Seriousposting in the GBS nuke anxiety thread:

I know the chalk bet is "I hope a sarmat lands right on my balls and I turn into a cool skeleton" but I'm outside a major strike area and I got kids so I have to have some kind of plan. So it's "Sit in the basement for 2 weeks while the worst of the fallout cools off eating canned food and reading and poo poo, emerge into a world too awful to contemplate." Like I gotta make some kind of The Road rear end go of it because my dumb rear end turned this into an escort quest by siring offspring, lol. I don't have a lot of illusions about being a bad rear end mel gibson meets lone wolf and cubs but I can't just like, give up and feed us all poison or something even if that would be the beep boop rational decision.

You'd never talk about the 'end of the world' around this guy because he'd go into his 'survival plan' in detail, which is basically just "go to my dad's place in cottage country, I have guns." And then the conversation would come back to zombies, like dude I get it, I went through a zombies phase too, but then I turned 22. You just want to shoot people and it's creepy.

They're basically all this guy

From watching Doomsday Preppers years ago, I learned the best method of "prepping" is to be an acquaintance of a prepper, then when poo poo hits the fan, steal their stuff because they'll be too much of a blubbering mess because they just stabbed their cat.

I remember watching an episode of that where one guy convinced an acquaintance to go up into a deer stand on his Compound to simulate a watch for "al queda agents" with live ammo. None of them have earpro on and lead prepper gets bored, says like "I have simulated sighting an al queda sleeper agent" pops off with this .650 mangnum elephant gun without warning in the tiny enclosure; other dude has like blood coming out of his ears.

Folks, hearing damage is immediate, permanent, and cumulative.

Another one, the guy had an admittedly impressive as these things guys compound with extensive food stores and fresh water tanks, some of which he at least claimed he'd deliberately poisoned so that if anyone offed him to get his supplies he'd have his revenge. The mind at work to think that day, like a loving pharaoh tomb curse.

I had a friend who went full prepper nut in the late aughts. When I mocked him, he asked what plans *I* had in case of the end times, and I said "kill you by leaving poisoned prosciutto around and sieze your apocalypse radish patch" and it pissed him off but good.

Last I saw of this guy he was saying Sandy Hook wasn't real and was in DC for the Trump inauguration. Guarantee he's balls-deep in Q bullshit by now.

keeping some like, canned food and bottled water and like, a couple extra 5 pound bags of rice in the back of your cupboard isn’t a bad idea

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


All I want out of nuclear war is for the USA to die. That's enough to put my soul at ease. A world without the US, Britain or Russia would ultimately be a net positive. If you can't promise that then what the gently caress is even the point of nukes?

Also you don't even have to nuke most of the US to kill it. Just stop the fuel supply chain and 90% of Americans will die after a week because they can't get anywhere without a car thanks to sprawl.

Generally a good idea as a hedge against Normal natural disasters and you can rotate it out for camping food and stuff as it gets to its expiry.

A nuclear war happening would be like a real worl manifestation of the Linkin Park song, In The End.
It really wouldn't matter how hard we try
We'd have tired so hard,
And gotten so far...
But in the end, it would not have even mattered.

I was interviewing for a very serious position with a very serious company and the IT VP asked me what my zombie survival plan was. :dafuq: I was like :shrug: Nothing? do I argue semantics about what kind of zombies are they? :shrug:
