    I often wonder what impact it would have on the environment if humans suddenly disappeared

    Probably some significant environmental fallout from that alone as a final legacy of humanity… maybe some nuclear accidents if you time it right

      How automated are the fail saves in these reactors really? I would assume a good number of them would eventually melt down and without anyone there to stop that from going on, you’re looking at a bunch of Chernobyls, continuously spewing out irradiated particles.
