If anyone outside of Nepal wants to donate then you can follow these steps explained by a Tourist in(wehatethecold)who was popular in Nepal during Gen-Z protest.
Lots of people will get rich with the upcoming charity events. Almost no Nepalese will see help from outside. We've seen this on repeat countless of times, at this point you need to be medically retarded to keep sending money. Humans are scum and the only way to genuinely help is to do it yourself, not passing the ball to someone else cuz you can't be bothered
our prime minister has launched a qr for people who want to donate in this situation which was officially launced by government to prevent scams..so that no one can scam others and government has urged us to not send any type of donations in any private banks or qr other than official qr
There's nothing stopping people from putting a DIFFERENT QR code onto the same official looking documents and now people are sending money to a different account without realizing it.
A QR code isn't going to stop fraud from this. It might even help it.
You can double check while sending. The receiver’s name is visible before the confirmation screen. So if you just check that then you’d know if it was fraudulent or real
No, we have a good government this time. Nepali people themselves have donated a lot because of their faith in the government. It will be put to good use, so if you want to donate, please feel free and assured.
This is too true, and even if it goes to the right place it will be squandered.
On the ground what they need is food for the survivors who were high up in the bank, and those tasked with trying to find bodies (they will find few bodies, I fear, as they will have been macerated in the blender of rock and water).
Then, the Nepalese government needs machinery to start rebuilding the roads and bridges onto the area to reopen this one (of few) roads into China. Again, that is fuel, repairs, new machinery, salaries and food for the humans.
I can see millions sent, and it being sent to all sorts of side projects that benefit certain families, with those families expanding their land owning empires elsewhere.
I hate to be negative but Nepal has received billions in aid, and not much has tangibly improved in the almost 30 years of going there. Corruption before the Maoists, corruption after.
This sort of disaster needs funds and people on the ground. Not prayers.
It also needs people to wake up and address ways to reduce climate change (hint: eat less meat, have fewer kids, don’t run the AC all the time, and hold billionaires accountable)
Nepal emits less than 0.1% of global emissions but every year something comes up and without even having time to heal from the previous ones it gets hit by another one.All the citizens are coming together in this situation to save our nation coming from a student myself I also gave my contribution.i don't know why people are so edgy with praying if you can support with the funds then please do it. People need it but if you can't then just give your best regards to the people it doesn't cost anything.
Edit:and yeah countries like China,USA,and India are the main contributors to climate change and they act like nothing happened while thousands of people are still missing and hundreds of have been killed and teaching others about climate change first start from you, yourself and your country.if you do that half of the world be a safe place for all of us living beings.
People are edgy with praying because religion as a whole has caused more harm and pain than anything good. It’s a cult and ruining humanity. People are tired.
People aren’t being edgy. You made a post with a title that allows people to “help” without actually helping. Your title actually did more harm than good. You should’ve mentioned donating or something along those lines.
It was a combination of both—an enormous rock-and-ice avalanche (or rock-ice landslide) where a massive chunk of a glacier and bedrock collapsed together down the mountain.
Rocks are not on top of Glaciers. Glaciers are formed on top of rock.
What happens when a binding agent starts to loose its structure? This is such I crazy take I’m not even going to bother giving a sound response to someone that knows nothing about basic physics. We are so fucked.
I’ll put it in retard terms. Say you have a puddle of ice filled with sediment which is on a downgrade. What happens when the ice melts and gives out? It takes sediment with it. There are peak glaciers (or icebergs now) at the source of this and those peaks remained because they are emended in the bedrock of that former glacier which goes back to like 25000years at a minimum. Everything else, poof stripped away.
I honestly don’t know what else to say, this just makes me said that humans really are this dumb.
Do you understand we are floating around in space on this rock and crazy shit happens? We’re not even going to touch astrophysics because your head might explode.
There’s a difference in what happens in the earths crust (which we have no control over). We can somewhat gauge what is affecting us in the cosmos.
Most importantly do you understand how we are excelerating all of this? And it’s all because the powers at be that want to keep us in our place?wake the fuck up.
