What would you do if you knew the place where you live would get nuked within 24 hours?

[noname223]

When I read about the war of Ukraine and Russia I start to ask me questions like that. It is unlikely but still it is possible.
I live in Germany we could be a target of a nuke.

I don't know I am ambivalent. For me personally it was relieving I think. The thought that this can happen comforted me in a weird way. I don't want to commit suicide but I feel forced to do so due to horrible circumstances. I don't want to do it by my own. I wish I could have an accident which would be quickly lethal. Or something I have no responsiblity for. Something I cannot change anyway.

I really imagined it vivedly this notion. I think I would try to comfort my friends and family in case that happened. Usually I am the one who worriest the most but in this scenario I could be the strong one. I would feel very sorry for all the innocent people who would die. But I don't know I am not that most scared of the afterlife. I am rather anxious I could survive with severe damage. And with a nuke to the place where I live this is less likely. Okay one could say nuclear fallout etc. But then it was a different question.

 

[whatevs]

Do you live in a large city that could actually be worthy of being nuked? I don't.

Yeah, I think I would feel an orgasmic release, to be honest. Life stopped being exciting and appealing a long time ago, but I remain unsure as to what do about it. Killing myself is a drastic measure that's far in the distance.

LMAO, I think my profile pic is saying it all, now that I look at it.

(== DISCLAIMER: This is only in the case that dinosaurs existed, the Earth isn't flat and nukes are real. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ == )

I don't specify anything about my location except that I live in Germany. I am paranoid I know. But one could also say careful.

 

[Angi]

Enjoy my last hours, as I would have no worries about the future.

Release is a great word for what I think I would feel.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Just go downstairs. The zoning department never caught on to my secret underground bunker. Noobs.

 

[Sick of it all]

I'd grab a beer and some popcorn and wait for my final exit

It doesn't matter much where a possible nuke strikes. It could happen in a less populated area, in which case people may flee to the cities, where they will be trapped like rats and terrified, and will hurt and/or kill each other. Nukes are weapons of terror in the short-term, and weapons of plant and soil genetic death in the long-term - there's no hiding from it.

I'd chow down on THC gummies, crank my stereo up to its highest range, and enjoy the end. Rock an roll, sixties soul and disco would accompany me into oblivion. Love to all here.

I wanna die so I'd just stay there and make sure I have my favourite last meal before it happens.

 

[StolenLife]

Only one other country is between mine and Ukraine. I doubt we'd get nuked but in case we do I would not care since I get to finally die.

 

[GrumpyFrog]

It surprises me that everyone seems to be under impression that nukes=certain quick death for everyone... Which would be true only if by "the place where you live" we would mean "nuke will hit your house or at least your neighborhood" but I don't think there is any way to know the location beforehand. On the other hand, the whole situation here is highly speculative.

because i want to die. if even it didn't hit it i'd go to where it does to ensure a quick death.

What I meant is that realistically there is no way to know where the epicenter is going to be if you're just a civilian, the only people that will be able to tell which neighborhood the nuke is going to hit will be the people that launched the nuke, and even then there's a chance they'll mess it up. If we assume we have some supernatural ability to tell that nukes are hitting precisely this street or that building, then I get it. But in real life the closest thig to knowing where it hits would be knowing it goes vaguely towards a certain region of your country or certain big city, and then it's up to your luck how slowly you're going to be dying, for all you know it might take years before you're taken by cancer or the cold and hunger of the nuclear winter.

Keep in mind that even a limited nuclear exchange will likely lead to large amounts of soot being thrust into the atmosphere, which will block out the sun and cause freezing temperatures, crop failures and famine. This has been a hot talking point regarding the hostilities between Pakistan and India.

 

[Maudlin]

I'd find a six pack of beer to drink while I wait.

I'd be fully experiencing what Tim Curry meant when he said "Antici...pation" in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

 

[SectOfValtiel]

assuming someone decided to start carpet-nuking the west coast and hit white trash southern Oregon for whatever reason?
idk, im sure my family would try to take me out of the blast radius, so, doubt id get the choice for it to be a quick death
but if for some reason only i knew it was coming or something...
id have panic attacks for the full 24 hours while i waited to die
id, idk, spend half that time trying to find a way to message my ex probably, doubt i could find her if i tried but still
afaik shes on the other side of the country so... shed be fine
id just try my best to make it clear that i really did love her despite everything, and id do my best to forgive her in the end... try to forgive myself too and probably fail
id want her to know everything i felt was genuine- and even if it was probably fueled by my stupid fucking mental illness, even if she hurt me and i hurt her, even if things werent meant to be... im still glad i met her
just wish it was at a better time in our lives but, even then i think shed have preferred just about anyone else than me haha
if i got the chance to talk to her one more time before it ended thatd be best case but its more likely id find a dead account, message my last words to it, and then
die, i guess?

it would be a relief in the end
life isnt something meant for me, mines been a miserable mess and ive rarely had any genuinely happy moments
haha only ones i can think of were spent with my ex but yeah that doesnt count for much anymore
and at this point i think its pretty clear im not capable of bettering my life anymore, that ships long since sailed, so
honestly that would be the best-case scenario

but yeah
thats another fantasy never going to happen
i try not to think about things like that anymore, just leaves me even worse than before most the time

Take a nap

 

[Forever Sleep]

Shit myself... Try to ring/text people to say goodbye (although I imagine phone networks wouldn't be able to cope.) Listen to some music maybe... Take codeine and hope to fall to sleep. Not sure if I'd prefer to be outside- whetever there was less fire would be preferable.

Yes, I want to die but I don't think it's a 'nice' death by any means. Especially if you're not directly beneath it. Wonder how quick it really is. Plus I HATE fire and I think basically- everything is just cooked.

 

[Celerity]

Assuming perfect knowledge of where it would hit, I'd help get people evacuated over the 24-hour period and then double back while my family is asleep or distracted so that I would be at the center of the blast radius. If I had to choose between dying in the blast and getting more people out of the fallout zone by risking survival, I would choose the latter. Hopefully, I would be able to hold a gun and get the job done after sustaining radiation poisoning, but that's probably even more wishful thinking than this entire scenario.

Yeah, the rational responses here as I see it would be either a) flee or b) CTB ASAP.

Binge on food and rewatch yuyuhakusho the dark tournament.
