Safe distances from the center of an atomic bomb strike

[AProudLefty]

We have seen different effects radiation were on people. (See those Japanese men, women and children quite a distance away)

In the simulation below, LA's historic center is directly within the fireball, so everyone there would likely be killed.

If a fireball were to hit the city's Mission District, the Golden Gate Bridge would remain standing.

Yes I am an idiot. I admit it.

You'll think so when you see that flash over Tehran. LOL

These people were the lucky ones.

A quick death is my choice over a lingering one. Even so, the "lucky ones" were on a shopping trip to Iwakuni over the mountain ridge from Hiroshima.

I have a friend in Japan whose grandparents wanted nothing to do with the war or anything. You'd be surprised at how many people were against it. It's the same with the Russians and the soldiers in Russia. Fuck Putin and fuck the Emperor.

If I am in a city about to be hit by a nuke?
I am not scurrying out of town...desperately getting caught up in the traffic jam to end all traffic jams.
I am heading for ground zero with a six pack.
Sit back on a chair, crack open a few, (probably in relative piece and quiet while the rest of humanity acts like a bunch of screaming nutcases) turn on some Pearl Jam and wait for the end.

If it is between getting a fatal dose of radiation and dying an INCREDIBLY, painful death?
Or getting instantly incinerated?
I'll take the latter any day.

And I think the world sucks pretty badly now - with exceptions.
Why on Earth would I want to live in one after a nuclear war?
Pass.

This is my choice of beer. 8%.

That one with the (apparently) jumping girl is REALLY creepy to me.

Poor thing.
She never even had a chance at a full life through no fault of her own.

This is mine.

Sadly...I doubt I will be able to find a lime for it.

Blech. Tequila with lime and salt is the way to go. That beer is too weak for me.

I don't see anything 'idiotic' about his post.

A bit too dramatic, perhaps.

But it's fine, IMO.

Well he tells me the obvious about the distances and how they affect people. Why be a Captain Obvious about that?

I want to feel good - not drunk.
I want to enjoy/live the moment.
Not be out of it/for it.
Life is about experiences - not avoidances.

Besides, booze is nothing.
Crack is the way to forget ALL your problems while still being 'with it'...within 2 seconds of exhalation.

But...I think it would be WAY to hard to find crack cocaine at that moment.

You are applauding the ' safe ' distance idiot. There are no ' safe distances ' in a thermonuclear exchange .

Oh it ain't hard to find it. All you need to do is put your hand down behind your pants. You will find your crack.

There's no safe distances? Do tell.

Somewhere there's a pole waiting for your racist prick head.
