Ready enough. Plan and prep for self-reliance but never forget we are social creatures and history has shown that in hard times most of us unite for survival rather than turn into post-apocalyptic war bands and cannibal biker gangs. Most people aren’t going to care that they had opposing views on Facebook a year prior when they’re sheltering from drones under the same husk of Walmart. And for the minority that are so truly, deeply, totally immersed in their bigotry that co-survival in the face of annihilation is not an option? That’s why I’m glad I stockpile in a state with incredibly lax gun laws.
its all downward and been way to real already for my tastes. computer. end program. computer. arch. computer. exit. computer. COMPUTER!
Do you remember this scene in the admittedly pretty weird movie Waterworld?
That. Bring it.
If there were an alien craft hovering in a corn field I’d sprint to it with my thumb up screaming GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE
If we’re lucky it’s that quick and easy.
Heheh good one, made me laugh.
We are gonna learn how easy and how damaging a dirty bomb is. And it will have been our fault.
Honestly, I live in a tiny town none of you have ever heard of, faaar away from anything worth nuking. On top of that, it’s shielded by mountains on most sides. Hell, there’s a 15km long tunnell 5 minute walk from my house in case we need to shelter somewhere. Me and mine will probably be fine, but my livelihood will disappear.
But I’m a pretty handy guy who can probably build a decent power source from scrap I have in my basement considering there’s a river nearby, so even if the rest of the world goes to hell, we’ll manage to keep some sort of society running.
And I grew up on a farm, and could run one if needed. And there are quite a few farms in the area, so I guess being a farmhand will be my new career. I wouldn’t like it, but I’d manage.
Sucks that I wouldn’t be able to shitpost about it, though.
Are you really ready to farm enough food for your community without globalization?
Sucks that I wouldn’t be able to shitpost about it, though.
That’s what mesh networking is for
LongFast for shitposts babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
You can send out messenger pigeons. Godspeed.
I thought I was going to get drafted just after 2001-09-11 as a young man in the US and nothing has really felt quite at that level since. I did buy a dosimeter when Ukraine was invaded. I don’t know what the future holds. I’m glad I don’t live near any US military bases nor in the US anymore.
I just want to point out the most important thing here: Thank you for using the superior date formats.
Maintaining our dignity is so important in the coming times.
If our faces melt from the nuclear fallout, it shall be a face of superiority
I exist in a costantly worsening state of existential dread caused by the omnipresent boot of fascism and corporatism oppressing us. I am always ready for this bitch to blow.
I’m ok with it. I would never end my own life prematurely, because I wouldn’t want to cause my loved ones any unnecessary suffering. But I’m not afraid of death.
Never give up.
Indeed. There is still so much good in the world, and you never know what might change for the better in the next months/days/hours.
Try moving somewhere really different to break the cycle.
I’m ready to start smoking again.
Not at all.
?
I guess I’m dead lol
Depression is gonna go downhill if civillization collapses, I rather just reincarnate pls, to somewhere NOT EARTH, Type 3 Alien Civilization pls.
I hope I will keep my general knowledge and intelligence but be isekaied to a world with magic because fuck this whole science bullshit.
What do you mean I’m stuck on this planet?
What do you mean if I’m lucky I get 90 years, the last 30 of which suck? The first 30 have also sucked. And from what it looks like the middle 30 is also going to suck.
What do you mean I have to work in a cubicle for like 45 years of my life, which already sucks, but sucks more because of the cubicle?
Fuck this shit, give me some magic, tell science to go suck a fat one.
Tbf I’m too addicted to the internet, idk if I can survive the withdrawl without it…
Like maybe if the gods gave me an indestructible phone (cuz these things only normally last like 5 years tops) with internet access (like a magical wormhole beaming the signals across realms)… sure… I can do a magical fantasy world and watch anime in my personal time…
So basically In Another World with my Smartphone?
The process of dying scares me but not death itself, so fuck it, whatever lets do this
I recently bought a car battery jump box, that has a full sized USB-A port on it. So yeah, I’m prepared.
