Put on Tom Lehrer's We Will All Go Together When We Go
Wank
Meh, I'm in Scotland and the nearest even vaguely major city is 30 miles away, they could be setting off tsar bombas and I'd be fine from the several km of solid rock from various winding hills between me and the blast, probably wouldn't even feel much of a pressure wave. Probably just start filling every container I can find with clean water.
Same but in France.
I live in an old house in a mountainous, sparsely populated area totally devoid of strategic ressources (Auvergne).
I'd probably go to my basement which is dug in the granite substrate and lined with stone walls at least half a meter thick.
The other option would be to go to the bottom of the neighbouring valley (at least 200m deep) and would be shielded by the surrounding terrain.
Assuming it's nuclear, sit around and mourn the fact I don't have a basement. Hope that either A: missle defence works, or B: I'm in the evaporation zone. Radiation sickness sounds awful.
Even if the explosion and fallout completely missed my area, I think EMP disruption would be a huge issue and lots of people would be panicking, stealing, murdering trying to survive.
I live near a strategic asset. I bend over and kiss my ass good bye because the good roads out of town just got super clogged.
Maybe get the good bottle out and hope the ABM stuff actually works this decade.
I'm all prepared to host a NYE party so would probably be like the This is the End frat pack movie.
I go outside with arms open wide, saying "it's about time".
There's nothing to do.
I've got one hell of a cold right now. I'd welcome the sweet relief.
Go stand in the street and flip off the CIA satellite overhead. I'm ready.
Ha we don't have text alerts in my country! I would die happy and ignorant in my pretty toilet
Hopefully it's a nice day so I could go outside and lay down in the grass or climb a tree to chill and completely relax.
- I would text my housemate my location and where I planned to shelter.
- if i was at home I would go to the lowest floor in the middle of the house away from the windows. in my current place, I think I'd be in the ground-floor bathroom, so I'd also fill any available containers with tap water while I still could
- I'd follow the news online as long as I could, switching to my radio if/when necessary
- see web pages like this for more tips: https://www.ready.gov/ especially: http://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/2021-11/are-you-ready-guide.pdf
Go to basement. Got enough emergency supplies to last a while.
Given how slow the elevator is in my building, I’d do nothing. I’d be dead before it showed up.
Clearly, war has come. My town won't be the one getting hit though.
Load a few jerry cans in the car, take out cash at the ATM, fill up as much fuel, clean water and firewood as possible, then stop by the local hospital and ask if they need extra hands. Meanwhile give my sis a call.
Sweden, costal village north of Stockholm.
If a missile is on it's way, I'd send a text to my near and dear with a quick "missile incomming, love you, if I don't make it, you can have X".
Then go to bed in my walk in closet.
I live alone in my flat, top floor, no proper shelter in my general area.
I'm about 45 minutes from the Sierra Nevada mountains so I'm headed there to a place I know.
Drugs. So the usual.
I live in a shithole 100km from a NATO capital. I'm not expecting a direct or near hit, so the fallout is my main concern. I should have at least 20-30 minutes to get comfy.
I've got potable water in jugs in the basement already. I'll just grab a couple of mattresses, sleeping bags, camping stove, food, solar/crank radio and head down there. Also some duct tape to seal up the ventilation.
@IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol
- I go to the residential shelter.
- Neighbors go to their shelters.
- No memes, everyone continues to do their stuff as usual after 10-min shelter stay.
Nothing new here, actually
