The idea of a worldwide nuclear war is just about as scary as potential futures get. The people you see everywhere online making light of it are the most frightened and they're making light as a coping mechanism. If you want to see a cope echo chamber in action, go check out subreddits like r/worldnews, where literally every comment is another unoriginal redditor trying their best to talk about it like it's nothing or even funny. It's understandable, if a bit annoying. Deep down, they all know the seriousness of the situation, even if they lack the self awareness to act like it.
