What would hunaity do if we got hit by a really bad solar storm?

[Yinci]

As a creepy world idea I thought about what if the Old World totally collapsed and left behind billions of people migrating to the America's in desperation. I wondered what would cause such a event and I figured the perfect one would be a solar storm that massively destabilizes the modern powers on the other side of the world.

So as China declared it's self a equal and we have cultural conflicts in the west to combat Chinese power. I thought it would be rather enjoyably if the sun where to take a shot at us.

Totally shit thread. inform me!

Solar flares can also fuck up electricity and the weather.

Pros
• People like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk wouldn't be nearly as powerful
• No more internet degeneracy
• All the soyboys would starve to death due to not having any useful survival skills
• Corrupt regimes like Communist China would be unable to maintain their power
• Lapse in pollution and consumption of natural resources due to industry halting
Cons
• Crypto currency disappears over night
• No more laughing at internet degeneracy
• Most of the non-soy population would starve to death (no survival skills)
• Power vacuum would lead to anarchy and corrupt dictatorships
• Despoiling of natural environments due to protection laws not being enforced

Hunaity doesn't exist. Nothing can happen to them.

If you're talking about a bad but brief solar flare then I would imagine massive amount of chaos with governments wielding an iron fist against their own people.

If you're talking about a "really" bad solar flare, Dr. Robert Schoch's theory of the end of the last ice age paints a bleak picture. If the flare is powerfully enough it would bombard the surface of the earth with radiation. It would only take a few days for anyone on the surface to die from exposure. To survive you would need to be underground or in a cave,

Dr. Schoch was also on Joe Rogan episode #1124
