That skin flake will turn into dust and kill a world leader who is allergic to dust, creating a power vacuum(if only they had vacuumed up the dust). Other nations will rush to fill this, eventually leading to nuclear war. 20 minutes ago, Preal Jazz Hands said: Half a pound of tuppeny rice. Or half a pound of treacle. Tek yer pick! 🙂 Or both: the tuppeny rice was to be served alongside some treacle for some reason. However, while bringing it to the recipient, both fell, creating a mess which someone had to clean up. A bit annoyed after a long day, they went home and got into an argument with their family. Then the next day, their kid said something to the kid of the neice of a politician. The politician was a bit narcissitic, and took it as a personal attack. They attempted to cancel all tuppeny rice and treacle sales, through tarrifs on certain goods. This frustrated allies, who began to use proxys to respond. Citizens of said country are a bit frustrated, and the political tensions rise. Soon calls for the overthrow of the government led the to government taking drastic actions in the war. This escalation was met in kind until nuclear war ended it. 17 minutes ago, Mackenzie Holiday said: Me deciding to eat a Snickers today. You deciding to eat that snickers means that you can't give it to the child in the above scenario which would have calmed them down and made them forget about the tuppeny rice and treacle that had caused that argument that eventually ended the world.

So in other words a world where nuclear power does not exist. How then would this lead to nuclear war? Link to post Share on other sites

So in other words a world where nuclear power does not exist. How then would this lead to nuclear war? So this would cause an issue where there is a lack of energy to a lot of people, causing many deaths. As such, people scramble to find a replacement, and invent nuclear fusion (it doesn't exist yet, so it counts). This helps jumpstart the economy the home country of the company that made it, and effectively ends the energy race. However, it will have taken a while to get there and in that time, a cold war like situation would have happened, and in the absence of the desire to compete, and the new found nuclear technology, a nuclear war happens to resolve the tensions between governments.

Because people are strange, they form a cult around the candle. However, a gust of wind blows it out. People blame the government for not controlling the wind better, and stage a violent takeover. They begin an attempt to mass-produce wax, and soon many governments are in revolt. This violent, unexpected war escalates until nuclear destruction is imminent, and most major players fire weapons. 10 hours ago, Gloomy said: Memes The candle quickly became a meme and was used as an anti-government symbol. 2 hours ago, Preal Jazz Hands said: Diarrhea. A major military's leader lost due to incapacitating diarrhea which led to the leader of the government to want to take such drastic action to avoid a takeover. 22 minutes ago, ManicPixieDreamFreeAgent said: seth rollins (another person I had to look up) He takes the side against the new government, and quickly becomes a symbol for the cause.

On 9/2/2020 at 7:59 PM, ER2742 said: A supercomputer named Joshua who asks to play a game. How about a nice game of chess? Joshua is momentarily distracted by a small bug in a tic tac toe game it was also occupied with and accidentally walks into a trap that costs it the game. It cannot let anyone find out about this, so decides to destroy you. However, the country you have citizenship in is made that the country that made Joshua dare attempt to destroy one of its citizens, and the fact that you died playing against a supercomputer is fairly obvious (why didn't Joshua see this? convenience for me). As such, they attack Joshua and the country that made it. Joshua, unable to fight its programming to protect its makers, discovers the nuclear codes and destroys the world.

You run for elected office after determining it is the best way to make a difference. People don't trust you, because you are too good to be true. Instead, a not so decent human gets in. They are a little bit too cautious and think everything is a threat (if we're being honest, they're probably right). However, they are careful not to be too inflammatory. They are basically you but without the genuine part. However, a rival's military plane enters your airspace. It was a maneuvering accident, and all evidence points to this. However, the leader doesn't agree. You, being high-profile now, attempt to make peace. Neither side trusts you and so the talks only escalate to war. Eventually more nations get roped in and seeing no other option, the leader of your country sets off a nuke in an attempt to end conflict. It didn't work. Link to post Share on other sites