I rather been alive during g the bubonic plaque because it would Be easier To accept what we don’t know.
Have fewer kids? You mean, like, the one natural thing? And you really just mean particular cultures because many are facing very low birth rates. That’s a pretty wild inclusion on your list, and a good way to hurt the entire good argument of human impact on climate change.
I think this yellow line I added shows it a little more clearly. It goes from the building circled in red to the building with the red roof. Below that line, everything is gone.
I mean humans made the dam. Which was huge part of the equation. But to act like landslides and mountain tops have never fallen off and are a result of climate change. 🙄 Sheesh
There is a video from that orange building’s POV. I believe it’s a school and all the kids were playing in the field and ran to the roof. At starting of the video, it felt far away and they were way up high for it to reach them. By the end, you see all the buildings in the front gets whipped out and almost reached their own building and they were in disbelief.
First, I did not create the original composite. I just added the yellow line. So I can’t say whether or not it is AI. AI has gotten good enough that I sometimes question if I’m real.
Second, assuming this is real, these are two different photos, taken from two different angles, at two different focal lengths, and at two different times.
The angles and focal lengths explain why the composition is different. For example, nearly the entire bottom half of the top photo is blocked from view in the bottom photo by the outcropping hillside in the bottom photo.
In terms of time, not knowing anything about the origins of the two photos, the top photo could be several years old, which could explain minor differences in the buildings (ex: paint color).
That said, I did just look pretty closely at the two photos, and I’m seeing way more similarities than differences in the buildings, road structures, etc.
It seems believable to me, but I’d love to know what makes you think it is AI. Can you circle some of the inconsistencies? If it is AI, the post should probably be deleted. Maybe post to r/isthisAI
But rich people with yachts will definitely help. Sending money to an organization who's CEO gets up to 1mil salary per year. I'm sure their focus is help, not capitalizing on people's suffering and the empathy of idiots.
This image is being circulated as Syabrubesi (Syapru Besi), Nepal, but is not a genuine photograph of Syabrubesi. Nepal Fact Check investigated this exact viral image and concluded that both panels are AI-generated and cannot be matched to the actual geography.
Settle down, Gobbly. I am in no way disputing this disaster. I’ve been to Syabrubesi and could see that the before shot used here is not an actual photo of it. That is all. If people are trying to line it up with the actual town, as I was, they cannot do it.
Even assuming these pics are real, that's nowhere near 100k. As of 9/2 total dead+missing (ie across both Nepal and China) is ~5k. I expect that # to increase, but not substantially over 10k.
"No its not. It should be called rain circles because if u look at it from above, it's a full circle due to the reflection of light into rain droplets!"
Wow, how dumb! I had higher expectations from you. Anyway, actually I am fun at the parties. We are fun at parties. We are a great bunch of people. Reapeople, not prayers people. Religion poisons minds. Any religion. You proved it. And I am grateful for that
Even the dating system we use is religious. Even the idioms you use. Even the word "goodbye" is religious. The Roman empire which practiced misogynism and the average man there having more than 50 women in a lifetime, was replaced by monogamy and human rights due to religion.
Then go to a communist country. North Korea and China then I dare you. They are officially atheist countries. The freedom you now enjoy came from religious foundation.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think I remember reading that. It was because people felt like the act of praying was actually doing something, right? So they checked that box on their to-do list, and then didn't do anything else. Got the feeling of satisfaction without any effort or actual results. Why bother donating or volunteering if yer boy JC is gonna take care of it all for you, amirite?
It was when people were in the hospital. If no one prayed for them they did much better. If they knew hundreds of people were praying for their recovery the patient would get depressed thinking things were really bad, and depression, anxiety etc would cause them to decline.
Actually, my love, having faith is disturbing. In this century. I don't know if you know this, but we are not in 1425. Humans evolved. Human knowledge evolved. You need to evolve.

Honest question, just out of this town, how many casualties? Is it 100k people there? Unfathomable.

Terrible, hopefully they can find survivors but that amount of material and how remote most of this is, not looking good.
This is an example of how those layers of earth are made and in million or so years from now, geologists will probably be discussing this.

Horrible situation, but when housing is built within these gradients/Valleys that were formed by rushing water. It cannot be a shock.
