Science What if humanity left Earth to have people clean it while they’re gone?
Like a bunch of people go to mars or the moon while the rest of humanity is instructed to clean up pollution and waste.

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.

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.

So I want to ask the Transformers fans this: What would happen if Megatronus Prime had a little spark left along with Alpha Trion and gets reawakened as well?

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??

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?

Say the US becomes two separate countries. Which one is wealthier? Which one could succeed on their own? Red States or Blue States?

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 😎🤙🏼
