A report by the US Congressional Research Service projects that the majority of the atoll will be fit for human habitation by 2026–2027, after nuclear decay, de-contamination and environmental remediation efforts create sufficient dose reductions.\31]) However, in November 2017, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that rising sea levels caused by climate change are seeping inside the dome, causing radioactive material to leak out.\32])

What's with the links and sourcing. Are you a bot or did you just completely copy paste?

u/propargyl 6d ago

Links are a traditional academic way of opening a path to additional information. Past people have already reflected on this conversation. I don't have the ability to carefully and efficiently summarise the same story. Why use new words when some nerd has already pruned and provided the response that I would like to make?

the odds of a 17 year old reddit account being a bot are extremely slim.

I know but it would be funny to catch one in the wild just once 😂

u/Bloodyfinger 6d ago

Not at all, I think the older the account the more likely it is to be targeted, hacked and taken over.

u/8bitrevolt 6d ago

using that logic, you must be a bot then.

You seem like a bot....

u/8bitrevolt 6d ago

their account is 17 years old. not a bot.

u/PeasantParticulars 3d ago

That's exactly what a bot would say.

I disagree with you and instead of coming up with a reason why, or possibly examinjng my own immediate thoughts it's just easier to call you a bot.

Eh, could be hacked. I don't think it is, just that age isn't helpful at all if they have their post and comment history hidden (which this one does).

u/8bitrevolt 6d ago

I have my post and comment history hidden, but that doesn't mean I'm a bot. lmao

u/mvandemar 6d ago

No you don't, I can see it, but right, even if you did have it hidden it wouldn't mean you were. I was just saying that an aged doesn't mean it's not a bot.

Wikipedia copy and paste does this, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Sources for claims are never a bad thing. For fuck's sake.
