Go stand in the street and flip off the CIA satellite overhead. I'm ready.

Go to basement. Got enough emergency supplies to last a while.

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

Ha we don't have text alerts in my country! I would die happy and ignorant in my pretty toilet

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Don't use the stove if you're going to seal up any ventilation.

I'm about 45 minutes from the Sierra Nevada mountains so I'm headed there to a place I know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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.

@IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol

  1. I go to the residential shelter.
  2. Neighbors go to their shelters.
  3. No memes, everyone continues to do their stuff as usual after 10-min shelter stay.

Nothing new here, actually

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

I'm going to the drug store to buy them out of iodine. If I survive, probably going to need it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

And stay a smoothskin? You're passing on a once-in-a-lifetime chance of becoming a ghoul.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bro, just grab the stuff before others take it. There aint laws when missiles by flying.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

If I’m in a country that isn’t at war, and has a strong military:

Ignore it and go about what I was doing. Later on, probably read about some idiot who sent the warning by accident.

Possibly, die in a fiery explosion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Get with my kids and hang out... wherever. No basement, so either in a bathroom or get in a car and park it around behind my house and hope it's enough to protect us from the blast. If it doesn't, at least I'll be together with my kids when it happens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Take me and my cat down to the basement with my phone, water, power bank and lantern/candles, call my mom so we could all be on the phone together, and hope I'm taken out instantly.
