    Alexa, how many nuclear bombs does it take to destroy the world and is it less than one hundred?

    Edit - LMAO a cursory search says that about 100 would be enough to cause human extinction.

      Like simultaneous? Idk how it works, there have been more than 600 detonation historically from various tests.

        Simultaneous, yes. In most scenarios IIRC it's the nuclear winter that kills way more people than the explosion or fallout.

        The premise is that they hit big population centers and completely decapitate the modern civilization.
