But replace “Hawaii” with your location.

    I will go as close as I can to the most touristy area as soon as I can in hopes I get vaporized so I don’t survive the blast. If it’s fake then I guess I’ll go to some empty nowhereish area in a big touristy park and call 988, then go shoppin and buy some starbucks. The street vendors selling flavored honey and enamel pins and stuff probably are gone so I can’t shop at their thingies otherwise I would. But honestly I’m sick of calling 988. I’m tired of fighting. Tired of trying. I’m going to have dementia in my thirties anyway might as well cut my losses.

    At my current location, I’d expect it to be an error, since I’m about 1500 miles away from the nearest worthwhile target (Chilean Antartica Region).

    Given how slow the elevator is in my building, I’d do nothing. I’d be dead before it showed up.

    I wonder if my neighbours will think fucking around with Russia was worth finding out, or rejoice in the victory of retaliation.

      Russia has a nasty habit of attacking smaller countries to feed their imperialist ambitions and hiding behind their nukes whenever anyone says anything. It’s better to risk a nuclear exchange to bloody their noses and teach them some manners, than let them continue their crap.

      Fuck evil Dobby.

        Both objective reality, and Russian perception, is that US is 100% responsible for instigating and perpetuating the war. The only objective for fighting is to continue to diminish Russia through NATO or US alignment. You are essentially saying that it is legitimate to make the “evil side” STFU through a nuclear strike potentially on civilian/economic targets. You can thank Putin for being so moderate and patient in this war so far, in not making the US choose to STFU and collapse.

    I assume pizza delivery times will be through the roof, so I’d try to get mine in ASAP.

    Nothing I can do. As far as I know there is no bomb safety infrastructure near my house plus I’m afraid of getting trapped underground so I wouldn’t want to risk sitting in one.

    I’d crack a beer, sit out on my deck and call my family and close friends to say my goodbyes.

    I’d be setting off the pair of sirens I own, then awaiting the inevitable. Thankfully I live in an area where the chance of being vaporized is quite high.

    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.

    If I’m at work, I go to the gym (the gym’s in a cold war bomb shelter) if I’m at home I start heading north. Put a couple of mountains between me and the city.

    “thank God, it can finally be over” would be my first thought, followed by hugging and petting my dogs until it happens.

    My wife’s cousin actually got this text while on vacation in Hawaii. Said he just sparked up a joint n hoped for the best. It worked, so maybe I’ll do the same.

    I live with my mom and my wife 40 mins from the vancouver city centre… Honestly I’d probably go sit with my wife, kiss them ‘n hope for the best.

    Also sobbing, that too. Can’t forget that.

      Ohai, neighbour. My mom’s about 9 realistic hours of travel away (aka 2 small BCFerries trips). Can I borrow your mom too? If you also can see the noodlebox location that used to be a starbucks, that is. I can sob like no one else; ugly-crying and everything.

        My mom will absolutely volunteer to be a mom for you too 💛 We can even have a competition about who can sob the most!
