MASSIVE DATA LOSS Anonymous 2017-06-08 05:35:45 Post No. 60810537 [Report]

DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING -- that is what an EMP blast of sufficient power from a nuclear weapon or from the FUCKING SUN will do. All files stored on magnetic media: hard disk drives, solid state drives, magnetic tapes, floppies -- will all be lost. Even after recovery of electrical infrastructure software used to recover data may be lost; or, if the software survives, it will not really work at recovering data from fried magnetic media. All websites are just files and folders stored on magnetic media; imagine the world where all websites are permanently deleted: not very fun.

However, optical media will be totally unharmed. OPTICAL MEDIA = MASTER RACE.

Data loss would be the least of your worries here. 90% of those affected would starve to death or be killed due to lawlessness.

I've been considering that idea for my script but unfortunately I have to go with something less extreme that humanity can recover from fairy quickly. A great idea for an apocalypse though!

Solid State isn't magnetic

And for that matter, the electromagnetic pulse isn't actually magnetic either

You don't seem to know how EMP works. It's fine, ignorance is the common lately. I suggest you to inform yourself with proper documentation instead.
