Other What if Nethanyau declared martial law?
As a French guy watching Israeli democracy die, I’m starting to think of this more and more as a possibility, especially considering the current context.

From another redditor:
Hi! I just banned dozens of people for supporting the deportation of children.
I don't give a shit if it's your first post in our community or if you have a million posts here.
If you express any support whatsoever for kicking people out of our country, I'm deporting your ass from our subreddit. 👊🇺🇸🔥
Please interpret this executive order VERY broadly. I'm looking for a reason to ban you.
Edit: lmao no one else can see the smooth brained shit being posted in reply to this because their comments don't get past automoderator, but here's some follow-up before I get to banning them.
This is not a free speech subreddit. You have no right to free speech here. Your participation in this subreddit depends entirely upon my approval. You have entered our borders illegally and I will send you back to where you came from.
Please continue bitching in the replies so I have a shortlist of whom to ban. I know you can't resist saying your piece even though it will be automatically deleted and no one will see it but me. Then go ahead and appeal the ban; it will be automatically denied and you will be muted. After all that, go touch grass.
Edit 2: I hope the people who are giving me awards are not paying for them. Reddit admins don't deserve your money.
Edit 3: just hit 69 bans in the replies to this 😎🤙🏼

From the African slaves to the European invaders, all the non indigenous males are now dead, the only males are indigenous/are more than 50% indigenous American.
From Canada to Peru, Brazil to the Bahamas, only the indigenous males are alive.
What happens next?
Will the indigenous population grow in peace?
How will Europe and Africa react to this sudden loss?
How will this affect human history?

I’ve been toying with this concept and wanted to see what people think:
What if instead of making every cargo ship nuclear-powered (which is politically, economically, and technically messy), we build a small fleet of nuclear-powered assist vessels — operated by nuclear-capable navies — that meet conventional cargo ships just outside territorial waters?
These “NAVs” (Nuclear Assist Vessels) would: • Tug or escort ships across oceans using nuclear propulsion • Provide zero-emission propulsion across international waters • Never enter ports or territorial zones, avoiding nuclear docking regulations • Be overseen by military/naval authorities already trained in nuclear safety • Offer anti-piracy protection along high-risk trade routes
Commercial ships would handle short-range trips to/from ports using conventional engines, but the bulk of their journey would be nuclear-assisted — reducing emissions, fuel costs, and global shipping’s carbon footprint.
I know this raises questions about militarization, nuclear safety, and international regulation — but if done right, this could be a game-changer for clean logistics and global trade security.
What do you think? Feasible? Too wild? Would love feedback or counterpoints.

What if Cuba democratized and Communism fell there?? I am not talking about how or when it would fall, but more how the world would adjust to a non Communist Cuba??
Whether it’s outside of work or home how would you realistically react if you caught them in the act? Would you confront the person? Would you stay silent for your safety and just call the police?

In this hypothetical they already have the ballistic missile-tech to put a low-yield gun-type fission weapon on it.
What if once the warhead hits the ground, a chemical propellant is used to send the projectile into a plutonium core?
Basically the warhead detonates on impact, just like Houthi homemade rockets.
We're talking about a miniature version of Little Boy from WW2, and it works but it's like 1 kiloton. And there's 100s of them.
Should Iran get attacked again, a regional nuclear war commences in this scenario.
What happens?
Edit:
Iran is a threshold nuclear state, they probably already have this on standby. The empty "shells', the near-weapons grade uranium (which might be enough for a lower-yield explosion) and a dispersal strategy. Attacking Iran could be dumb.💀 A gun-type design is so primitive that they don't even need to do a test. It would be a surprise.
A strategy that I like to call nuclear-guerilla warfare, instead storing these all in one spot. They could disperse the shells & uranium to undisclosed or uncommon locations in cities or warehouses. No one would know, and a pre-emptive strike is just going to provoke more proliferation. You would have to invade Iran, which is not winnable.

I was thinking hard about what tike traveling is one day and I came to a conclusion that in order for time to be transversable at auch a degree then a machine would have to essentially be like a nuclear bomb, but in a regulated and controlled manner instead of an explosion. But then I thought, if colors have the possibility to represent the different states in time, Blue being the future and Red being the past or what ever, what if when someone activates the time traveling machine they accidentally bring the past AND the future into one single location which means it would be like turning space inside outor pulling it through its self which would bring so much mass into one fine point it would maybe create a blackhole and cause some sort of chain reaction to where it ends up as a Big Bang as an unforseen result.
Just a theory tho.

It is something I have been thinking about for a while now and some times keeps me up at night because it's implications is slightly disturbing...
But what if God is a Goldilocks zone? We live in one, and just because of that alone, we have reproduced through generations and mutated and evolved into so many different species of animals and different living organisms. Every idea or invention that has ever been created is thanks to us being in a goldilocks zone which I find intriguing because it's almost like a goldilocks zone is very similar to a mandlebrot fractal, as if you have 1 goldilocks zone then you can practically infinitely zoom in and find oth we goldilock zones hypothetically.
We as life even have potential to bring and spread a goldilocks zone all over the universe if planned and acted on properly, even the concept of God wouldn't be possible if it weren't for one... its just so strange to me that it seems like this would be something more people would be discussing since it is like the root/centerpoint to everything ever we as live have lived through and its all around us protecting us, as life, 24/7.

The best way I can think of this is like, when you swear it is like an exclamation mark (!) And the more you alleviate stress via cursing (!) The more you want to do it when stressed out which means you are more likely to carry that stress back to environments that aren't really stressful but still over small mistakes or times where you have to think of how to socially interact you default more and more to saying curse words so eventually your ratio of cussing vs saying normal words is overridden.
So eventually your day just becomes full of cussing like !, !, !, !, !, which I guess you could compare !'s to a reward, but eventually that influx of consistent rewards gets translated into other aspects of your life. Videogames is essentially full of little rewards whether it's the sound effects or colors from the game or in game rewards, so now you have cussing combined with those rewards which eventually in life when you have to be more professional you translate those lack of rewards into something else. Whether it be porn or drugs or sex. Or what ever. Scrolling through porn is like double or even tripple the quantity of rewards a videogame gives let alone cussing, so then drugs would be like a long sustained reward since the difference reality feels can feel like a reward so I guess like (!-----) which secretly is the same thing as the porn or videogames like (!,!,!,!,!,!,)
