But anime amiright?

this would actually be achieved by a team of 20 thousand oompa loompas with small shovels and 500 million tons of cocaine

Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.

No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.

One can hope

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.

But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

I don't think there's anything that could make a crater like that on Earth. Like, an impact big enough to leave a crater that big would render the entire crust splashy enough to fill it back in.

the safest place is in the eye of the nuke

You can't convince me that isn't a nipple snuck in by the image creator.

No, sorry, letting arabs live is antisemitic. And that's a bad thing to be. I don't make the rules; i just uncritically accept anc enforce them upon those who cannot defend themselves and nobody else.

And they got crimea back!

Interesting that South Sudan decided to forfeit its independence.

Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.

Which is illogical if it is supposed to be an epicentre of explosions. However, if it was Israel nuking everyone around... I mean, one ongoing genocide may not be enough for them.

Imagine how much potassium they could export with direct access to the GZ Ocean?

Edit: And Russia would have warm water ports! Ukraine War averted!

(keikaku means plan)

Considering that we're in the midst of the Anthropocene mass extinction event already, I'd say it would be a certainty. The only question would be how bad it would get. Given how much larger that crater would be than Chicxulub, I'm guessing it would exceed the "Great Dying" (Permian-Triassic extinction event) to take the crown.

Edit: The Wilkes Land Crater in Antarctica, which may be associated with the Great Dying, was "only" a little over 2.5 times larger in diameter than Chicxulub and thus still way smaller than the crater depicted. That said, I guess a nuclear crater wouldn't be associated with a flood basalt "exit wound" at the antipode the way an impact crater might be, so maybe it wouldn't be comparable.
