Reddit user Monsur_Ausuhnom points out that Lake Mead in the dystopian videogame Fallout New Vegas (2010) has more water than its IRL counterpart. The drought-stricken reservoir in the Southwestern U.S. has seen unprecedented water loss in recent months, setting new record lows by the day. Monsur and fellow Redditers speculate how in the game, set in the year 2281, the lake was able to recover: “In this world, it appears that nuclear apocalypse has allowed Lake Mead to stay healthier.”
