why even live?
Josiah Ross
Imagine all the mutated diseases you have no resistance to. Imagine the lack of proper shelter from the elements. Imagine the large roaming predators. Imagine the freezing cold winters.
Fuck nature, humans terraform their environment and build things like houses for a reason.
Ryder Martin
What happened to all the nuclear power plants that continued to run without supervision or maintenance?
Nathan Torres
Most have a security system to automatically shut down if unattender, others just melted down. After 3700 years the fallout is gone anyway
Luke Campbell
...no, nigger.
Brody Hughes
I don't understand what happened to the buildings and other human-made objects. There's no way stone and metalwork would disappear in just a few centuries. Realistically, they would have better luck scavenging ruins to shortcut the civilization start than inventing everything from scratch.
Cameron Miller
The reactors themselves have safety features which cause them to shut down.
However, the spent fuel storage pools onsite need a constant supply of water, and if that doesn't happen, you will have radioactive discharge. I.e., they will blow, and you're going to have dead zones around the plant for a while, which might not be apparent in Stone World.
I know nuclear sounds bad, but cutting off the power to the industrial chemical plants around the world is actually much more dangerous in this situation.

>There's no way stone and metalwork would disappear in just a few centuries.
Water and plants destroy metal and rock quite handily. In the short term, rust is what will claim a lot of our man-made structures and machines. We use iron in everything, but iron is highly susceptible to rust. We protect it with special paint coats, but these start to peel eventually, they don't last more than a couple decades. With no people to reapply the paint, rust would eat through cars and structures within a few decades.
Wood rots away, and stone can be broken by roots and vines. Take a walk down a street that hasn't been maintained in over a decade and see how well asphalt holds up without human intervention. It's full of cracks with grass and weeds pushing through. Trees planted by sidewalks deform the concrete slabs and push up through them with their roots. Plants play the slow game but they are perfectly capable of reclaiming human cities with enough time and no humans to stop them. Between rust weakening the joins and cores of buildings and plants gradually tearing apart the concrete, the wood rotting away, and the wind and rain eroding the surfaces of everything else, a typical human town could be erased in as little as 100 years without even the need for a natural disaster.

Very possible. Timeline from the History Channel series:

They are probably still there, they've just collapsed, had soil gradually build up around and over them, and are now covered with grass and trees so they just look like hills indistinguishable from the rest of the forest. Happened to the Mayans, can happen to us.

>In just a few centuries.
Its been a few millennia, not centuries. And yes, they would be mostly gone within a few centuries too. Buildings are not as long lasting or durable as you think they are. Wood rots and burns, steel and iron rusts, plastic breaks. We have real life examples that prove this.
That said, some remnants are still there. Iirc the "cave" Senku was in is actually the remains of his old school building where he first got turned to stone, just covered in earth and such over the years. Tsukasa's guys later setup shop in a series of oddly square looking caves that is actually the remains of a knocked over building.

Better question: what about stainless steel metal tools? Would they last?
I highly doubt it's possible to recreate those using stone age technology, unless the author decides to cheat and give the MC a convenient access to chrome, vanadium and other additives.
Chase Lee
Senkuu conducted sort of an archaeological dig when he was trying to find Tsukasa's little sister, deep under the surface, presumably in the ruins of a hospital.
Although they found what they were looking for, the implication was that it was only the statues and earth that remained.
Blake Wright
Many cities have parks in them where they plant very hardy and fast-growing foliage. Without constant maintenance these would actually take over city streets and buildings in a few years, not decades or centuries. Only the biggest, heaviest buildings would endure, but the overall landscape would be unrecognizable very fast.
Tyler Brown
The simple answer for how long stainless steel objects would last without people is "We aren't entirely sure yet". It can start to "pit" and gain surface rust after a good while exposed to the elements, but its a very corrosion proof metal. 3700 years would probably be long enough to render it unusable unless it was someplace very dry though.
Jacob Ortiz
That's one of the coolest things I've ever read

>After 2000 years The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris may still stand and be recognizable.

Brandon King
Technically it's still standing and is still recognizable and the fire was man-made.
Gavin Bennett
Don't forget: this is Japan. City-levelling earthquakes are pretty much inevitable on a millennial time scale.

Neato.

So then why don't the villagers know about plastic if it should still be around? Even if they can't make it, they should have some beads or something
Aiden Roberts
Whoever made the hundred tales was too busy sneaking in secret clues for Senku instead of teaching them how to farm or something. Senku can't wake up to civilization already in the middle ages.
Brayden Cook
A few centuries? This was more like 20 centuries. Enough shit already happens in one century to change things. I can't imagine 20.
Landon Edwards
Am I so old that people don't even remember this series? I remember recording every episode of this autistically when I was in high school. Fuck this stuff was great.
Nathaniel Jones
I remember it.

This is pretty much all I'm thinking about when I watch this.
