We certainly do live in a strange new world, don’t we?
The very fact that Mark Zuckerberg is pushing so hard to get you into the “Metaverse” should be warning enough, but if that didn’t do it for you perhaps this will…
What is the first thing they want you to experience in VR?
How about living through a Nuclear Bomb explosion?
Charming, right?
You can watch a video of it here (which I’m sure is somewhat toned down compared to living through it in VR):

Backup on YouTube here:
Ummm, Coraline, sorry huh but it doesn’t look “beautiful” to anyone but you.
And probably to Bill Gates and his ilk.
I’m sure Klaus Schwab likes it too:
it looks beautiful tbh

If you want more information on where to find this and experience it yourself in VR, I have it for you here:

From YLE.FI:
The Paradise VR experience has been created from video and photo footage of Enewetak Atoll taken by Yle journalists. The 1952 explosion of Ivy Mike was digitally recreated and modeled to fit the actual environment.
- To obtain the most realistic-feeling and immersive experience, it is best to use highly developed VR viewing equipment. If you have this kind of gear at your disposal, you can download a suitable version of the VR experience here for free (3.0 GB). You’ll need a SteamVR-compatible VR headset – for example, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Windows Mixed Reality devices – along with a high-power computer.
- Another alternative is to dive into Enewetak’s amazing atoll with this versionof the Paradise VR experience for your mobile phone. See the events as a 360˚ video in the YouTube app by turning your phone sideways or by using inexpensive VR viewers. You can also download a video for your mobile phone or computer from this link (mp4 file, 600 MB). The only thing you will need is a player that is equipped to play 360˚ media, such as the Android VR Media Player.
- Another option is to watch the Paradise VR experience as a 2D video on your computer screen. Use the mouse to move about and explore your environment.
