When AL was pushing that button over a hundred times, I literally said out loud "what are you a child!?!". Then I realized yes they were😮💨. Lovely a good chunk of humanity gets wiped out by accident by a curious child without proper adult supervision
Oops is a funny word. It's a word that's come right before some of the biggest catastrophes, and some of the greatest discoveries. It's right up there with "Huh?" in the repertoire of famous world-changing phrases.
The word "oops" does sound better and more socially acceptable than some of those other world-changing phrases like "What the Bloody Hell" or "Damn, that's gonna leave a mark.".
There is a game "Big Red Button" and I think it has a sequel. I have not played it, but saw footage of it being played. Big Red Button is also a Meme; a Button with a warning "Do not touch the Red Button, or X will happen. The AI found a Button that had no warnings or explanation of its purpose. But the AI had a question "What does this do? No harm meant, but the AI now has a lot of Karma for a mind only days old.
I want this to have a sequel/ series where the AI tries to fix its mistake. Maybe teams up with a human in the real world who they explain everything to and can help them.
My "Oops" was when I was an active duty Marine in the Corps: While inside a large ammo and munitions cargo hold on the lower decks of the USS Wasp (ie: filled with thousands of 5.56 and 7.62 rifle rounds, 20 and 30mm aircraft gun rounds, all kinds of grenades, 50mm mortar rounds, 120mm tank rounds, and 155mm artillery rounds - not counting the 500, 1,000, and 2,000lb aircraft bombs) - I dropped a pen that I wasn't supposed to have with me down there (ie: no metal objects in the munitions hold - to stop any potential ESD) - on the top row of a skeleton crate of 155mm howitzer rounds. It was like slow motion as the pen started to fall out of my pocket - like in the commercials: "Noooo!!!" - as it slipped through both my hands that were swiping at it. I froze, closed my eyes tight (and butt cheeks), and got that sinking feeling deep in my gut, and waited. Tap, tap - tap, tap, tap - tap, tap - tap, tap, tap, tap, and finally......TAP! - as the pen sounded like a Connect-Four game, while hitting every round in that row on it's way to the bottom deck of the munitions crate I was standing on - one that was loaded all the way to the top of the ~15' ceiling (minus about ~3ft - just enough room to crouch without getting on all fours). After I got up the courage to move - I left the cargo hold as fast as possible, signed off on the forklift I was supposed to be PMing, and never went down there again. I still shudder at the thought of me almost sinking the USS Wasp. Oops!....
Dear Lord, using plural pronouns over individual pronouns is absolutely stupid and absolutely awful writing. A pronouns is a placeholder for a name and the pronoun refers to a specific name in adjacent text. By using a plural pronoun to refer to a singular entity, confusion is caused. Is "their" referring to the singular character, or is it referring to a group separate from that character? It is profoundly stupid to arbitrarily utilize plural pronouns in writing.

"Oops" is often the answer to the question of 'Huh', and it never ends well.
"That's weird ..."
Annnnddd , what was that.................................?
“You *what*?”
Have you ever felt, targeted, by a HFY story? My “oops” story involves only 10lbs of C4, myself, and my sergeant at the time.
My “oops” story involves a plastic lantern that I thought was metal, a cup of fuel and a lighter.
the what now?
@@jackmack4181 mine was kerosene, firewood and my apartment
I've had several, the worst was the camera. That was not cheap.
Oh come on, don't leave us hanging like that! Do share!
Yep, huh, damnit and oops. Four words that can make your day or break your heart.
Hey GPT 6, we all hope you learn from such stories!
The plagiarism machine? I hope it chokes on poisoned data.
My “oops” story is from my dad in the marine core who nearly blew up half of an entire base becuase of a potatoe in foil and a microwave
I was about to say I don’t believe you and then I reread and saw “marine”. Yeah, that checks out.
@@jesusofbullets ooh rah baby
Good thing real nukes are off the grid and use physical mechanisms and such to operate bc everybody is paranoid abt some hacker doing this.
Until 2017, we still used floppy disks for our nuclear systems.
@@jesusofbullets I knew they kept it old school, but that's wild

Louis Slotin's whoop was immediately followed by a flash and a fierce soiling of the room's collective pants.
Followed closely thereafter by, "you can't prove it. I was never there"
That was really good! I could see just that happening.
*Security
*Button
me: ... is it a nuke?
*NUKE
me: ... whoops

This story is making the rounds of all the narrators, I see.
