But replace “Hawaii” with your location.
🙃
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).
Maybe you’re more important than you give yourself credit for.
In that case, the only immediately available shelter that would have any effect at all is the sweet embrace of a bottle of gin.
Take comfort in the knowledge that somebody out there with launch authority is thinking of you. Immolation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Please send penguin pics or else you’ll be wishing for a ballistic missile
Penguin tax:
My babies ❤️
Whaaaat. Is this even allowed!?
What are you gonna do, call the seals? (Please don’t)
I tried, but they just said “ORF, ORF, ORF!”. Seals don’t seem to understand English.
LOVE this!!! Do you have rock hoppers or macaroni penguins near you? Love those two species.
No, only Magellan Penguins.
But they’re cute as hell!
awww cuty pingwy
Payment accepted. Dress code observed.
Those penguins have it coming.
nooo 😭
Cool! how is the Antarctic? I live in the Arctic.
Cool 😎
19 hours of sunshine, 0-10 degrees Celsius, windy as fuck, and you better apply the strongest sunscreen you can get 3x a day or you’ll regret it.We’re experiencing a couple of hours of twilight at midday at the moment but otherwise darkness. No aurora either because it’s been mostly cloudy since the beginning of polar night. Also it’s been raining on and off, which is not a good sign.
Remember that sailor you won that hand of poker against? The one who stalked away mad? Well he has a brother in the missile command…
This is how this situation was depicted in a made for TV movie on NBC. https://youtu.be/n28NoLNarNs?si=DHOgJqb1QWzulkqg
Not realistic. It supposedly 1983 but they refer to USSR as Russia. Dissolution wasn’t until 1991. Literally unwatchable.
The way they depict the almost autonomous responses of those in charges of firing the nukes is unnerving.
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!
Put on Tom Lehrer’s We Will All Go Together When We Go
My phone is usually dead, misplaced, or the volume is at 0%. So I would probably crack a beer and stand on the porch wondering why the neighbors are freaking out.
If you have a good emergency infrastructure in your country, the volume being at 0% should not be an issue.
You will likely still hear the cell broadcast. Alerts of this level make every phone give off a piercing sound and even if your phone is dead, you will hear it from your neighbours’ because it’s loud.
If your phone and early warning systems support cell broadcasting you will still get notified. Cell broadcast alarms are always at full volume, regardless of your settings.
I’ve done my best to disable all emergency alerts on my mobile device with the stock OS. Time will tell I suppose.
Edit: ah balls, you’re right. Android says the ‘national alert’ category can’t be turned off.
What brand is it? I don’t see national alert as a setting?
It’s a Motorola something
Same boat, after I got a series of very loud “flash flood” alerts going late into the night. Every time the timeframe was extended there was another alert. I did not fancy being woken up at 2 am in my second floor bedroom to a alert telling me to stay off the roads.
Nothing. Everyone is going to get the same alert and freak the fuck out, clogging all the roads, making it impossible to get to a shelter.
I have 2 choices:
-
Center of my cinderblock house and hope for the best.
-
Submerged in the hot tub and hope for the best.
Option number C. Just pretend like nothing happened, probably a false alarm like last time.
Whats the worst that can happen?
In that case, hot tub. False alarm? Still got a soak in the hot tub. :)
Submerged in the neighbour’s wife/daughter/pool boy/donkey (delete as appropriate)?
-
I go outside with arms open wide, saying “it’s about time”.
I’ve got one hell of a cold right now. I’d welcome the sweet relief.
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.
What a dumb message. Of course this is not a drill. This is a phone. My drill doesn’t have the means to accept incoming messages.
you need to acquire a better drill then
This ain’t my dad! This is a cell phone!
Happy birthday to the ground!
If you’re my family, sleep through it while I frantically close windows because I didn’t know what else to do. Most Hawaii homes have no basements usually, so its kind of just fucked
I would know it’s fake because nobody is nuking our small country.
you never know when the goodtime oilbug will bite 🇺🇲
We don’t have any oil luckily.
Immediately get in my car and drive like a bat out of hell out of my city. It’s small but it’s for sure a nuclear target
tons of people will try the same thing. Roads will be grid locked in minutes. Better to try finding shelter underground
I’m gunna be running people off the road and driving through people’s yards
Same but towards the blast. I’ve seen Threads, I ain’t hanging around for that shit.
I do the same thing for a missile alert that I do for a tornado alert…
Film it from my front porch as it gets uncomfortably close, while my wife screams in the background for me to get back in the house.
