no species is supposed to have, like 5 hooves, extra lucky rabbit feet, and laser beams shooting from their eyeballs. I think we've all seen the threat that Cyclops poses to humanity.

I AM SURE YOU"VE GOT VERY GOOD POINTS AND A VERY OPEN VIEW OF OUR SAD WORLD TODAY AND FROM THE PAST, BUT DONT BRING THIS SH*T TO YTMND, PEOPLE COME HERE FOR ANOTHER REASON, IF YOU WANT HISTORY CHANNEL, callem up and ask for a documentary spot on their channel, k? also did you shoot those photographs yourself? if so, bravo

Eh, it could have been even creepier if he did it right. The first half of the ytmnd should have had bright colorful images of children rushing into classrooms, busy intersections, flowers, all that nostalgic "good ol day" feel. THEN he should have injected all those depressing images. It's still fairly creepy though. I give it a B.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

i suspect these images will haunt my nightmares. thanks.

Really sad and disturbing. Song fits so well. As much as I don't want to be insensitive about this, I have to point at that one of the kids looked a lot like a vampire.

point out* not point at.

+4

yes, vampire kid is not pleased with the chernobyl legacy

+2

Throughout this whole thing, I am reminded of a few Aphex Twin videos. Sad.

Awesome site. i saw a video in HS which was kinda like this, only a little more f*cked up. In the 50's, they used to run drills in the desert which went as follows: our government detonates a nuke in the middle of the sand, then 5000 us army troops march in to the fallout, as if practicing to march into the demolished city. Needless to say, in the video the veterans being interviewed had the same hideous effects 20 years later as these people. I really will never forget seeing things like that.

+3

wow, someone didn't think that through huh? I guess no one knew the dangers of radiation.

+1

sooo... this green glowing liquid in my basement is bad or something?

+3

GLOW IN THE DARK GAK! ^_^

+6

nah, it's fine, just keep swimming around in it

+8

I think the movie you're talking about is called "Atomic Cafe". And yeah, the sh*t they made those poor boys do makes me sad.

+1

thanks man. i couldnt remember what it was called. i looked up what your talking about and im pretty sure that was it.

They really didn't know the dangers of radiation until later in fact this event is one of the biggest ones to change it. Youtube duck and cover it was a video from the 50s about what to do incase of a nuclear attack. They really don't think radiation does anything.

Atomic Cafe, right? Great movie. Scared the sh*t out of me. I still think about those pigs they "experimented on" sometimes. Sick bastards.

well, it wasn't that they didn't know in the case of "Duck and Cover" as much as they were trying to keep the American people from panicking by lying to them. Kind of like now, when they tell us we can keep ourselves safe from terrorist biological/chemical attacks by using duct tape on our doors and windows.

I'm sensitive about the whole situation, but seriously this is not ytmnd material. ytmnd is a humour site.

-7 [show comment][hide comment]

I think ytmnd should not be entirely restricted to humor. If you don't like it, stop looking at it and move onto the other 98& of the material which is funny (or at least intended to be funny). I personally enjoy ytmnds like "Size of our Universe" and tripped out sh*t that helps take a high to another level. Why restrict ourselves?

Anything can be admitted to YTMND as long a big joke comes out of it. For example - lol, big feet

Are you trying to sell me a f*cking benetton sweater or something? 'Cuz that would make this funny.

The moral of the story: If you're exposed to radiation, don't have children; Don't live where there has been massive radiation breaches. I guess it's too bad they didn't know.

Odd thing is, my chem class watched a video on this exact subject earlier today.

wow.

Blaming Chernobyl on Nuclear Power is like blaming Drunk Driving deaths on cars.

+6

How was I blaming Chernobyl? I am pretty sure the purpose of ytmnd to show what the nuclear disaster had done, not who's to blame. If you ask me, no one in particular is to blame. I am not going to say its the scientist and engineers, even though their lack of precautionary measures led to the explosion in the reactor, because they could not possibly be directly responsible for the havoc caused by the radiation. Its not like the scientists said: "oh hey, I feel like killing thousands of people today".

Last I heard, they did say that.

I wasn't commenting on the main purpose of the slide show.

oh. Well I guess you can disregard that then.

Blaming Chernobyl on Communism is like blaming drunk driving deaths on drunk driving.

Jesus this is easily the most depressing ytmnd ever. It tears my heart up. People deserve better. Life is so beautiful. I love you.

such a cold reception

I dunno. Personally I come on YTMND to cheer myself up, or if I'm bored. Came on today and saw this thing. Wasn't too thrilled. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a good site, but I'm not quite convinced it belongs on YTMND. Whether or not you're willing to accept it, it's a site that many generations visit, including children, who probably won't even understand wtf is going on here. But whatever, I'm not one to QQ in vast amounts. Either way, well done.

This cheered me up! Made me happy I don't look like them.

Everything's perfectly alright now...we're fine...we're all fine here...now...thank you. How are you?

if all somebody does is vote 1's all day, why do they keep coming back to YTMND? Obviously not for their blood pressure. Just ignore this guy wisdumcube. But youre right why the hell would he vote 1 on a site and then spend any amount of time making a spinoff. His 1 votes must not carry much merit of his actual opinion, he must have thought your site was pretty good in fact. It obviously kept him coming back. This is why downvoters are not important contributors to ytmnd.

France gets a lot of their power from nuclear energy. No problems there. The bottom line is that the Chernobyl design was flawed, and it's not a design that any non-Russian-built reactor shares.

How devastating to see that it still effects so many people. You picked the perfect music to go with the photos.

how bout them mutated people being born there buddy? Did that happen before the accident?

Why yes it did thanks to the Soviets many retarded programs that involved extensive civilian testing and the dumping of chemicals near towns. There are now 3rd generation people with genetic disorders being born all over Russia :D

I stand corrected.

Nuclear energy is currently the most effecient, and moderately safe. However, every once in a while a Chernobyl will happen, statistically. Such is life. Why is this on ytmnd again?

I am not attacking nuclear energy, even if I was, does that really justify giving me a one just because you disagree with my "argument"?

Well actually, the 1 is for "why is this on ytmnd again." Since, you know, it provided no entertainment whatsoever....

if that is your opinion, fine

the internets is serious business! don't laugh!

Fukken lol'd

It's cute how everybody's an expert on energy sources and are defending nuclear energy like this is an attack on it or something. Lawl.

oooooooooooooooooooooh, i just thought you were a twisted mf, but you're proving a point. but you only get 4 for no funny

explain why your YTMND should exist in this form when it already exists in another. Icewolf lauds the 'creativity' of the site when it has anything but. just more evidence that anyone looking for more 'serioustmnds' to bring more 'class' or 'culture' to this site really has no f*cking clue what they are talking about.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it creative either. It is just well presented imo. And that is what I was going for. It doesn't have to exist in this form, but the Chernobyl Legacy project is more interactive, with voice over and text. The mood is a little bit different on that site. I prefer this audio anyway, and my site allows the pictures to speak for themselves now, since there is no longer a voice over. In addition, I added more pictures and they play out in different sequence than what was shown before.

now whether that makes it worthy of ytmnd is up to personal opinion. I obviously think so.

i cannot argue with some of those points, but when the 'personal opinion' of nearly every individual here is 'we prefer external content over anything original,' it speaks volumes of the mean intelligence of the YTMND userbase.

Them's is uncultured he is saying. Philistines, all of you!

I prefer original content too, but I wanted to try one of these for once. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. I didn't expect something like this to get incredibly high ratings, I just wanted to show people these pictures. I think people take ytmnd too seriously sometimes. One well presented slideshow isn't a sin. But you make it seem as if I have committed a crime. If I had enough room on my description I would cite all my sources but I can't so, I should just delete the site then?

Don't take everything too personally. From smoothmedia arose an army of copycats with no point of view, and we've seen the loss of potential take over as the main intention for ytmnders, and it'd be a shame to let it happen again.

+1

yeah. I won't take it personally.

Kina retarded. The Russians left the plant burning for 6 days before they brought in someone who explained why it might be dangerous.

i vote 1, because it's not my problem.

but ask yourself this....do you hate me more than you hate what happened to those people from chernobyl?

no.

What kind of f*cking retard makes a reactor with a high positive void coefficient? Soviets really suck at safety. An RBMK design like Chernobyl generates more energy as coolant leaks out. Virtually all western designs decrease in power output as thy lose coolant. Pebble-Bed Reactors cannot meltdown, even if all the supporting machinery fails, the reactor will just go to a high standby temperature; as the power it generates drops as the temperature increases, eventually dropping to zero around 800C.

Congrats Mr. I know the designs of nuclear power plants

He probably spent hours doing research just so he could impress the few of us that actually read comments down this far.

+2

That still doesn't make him wrong. Western designs and management are far superior to old Soviet systems. The chances of this happening in the West are very, very small.

holy f*ck
