LostXOR

Well... Did they suck your balls?

650 years ago, the place I live was inhabited mostly by the Ojibwe (a Native American people), so I suppose I'd try to find some of them and try to convince them to not kill me and let me stick around long enough to learn their language. Then I could teach them some of my knowledge. Maybe by the time the Europeans come along they'll be a bit more prepared.

If I can't find anyone, I don't like my chances of surviving for any significant amount of time. Maybe I could make it a few weeks foraging for food and fishing or something, but realistically I'll probably end up starving.

"AI-powered" and "20 foot robots" are not phrases that should be used in the same sentence. Also, surely leasing an autonomous robot for $20k a month is more expensive than leasing a regular machine and hiring a worker or two to operate it. Construction workers aren't paid anywhere near $240k a year, and you'll need someone with an emergency stop button watching the autonomous robot anyways.

Adding my voice to the 2 crowd.

I think I lost a few brain cells reading it all the way through.

Nothing about that sounds particularly unsafe if you're reasonably healthy, except maybe the restroom part if you really have to go and hold it in. I wonder if the unsafe nature from the sexual meaning of the phrase leaked over somewhat.

I think it's called Outside.

Hmm, that might work. You don't need a nuclear explosion to set a supermarket on fire so it would be a lot easier to test!

If you're thinking of the neutron and gamma radiation emitted, that happens on an even shorter time scale than the thermal radiation (nanoseconds IIRC) and is absorbed poorly in comparison by a pizza.

I think spinning the pizza at relativistic speeds only causes more problems. Household microwaves run at 2.45 GHz, and at 2.45 billion revolutions per second a 3.9cm diameter pizza would have an edge velocity of the speed of light (ignoring relativity, which I'm sure does not make things better).

This is not true, for the same reason you can't bake a batch of cookies at 2300 degrees for 1 minute instead of 230 degrees for 10 minutes. I imagine delivering the amount of heat required to bake a pizza in the microseconds of a nuclear explosion would vaporize a substantial part of the explosion-facing side of the pizza while leaving the back frozen.
